The distinction between "you're" and "your" might not look like much to some, but confusing the two can deeply annoy those of us who value good grammar. While we do understand that learning a second language is a hard job, these comma usage mistakes or spelling errors happen even to the native speakers. That, in turn, can either make the recipient laugh or miss your message entirely. Following the rules of English grammar makes your texts clearer and more respectable.
Learning the difference between homophones like "horde" and "hoard" will also help you stay out of trouble with the grammar police. We suggest checking out this list of grammar jokes, so you know how to stay on their good side!

It's like saying: i saw my friends, bugs, and birds. I saw my friends, Bugs and Birds.
To match the pictures the first sentence should read. " I invited the strippers, jfk and stalin." The second sentence should be, "I invited the strippers: jfk and stalin." According to the pictures, the first sentence should read as follows. "I invited the strippers, jfk and stalin." The second sentence should read, "I invited the strippers: jfk and stalin."
This is WRONG. NEVER put a comma before an "and". At least in Spanish is like that
The second sentence seems to be introducing the strippers named jfk and Stalin
Common example: I'd like to thank my parents, Ayn Rand and God. Awkward... though I suppose the last makes sense?
Is this an "American" English? We invited the strippers - JFK and Stalin.
This one always has me baffled because I was taught to use: "We invited the strippers: JFK and Stalin ."

If you're talking about the 2nd picture, then you have a point.

Yes, there is. It is used in a three part list, when the Oxford comma is placed after the word before the 'and'.

Independent clauses. If they were complete sentences there wouldn't be a semi-colon joining them.

My locality has recently sprouted several signs that read "diversion for over weight vehicles". Damn it, 'overweight' is 1 word! I might have to go round with an indelible marker and add hyphens. That'd be an improvement.
