Milinoket Cabbl (series)

Milinoket Cabbl is an animated YouTube series created by YouTuber Triple C TWC. Revolving around a father-son duo running a small cable television business, the series takes place in the series' equivalent of the real-life town of Millinocket, Maine. While it has a defined plot, it also serves to parody various aspects of small-town life and society.

History
Dad and Son, the main characters of the show, first appeared in a short segment in Triple C TWC's "WeatherStar XL Overview Video" on March 19, 2016. The segment was a comedy segment meant to explain why a port on the back of the computer being overviewed was severely bent out of shape. As it was a computer found in a cable company setting in Millinocket, Maine, the two characters were designed as lone operators of a cable company attempting and failing to remove it from its equipment rack. The company, Milinoket Cabbl, was designed as a very loose parody of Millinocket's actual cable provider, Bee Line Cable.

After the release of the video, many viewers asked for a continuation of the segment, which was released as episode 2, "Workers Needed," on April 9, 2016. The rest of the originally-released episodes were put together between then and July 6, 2017, ending with the release of episode 6, "Dad, Private Eye." After that point, the series went into a long hiatus, falling to the wayside in favor of the channel's main content.

On June 17, 2019, a remake of Milinoket Cabbl was announced on the creator's Twitter page, with a promotional image that showcased a new, more three-dimensionally focused art style. Further updates had since been given on social media that pointed to blinking characters, lip syncing, and scenery updates. Furthermore, updates had since been made to this wiki showcasing changes to characters, locations, and more that were expected to be coming in the series remake. In December 2020, these newer updates to the series style officially debuted for the Triple C TWC 12 Nights of Christmas event, with short Christmas-themed Cabbl clips showing prior to each video. The reworked series is expected to begin production near the end of 2020.

Misspelling
A characteristic of the early episodes that has stuck around since is the series' trademark misspelling of certain words. An example is the series' title, Milinoket Cabbl, which itself is a misspelling of "Millinocket Cable." The misspelling, which began to be reduced in later episode releases, is a holdover from the series' early inspiration from popular Internet culture of the time. The varying mix of properly-spelled and misspelled words in the series, a form of broken Maine-accent English, has been referred to as Cabblese, which is the de facto language spoken in the series.

The main characters of the show are Justin (Dad) and Son, who are a father-son duo who are the only workers at Milinoket's only cable television provider, Milinoket Cabbl Compeni. Dad and Son are a very close duo who, despite their faults, go out of their way to help each other. When it comes to other people, they live alone, due to the mysterious disappearance of their other immediate family members in 1999. However, their refrigerator has become a community in and of itself, being a home to various talking foods, including the scheming duo of Lobstah the Tomato and Barry the Cucumber, who Dad tries to get to pay rent.
