QI - Sleep in with the Bananas

"Which European country is the largest exporter of bananas?"
Another clip from the E series QI compilation show "Elephants" where Alan tells the story about his grandfather who quite oddly "slept in with the bananas".

I do not own the rights to the clip.

"Nothing nicer than being woken up by a friendly banana." "Well, quite!"

DAVID MITCHELL!

@Chariset Nice....

@Smithpolly Probably doesn't help that all bananas sold are clones (in a sense) from only two different types.

[HLecterPHD]

Not you personally hahha

[SlashDotDash121]

Looks like the Bananas refused to sleep with 4 people...

@Smithpolly I remember that. Also friends eating Chiquita bananas while playing Far Cry, set on a tropical island. But I guess everyone agrees that bananas are bananas. I only distinguish between apples, but never any other fruit or vegetable.

For a while, there were advertisements for Conchita bananas and Fyffes bananas on TV. They don't do them anymore. I assume because it's people don't care about what brand a banana is.

Bananas~~ in pajamas ~~are coming down the stairs.....

I love the clips in which one person starts a joke, and the next builds on it, and so on and so on, until they're all thoroughly tickled. The Acropolis and "Vere's YOUR license?" clips are really good ones for that, too. :D

I think the idea of an actual friendly banana (not a cock) waking you up is quite funny.

Belize ftw!
