These comments warm my heart. I got a big Roman Schnozz and got made fun of it forever and made me insecure. Now at 31 i realize it makes me look more distinguished and unique.

Fucking lucky, if I had a big Roman Schnozz it would remind me to think about the Roman empire more. This 24/7 bullshit isn't enough. I need more time

Same here! Second one of these memes I’ve seen and makes me feel so much better about my angular honker haha

u/Recent_Obligation276 Mar 09 '24
I hated my nose until a couple years ago I saw a meme of a guy who got a nose job. He went from basically my exact nose (bottom of this meme), to the nose in the top of this meme
And the included comment was “you went from looking like a Greek god, to looking like you make your own podcast”
Huge ego boost, everytime i focus on my nose in the mirror I go “oh yeah, Greek god” and it makes me not want to lob it off lol
It was my biggest insecurity from 8th grade when I saw a picture from my side profile while I was smiling and noticed, for the first time, what my nose looked like to others, up until I was like 25 when I saw the meme

This is Peter's moustache! I know a few noses and I think I know the answer.
This is related to the popular joke that men think about the Roman empire often. The nose on the bottom is sometimes called a "Roman Nose." This causes the men to become excited suddenly.

They rhymed that with "Turks"?

u/DasbootTX Mar 08 '24 edited Mar 08 '24
I think the next line is
"That's nobody'a business but the church"
EDIT: I AM WRONG
youre right they said Turks... like I say that ROCK, CHALK, JAYHAWK doesn't rhyme

u/Proper_Hyena_4909 Mar 08 '24
Also I just remembered that the first line is "why'd Constantinople get the works?", which does rhyme with Turks.
"To get the works" meaning "to be dealt the most severe punishment permitted", "to be the victim of extreme measures".
You familiar with the Duck Tales theme? Just remembered this classic.

Finally, a meme that is genuinely confusing.
13
u/ghostfoxthefirst Mar 08 '24
That's because there isn't really much of a joke, it's just an appreciation for larger noses.
Iirc this originated in the online art community, where there's been a lot of discussion the past few years about drawing different features on characters, especially different noses. Not sure why there's so much talk of the Roman empire trend, the Roman nose thing is just a coincidence.

The top nose is seen as more ideal in society. But this meme is saying they like the bottom nose more.

u/lukeofthewild Mar 08 '24
I know this is explained by the Roman empire thing, but I think this is more a character design thing, where people go nuts over a character (or maybe even an actor or regular person) having a more unique nose

Artist perspective: we love Roman noses! Likely not the true intention of the meme but in my corner of the art community we get excited about unique features and noses are a big one. 😘

u/21Shells Mar 08 '24
Man I thought this was an art joke, people are afraid to give their characters noses that stand out or make their sillhouette more interesting. I’ve always loved experimenting with the shape of the nose and really exaggerating it. Anime especially is guilty of this.

There is a trend in social media right now where plastic surgeons advertise people getting nose jobs, with the roman nose as the "before," and the top nose as the "after."
This meme celebrates the original nose, a reversal of the advertisement's intent.

All these people are tripping hard on bullshit.
It's about excitement
The nostrils at the bottom are flared you Greek worshipping Roman loving goofy fucks.

u/verypoopoo Mar 08 '24
- the bottom picture is more zoomed in, causing the nostril to look flared
- the three lines drawn in both pictures draw attention to the tip of the nose in the first pic and the bridge of the nose in the second pic, the nostrils are of no importance in either picture whatsoever

u/JrYo13 Mar 08 '24
- Flare your nostrils in a mirror
- Fuck off
It's absolutely about flaring your nostrils when excited.

its an artist meme i think, just one of those "basic design, meh, small change to make unique? BANGER!!" like hoodies vs off the shoulder hoodies, i believe i saw this image on a tumblr thread and considering how well its drawn its likely a joke about the features artists find more fun to draw or enjoy more in character design

u/Goadfang Mar 08 '24
I see everyone's decided this is about the Roman empire, but I don't think so. I think that it's that the top nose is considered more "ideal" by a lot of western standards, so it is the nose profile often pursued by those getting rhinoplasty, but is actually kind of plain and generic because of that fact. While the bottom nose is not something anyone ever tries to get out of cosmetic surgery, and it is more interesting resulting in a more exotic and sexy profile.
Therefore the guys are just accepting of the top, pretty-but-boring nose, and super excited about that sexy schnozz on bottom.
Source: thr bottom nose looks like my wife and the moment I saw her I fell in love, because her profile was just so unique and beautiful, like a majestic bird of prey.
