These 39 Bake Off memes are deliciously chaotic, just like last night’s episode

‘You won Sura, enjoy the pineapple upside down cake, I hope it makes you very happy.’

5 years ago

Trash

Last night’s episode of The Great British Bake Off was arguably the best episode ever. The drama of Boris’ announcement delaying the start time, Matt Lucas’ Boris impression, the pineapple upside down cake scandal and of course the many awful show stoppers who looked nothing like their celebrity counterparts.

Bake Off is what we all need right now, an hour and a half of wholesome escapism to get away from the shit year that is 2020. The show was hilarious and created some quality memes in the process. Last night Twitter was full of reactions and memes to the first episode of the eleventh series of the show.

From memes about Boris interrupting the start, to Sura the Saboteur, to Freddie Mercury resembling the Pringles man, these 39 Bake Off reactions need to be seen:

1. Who does he think he is?

Baker "This is a cake in memory of my deceased cousin whom I cared for deeply. I'm actually a little emotional"

8. I can just see her arm full on knocking them over

Love how we’re in a global pandemic and as a nation we were addressed by our Prime Minister but the most shocking, scandalous thing we have witnessed today has been pineapple upside down cakes hitting the FLOOR #GBBO

16. This is defo Prue’s aesthetic

Anyone else think Prue's necklace looks a little like she's murdered the teletubbies and she's now wearing their head antennae things as trophies?
Anyone? No? Just us? Alright then. #GBBO

27. Seems legit

Me in 2000: "I wonder what the future will be like."

38. Bold claim but I completely agree

I can't believe this is only the series premiere, because I would go as far as saying that this is one of the single best episodes of Bake Off ever #GBBO pic.twitter.com/Hcek6ewL0r

39. It really warms your heart

Had a proper cry at the start of Bake Off. The bakers gave up being with their loved ones in order to film a show all about comfort & simple pleasures. They made real sacrifices so we can enjoy a TV show about cake. Wow #GBBO
