I’ve played Thimbleweed Park many times now and although I’ve tried different names, most of the time when asked by Ricki Lee, I suggest “YouTube.” This is the name I gave the store on my very first play-through and I still think it’s the funniest. Now, whenever I refer to Ricki’s Cakes store I typically just call it _YouTube_. How about you? ---

I called it YouTube as well, not knowing it would stick, and frankly later on hated myself for having done that. It just took me out of the game´s enviroment, curiously more so than anything else that happens even later in the game(maybe because you´ll just read it a lot passing by). ---

It just took me out of the game´s enviroment, curiously more so than anything else that happens even later in the game(maybe because you´ll just read it a lot passing by). I thought that was the best part of that joke, that it remained on the windows. 😆 That took me by surprise, but made me laugh every time I passed by the store. Hehehe. dZ. ---

I called it “YouTube” and to me it’s the funnier option. In 1987 I would probably have chosen a different name. ---

Ah well, I guess it´s okay considering there also was a [facebook in 1987](https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CHWnldWW4MI/Vr-oGx1p1iI/AAAAAAAAHdA/pP7pPgZb30M/s1600/evil-dead-2-dead-by-dawn-1-1.jpg)… ---

It’s basically the same joke as the glassblower and his U Tubes from Tales of Monkey Island! ---

I picked at random, not knowing it would stick, and frankly later on hated myself for having done that. ---

> [@jrial](#): > > Am I the only one who picked a sensible name, like TubeTown? no, I also picked TubeTown the first time . I think I saw Youtube on one of the spoilerish screenshots before, so I knew it was gonna end up on the store. But I also imagined I could go back and say: “Actually, I thought of a better name” and that you could change the store name over and over again, with ever more options to choose from or different things depending on the player character… (:reyes: would suggest lame stuff like TubeTastic, Tubelicious, Ricki’s Tubes, While :ray: does the sarcastic thing: Ye Big Old Lights, Transistor Museum,… and :ransome: would suggest things like Tubes ‘n’ Boobs, Throw-a-Rock Shack,…) ah, well maybe next time ---
