Laughter is the best medicine, and sometimes that laughter comes from the crazy and wonderful world that is the internet. These fencing memes are hilarious and a couple of them hit us right in the emotions, but all of them resonate with us because they are so incredibly personal.
One of the joys of meme culture is that you can find variations on a meme in so many different shapes and sizes. Old memes come back around after hiding on the internet for a while, and new memes bring us new joy when we least expect them to pop into our feed. We get to see references to our favorite pop culture icons and make sense of fencing through our use of memes that originally didn’t have anything at all to do with our sport.
This post competes in its seriousness with our previous post on fencing emojis, but hey, can’t we allow ourselves to be a bit silly from time to time? Enjoy this collection, and if you found a new fencing meme, please point to it in the comments – it would be fun to browse them as a pastime during long fencing tournaments!
