civil war

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.

We never thought we'd see the day that some enterprising Twitter user decided to assign Muppet lookalikes to prominent Civil War generals, but it's officially come. On September 6th,  Phd candidate @CNZander began their humorous journey, introducing the world of Twitter to the fact that Braxton Bragg bears an uncanny resemblance to Sam the Eagle. Even more amusing? That General Custer had curls that nearly rival Miss Piggy. We've included some of the astute tweets in this gallery, but you can check out the thread for more whimsical and historical goodness. There's definitely more where these came from.

Everyone's favorite media conspiracy theorist Alex Jones recently stated that the Democrats are plotting to go to war with their fellow American citizens in a civil war on the Fourth of July. Twitter users have started mocking this claim with the tag #SecondCivilWarLetters, which emulates actual letters that people wrote during the original Civil War.

No matter what your political affiliation, it's probably safe to say that we can all laugh about how ridiculous this assertion is!

Ah 2016, the year that all of our favorite superhero's forgot what the heck they were doing and decided they all needed to fight each other (like isn't Thanos still out there?). In honor of this redundant infighting, it is with great satisfaction that we bring you the top 10 superhero movie trailers this year (by views) and a truckload of the best memes they spawned.

The newest behind-the-scenes photo tweeted from the set of Captain America: Civil War gives us a great look at part of Cap's new team. Of course, as soon as it was out there, someone had to make it a meme.
