Some people are twentieth-century history nerds, and others geek out over ancient history - these memes are for the latter. And who doesn't like a nice little dose of ancient Rome every once in a while?

What's better than education in the form of memes? Nothing, that's what. Any students out there should request that their history teachers use funny memes to make class just a little more fun. 

Unless, of course, your teacher is a Boomer, in which case you're outta luck cause they'll never understand.

We firmly believe that nobody has to feel guilty for scrolling through memes, but these historical and educational memes are definitely nothing to feel ashamed about. Looking through these memes is basically studying.

We don't mean to show our age, but damn, we hope schools have started incorporating history memes into lesson plans. We'd have been a whole lot more engaged if we could laugh through the classes - especially AP European History. This big gallery covers everything from Ancient Rome through World War II, a veritable smorgasbord of historical humor. So happy scrolling. You may end up smarter for it.

Paging all history nerds! These historical memesare a little more specific than our usual galleries - and they'll please anyone with a bizarre fascination with the Roman Empire.

Gather 'round kids because we're about to give you a nice big helping of historical knowledge in the form of memes, which is always vastly more interesting than any history class you could ever sit through!

These memes are for the history buffs and lovers of folklore. Ancient Greece was a fricken wild place according to the mythology alone, so it's no wonder that so many historians and nerds alike are completely fascinated by it!

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.

If you love history as much as we do, then you're definitely going to love these educational memes that span from the ancient days to the Cold-War era. They're certainly more entertaining than sitting in your boring college history lecture.

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

Whenever any old person complains about how life today is "so violent" or that this generation is "going downhill," all you have to do is show them a few of these memes, which show how incredibly f*cked up people were in the past.

History memes, but make them spicy! These funny tidbits are for people who like their educational comedy with a little extra edge. Just make sure that your ultra PC friends don't see 'em and we good.
