Team USA Fencing Memes

So there's a lot of World Cups this weekend...

Seen in South Bend, Budapest, Rio, etc.

My Assistant Editor swears that these two fellows look like long-lost cousins. Thoughts? Comments? Nasty Noises?

Seen in South Bend.

Team USA Fencing Memes 10th Anniversary Holiday Bonus!

Here's some of my favorite Holiday Memes from over the years.

Whatever you may celebrate, Team USA Fencing Memes wishes you a Happy Holiday Season!

1. This is actually the original meme with this caption.

2. This one needed a little more tweaking than usual, but I think it worked.

3. The quote is actually from the short-lived Muppets TV show of the 2010s.

4. This one wrote itself. Classic.

5. Lee and Gerek's Foil Tree!

6. This one was fun. I still think Yury would make a good Santa.

7. It still hurts that I never got to meet Buckie. But I'm sure he's so proud of what USA Women's Foil has accomplished.

8. Happy New Year! See you in 2026!

Team USA Fencing Memes 10th Anniversary Celebration continues with Risible Referee's!

1. Alex Gioiella is a longtime meme fan, and Biscuit is adorable, so I figured it was time they had a meme of their own.

2. Despite providing magnificent meme material, still will not let me tag him. Maybe it's a Board of Directors thing.

3. Not sure who this fellow is, but he definitely stands out in a crowd.

Since today is the official 10th Anniversary, I have a little surprise saved for later. Stay tuned!

Team USA Fencing Memes 10th Anniversary Celebration continues with Funny Foil Coaches!

1. I think this was at a World Cup in Bonn. Traditionally, USA Men's Foil celebrates victories in Boon at Burger King, because it's the only place open that late.

2. This was taken at a Cairo World Cup, but I posted the meme at the Cairo World Championships later that season.

3. I need to meme Dan Kellner more often....

4. Pan-American Zonals in Lima 2024. First time I've seen any coach with the hood on.

5. A good coach defends his athletes like a good lawyer defends his clients.

6. Note the score. But it's still wholesome.

7. It's not often that you run into somebody who not just provides great meme material, but also loves being memed. A person like that can lift a memer up. So the memer should definitely lift that person up.

The actual 10th Anniversary is tomorrow! Stay tuned!

Team USA Fencing Memes 10th Anniversary Celebration continues with Funny Foilists!

1. Lee is always fun to meme. And she's the one who named me the "Meme Queen ", so it's win-win.

2. One of the biggest revelations lately has been the rise of Bryce Louie. Not only is he an excellent fencer, but he's an equally talented content creator. If you're a Fencing fan and you're not following his IG feed ( .louie ), I have to ask - why the hell not?

3. The USA Women's Foil Team are trendsetters on and off the piste.

4. Speaking of fashion...

5. For some reason, my Assistant Editor doesn't quite "get" this one.

6. From the Paris Olympic photo shoot. To be fair, I would not be surprised if he dropped a mixtape at some point.

7. These two pics were right next to each other at a training camp before Worlds in (I think) Leipzig. Some memes just write themselves.

The celebration continues tomorrow with Funny Foil Coaches! Stay tuned!

Team USA Fencing Memes 10th Anniversary Celebration continues with Silly Sabre Coaches!

1. New York's most prestigious Sabre club becomes New York's most prestigious entertainers. Who knew?

2. The man. The myth. The Morehouse.

3. It wasn't enough for Cyrus of Chaos to just be King of Fencing Media. No, he had to transition into coaching and make a name for himself there, too.

4. Coach Achiko is definitely earning his place amongst the greats.

5. Speaking of greats, Maestro Arkady is definitely up there. (I think this pic was from an online conference, but I posted it for the Super Bowl.)

6. Does anybody else miss The Yury and Zoran Show? The shenanigans those two used to get up to were legendary.

7. Aleks Ochoki at 2023 Worlds. The way he's been going, I think he'll be needing quite a lot of spinach going forward...

The celebration continues tomorrow with Funny Foilists! Stay tuned!

Team USA Fencing Memes 10th Anniversary Celebration continues with Silly Sabreuers and Sabreuses!

1. Don't you think this bouncing thing has gotten out of hand?

2. They look more bored than intimidated.

3. One ref (pretty sure it was ) said she would actually respect that question if a fencer asked it. Good to see that.

4. A December NAC Final. Hey, Daryl got a chuckle out of it!

5. Maia went full Targaryen for the Paris Olympics.

6. One of my coworkers actually came up with this caption. And it fits beautifully.

7. Give the Veterans their due! (Say, didn't this fella just win Vet Worlds?)

The celebration continues tomorrow with Silly Sabre Coaches. Stay tuned!
