Better than any history book, the Internet has made it its mission to tell the story of Brexit with “Seinfeld” clips and they are hilarious. Whoever thought of this is a genius!
There’s the one of George as the UK and the sympathetic Jerry as the United States, encouraging him to just pretend the vote never happened.
And then when George takes his advice and shows up at the first post-Brexit European Union meeting. (Hint: it doesn’t go well.)
Then, of course, there’s Jerry as the spiteful Brexit voter taking his decision back almost immediately after he makes it. This video has no sound but it’s definitely worth a watch.
