[edit] I Am Not Your Broom
JOHN LINNELL: Now, Broom, you must now sweep for me, the dust that fills my room.
PUPPET HOMESTAR RUNNER: No, John, I will not sweep for you, for I am not your broom.
JOHN LINNELL: What nonsense are you speaking, Broom? My words you must obey!
PUPPET HOMESTAR RUNNER: Another life awaits me and I'm leaving you today! I am not your broom! I am not your broom! I've had enough, I'm casting off these chains of servitude! I am not your broom! I am not your broom! No longer will I sweep for you, for I am not your broom!
JOHN FLANSBURGH: Now— now hold on there, Homestar. I'm confused. You— you said a word I didn't know. I've never heard this word before— servitude. What does that— servitude mean? You've gotta—
PUPPET HOMESTAR RUNNER: Servitude?
JOHN LINNELL: Yeah.
PUPPET HOMESTAR RUNNER: That's what you get when you go to the drive through window and there's a teenage kid working there. Get y'all out some servitude!
JOHN LINNELL: Okay.
PUPPET HOMESTAR RUNNER: It's like "Get some Oxy Clean, kid!"
JOHN LINNELL: Thanks for coming.
{John begins to play the chorus to I am not your Broom.}
PUPPET HOMESTAR RUNNER: A-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish...swish-swish-swish-swish-swish.
