they are actors from the Wire but their characters never had scenes together and would not have gotten along. imagining them as their characters stretches the purview of the topic somewhat but it made me happy so there it is.

I have no who the other two are... But at this point I've given up hope people would actually include the names with the pics.

You know, if you don't recognize them by sight anyway, what's it gonna matter if you know their names or not?
Like you're going to be, "Oh, it's WAYNE COYNE. HILARIOUS."

The same with me, I don't every celebrity by the face but I might recognize the name. I know about Flaming Lips but I didn't know what their singer looks like.

nb: i wouldn't have recognised either of them w/o a caption! james dean doesn't look that much like himself in those pictures. and i know more about eartha kitt from reading about her and listening to her, so i don't really have any visual cues for her. it's kind of annoying that people are making a big principle out of not captioning the photos.

If all the names were there for everyone to see, how would certain people do their faux-naïf trolling? Half the fun would be gone.

If you recognize the faces of every celebrity, good for you, but not being able to do so is not "faux-naïf trolling".

I'm sorry that not everyone recognized KEITH RICHARDS, THE LEAD GUITARIST AND CO-SONGWRITER FROM THE MOST FAMOUS ROCK AND ROLL BAND OF THE PAST FIFTY YEARS.
The other white guy is Jim Belushi, star of the hit 80s sitcom, "Everybody Loves Raymond".

I know who Keith Richards and Jim Belushi are, but I didn't recognize them in that pic. Which is exactly why I asked people to mention the names, because now I get why the photo is unexpected.
