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?

Sing us a song, you’re the banana man!
Is this somebody’s porn?

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.
I feel his pain!

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.
I had no idea Carmen Miranda was a pyro.
fnarf, is this one of your friends?
@15: You are so right! Thanks.
