The line "We are not amused" is famously attributed to Queen Victoria, who, as legend has it, uttered the phrase after seeing a production of Gilbert and Sullivan's HMS Pinafore...or, as other legends have it, dropped the quip after hearing the unfunny punch line of a guest's joke. And whether she said it or not, the line has become ingrained in our culture, and, at times, our faces―including the visage of Victoria's great-great-granddaughter Elizabeth II.
So, to honor 94-year-old Queen Elizabeth, relive 50 times she was not amused―for, well, your amusement.
"There, right there. See? I think she's wearing the same kilt?!"
"Honestly, apple pie? Is this a joke?"
"I know, I didn't want to wear the plume, either."
"No, I don't have a bee in my bonnet. My bonnet is TOO TIGHT FOR ANY BEES!"
"Psst...shh!"
"Really, I'd hardly call this 'The Next Harry Potter.'"
"That flibbertigibbet better remember to ask for whipped cream on my hot chocolate."
"I'm just going to say it―this is BS."
"I knew flower crowns were over."
"Oh look, this joker must not have E-Z Pass."
"Scones with GRAPE jam?"
"You know, I always thought Bella should have chosen the wolf with those abs over the vampire."
"I've always hated skywriting."
"What are they spelling? P-O-Oh come now."
"Are those my Thin Mints?"
"Are we missing Game of Thrones right now?"
"Stop with that humming, man!"
"See, it says right here, Game of Thrones is on at 9 P.M., not 10! I knew it!"
"They better have DVR."
"I ask you every time not to bring those. Every. Time. But noooo."
