WTF DOES THIS MEAN!
boys + diamonds = little john
diamonds are a girls best friends (diamonds + girls = best friend)
a boy and a girl make a couple (boy + girl = couple)
diamonds, a boy and a girl make a marriage
I don’t think you put much effort into understanding this one.
ya.
Really? Girls, Diamonds, and Boys are all related by Marriage. Girls are related to diamonds, because they are a “girls best friend.” Boys are related to diamonds by Lil’ John, or any other rapper that likes “bling.” And boys and girls are related to by being a couple.
Not gonna bother explaining, they already did. But, you should go on failblog.org Like, this comment.
YEE-AAA!
OKAY!!
WHAT??
that is what lil jon likes to say. a lot.
vballerin, I believe he also likes to say “WHAT??”
baaaaaahahahahahaha
^win myu!
Girl + Diamonds = Best friend.
Boy + Diamonds = Lil John
Boy + Girl = Couple
Best friend + Lil John + Couple = Marriage?
What? No. Best friend, Lil’ John, and Couple aren’t even in all of the circles. Do you not understand how a Venn Diagram works?
YES to lil john. genius.
wow…way too much thinking
wow… way too much idiocy
I thought it was pretty clear (and clever). Good use of Venn diagram, which I’ve noticed most people on this site have a limited grasp on.
I whole-heartedly agree!!
I like how life is comprised of: boy, girl, diamonds. Just those three and nothing else.
Genius!
Not sure why people are having trouble grasping the concept…..but then, I have always been partial to Venn diagrams.
I think that the Lil’ John throws some people off. I always think of “Little John” from Robin Hood.
Ah, yes. Need a new Venn diagram. Two entirely separate circles, with nothing in common. My awareness of Lil John, and Lil John’s awareness of me.
I like how only one other person (Jason) has seen the tragic flaw that they include boy, girl, diamond, best friend, couple, AND Lil John into marriage. FTL.
Your understanding of Venn diagrams = Fail.
Lil’ John is in the section comprising boys as well as diamonds, but not girls.
WHOEVER MADE THIS IS A GENIUS
Best friend + couple + Lil Jon = Marriage?
I want to be at THOSE weddings
No, no, no. Couple, Lil John, and Best Friends are not included in Marriage. If they were they would be in the center of the graph with the word Marriage. Couple is only in the part where Boy and Girl overlap, just as Lil John is only where Boy and Diamonds overlap and Best Friends is only where Girl and Diamonds overlap. This is why Venn Diagrams are so misused on this site, no one seems to understand them!
No, you aren’t understanding them, nor are some other people. Jason is right. Lil John, whoever that is (but i get the boy + diamond reference) is the almond-shaped piece where boy and diamond overlap, INCLUDING the middle piece where marriage is. Marriage is the overlap of the three almond shapes, or Lil John, best friend, and couple.
Think of the Venn diagram with colors instead. Boy is blue, girl is red, diamonds are yellow. Lil John is therefore green, or blue AND yellow. Couple is purple, and best friend is orange. Marriage is black, or blue AND red AND yellow, or green AND purple AND orange. If marriage (black) excluded Lil John (green), it wouldn’t be black. it would be some other color.
Get it now?
Usually when people are that condescending, they make sure they are correct first.
The diagram is ambiguous enough that it could just be the intersection of Boy, Diamond and ‘not Girl’ that is labelled Lil’ John. Give the creator the benefit of the doubt.
Get it right.
This is a great joke, but the analysis of Venn Diagrams is killing the joke.
“Marriage is the overlap of the three almond shapes, or Lil John, best friend, and couple.” – Joolz.
Sorry, Joolz The areas of the Venn diagram are differentiated by the overlaps of the ORIGINAL SETS ONLY (Boy, Girl, Diamond).
Lil’ John is not the name of a set, but an object in intersection of the sets Boy and Diamond, so cannot be not included in the intersection of Boy, Girl and Diamond.
Check out Copi and Cohen for a great introduction to logic.
