banana man

[noodles41]

because when eric eats a banana, he turns into a well-hench pedophile...apparently

[Tozzywozzy01]

In the Dandy now, he's a complete and utter dumbass and looks like an ape. Seriously, wtf happened?

[mjdsmum]

heck ya!!!! love it

[jasonwrirths1]

when eric eats a banna he becomes banna man but when my brother eats a banna he becomes desprate dan lol

[jasonwrirths1]

bannaman was the best in the old days better then dennis the meance and gnasher

[HotToastedBread]

You would never see a show like this today lol

[MrBuch169169]

I never even watched the show past this point, but even I developed a lifelong fondness for bananas, just in the vague hope that I would become a superhero.

[TeamEggInc93]

hands all the way up!

[TheJboy88]

As much as I loved this show as a kid I've always been apprehensive about telling people online about it.

They ask me:

"Why do we never see any British superheroes in media these days?"

And I am forced to unfortunately answer:

"THIS is why."

Great show regardless.

[EatMyWetJuicyTurd]

@TheJboy88 i used to love masturbating over banana man

[jhangirk]

@EatMyWetJuicyTurd IDIOT!

[MrKottycat]

THIS IS SO F***IN FUNNY XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[stufaman]

I'm in a wrestling company. And we couldn't resist having Bananaman wrestle a match.

[marstazzz]

I want that banana

[origamimice]

This cartoon got my brother addicted to Bananas as a child

[ihatemize]

When Eric Cantunu eats a banana he becomes... less hungry

[slentzz]

@ihatemize hahahahahahahahahaha lol. yh tunz

[matt9741399]

Aw, you missed the best bit off at the end!

[brandybuck1984]

It was an amazing era for kid's cartoons!

[pakreecekennedy]

all the cartoons now days are state of the art and

ultra modern...a banana man would'nt sell

unless it was a high tech banana suite...

or a digital 3D active scan..."like toy story"

[MOSTechnology]

I want Erics armchair

[Jario943]

Where does he leave all those bananas?

[ameliadcruz]

@Jario943 strewn.

[s34nVideos]

I like how a kid turns into a man and tries top get with women; oh yea, with a bit of saving the day on the side

[dcollins7901]

i so remember this

[Shazbut01]

This is about 100x funnier now I'm an adult

[pterobsven]

Hahaha, quality cartoon and remember it fondly. I love how the UK on the world map at the start is abnormally huge!

[watchingvids101]

@pterobsven It looks into proportion to me...

[Mechness]

@pterobsven The UK looks about right compared to Europe. I think it's just that the whole map is too large for the globe. The southern tip of Africa is at the South pole!

[Taud]

Oh wow you guys had weird heroes in the UK

[h00dman]

I don't think I've ever appreciated just how good the transformation animation is until now, wow!

[sjalstad]

Dude Banana Man was Epic

[uriel30]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!

I remember this piece of crap.

[1Dunky]

awesome man

[jimjamrocks]

God the Brits had weird Super heroes

[FFKonoko]

@jimjamrocks Bananaman wasn't a super hero, he was a parody of one. Kinda like The Tick.

[amr7037]

weres superted

[ASAMOAH24]

EPIC



[dhawk00]

wow! what show was this on!? i remember this from waaaaaay long ago on nickelodeon somewhere, pinwheel?

[nicolab751]

[harmonicazero]

Huh? Where did that banana skin go?!

[GeorgusLol]

omg i remember this !!

[BerrySwennen]

They have to use these cartoons again.

They are much beter then the crap they make now.

[Hattie1992]

I remember getting a free video of this when I joined the Dandy Club

[fizikal2008]

@Hattie1992 loool innit and that poster aswell

[ShnickysGal]

[TheTradge]

I never watched this, but it was a strip in the Dandy =]

[talkinggoats420]

[TheCaulfield1]

LOVED IT, LOVED IT, LOVED IT - I was a kid in the 70's, summer holidays, playing out and watching cartoons....that was was a kid was all about!!

[JellicleKat]

I don’t remember this at all but I know that it was shown on Nickelodeon back in the 80’s. Anyway, if anyone here is interested in a Classic (80’s) Nickelodeon Fan Meet in the fall of this year (2010) please email me on here and I’ll give you the link to the official website.

[fizikal2008]

@xliverbirdx is he a bodybuilder now? lool

[TonberryNeko]

What drugs were they taking?!

...

I want some.

[flabbyllama]

This is 29 Locacia Road., and this is Eric, the schoolboy who leads an amazing double life, for when Eric eats a banana an amazing transformation occurs.

