Line 53 ⟶ 54:
** In "iEnrage Gibby", Carly even has a "hobo party" where everyone dresses up a hobo!
*** And the endless hobo gags have been so overused by [[Dan Schneider]] by this point that one troper is beginning to think it's used only because he thinks the word sounds funny.

* "King of the Road" by [[Roger Miller]] describes (in the first person) an early-20th century hobo who travels from city to city on overnight freight trains:

''Destination Bangor, Maine''
''Old, worn out suit and shoes''
''I don't pay no union dues''
''I smoke old stogies I have found''
''Short, but not too big around''
''I'm a man of means by no means''
''King of the road''}}
