Took a second longer than necessary, then I groaned.
I didn't get it until I read your comment 🤦♂️
Cade to enlighten me? I'm still lost.
Hailstorm, sir.
Hail, emax_gomax
Ah, I'm a moron. Cheers
Me too, thanks.
I had more of a "Waka, Waka" response
This time for Africa!
Somehow Caesar misheard "grando" as "ave", since they're of course speaking Latin and not English.
If you look closely it turns out they're not real Romans at all, just drawings!
I thought they seemed sketchy.
Ce ne sont pas des Romains.
Romanes eunt domus
People called Romanes they go the house?
I think he tried using a dictionary or translation tool, and failed to consider that "eunt" is the indicative form of "eō"/"īre" (to go) and not the imperative form. So he's stating that Romans go home (with extraordinarily poor grammar, mind you), when he probably means to tell Romans to go home ("Romani ite domum!")
Edit: Apparently this is a Life of Brian reference. I am a fool
It's like in American shows, they just speak English with a foreign accent (potentially unrelated to the location).
It's reasonable to assume that the characters are speaking their native language and it's being translated for our benefit, but it becomes weird when they use idioms or puns in English that don't exist in those languages.

Ave, true to Caesar.
Oh hail no.
He's not wearing purple though.
Only for ceremonies. Purple costs a snail snot ton of money.
Not Caesar though.
He was wearing it all the time before he was assassinated as the senate had allowed him to do so. This was after the 5th triumph when they dumped a lot of other titles on him. The picture has the laurels in it, which is also typically just for ceremonies, so he should also be in a purple toga.
I've thought about the roman empire once today so far.
Punctuation is everything. Didn't get it at first...
I'm getting strong "Who's on First?" vibes from that comic.
Is this a new thing that people include a CC anti AI license in their posts and comments? Would be pretty cool if it could be integrated in a smoother way as like a post property.
Yes, it's the new "I do not consent to Facebook using my data".
Not too be confused with copyleft and wtfpl.
