Behind the punchlines

Crusader memes and armored confidence

A helmet hides much of a face, so the pose and caption have to work harder. A challenge or an exaggerated declaration can give a still image the attitude of someone prepared to make a minor problem everyone's concern.

The collection includes jokes about an expensive suit and requests to show yourself. Those captions use the visible costume as a starting point. They don't tell you who wore an object or when an image was made.

Historical imagery, modern punchlines

The medieval image collection offers a broader range of period-looking jokes. If the equipment is your main interest, the trebuchet archive gives one machine considerably more attention. Treat the captions as comic inventions and check a museum or historical source before using an image as evidence about the past.

A little context

This collection preserves memes from the original archive. Captions are jokes and opinions, and references may reflect past events. Original watermarks are preserved. New submissions are reviewed before joining the collection.
