In 2022, we can all agree that memes run the world; it’s the perfect form of communication combined with humor. And there’s something about taking classical art and making it relatable to the modern-day that hits us on so many levels. It’s not as if any of the classic masters could know where, how, and what we’d be doing today, but that didn’t stop the Reddit community, Tripping Through Time (and the subreddit Classical Art Memes) from somehow making it all so relevant and relatable. Take a trip through time with us and have a few laughs along the way! These memes are sure to put a smile on your face; if not have you laughing out loud. You might even learn a thing or two about classic art and modern-day (and where they meet). So without further adieu, here are some relatable art memes!

The Battle

If you own a cat, this meme might be the most relatable on the list. Cats are notorious for being difficult with their meds (“difficult” is an understatement), and it seems like Hercules had the same problem… many, many times. Those tiny terrors definitely think they’re lions. All jokes aside, these statues depict the Nemean Lion being slain by the mighty Hercules.

Mythology states that mortals couldn’t kill the lion due to its golden fur that was impenetrable by weapons. Of course, it also had claws sharp enough to shred any armor because mythical beasts gotta strike true terror in the masses. Thankfully, Hercules is a Demi-god, so he had it covered.

Rapid Turn Of Events

Under the murky glow of blacklight, detectives scour for clandestine hints in their quest for justice.

Yet, the plot thickens when a sharp-eyed female sleuth stumbles upon a twist that’s anything but ordinary, eliciting gasps from her male colleagues. Brace for a whimsical crime caper where forensic savvy meets flirtatious banter—a true criminal affair with a romantic twist!.

We all know life can get a bit weird and hand us the utterly unexpected on a regular basis. So, it comes as no surprise that people are constantly wondering what on earth will happen next when everything seems to be smooth sailing. Thankfully, Jimmy Fallon loves collecting weird and funny stories, and his #RealLifePlotTwist hashtag brought more than a few gems to the Twitter realm. Let’s take a look at the top stories Twitter users shared for the Real-Life Plot Twist challenge. If you have a plot twist story of your own, feel free to share it in the comments!

#1: Setting a Good Example

I’m not sure what the rules are, but I would assume that hysterical laughter in the middle of a driving test might be grounds to fail someone. I’m not sure if Jessica kept it together or not, but I am sure I wouldn’t have been able to stop laughing. Her dad is probably the one who taught her to drive.

As parents, we drill that six-second stop into our kid’s heads as much as possible, but it’s always a case of doing as I say, not as I do. If my kids truly paid attention to how I drove and tried to copy me, they’d never pass the test. I need to do better! I think we all need to do better on the road.

English isn’t easy. Grammar rules are made and broken, pronunciations vary widely throughout the states, and some native speakers talk so fast that there’s no hope of figuring out what they’ve said. Even worse, the human brain doesn’t always process language as well as we’d hope, resulting in some rather embarrassing answers to questions we are asked that make zero sense. It’s happened to me, and I know it’s happened to you because it’s all a part of life. Thankfully, one Twitter user shared her story of a funny misunderstanding and started a cascade of amusing and embarrassing responses in the best way. Enjoy!

#1: Talking About the Weather

What an ominous answer. You know, these types of comments are often made flippantly but turn out to be true. Even though they were talking about two different things, the universe may have been playing a little joke and giving a little hint. I hope Quinn checked up on the guy and made sure he survived his birthday.

Who knows, maybe it turned out to be 81 degrees on his 81st birthday! That would be neat—also, Happy Birthday to this man! Hitting your 80s in this decade can’t be what he expected. He’s seen a lot. He’s older than Tupperware and the microwave oven. That’s impressive.

I have a lot of rules I live my life by: don’t lend money you can’t afford to lose. Don’t eat grocery store sushi. And most of all, don’t learn about celebrities you like: don’t look up their Wikipedia page, don’t follow the news about them, and definitely don’t ever meet them. Because there is an alarmingly high chance that you will find out something about them that disappoints you and shatters your image of them. I’m not the only one who’s learned this lesson the hard way. We’ve gathered posts online of people talking about celebrities they used to admire and the things that made them change their minds. So if you’re ready for the possibility of being disappointed by someone you used to admire, read on!

Elon Musk – Part 1

Here’s a polarizing figure to start out with. There is a segment of the population in whom Elon Musk inspires breathless awe and admiration. These people will always flock to his defense, citing how rich (true) and brilliant (debatable) he is. For a lot of the rest of us, it’s hard to understand the appeal.

While he might have had a reputation for innovation and forward-thinking, his recent obsession with the letter X has raised eyebrows. From naming various products with an X to even changing Twitter’s logo to an X, it’s clear that he is fixated on this trend. Yet, he seems to embrace the X brand even if it goes against popular opinion.