ERIC IS BANANAMAN! Ever alert for the call to action!!

[ceasurz]

wha...what just happened? did i just trip some balls?

[obiy2k]

I'm actually wearing a Bananaman T Shirt right now!

[Rebetoric]

I'm a 90's kid - I remember Bananaman.

[frankiekl]

[Devik666]

I was born in 1980 cause i rember lol

[erik34350]

@Devik666 so your 30? perfectly?

[bensclayton]

The music starts off so brilliantly.

[zombedog2]

¡PUN ALERT!

[thehoff1982]

[chickenmobile]

My brothers name is eric, I'll be happy to give him bananas

[theworldvideos1]

I also watched this as well !!!

[mistofoles]

In the comic, Eric was bald originally!

[DrEyebrows]

LOL YES!

[amysamantha17]

hahaa my little brother always pretended to be him =)

[AkumaUchitoru]

I don't think I've ever seen this but I saw Banana in Pajamas. :)

[molly6971]

this cartoon p!ssed me off,i always asked my mom to get bananas from morrisons and hate loads but i never changed into anything...i had sweety puffs once(sugar puff copies) and they changed me into having the shits ...ERIC IF YOUR OUT THERE WILL YOU TELL ME WERE THE BANANAS WERE FROM ??

[PinballTV]

ok that cannot be good for his body transforming like that. :P

[yellowcougar18]

Is the comic still going? I never saw this TV show, but I remember the comic book fondly.

[mistofoles]

Nope, BANANAMAN was originally from "NUTTY" comic, long defunct.

[yellowcougar18]

Was he not carried on in dandy or beano?

[mistofoles]

Yes, I believe NUTTY merged with DANDY, the original comic is long dead,though. I don't know if Bananaman is still in DANDY comic.

[newdecade]

What happened to the people who spoke like that?? They don't exist any more!

[mac0072dude]

iim from the uk watched as a kid good memories eric twinge s his name this eric and eric lives an amazing double life for when eric eats a bannana he is bannana man

[ZTX]

And then, I eat the banana!!

[Imperialnews]

that banana must be made out of steroids

[asbalna]

I have been trying so hard to remember Eric's last name for some time now. After resisting all temptations to check, I have now searched the internet to reveal it is Twinge. (The suspense of trying to remember got to me in the end!).

ERIC TWINGE is BANANAMAN!

[mistofoles]

Nope, it was Eric Wimp!

[asbalna]

That's what I thought it was.

Just been told one's the CARTOON and one's the COMIC. It's different in each one apparantly!

[karamelicousone]

lol memories... hehe

[krusty1489]

i loved this show

[EphraimRodrigez]

banana man ????? whats next a "super teddy bear " ??

[Fredthebloop]

My both hands are up, I loved this as we as remembering it!

[eclectica1]

MY HAND IS UP!!!!!!!!!

Bananaman = most useless superhero ever. But still fun to watch!!!!!!!!!!

[wilkyx]

hate to be the bearer of bad news but bananaman was killed....king kong ate him

[rostine1980]

banana man & mighty mouse was da shizzle

[Surukuku]

He's superhero costume has chiquita-logos colours...

[satyricon65]

WTF?

[Vaultboy101]

It's a British cartoon from the 80's. Bananaman has the muscles of twenty men, and the brains of twenty mussels. Danger Mouse was always my favourite though.

[taffelblondy]

WTF:S USA haw strange programme:S :P

[evildonkey]

taffelblondy - Just because it's in English doesn't mean it's American, it's British!

[muslimsarah]

omg the memories

[gadgetgirl23]

*¬_¬!yay...bannana man!!! sooo funny :D

[MackerelCat]

ahahaha this was SO funny

[cosmicincognito]

me,mee,meee! =:) Who's signing a petition for a rerun of the 80's cartoons = Best cartoons EVER?!! :P

[idontsignin]

[silky123luvi]

@cosmicincognito im almost 9 and what the heck is popye

[strawberrychewbar]

@cosmicincognito

I'd sign that petition for sure

[chickenpoopenis]

*puts hands up woo*

[youcrarz]

eric? bannana? is there some kind of subliminal message here? makes you wonder.

[doctorwhofan]

i remember this

[simon71590]

Classic. Love watching all the old great cartoons. Thanks for the posting

[Hotpussy333]

Wicked*****

[fraserkatie]

Time Brooke Taylor is the voice you hear on the title sequence!

