Dad Thinks About Rome Daily

A child asks his dad how old the Roman Empire would be if it still existed, while grainy footage shows an adult standing in a kitchen and moving around distractedly. The joke is that the child’s innocent question confirms the viral stereotype that men think about the Roman Empire every day; the deadpan domestic footage and child’s voice make the sudden historical obsession absurd.

Daddy, how old is the Roman Empire, though, still around? How old would it be if it were still around? Yeah. Maybe about two... The Roman Empire, too? Why? How often do you think about the Roman Empire, Ollie? Every day.
