Greetings, noble knights, fair maidens, ancient philosophers, and foolish jesters! In this week's edition of classical art funnies, we're catering to the fools. Though your jester hat might sit sloppily atop your head, you have it all together. Sometimes, we all try too hard to be nonchalant, powerful, and all-knowing beings in our personal lives or the workplace. What happened to having some classic fun? Non-stop efforts to get to the top of the food chain are so last year. This year, we're embracing all of our gaffes and little social hiccups. If we don't enjoy the absurdity that life has to offer, what is the point of living at all?

Yeah, living like Tolstoy would be cool. Lest we forget—chill philosophers didn't have phones to look at memes on. So, if you're trying to be mysterious and broodish, reconsider. Last year, we tried a bit too hard to feel like kings and queens of a moral high ground kingdom. This year, embrace the comedy that exists in everything—even the stuff that might get you a bit down. There's nothing funnier than silly paintings with self-deprecating humor on them, so we've rounded up 25 of the funniest classical art memes this week!

“Circling back” is one of the most dreaded sentences in human history, especially in the 21st century.
It's not so much how scary it sounds phonetically, but what the phrase truly means. We're sure you dear readers are familiar with this workplace lingo. As the holiday season approaches and we're all gearing up to have one-too-many drinks on Christmas Day (and New Year's Eve), the last thing anybody wants to hear is that their boss dropped a new bombshell project on them. So, the common phrase “That's a January problem,” becomes the new way to put off work until the. new year begins.
Unfortunately, this “circling back” catches up with everyone, and now we're all sat at our desks remembering the chestnuts roasting by the fire and the third glass of egg nog we probably shouldn't have sipped. Until December 1st, 2025, we're all left in a post-holiday limbo where everyone begins to circle back.
