This week was a fun one back when we were in school. Pi day always meant doing something fun with pie. Either making pie, classmates would bring in pie, or sometimes a benevolent math teacher (There's a reason I remember you, Ms. Buono) would do the work herself and bring in several pies for us to enjoy. The following day, in history class, things would get a little more morbid for the Ides of March. While we preferred eating free food, especially when it was loaded with sugar, talking about th…

Many people say that history repeats itself. While that seems to be true (often for some of the more horrible events in history), we do think many things can change. One thing that won't? Us rounding up galleries of history memes, where the humorous and the historical collide. In this batch of history-related humor, we cover a range of historical periods, from medieval times all the way up to the modern era. And for those who are particularly interested in war history, we've got a ton of memes…

Fooled ya!

Happy IWD!

We've got some good news for history buffs who also happen to appreciate the finer things in life. You know, things of culture. And if you're a man of culture you'll know we're talking about anime and history memes. Thanks to the r/HistoryAnimemes subreddit, there's a wealth of history meme/ anime meme mashups at our disposal. You know, the best of both worlds. Some of the memes are a bit depressing, others are slightly less doomy. But we're just glad that there's finally a way we can enjoy the…

I'm a Goofy Goober , yeah! You're a Goofy Goober, yeah! We're all Goofy Goobers, yeah! Goofy goofy, goober goober, yeah! If you've never wanted to go to the Nut Bar from The Spongebob Squarepants Movie and get yourself one of those sundaes with faces, I don't get you. That iconic 2004 movie was the perfect case study for why being a goofy goober is better than being a Squidward. Goofy gooberism was the force that allowed Spongebob and Patrick to ultimately defeat Plankton and his mind-controlli…

Time travel media often portrays every choice you make as intrinsically connected to how your future life will go down. Every day, you make a million little choices, and if you don't make one in a particular way, your future self is irrevocably changed. I feel like this is true for very few minor choices you could make, like the first time you hang out with your future best friend or the time you decide not to jaywalk and save yourself from becoming the victim of vehicular manslaughter. I doubt…

Robin Hood was a pretty cool guy. He stole from the rich and gave to the poor, and he had a fraternity of merry men following him all the time. This man had a network of support that I find enviable. He is also skilled at archery, making him a well-rounded hot athlete. What can't this man do? I admit that the only Robin Hood movie I've ever seen is Robin Hood: Men in Tights . I never watched the Disney version for one reason and one reason only: I know the Mel Brooks adaptation is superior. I w…

Congratulations, internet user. Somehow, through sheer motivation, or perhaps, more realistically, resignation, you have made it to the end of the week. How does it feel? If it doesn't feel like something that should be congratulated, then you're right with us. We didn't consent to being born, and we certainly didn't consent to an existence that makes us feel like we've accomplished some grand task. Life shouldn't feel like an endless cycle of suffering with tiny breaks in between, and if we ar…

I was not a cool kid. Up until high school, my experiences with friendship generally started with convenience and were maintained by mutual interests. But because I was not cool, these interests were a bit unorthodox. I was obsessed with reading ultra-bleak history tomes, as well as even bleaker fiction. Much of my choices surrounded World War II , and in particular, the Holocaust. I had learned at a young age that my grandfather's family was all but exterminated in their home in Ukraine, for t…

There are plenty of memes bouncing around the Internet that leave a person with zero questions. You know, painfully relatable work memes , anything hyper-topical or catering to a specific niche, parenting memes. We get it: Work sucks, bosses also suck, parenting leads to serious lack of sleep, we all know the deal. When the basicness of these memes (and cat memes, and dog memes) gets to be dull, or we actually want to stimulate our withering brains, we turn to history memes. While we're not his…

We here at Memebase may not play favorites, per se, but there are certain memes we like more than others. Incredibly dumb, literal memes are probably at the top of that list. But there are other memes that delight us nearly as much, and history memes and anime memes are both pretty close in line. Our years of surfing the internet have made us privy to the happy news that there's an entire subreddit dedicated to memes that use anime stills to humorously riff on historical events both funny and d…

Have you ever stopped to consider the sheer number of tweets, memes, and shitposts that are being exchanged on the world wide web? The number of memes floating around at any given time must be ccmpletely staggering. Just think: thousands, if not millions, of image macros are being sent between friends, and maybe even enemies, any given moment, making their way to the screens of world-weary web surfers such as yourselves. The variety of memes that are sashaying around the web is just as wide. Bu…

A lot can happen in a year. While 2022 may feel like a delirious fever dream, the year had its fair share of momentous events and groundbreaking achievements. Back in May, scientists managed to snag the very first photo of a black hole - a feat that we're pretty sure people will be talking about for eons to come. Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and the global response to the invasion, definitely snag a top ten spot where notable 2022 events are concerned. Protests in Iran, Elon Musk's acquisition…

Ah, the dark, dreary and joyless days of winter. Here on the East Coast, the cold (and accompanied deep, deep depression ) render us into mopey blobs with little to no energy or motivation. Big old blobs that are incapable of making good on their promises to finally cook some food for themselves instead of ordering expensive takeout. Blobs that can barely find the strength to lift the remote control to change the channel. Blobs that can hardly find the ambition to seek actual joy through hobbie…
