I'd typed the British at first but apparently that would be incorrect

This meme makes a humorous reference to medieval Scottish history, joking about the enthusiasm of 13th century Scots to go to battle against the English. It features an absurd edited image of Big Bird from Sesame Street sitting in a horse-drawn cart in a green countryside setting, holding a spear with an excited, angry expression. The top text sets up the premise: '13th century Scots when someone mentions fighting the English:', while the bottom text on the image shows the reaction: 'we ride at dawn bitches'. The humor comes from the combination of a dry historical reference with the over-the-top, chaotic energy of the absurd Big Bird visual, which exaggerates the Scots' historical readiness for conflict with the English.

This meme was sourced from the Reddit:Meme RSS feed. It was created using the Mematic mobile meme editor, as indicated by the 'made with mematic' watermark on the bottom left. The original poster noted that they initially used the term 'British' in the top text, but corrected it to 'English' as the former would be historically inaccurate for the 13th century context of Anglo-Scottish conflicts. It repurposes a popular existing meme template of Big Bird riding a horse-drawn cart, which is commonly used to express eagerness to join a fight or group activity.
