I guess if I have to explain the joke, I have no one to blame but myself. <sigh>
The redhead in armor is Chappell Roan at this year’s VMAs, and the blonde is Sabrina Carpenter from a performance on SNL. The original photo in the post was making fun of noticing the superficial resemblance of a shot from Buffy the Vampire Slayer to those two looks.
Damn it’s weird being old enough to have been a fan of Buffy, but still knowing and liking new pop music.
Okay, this pretty much helps, but now I don’t know what a VMA or an SNL is.
I’m going to go with “Viking Marauder Awards”, a yearly event where people re-enact the sacking of the Lindesfarne Monastery etc, via the medium of song and dance (and pyrotechnics).
and “Sitting Near Larry”, a weekly TV programme where a bloke called Larry sits down somewhere, and then semi-famous people come and sit near him and perform things. Larry has never heard of any of them, so gives them well-meaning but slightly patronising advice. Larry is just off-screen in the image shown above.
Thanks. That helps. I still have no idea who those Chapel and Sabrina are, but I now know they are supposed singers and that this is about they being similar.
I guess people that don’t know Buffy at least could identify one of them as the one in How I Met your Mother or from American Pie movies and the other having a cameo appearence in Big Bang Theory.
I agree you are in a weird position knowing something so old and something so new at the same time 😅
For those confused:
While grateful for the explanation, I find myself no less confused.

If “Sitting Near Larry” was a genuine and honest show, I’d watch the hell out of it.
Someone needs to make you incharge of a TV network
Nailed it! <fist bump>
I think the problem is taking two separate photos from two different events on different days and thinking people would put them together.
I bet you could find all sorts of separate photos of musicians from different events where one has armor and another has a red cape.
I understood SNL

Explanation is the death of comedy.
If explaining a joke makes it not funny, it was never funny in the first place. It was either just referential or based on shock value.
Same. No idea what any of the images are aboot.
