The wierdest thing a non-U2 fan have said to you about U2.

[DiscoJokeX]

What's the wierdest thing you've heard a non-U2 fan say about U2?

 

[Ultraviolet Light]

I have genius friends...

"So, like, what did Bono do after U2?"
Me: Whaddya mean after?
Her: Like...after U2 was done, what did he do?
Me: ...done with WHAT?
Her: Y'know, done. I thought I saw him in a movie or something.
Me:

Turns out she was talking about the American Stuck video (I don't know HOW that suddenly turned into a movie...).

 

[Bonochick]

When I told a non-U2 fan I was going to see U2 on the Popmart Tour...

"U2...aren't they those one hit wonders who did the Batman song?"

 

[Liesje]

LiesandDad: *listen to Rattle and Hum in car*
Dad: so uh........do they like......do any drugs?
Lies: uh...........................

LiesandCousinGrace: *watching the VH1 Hot Couples*
Tv: ......Bono and Ali.......
Grace: so, is she like "Mrs. Bono" then?
Lies: uh, no, she's Ali
Grace: that's dumb, if MY hubby was a mega-rock star, I'd flaunt it for all it's worth!

 

[FallingStar]

My mum: "Hey, Booboo and UZwei are on the radio!"
Me: "Bono-U2-These are the Backstreet Boys!!!!"

^^^^I swear, that happens *everytime*.

 

[Stories for Boys]

*pictures of bono sitting on the seat across from us on the train*

lady who worked on the train: is that your boyfriend?
us: yes...

*later, talking about u2*

lady: you know there's this great website that you guys can go to...it's called deadrockstars.com
us: HE'S DEAD??!?!?!?! uh....ok....

 

[wertsie]

This happened to me a couple years ago...

Friend: Jen, what's the difference between Bono and Sonny Bono?
Me: Um...They're not the same person!

 

[RickFly]

ok here we go: i was in the car with my uncle and cousins a few years ago, and i put a u2 cd on. they think that the only music in the world is country.

Uncle: is this that band u2?
RickFly: yes it is.
Uncle: they dont sell as many tickets or cd's as any country people do. they dont have any hit songs either like clint black of diamond rio.

RickFly: are you on crack?

that comment really pissed me off. you know in the booklet for the elevation boston dvd when the author says something to the effect of getting in a fight over your favorite band. that is deffinintly true i wanted to pull the car over and ask him to walk.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

My mum: "Hey, Booboo and UZwei are on the radio!"

that's hilarious!
at first i thought that was uzi, until i looked closer and realized she was saying zwei!!

 

[*BOOMCHAA!*]

*pictures of bono sitting on the seat across from us on the train*

lady who worked on the train: is that your boyfriend?
us: yes...

:

Good work
BWAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAH

 

[flaming june]

When I started getting into U2, my father was worried because he thought I was listening to heavy metal again... Poor dad, he can't tell one type of music from the other. He really thinks that they're some sort of bad influence, although I have tried to explain to him what they're about, he just doesn't get it.

My boss says Mono instead of Bono just to piss me off.

 

[flaming june]

When I told a non-U2 fan I was going to see U2 on the Popmart Tour...

"U2...aren't they those one hit wonders who did the Batman song?"

That's priceless!

Also, a lot of people seem to think they disappeared after the 80's.

 

[Bono's shades]

One of my co-workers recently asked my about what kind of music I liked and I told her my favorite band is U2. She asked, "Who are they?" And it's not like she's 65 years old either. She's only about 50, and she looks and acts way younger. Strangely enough I've got another co-worker about her age and she is aware of who U2 are. She even told me once that she thinks Bono is hot.

 

[Kristie]

Laura: I'm so glad that lady on the train didn't recognize us last time

FJ: Chris Tucker called him Mono once at the DATA thing...

mine is... I was watching Oprah with Bono, this girl Anastasia walks in...
Anastasia: Look! It's Sonny!

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

Friend: So what music do you like.
Me: Oh, U2.
Friend: Isn't that a clothing store??

To clear this up...http://www.u2.com.sg. It is a ****ing clothing store.

Whoa...Now THAT is bizarre!

 

[senrab]

"Is there a U3 and U4, too?"

- my dad.

 

[typhoon]

Yeah, the numeral gets made fun of a lot.

 

[JimmyChicken]

Local radio announcer after playing Electrical Storm for the first time:
"That sounds like every other U2 song"

Blur fan (jealous that Blur haven't accomplished as much as U2):
"U2 are massified. You always know what's going to be on their next album."

Various people whom was asked what was U2's last single whilst researching if U2 was in danger of becoming over exposed:
"U2's last single? Wasn't that Elevation?"

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Girl I was on a first date with, after I turn up radio when With or Without You comes on... "Who's this?" It was also the last date.

October 31,2000... Same girl, stalking me through instant messages a year later
Her: What's new?
Me: NM... just checking out the new U2 cd that came out today.
Her: Wait, they're still around? I thought they broke up in the 80s.

"They're trying to help people's lives. What the hell has Bono ever done for people?"
-My mom, huge Oprah fan, after getting pissed that I, huge U2 fan, called Dr. Phil a schmuck. A few months later Bono was on Oprah. The next day mom had the foot surgicaly removed from her mouth.

College basketball teammate... "Eminem iss way more succesful than U2's ever been, and has tons more fans. Jay-Z too. Did you see the shit he's got in his house on Cribs? And all those cars? Come on."

To this, I directed him to the following...
You're right... they've got sooo many more fans...

And man that condo sure was impressive...

And man... the topper has to be that vehicle collection Jay-Z has. U2 could never top something like that...

Local radio announcer after playing Electrical Storm for the first time:

Yeah, sounds just like ISHFWILF and Discotheque, which are in turn SO similar to each other.

 

[JimmyChicken]

Yeah, sounds just like ISHFWILF and Discotheque, which are in turn SO similar to each other.

I used these examples.

Like Two Shots Of Happy, One Shot Of Sad - Mofo - Van Diemens Land - A Celebration - Wild Honey

 

[EPandAmerica]

I knew someone that thought Vox was Bono's last name!

During the Popmart tour, had on the t-shirt with Bono in the front and Edge on the back, and a guy at a gas station pointed to the front and asked "Is that your boyfriend?" !!!

 

[U2girl]

Watching an interview with Bono and Edge, and I explain to Mum they're from U2.

She goes: "So there's two guys in U2?"
Me: "Um, no - there's four of them. They are the singer and the guitar player."
Mum: "So I guess the other two just play the instruments?"
Me

I would've said, "Yeah!!!"

 

[bearded morrison]

My desktop picture is U2 in the desert sitting on a fence Joshua Tree era. A co-worker comes in and asks: "Is that a family picture?" I replied "If that was my family I would be spending a lot more time with them."

 

[U2girl]

Another one, again with Mum after I told her the singer's name:
"Well, what kind of a name is Bono anyway?"

I also told her that guitarist's name is "the Edge" and what it means in Slovene.

"Weird names", she said.

 

[EmilyBono]

One time at the dinner table I was talking about U2 with my dad. He said, "What's the guitarist's name? Sledge or something?"

 

[Liesje]

LOL my friend is Indian and her parents got her T-shirts there last time they visited.

 

[teehee]

Friend's friend comes to my room:

Me *points to poster*: Bono IS hot, isn't he?
Friend: Who? That? That is Bono?
Me: Didn't you know him?
Friend: No, I thought he was just in your imagination like an invisible boyfriend or something.
