WWII

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!

It's wild to think that world-changing historical events can be summed up into silly little image macros. I wonder what Marie Antoinette would say if she could see herself depicted in a chad doge vs. virgin cheems meme. It's fun to imagine how memelords a century from now might meme this 'unprecedented time' we're currently experiencing. Will 2020 be an insignificant blip in history to humans of the deep future? Or will 2020 memes get all the upvotes on some futuristic version of r/historymemes? A lot to think about. For now we'll happily continue scrolling through dank history memes about past events.

Isn't it weird to think that maybe one day our experiences wil be retold in meme form? 2020 has already inspired a zillion memes, but these trials are going to be in history books. Hell, there's probably going to be an entire chapter on coronavirus alone. While we struggle to keep our heads high as obstacles are flung at us, it's nice to look back and remember that the past sucked too. That's where these history memes come in. While we don't take pleasure in the pains of our predecessors, it's nice to feel a bit of solidartity.

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! 

We've got another round of spicy memes that take dry historical facts and make them dank af. Some of them might be a bit nsfw, historically inaccurate, and not the most politically correct, but hey we provide memes, not an ivy league education. That's not to say you won't learn a thing or two, so turn on that big brain of yours and get into the meme zone.

We've got another dank collection of memes full of educational jokes and history humor. These memes span over many centuries for those looking for a spicy joke about the Munich Agreement or maybe a good Crassus gag. Not gonna lie, we had to google the context of some of the more obscure ancient Rome memes, but that's part of what's so fun about these. Accidentally learning something new just to get the punchline? We'll take it. 

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. 

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.
