A friend posted the image above (minus the attribution), and I found it so funny, I just had to find out where it came from. I followed the breadcrumbs to the genius Twitter account of Medieval Reactions. You probably saw their most-often-shared image, the “Watch me (Whip/Nae Nae)” joke below.
Medieval Reactions reminds me a bit of the Tumblr I wrote about in January, Ugly Renaissance Babies, but MR’s humor is broader, and its voice is distinctly young and British. There are the predictable 20-something obsessions with drinking and clubbing and sex, and way too many “Netflix and chill” references, but there are enough really, profoundly funny captions to make it worth a visit.
Hope you laugh as much as I did!

Appealing. Some of these reactions are way past medieval, 18th century even, but they have a certain something.

The paintings, too, aren’t all period-accurate, but they sure are clever!

I laughed my way through Ugly Renaissance Babies and I really laughed looking at these. In fact, I laughed so loudly that I startled my sleeping cat. The captions are perfect but actually just focusing on some of the details, like the weird facial expressions, made me laugh even before I read the captions. I am going to have to show this to my husband.

They’re really good. I agree that they’re even better than URB!