There is nothing quite as confronting as having to deal with a loved one’s will and testament when they depart… And let’s be honest, whilst the passing of someone is hard to come to terms with, having to deal with rude relatives and harsh lawyers is no walk in the park. From insensitive suggestions to wild propositions, we have collected the most shocking and confusing will and testament stories from across the web. Pretty much, here lies a list of what not to do when you are writing your will and testament…

#1: Playing Favorites

For many people, the idea of saying goodbye to a parent is a horrible and unfathomable thing to try and comprehend. But whilst some people have a good and stable relationship with their parents, that isn’t the case for everyone. But even estranged family members need to be mentioned in the will…

We’re not sure what happened between these family members, but the fact that these parents left everything to their daughter and only $1 to their son is pretty brutal. Clearly, something pretty serious happened in this family dynamic, but these parents knew what they were doing by leaving their son such little money…

We’ve all watched enough courtroom dramas to know just how meticulous lawyers and judges are about their arguments and decisions. Below, we have dozens of stories from lawyers who really wish their clients had either learned how to phrase things a bit better or never hired them in the first place. A few even outline some sneaky defenses that just seem wrong! We get it. There’s a lot of pressure riding on the defendant when they’re in those four walls. They’ve been charged with a crime, serious consequences will be handed out, and they’ve spent a lot of time overthinking what to say and how to act. Unfortunately, some people just don’t get the memo, and others get away with crazy stuff! Without further ado, let’s take a look at what these lawyers have to say in their defense.

#1: *Sigh*

There’s no doubt that hunting can cause ear damage, but there’s no way that it would cause more than jet engines. While decibels vary depending on the caliber, it’s an average of about 155 decibels. That’s three times louder than a lawn mower. For another example, an iPhone will warn you if you’ve listened to music on it for over FIVE hours at 80 decibels.

Let’s keep in mind that recreational hunting probably involves between one to ten shots a day, and they’re very brief. The sound lasts less than two seconds. Now, working near jet engines would be an entire eight to twelve hours shift worth of noise at 120-140 decibels. So, rifles are louder, but the damage they cause is nothing compared to unceasant jet engines. Case closed!

Photoshop is an incredibly crafty tool. People use it to remove blemishes, highlight certain features, and make some of the most amazing designs and logos imaginable. However, some people use their photoshop skills for the good of mankind, or at least that’s what we assume when they offer free photo touch-ups. However, as you might already know, not everyone who lends a helping hand is actually trying to help. Here are amusing cases where photoshop master James Fridman used his skills to troll others.

Horsing Around

If you’re not familiar with James Fridman, then you need some catching up to do. James is an expert photoshop users who offers free photo editing services. You can contact him through his Instagram or Twitter, or you can send him an email. However, only submit photos you don’t mind sharing with the public.

If you’re wondering why, there’s a reason. James, though an expert at his craft, doesn’t take requests seriously, but he can take your requests literally! Here, the sister isn’t holding up her middle finger anymore. Instead, she’s flipping the camera the bird with her middle toe.

Despite thinking we know everything about our favorite stars, there are so many secrets and intriguing facts we are only recently learning about. While privacy is a strange concept to most stars, many celebrities tried their best to keep some things away from public knowledge. However, thanks to the internet, very few of them managed to succeed in that. So buckle up and prepare to learn some truly impressive facts about your favorite celebrities – though we can’t guarantee you will ever look at them the same. 

1. King Charles and Princess Diana

On their wedding day, Charles supposedly dropped the bombshell confession to Diana that he didn’t love her, a devastating revelation that cast a shadow over what should have been a joyous occasion. Diana, despite her doubts, was bound by the weight of tradition, duty, and public expectation, making the thought of not attending the ceremony an impossible option.

The world watched as she walked down the aisle, masking her inner turmoil. It was a poignant reminder of the complexities and pressures that can accompany royal unions. Diana’s strength and composure in the face of such heartbreak were a testament to her resilience, and her story remains a poignant chapter in the history of British royalty, reflecting the profound personal sacrifices often required by those thrust into the spotlight.

Have you ever thought about what celebrities were like before they were famous? Whilst some are more or less born into the spotlight, many others made active choices and worked incredibly hard to get where they are today. Sure, these people might be world-famous celebrities now, but once upon a time, they were just regular high schoolers like the rest of us. Considering how some of these celebrities act and the things they stand for, aren’t you just a little bit curious to find out what they’re like now? No need to stress; we have collected different people’s experiences with these celebrities during their school years before all the fame…

#1: Prince

Even though it seems like all celebrities love being in the spotlight and are the coolest people ever, it isn’t necessarily true for all of them. At the end of the day, many actors, singers, and artists are, deep down, just a weird, lonely theatre kids that weren’t always understood in high school.

Why does it come at absolutely no surprise that musical genius and artist Prince was a shy kid in school? Someone with that much talent isn’t always going to get along with the cool kids, and it crowds… And it isn’t until many years later that they realize that being different is a very special thing, not something to be embarrassed by.
