      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.

          In the desert being starved and dehydrated, it’s not uncommon to hallucinate things like water and trees. They are called “Mirages”
