In a 2022 TikTok interview with social media personality Daniel Mac, Brooklyn proudly declared his chef credentials as the reason for his lavish lifestyle.

The clip exploded online, with viewers roasting the son of David and Victoria Beckham, for his perceived nepotism and lack of kitchen experience. Social media erupted in mockery, cementing it as peak Brooklyn cringe.

Couldn’t decide on an accent

During a 2022 Instagram clip from an interview, Brooklyn seamlessly switched between British, American, and even Italian accents mid-sentence while discussing his life.

Fans quickly clipped turned it into endless memes about identity confusion.

Wine cork disaster

In an Instagram cooking demo in 2023 for spaghetti bolognese, Brooklyn accidentally dropped a wine cork straight into his simmering sauce, and kept cooking without removing it.

Commenters lost it over the fail, dubbing it a metaphor for his half-baked chef era.

“That wine cork will be tender and have a nice tomato taste to it .......... I guess a wine cork = FIBER,” one person wrote.

David burns Brooklyn over Instagram followers

In a family YouTube clip in 2016, an excited Brooklyn announced hitting one million Instagram followers, only for dad David Beckham to deadpan, “I’ve got 52.”

Booking.com ‘genius’ joke

In 2024, Brooklyn Beckham hilariously leaned into the self-deprecating humour for Booking.com’s ad campaign, playfully fumbling lines while hyping travel deals with his signature deadpan charm.

In a cheeky twist, he joked about being a “genius” for booking smart stays, nodding to his own internet meme status and proving he’s fully in on the jokes.

He even joked “I see my bridge over there,” while pointing at the Brooklyn Bridge.
