Like are there people in the world who don’t know who Ariana Grande or The Weekend are?
Yes. And there’s also famous people you have never heard of.
Next
Of course
Like what else is there to say lol
I have no idea who “The Weekend” is.
Who the fuck is The Weekend?
I have no idea, but I do know it’s spelled The Weeknd, for some reason. That’s pretty much all I know, though.
for some reason
Search engines. Same reason behind “Linkin Park”.
Or he could have just picked a more distinctive name.
Same reason it’s called “Blu-Ray” and not “Blue-Ray”. It’s much harder to trademark a normal word.
But it also has the effect that I tend to read it as ‘the weakened’.
He had wanted to call himself the Weekend, but there was already a rock band in Ontario called that, so he dropped a letter.
The Weekend are?
Like Saturday and Sunday?
I have heard of The Weekend. I have no idea who they are, what they’re famous for, what they look like, if they’re a person or a group, or anything about them. I also legitimately have no idea if you’re meant to pronounce the ‘e’ in Grande, people have told me, I just don’t care enough to remember.
Famous where? I bet you don’t know famous people that are only famous in their country.
Edit: tell me who Lola Flores, Camarón de la Isla or Robe Iniesta are.
Enrique Inglesiás?
The son of Julio. What?
Ariana Grande or The Weekend
Uhhh… the first one’s a pop singer I’ve still never heard a single song by, and the 2nd one’s how we spend our SAT & SUN’s?
Heh, am I close?
Just use your first answer for both of them, and you’ve nailed it!
Lol… that’s too much. Pretty soon we’ll be able to construct ordinary sentences out of nothing but pop stars & rappers names, I guess.
Sounds fun! Whoever builds the longest sentence out of stage names wins!
I’ve found seven such words / phrases so far, which might be knit together in to: Future Common Logic-- Why Prince’s Fun Weekend?
Oh well, it’s a start.
Who?
What?
At some point in your life, you didn’t know who any famous people were.
Like totally
Yes. We just have different priorities.
I’m sure my parents don’t know who either of them are.
I know Ariana Grande and The Weekend are singers.
But if you printed out 9 pictures of a vaguely hispanic woman singer, and 1 picture of her, I would have a 1 in 10 chance I point her out.
Same thing with The Weekend.
And I’m sure you could name 20 names, 10 of them famous people, 10 are random names from the phone book. I would have zero confidence in knowing rather than guessing, who the famous people are.
This comment is outrageously funny to me. Because Ariana grande is not Hispanic in the slightest. Like, she’s so white she would stand out in the middle of a group of even vaguely Hispanic women like a sore thumb. But it just adds to the comedy.
How is her last name so Spanish then?
Bro, Grande is a word in like 4 different languages, but it’s a last name only in one, Italian.
Thanks for the explanation
It’s pretty much the entire concept behind a Funny or Die show with Tig Notaro
