What is the modern British man? Does he replicate Joe Rogan's kettle bell workouts, love a cold one and vlog boohooMAN hauls? Or does he prefer the honesty of the ocean, its solace and lurking fury?<\/p>\n
Why not both?<\/p>\n
Being honest, I thought the meme lads were over. Enduring, sure, but no longer in the professional poster's repertoire, like 'Wood' - who your one mate from school still believes to be the pinnacle of WhatsApp humour.<\/p>\n
But they're not.<\/p>\n
If anything they're only really in the second wave of their popularity, like coronavirus infections in the UK, and, who knows, a triple threat Easter could be on the cards. If you're not familiar, here's an earlier iteration of the meme:<\/p>\n
It all started, presumably, with the fellas getting a cute pic pre-sesh and has now morphed into a deep fake video in which the four-man group form an acapella band and sing a sea shanty for the internet's pleasure.<\/p>\n
Thank vonstrenginho, formerly of this parish, for the edit.<\/p>\n
The shanty is 'Wellerman.' According to Genius: \"From 1833 onwards, the Wellermen, ships owned by Weller Brothers of Sydney, supplied provisions to New Zealand shore whaling stations from their base at Otago, NZ.<\/p>\n
\"Throughout their existence, the Wellermen (also known as the Weller brothers), became New Zealands paramount merchant traders. The lyrics evoke imagery of one of the Wellermens major functions; supplying sugar, tea and rum to shore whalers.<\/p>\n
\"In January 2021, this song became a meme on TikTok.\"<\/p>\n
So there you have it - Rogan or the high seas? No need to choose.<\/p>\n
