I’m afraid that I require an explanation.
There was a popular band back in the 90s named Oasis. They look like the two in the bottom. (You'll probably recognize them most for the song Wonderwall)
This joke is both a straightforward pun of their name being Oasis but also a little bit of a deeper cut because the two members of the band fucking hated each other the entire time so them being together has to be a mirage.
I've heard they're actually getting along again and will tour as Oasis next year or so...
Do you think they'll survive the whole tour?
No, but if they happen to do a show nearby I'd think about going... It'd be entertaining to watch them fight at the very least
Thanks!
Google images of "oasis band members."
Got some photos. Still unsure and don’t know why the word mirage is used.
A mirage is an optical illusion, very commonly seen in the desert, and often portrayed as a wonderful water oasis when a person is dehydrated and lost. Of course, the band Oasis isn't standing in the desert either, so it must be a mirage too.
In the desert being starved and dehydrated, it's not uncommon to hallucinate things like water and trees. They are called "Mirages"
Your explanation was helpful. I still don’t know how googling then was clue.
We thought you didn't know the band members, not the definition of mirage and oasis.