[Ravoranger]

This was a great Cartoon,

I think Remaining character count:

[jippii619]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOL

I rember this

[JapsEye2]

Eric is all grown up now. I wonder what he does for a living. Obviously the superhero thing is redundant, I mean, where was Bananaman on 7/7? I reckon he works the Soho club scene gobbling a different kind of banana. Thoughts.....

[LUNAPOLICE]

bananaman and eric are clearly seperate entities so I don't think eric/bananaman would be very happy if one started getting it up the dinner dumper

[JapsEye2]

Maybe he dresses up as Bananaman, you know, as a fetish type affair. You can't tell from the cartoon dipiction, but the costume is made of rubber (or so I like to believe). ;)

[chickensw]

oh god i LOVED bananaman when i was a kid. Definately not just a boys cartoon thansk very much.

[scottmu65]

omg they dont make them like this anymore!!

proper boys cartoon!

[Scottishgal78]

I'm female. I EVEN watched this as a kid, I liked it!!!

[cantthinkofaname30]

@Scottishgal78 i watched all the boys cartoons when i was growing up. Had no choice really as i have 2 older brothers but i have to say they were better than the girly ones

[acidheadx]

Why do our cartoons suck? this and The Family-Ness both suck and I hated them as a child .

[westlifeizqueer]

lol, have this on VHS

[zombiesonar]

LOL something happens when eric "eats a banana" yer he becomes the gayest superhero of all time.

[acidheadx]

I agree I hated this so much our cartoons suck not nearly as good as the japanese, canadian, american and even the french had some great cartoons.

[dhubanic]

so, why u wach it? go and search for some "GREAT CARTOONS".

[Spellmyst]

I have a friend called Eric there was also a cartoon called stressed Eric!. I Love Banaman What happen to it! Where did Eric go?. I like to see a new version of Banana Man?.

[craig50]

Cool i remember this too!!,didn't the Goodies do all the voices?

[Ashworth6]

Yeah it was Graham Gardener (Bananaman) and Bill Oddie (Crow). I don't remember Tim Brooke-Taylor being in it, though.

[sassinator333]

I thought i was the only one to remember this cartoon. I used to watch this right after Danger Mouse. Sweet.

[lance03244]

Banana Man = Fucking Legend

[TorchwoodPhil]

i got the dvd of the first series

[killwill83]

every time I watched this as a kid, i used to go and eat a banana afterwards! I tell you, television is a powerfully suggestive medium to the young!

...good thing he wasn't called heroin man or my life might have turned out different.

[martinwilliamrandall]

He looks a bit like American Dad & Joe out of Family Guy

[AbsinthSycoActiv]

Same here I did it was a powerful medium like you say. Glad he wasn't smack man LOL.

[jimiousjimothy]

I am attempting to develop a cartoon called Cannibis Man. Ever alert to the call of the sofa, television set and chocolate bars!

[rutharooo]

ha ha so true!!

[GrossbergerXXX]

Nah, killwill83, it wasn't that suggestive. You were just a naive little prick, that's all. Would you jump off a cliff if Bananaman told you to? Exactly.

[killwill83]

it's called a joke you twat! Your the only person on here who took me word for word!!! do you really think I actually ate a banana after every episode you gullible little cunt? no, ofcourse I didn't! it's called having a sense of humour, which considering your response I suggest you havnt aqquired!

[Niklasofc]

hands up

[sunmax1]

Haha, I never Get tired of transformation. :D

[degibox]

Aw, come on! Where's the rest of it? I haven't seen Banana man in over 15 years! You gonna post more?

[OMGMatrix]

Woot for Iron Maiden reference.

[scarstruck85]

i wanted to BE banana man when i grew up...didn't happen :-(

[SteffersG]

Do I remember Bananaman? my brother loved him so it was on all the time....But I guess I kind of liked it too....Ha! It was Eric's accent that used to make me laugh!!! Ha! Even when I was too young to really know what an accent was....

[MADEIRACARALHO]

thats alberto jonh

[devileaterinthahowse]

It sounds a lot like Superman in the 50s near the end.

[hootyhaha]

I remember the show so well I did a search for this very title :) I would always watch it on NICKELODIAN along with Danger Mouse, You Can't Do That On Television, GUMBY, and Bell and Sebastian.

[AlwaysUnited]

WEEEEE Banana man!! *hands up*

[martinwilliamrandall]

doesnt bannannaman look like american dad. good show

[RowanK1]

Sort of.

[PINKKELLYLOURAN]

I still got a bannana man annual

[IamAlwaysRight]

I used to think this show was the funniest thing that existed (I was like 6 years old and listened to that when I was in Australia for 6 months) (Im canadian)

[Momococo]

[mariannie16]
