* [[{{ChickMagnet}} Chick Magnet]]/[[{{EvenTheGuysWantHim}} Even the Guys Want Him]]: How Rob and Jamie explain the seeming DisproportionateRetribution of Majorian getting kicked out of the army and exiled as a result of his potential engagement to the previous emperor's daughter falling through:
-->'''Rob:''' Maybe Majorian's just incredibly good looking. Maybe he's like PrinceCharming levels of good looking.
-->'''Jamie:''' Slightly flowing blond hair... Blue eyes...
-->'''Rob:''' Square chin. People have to shade their eyes when he smiles. The only way Placidia[[note]]said daughter of the emperor[[/note]] isn't going to want to marry him, thinks [[EvilChancellor Atius]], gotta get him out of the way.
-->'''Jamie:''' His beautiful baritone voice... Glistening chest... Phwoar, Majorian. I'm liking this episode.
** After this, Majorian's sheer sexual appeal becomes a RunningGag throughout the rest of the episode, as well as every time he comes up subsequently.

Julianus purchased the Imperial title from the Praetorian Guard, who had just murdered his predecessor, and spent his short reign panicking as the general Septimius Severus marched on the capital to take it off his hands. Several [[ZanyScheme Zany Schemes]] (including, but not limited to attempting to train circus elephants to fight and hiring magicians to curse Severus) utterly failed, and Julianus was killed only two months into his reign. Even the staid Dio breaks the fourth wall in ''the source material'' to note that the senators were all laughing at him.
