51 Funny History Tweets That Are A Lot More Interesting Than Your AP Euro Class

Everyone remembers the childhood moment when they learned something about history and got extremely nerdy about it — whether it was Ancient Greece or… Let’s be real, it was usually Ancient Greece. But unless you grew up and became a professional nerd (i.e., a historian), you don’t have the opportunity to think about the olden times as much as you’d like. 

Thankfully, we’re older, wiser and now have the internet, which means we can escape the monotony of our jobs and post about what Henry VIII would’ve been like in couples therapy, or tweet “Abe Lincoln might’ve sounded like Steve-O.” 

On that note, from Ron Swanson embodying historical bad guys to Sir Isaac Newton discovering gravity with a face-full of spaghetti, here are the 51 funniest tweets about history…
