Drunk Exploding Banana Face Man

Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Fri, Jan 9, 2009 at 2:23 PM

Behold! The newest internet meme: Sticking fruit on your face, and exploding it with firecrackers. However, don't underestimate Exploding Banana Face Man. Not only is it hilarious (number 7 banana is the best!), there's some serious Jean-Paul Sartre/Waiting for Godot philosophical shit happening up in here. Isn't he just the perfect representation of man alone in a godless universe with fruit blowing up in his face?

I thought he was gonna do them all at once. The way he waits a painfully long time between each and that there's no other sound makes it a little creepy.

This is the weirdest thing I have ever seen in my life. And I live in L.A.

This is why we keep Trig locked up in the cellar.

The mask the man was wearing represents every man's misguided effort to insulate himself from the pain, shock and tedium of existence. To be a fully realized human being, you must allow yourself to fully experience what happens around you, what happens to you. Take off your masks, all you Banana People!

Sing us a song, you're the banana man!

I am very very glad that Mr. Humphrey is finally making his presence known on the Slog.

Why did he not complete the task? Did the essential meaninglessness of the universe rush in to him and fill him with black ennui? I too, wish he had set them off at a much more rapid rate.

If that was a woman, people would call it sexist.

9 ftw.

Darkly meaningless, but it can't hold an existential candle to "One-Eyed Man Removes, Eats Remaining Eye".

BTW, it's just a figure of speech. What ever you do, don't give that man a candle.
