It’s not easy leading a phalanx. The sandals are uncomfortable, the tunics itch. Oh, and if you’re at the front of the charge, you’re definitely going to end up as collateral damage.
Fortunately, if you’re Rhys Darby (Murray from Fight of the Conchords), when you get banged up at least it’s very, very funny. Full video below:

Geez, I never realised Gizmodo was so dark!
Interesting concept, too bad the prop department sucked... the weird silly outfits from the 300 movie and him dressed as a low rent Roman Centurion, all pretending to be Greeks.
Eh. Much better to just as dress as Romans like people have been doing on comedy since the 50s. It;'s much easier to get the costumes and the crazy organisation stuff fits waaaaay better.
if I ever get motivated enough to go overthrow the government I have a strong feeling it will go almost exactly like that.
