Stan is a fad that plays off Stan, from The Secret of Monkey Island, and his wild arm movements. It is usually accompanied by the song "Hardware Store" by Weird Al. 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 old video game, Stan was a salesman who showed up throughout the series making wild sales pitches to the main character, Guybrush Threepwood. For example, in the first game, he pitches a number of 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.
