Homestar Runner Poking People

From Homestar Runner Wiki

From the army DVD commentary:

MATT CHAPMAN: I think if Homestar had arms, visible arms, it would be a lot funnier all the time. Like, 'cause he could be poking people with 'em a lot.

Homestar Runner has a tendency to jab people with whatever he is holding, usually for emphasis.
