In the ''Monkey Island'' games, Stan was a salesman who showed up throughout the series making wild sales pitches to the games main character, Guybrush Threepwood. For example, in ''The Secret of Monkey Island'', he pitches a number of used ships that Guybrush could use for his travels. His wild arm movements parodize salespeople's tendency to act with eccentricity on television to sell their product. | In the ''Monkey Island'' games, Stan was a salesman who showed up throughout the series making wild sales pitches to the games main character, Guybrush Threepwood.

| Original YTMND: Stan Sells EVERYTHING To Guybrush (Monkey Island) |
| Worthy spinoffs: |
Stan is a fad that plays off Stan, from the Monkey Island series, and his wild arm movements. It is usually accompanied by the song "Hardware Store" by "Weird Al" Yankovic. Stan Sells EVERYTHING To Guybrush was created by Torico on May 31st, 2006 and is the original Stan YTMND. Other parodies usually include someone saying a long string of words at high speed, for example, Tom Lehrer's "New Math", but with the same image.
In the Monkey Island games, Stan was a salesman who showed up throughout the series making wild sales pitches to the games main character, Guybrush Threepwood. For example, in The Secret of Monkey Island, he pitches a number of used ships that Guybrush could use for his travels.
