history memes

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

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.

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. Like, damn, at least we don't burn people at the stake for being witches anymore!

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.

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!

This gallery has a little bit of everything when it comes to history. We've got your medieval history, WWII history, Revolutionary War history, ancient history, etc. 

We just hope you can learn a thing or two from these memes, unlike your 10th grade history class where the teacher just talked about his divorce for an hour straight every day...

You don't need to feel guilty for perusing these history memes. They're basically like going to school or watching a public television show about our ancestors. Go ahead. They're educational. 

This gallery is for those who are fascinated by both medieval history and dumb classical art memes! We're fans of the artwork created during that time, but that doesn't mean it isn't completely and utterly WTF. And of course, if you want even more weird classical art memes, check out eBaum's World!

We talk about this sh*t a lot, but life is hard. It often feels like we're living in Woman In Dunes, toiling away in futility, constantly trying to dig ourselves out of the wake of a sandstorm, only to be buried again, and again. The Sisyphean nature of our daily struggles is tragic. That's why we deserve the momentary solace of scrolling through stupid memes.

If we're just going by the artwork created, the middle ages were a f*cking strange time, but we're kind of a fan given how many great memes have resulted from it. 

These memes contain a solid mix of bizarre art, interesting history tidbits and of course, trebuchets - because memes about Medieval times wouldn't be complete without those.

These memes are the perfect combination of culture from days of yore and what some may consider our distinct lack of culture. Whatever your opinion of  memes, these artsy tidbits hit just the right relatable spot for us. If you're looking for something a little more dank and fact-based, you can always check our our history memes here and here. 

One of the latest meme trends to pop up on Reddit has taken the form of a "time traveler conversation," in which a shadowy figure comes from the future and drops some serious future wisdom on an unsuspecting character - generally to very positive reception. The meme has been meshing well with Area 51 memes, as well as old classics like Shrek and Keanu Reeves. Here are some of our favorite examples of the perception-bending formats.

We all have moments where if we give into our demons we'll completely crack. Sometimes you need to avoid reality. Fake it 'til you make it. Put on a happy face. These amusing memes should help you do just that. 

Thesefunny memes, comics, and tweets have no real purpose other than pure time wastage. The satisfaction they provide is as fleeting as our lives, dust in the wind, soon to be returned to the ether. But that shouldn't stop you from scrolling through them as you avoid your true responsibilities. 

You could say that these memes are full of...red flags. Ba-dum-tss. You think that pun is lame? Well So-vi-et.

But seriously though, is anyone else here a huge nerd for the Cold War era like we are? Whether you're a capitalist or a communist, it's safe to say that we can all come together to laugh over these hilarious memes!

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!
