      I don’t think it’s making fun of anything in particular. This guy’s whole deal is coming up with fake features for apps that would be incredibly annoying.

        Ooh I see. I actually thought I’d prefer this over ads so I was mildly confused. Thank you for explaining :)

      I wonder if it’s based on the trope where guys would start asking stupid gatekeeping questions when they saw girls wearing popular band t-shirts; e.g. “Oh you like Guns-an-Roses? Name five of their albums.”

      ~I’m guessing.~

        “Oh you like Guns-an-Roses? Name five of their albums.”

        Did they make five famous albums? Appetite for destruction and… ?

        (EDIT : Chinese democracy doesn’t count)

          😂 I actually never thought of it. Um…

          1. Appetite for Destruction
          2. Use Your Illusion I
          3. Use Your Illusion II
          4. The Spaghetti Incident (my personal fave)
          5. Lies

          Whew! 😅

            I guess they made five non Chinese democracy albums, I dunno if the last 2 are famous though.