“Best friend + couple + Lil Jon = Marriage?
I want to be at THOSE weddings” – Amphetamine
Imagine the Best Man’s speech.
“WHOEVER MADE THIS IS A GENIUS” – salvo
Seconded.
“This is a great joke, but the analysis of Venn Diagrams is killing the joke.”
I agree. The people on this site are almost worse than those on Pundit Kitchen.
No it does NOT include the middle piece because if it did there would be no reason to have a section that is just Boy and Diamonds. The whole point of the Venn Diagram is a categorizing tool. I repeat that if Lil John were Boy, Diamonds, and Girl he’d be in the middle with marriage. Only the three overlapping circles are named, Marriage is simply an item that is classified as being present when Boy, Girl and Diamonds overlap. Just as Lil John is an item that is present when Boy and Diamonds overlap, hence it’s placement outside the middle section.
You’re right! I get it now. I didn’t mean to sound condescending, so I apologize if you thought I was.
By the way, thanks for not openly weeping for the future. I think some other posters are taking it a little hard.
Don’t worry, I sounded a bit condescending myself (even if I was right)
It needs something different than lil john where boy relates to diamond that can also be a part of marriage – like empty bank account – or something like that…
people need to know how to read venn diagrams.
SRSLY.
Seconded.
I’m an English/Reading teacher for high schoolers and even I had problems with this one. There’s just a lot going on. Then again, I, unlike most you here, had problems with graphic organizers in school; however, I do plan on printing this one and making my students figure it out next year. It’s a great way to introduce teens to Venn diagrams.
UK teaching fails, but it’s better than where you are, I was doing Venn diagrams at about… oh, i dunno, 10?
I for one understand it.
Boy+Girl+Diamond = marriage
How hard is that. Tom and Jane seem to know what is going on.
Anywhoo, i had no idea who the hell Lil John was, i like chienduciel Thought of Robin Hood.
Boy + Diamon = Boy George would have been better in my book.
Thanks
I think you can substitute rappers in general for that part and it would still make sense, although Boy George is a funny alternative! Lil John is just funny by himself (WHAT!?)
Maybe is would be better if the MARRIAGE was replaced with ONE KICK ASS WEDDING RECEPTION.
I’d wouldn’t mind if Lil John was the MC at my reception.
The amount of people who don’t understand Venn diagrams is disheartening. I thought this was extremely straightforward.
Same here.
As a high-school teacher(13 years) I am depressed that so many don’t understand Venn diagrams. This is a VERY straightforward and clever one. I am doubly depressed by the English teacher. There is not a lot going on, just addition!
I loved it. Just loved it.
One of the best graphs I’ve seen! Finally, someone who can use a Venn diagram and make it funny!
see Jessica Hagy’s site if you like this.

I had no problem understanding the Venn diagram. My difficulty with this one came from the fact that I had no idea who lil john was. Most of the charts on this site aren’t about “pop culture,” but something so specific that you either know it or you don’t.
Li’l John isn’t terribly specific. If anyone’s seen Dave Chappelle (spelling?) in the past few years, then you know it. Also, he was ALL over everyone’s remixes for a while. Granted, I am only 25, so he’s part of my pop culture demographic.
P.S. I feel bad for anyone who hasn’t seen Dave Chappelle. You’re missing a SERIOUS amount of funny. He did an awesome interview on that Bravo show… with the fat guy… Lipton is his name, maybe…. shoot, darn music in the background keeping me from remembering! *shakes fist*
Are you talking about Inside the Actor’s Studio?
The problem is that a lot of people in the world don’t know who Lil’ John is (aside from a Robin Hood character). Yes, he may be known in America, but we’ve hardly heard of him in Australia (and I imagine that his lack of global reknown is more widespread than that, too).
Amusing graph, but it fails with the Lil’ John reference. “Rapper” might have been a better, more easily recognised result.
serious understanding venn fail. if something is both a boy and a girl, it’s not a couple, it’s a hermaphrodite.
