history memes

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.

If you're looking to distract yourself from the responsibilities of the real world, you've come to the right place. We've spent years of our lives procrastinating, so we've got it down to a science. All you need to excel at this art is a finger and a whole lot of memes. We've got the latter covered right here. Have fun. 

Congratulations, internet traveler. While time may seem more like a false construct than ever, you've managed to make it through yet another thankless Monday. If you relate at all to Garfield, that's no easy feat. As a reward for your physical and emotional fortitude, we've carefully collected these moderately amusing memes just for you. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the light chuckles. You're safe now.

You don't have to have aced your history classes to appreciate these memes. Mostly sourced from the fruitful historical communities of Reddit, these amusing tidbits tackle history in a way that makes even bleakest times seem humorous. They also have an uncanny way of helping us understand just how screwed up our forefathers were. There's a whole lot to parse through right now, but if you find yourself craving more history goodness, try one of our other lists here or here. They won't disappoint.

These memes are for people who like ancient history, 20th century history, and everything in between. If you're a history buff then we're pretty sure you'll find something to laugh at. But if you like content that's a little more specialized, we've got you covered with some ancient history memes!

Not a soul knows when schools will operate in-person again, so we thought we'd deliver you the next best thing to real education: educational memes. Okay, so admittedly they won't come anywhere close to the school experience, but at least they're more entertaining than school? Sure, we'll go with that.

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. 

If you don't understand the reference of the title then you are too young to be scrolling through this gallery. We're just kidding, of course. Even if you weren't born until after 2000, we hope you can at least learn something about the twentieth century from these memes.

It's bad enough that we're constantly inundated with coronavirus news. Why do our memes have to be all about the pandemic as well? It's not that we don't understand this is a trial that most of the globe is struggling with, we just wish more memes were capable of distracting us, even just for a little while. Hopefully these memes will help you do just 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!

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.

We've always been honest about the entertainment that we offer you. It's a source of pride. We're not here to pretend that these are the best memes ever created. We're not going to claim that you'll be gasping for air from laughter. All we will ever promise is that we have memes. And they're funnier than the work or the studying you should be doing.  

When you want something, do you just take it? Well, we don't. But during the incredibly long period of European colonialism, all bets were off. People are just now starting to talk about the problematic nature of the era, which has resulted in both ethical lessons and seriously funny history memes. We've put a few here for your enjoyment, but you can catch more history-related humor here and here.

It's no secret that we love history memes, but we have to admit that ancient history sometimes doesn't get enough attention. And so we've curated this gallery of Ancient Greek-specific memes for those who want 'em. If you're someone who's more interested in generic history memes, eBaum's World has you covered!

Listen, we know that we are privileged when compared to the people of the past. Scientific advancement has allowed us to live longer and accomplish more than many could have ever imagined. But 2020 absolutely stinks. And we'd rather poke fun at history via memes than read about the horrible things that are happening in the present.
