WWII

While it's said that history is always doomed to repeat itself, it's definitely anything but boring. These fresh (and spicy) history memes take the stuff of dull classes and actually spin it into something funny. Lord knows you'll probably learn more from these funny pictures than you will from a Zoom class.

Let's face it, 2020 has been something out of an apocalyptic horror story. But it's important to put things into perspective. Historically speaking, the world used to be pretty damn f*cked up. We're not about to compare Covid-19 to the Spanish Flu or Black Death, but maybe (to some people) it's comforting to remember we're far from the first people to deal with plagues, fire and brimstone. These spicy history memes are a great reminder of that. 

Every time we open our phones or turn on the television there are constant reminders of how absolutely terribly the world is doing. While dark and edgy history memes aren't going to solve the climate crisis or find a vaccine for coronavirus, they're a pretty decent reminder that the planet has gone through sh*t and bounced back for the better. We're just hoping that happens to us sooner rather than later. Happy scrolling!

The era we're living through seems pretty bleak most of the time. It's hard to ignore the pandemic and our current political shitshow. But the past has been just as bleak, if not more. These dank history memes use humor to lighten up that darkness. As a bonus? They're kind of educational! 

You guys really love the history memes, and you're in luck because so do we, so we'll keep giving them to you as long as you want 'em. Now please sit back and enjoy some educational content!

Good news for history buffs who also happen to appreciate the finer things in life. And by finer things, we mean anime. These history meme/anime meme mashups offer the best of both of those worlds. Finally, a way we can enjoy the dark themes of WWII and our anime girl fantasies all at once.

It is often said that history is bound to repeat itself. We like to think that's an exaggeration, but it's definitely true where history memes are concerned. And not in a bad way. Memers have proved that it's possible to retell historical events using an inane variety of meme formats - some of which have nothing to do with history at all. We've rounded up a nice selection for you, but if you find yourself wanting more check out one of our other galleries or the r/HistoryMemes subreddit. You won't be disappointed. 

If you're tired of memes about coronavirus and lockdown, we've got the antidote for you. Instead of focusing on current events, these history memes culled from the depths of Reddit focus on the past. While some of them deal with pretty horrendous topics, they're still a welcome break from the craziness that's happening in the present. Enjoy the respite.

History is a lot more fun in meme form, isn't it?

If you're looking for fresh memes from the dark and dank corners of Reddit, you've come to the right place. The r/dankmemes subreddit is a place where you can find extremely spicy memes jumbled with exceedingly dumb and topical memes about everything from United States politics to normie gamer memes. We've put this gallery together to spare you from the bad memes 

You don't need to be a history scholar to appreciate the informed comedy of these history memes. From Henry VIII to classic World War II memes, these jokes will make you feel like you aced history class, whether you did or not. And if these memes don't satisfy your nerdy cravings, these historical tidbits of humor might do the trick.

If you're a high school student who loathes going to your history class every day, then you may want to try some history memes instead. They're far more interesting than sitting in your boring class or strolling through an equally boring museum. Just take our word for it and scroll at your leisure.

In the world of dank memes, pretty much nothing is shocking. Which is why we didn't even bat an eye when this illustration of Hitler in a fierce duel with Stalin started popping up as a meme all over Reddit. The wild image is being used mostly as an object-labeling meme, to represent two forces at odds - two beloved songs from Shrek and Shrek 2 come to mind as an example. While some people might think this format is low-effort, we take pleasure in the meme's basic versatility. Funny memes really don't have to be complicated.

Come one, come all for this roundup of fascinating history memes that we've gathered up for those of you who find yourselves wanting that sweet knowledge. Only it's better than anything you learned in your high school history class, because history memes also provide entertainment in the form of comedy!

World War II was a horrible, bloody, and dramatic period of time for pretty much the entire world. The atrocities that occurred are many. As is the case with most controversial and offensive times in history, the war has spawned some almost shamefully spicy and dank history memes. Here are some of our favorites.

We think history can be really fascinating, but we also understand that learning it out of a textbook is boring as heck. If you're a high school history teacher reading this, then you should definitely start utilizing memes in your everyday lessons if you want students to retain the information better. Who else agrees?
