The concept is "disappointed GF, Idiot BF."

This would be a funny pic regardless, but their facial expressions make it great.

Jesus fucking christ, Jerry, this shit again?

Ah yes, the famous couple of Caesar and Cleopatra.

Yes... I'm not sure if you were unaware or just restating the joke?

Julius Caesar and Cleopatra were a thing. He's the dude who had her delivered in a rolled up carpet.

Slightly incorrect, she snuck into his palace, she wasn't delivered.

Apparently it was actually a cloth sack but the plays and films prefer carpets so w/e

What you're missing is the fact that Julius had a lot of "things." He also thought Friday, Saturday, and Sunday were For the Boys.

As a couple Mark Antony and Cleopatra are probably a bit more famous, as it's far more dramatic (ending with their executions at the end of the civil war), they actually married, and it was by all repute actually a love match. Or at least a sincere affection match.

I don't think that's the joke, dude. Not the main joke, anyhow.

I guess "Antony" dressing doesn't have the same ring

If they had a kid he'd be dressed as a Little Caesar's pizza box.

As long as someone doesn't come dressed as Caesar August.

I would be too if I was with her

You really can't read faces, at all. I'm generally bad at it but that is very, very clearly not a "I'm happy" face.

Doesn't seem to be "their" idea.

[โ€“] Zachariah@lemmy.world 48 points 1 day ago

She just has resting Cleopatra face.

Reminds me of a scene in supertroopers

There was an expectation...
