That’s like Benoit B Mandelbrot, where the B, of course, stands for Benoit B Mandelbrot…

Will Will Smith smith is obviously a question in sort of the same way that ‘Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo’ is a grammatically correct English sentence.
But what if Will Smith were made of metal or totally metal even, with a will of metal then you could ask
Will Metal Will Smith with his Metal Will smith Metal Will Smith.
on edit: removed extra Buffalo.
on second edit: I realized it could be Will Metal ‘Metal Will’ Will Smith smith Metal ‘Metal Will’ Will Smith.

Wait, shouldn’t that be Humbert Humbert Humbert Humbert Humbert Humbert? His middle name was Humbert.
I would say the same of you. At least Macaulay is being playful and you are being hurtful.

Good question, right? On the theory Mr. Culkin already had a middle name and replaced it with his first and last names, then Mr. Humbert would lose one Humbert and gain two Humberts.

Explain to this non native speaker how that works? I don’t think buffalo is a verb?

It’s an obscure verb meaning to confuse or intimidate. I don’t know if or when it was ever common, I have only encountered it in that sentence. Also, there are parsings that make literally any number of repetitions of the word buffalo grammatically correct as a sentence.
