You gotta love any meme that features Mr. Rogers, and this trending dank meme is one of our favorites at the moment that's all about trying your best despite being bad at something. In the words of Yoda, "Do or do not, there is no try."

Instead of going to a boring museum or reading a tedious textbook in your art history class, suggest to your teacher that you review some of these classical art memes instead. Will they help you actually learn about art history? Probably not, but they are funny and relatable, so what's the harm in that?

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!

This batch of classical art memes is a little more on the cynical side - just the way we like 'em! We've got your Jesus, Revolutionary War era, and of course weird-looking animals (did no one know what a cat looked like back then...?). We hope you enjoy them just as much as we do.

To all the creative types out there, we understand your struggle. It's not easy trying to consistently churn out artistic brilliance and still have a sane mind left to give. All of that, plus you constantly have people asking for free labor because what you do is "fun" and it's "for a friend." We all gotta pay the bills, dammit! Friends and "fun" be damned!

Classical art memes are...well a...classic if we're being honest. They'll never go out of style and we are a-okay with that because we thinking they're hysterical. They're particularly amusing when paired with adult or totally inflammatory jokes, and we've got lots of that in this gallery, so go ahead and enjoy!

Life's a b*tch and then you die. You think we have it all that great because we sit around writing about memes and other funny sh*t that happens on the internet? Well, it ain't that great. We have to do things like write fifty word descriptions about dumb memes that you'll all forget five minutes after scrolling through 'em. We do it all for you.

Do classical art memes ruin the magic and awe of historical artwork? Probably, but they're just so effing funny that we're not going to stop giving them to you. They seem to give us somewhat of a sense of the extremely WTF antics that were going on back in those days!

We think that anyone should be able to practice whatever religion they want, but we have to say that sometimes religiousrules go a little far. That was definitely the case at this fundamentalist Baptist college, where they censored the nudity out of classical paintings. The results are a giant fail, but also effing hilarious.

A lot of classical art pieces are pretty bizarre, which is why we make so many memes out of them. This particular painting, entitled "The Village Politicians," was completed by John L. Krimmel in 1819 and features an angry man with an oddly painted face pointing at his hand.

The Middle Ages, which lasted from the 5th to the 15th century, was no doubt a fascinating period of time for any history nerd out there. But perhaps one of the most fascinating parts of it was some of the extremely WTF-worthy art that came out of it. If you're not sure what we're talking about here, just scroll down to see!

Hallelujah! The weekend is upon us, a sweet, sweet respite from the hellish toiling of our 9-5 and otherwise-houred jobs. Dig into these relatable memes to remember what we're about to be free of/
