Snowclone of Make a work more American. Essentially, what you do is you take aspects of a work and change them up so it feels more like it could have taken place in the United Kingdom for ten posts.

🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

My only hard ground rule is that British-made or British-set (fully or mostly, but not partially; those are allowed, just not the scenes in Britain) works like Harry Potter are off-limits.

Anyways, let’s get started.

The first work is SpongeBob SquarePants.

1. The Krusty Krab serves fish and chips instead of hamburgers, and the Krabby Patty is now called the Krabby Kod.note

5. SpongeBob and Co. meet a caricature of Queen Elizabeth (or King Charles, depending on when the episode was made) as a fish, for some reason.
