What is the “I love you too, YouTube” joke?
I Love Social Media And YouTube
A1 English listening practice · English · Picked for people who know a little
This little song says the names of apps: TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, Netflix, Facebook. Then comes the joke: “I love you. I love you too. YouTube!” It works because “YouTube” sounds almost the same as “you, too.” So “I love you too” turns into the word YouTube. It is a simple, sweet English joke with sounds.
Many English app names are just two small words put together: You + Tube, Face + Book, Snap + Chat. When you see these names, you can often find two little words that you already know.
