The 'Mark Zuckerberg's Home Haircut' meme surfaced in early 2020 when the Meta CEO shared a photo on Facebook of his wife, Priscilla Chan, cutting his hair during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns. While meant to be a relatable domestic moment, the internet quickly latched onto the stark, short bangs and Zuckerberg's stoic expression. Many users compared the look to a Roman Emperor's bowl cut or pointed out his supposedly robotic nature trying to emulate ordinary human activities. The template is widely used to mock DIY failures, 'expectation vs. reality' scenarios, or to joke about Zuckerberg’s eccentric public persona and his well-known fascination with Augustus Caesar.
