For Brits, looking through the Very British Problems page on Twitter is to stare into a mirror of our own social anxieties and odd character traits, wittily exposed for all to see.

The observational social media feed is making the leap to the small screen with the help of a variety of British comedians, including James Corden, Jonathan Ross, and Stephen Mangan, discussing their awkward encounters and faux-pas on the frontlines of British etiquette.

When we say awkward, we really mean it – take, for instance, Vic Reeves’ observations on small talk at the doctors... during a prostate exam.

“What that involves,” Reeves eloquently explains, “is you lying down on a bed and having the doctor put his finger up your a**e."

If that alone wasn't uncomfortable enough, it’s excruciating with you factor in the added pressure of having to make idle chit-chat during the procedure.

“I’d be quite happy with that if the doctor was quiet,” says Reeves. “But he wanted to involve me in conversation.

“As he did it, he says, ‘So, have you got a busy day today?’”

Now that is a very British problem.
