Run For Your Life!

In an advertisement for Amazon's Alexa service, a man finds himself in Pompeii during the horrific explosion of Mount Vesuvius. He doesn't seem too worried though, simply asking standing around calmly with a piece of toast and flagging one of the fleeing citizens asking "Excuse me? Excuse me? Excuse me? What year is it?" "It's 79 A.D.!" the man shouts at him, then continues in Italian, before switching back in Italian to shout "Run for your life!" The man thanks him, and as he ducks out of the chaos, his tablet informs us that "Pompeii was destroyed in 79 AD." Back in his comfortable modern day home, the man reports this information to his daughter, claiming to have "just remembered" it.

How well does it match the trope?
