Vintage Humor Is Equal Parts Sarcasm and Fun

My friends often say that I was born in the wrong decade because I’m infatuated with everything retro. While I’m not a child of the 40s, 50s, or even the 60s, I love the era because it seems like life was simpler and less stressful. Vintage humor is the perfect marriage of retro images along with snarky, sarcastic commentary that is sure to make you laugh.

We scoured the web and curated some of the best vintage pics and memes you will ever find. I hope you enjoy the following retro images with some clever sarcastic humor that will tickle your funny bone. If you enjoy them, don’t forget to share it on social media!
