The United Kingdom is a country in Europe. It was first featured in the Season Four episode, "Pip". It later appeared in the Season Eleven episode, "The Snuke", when the United Kingdom military attempted to invade the United States.

Background

"Pip"

Malcolm McDowell presents Charles Dicken's story "Great Expectations". The format parodied that of the TV series Masterpiece Theater.

"The Snuke"

The British attempt to invade the United States to deny America its independence, however, they fail when the United States Air Force jets fly in and destroy the Royal Navy. Queen Elizabeth II then commits suicide.

"Canada on Strike"

Then-prime minister Gordon Brown denied World Canadian Bureau President Stephen Abootman's request for money earned by the Internet

"Pinewood Derby"

Gordon Brown was shown as one of the world leaders that congratulated Randy Marsh on discovering warp drive using the Official Pinewood Derby racecar kit.

"Members Only"

Boris Johnson calls then-President-elect Garrison in a panic and warns him about the dangers of eating the Memberberries. Garrison, who is blatantly unreceptive, angrily disconnects the call with an insult to the British politician.

Military

The British are portrayed as sailing in Revolutionary War era-naval vessels. The Army is shown equipped with the outdated musket and wearing the standard "red coat" uniform. However, modern technology such as mobile phones is still used by the commander of the fleet.

Britons are also seen as knowing all about castles, legends, and myths. Their clothing is archaic, including flat caps, Victorian-style bolas ties, and red jackets.
