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
Google images of “oasis band members.”
Got some photos. Still unsure and don’t know why the word mirage is used.
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.
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.
Holy shit they’re doing a reunion tour.

If there isn’t already an Oasis cover band called Mirage, there should be
It’s not like they’re going to be the ones to save them.
Definitely…maybe?
I’m tellin’ all y’all…
What? Is it a sabotage?
Anyway … here’s Wonderwall.
Blur > those sods
You need to get your head checked (by a jumbo jet)
Tony Blur? The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1997 to 2007??
There just douchebags who made 2 ok songs 30 years ago. I hate Oasis, I deelly regret buying the casette tape when I was 15. Dont get me started.
One of the Gallagher brothers should be flipping that ol’ reverse peace-and-love sign.
People believed they were gonna live forever, but they died from a champagne supernova in the sky as the alcohol dehydrated them even more.
Should we be upset at this turn of events? No. Don’t look back in anger.
Well, maybe he’s right.
Definitely Maybe
Afterall…
You’re my wonderwall
Bonus panel: There’s a third guy, he sees The Line (the planned city that’s basically just a wall through the Arabian desert) just over the horizon, he stops, looks back at Oasis and shouts “hey, play Wonderwall!” and starts crawling towards salvation. (Which never comes, because it’s all a mirage).
It’s not a mirage. They’re reuniting.
They’re not fighting, definitely a mirage.
