I don't think that's how venn diagrams are supposed to work.

    Can you point out where the problem is?

    This actually is a Venn diagram, which already puts it above so many similar things used both on-line and off-line. It's not just an Euler diagram masquerading as a Venn diagram.

    This doesn't seem to be even close to a venn diagram to me. Most obviously, having the same element ("HO") 3 times in different places is incompatible with venn diagrams as it violates fundamental assumptions of set theory. If I'm not mistaken, in this case an euler diagram would also look the same as a venn diagram (if we change the labels to correctly be "yo ho", "yo ho ho" and "ho ho ho" rather than the individual words arranged for comedic effect)

    It's still an amusing image though and I really don't see why it matters.

    Nobody said this was a venn diagram.
