The American language may be similar to those who speak English but to go further is to step into a foreign culture. Perhaps if some canned laughter was added it would lead viewers to think it was funny

This is bugging me - the reflection of the sign is completely wrong which wouldn’t be funny if it was correct but spoils the joke (for me) because it isn’t.

Yes, I agree, I think it is a rather lame way to explain the origin of Thomas’ joke name.
I wonder if we’re over-thinking some of this, rather than just enjoying it for the intent.

I think that is the case. It was intended as poking fun at AI but I guess I was trying to be too subtle (or crude?). I still expected some pedant to point out that the “Transport” font used was not available in Dylan’s time.
Were any of us alive in Dylan’s time? 
Yes. for the first 7 years of my life and the last 7 of his.
