The Black Banana.

EDIT 2

A LIBRARY IN A SLEEPY ENGLISH TOWN

THE LIBRARIAN IS STAMPING BOOKS.

SUDDENLY APPLE MAN BURSTS IN, HE IS IN A FRUITY SUIT COVERED IN APPLES.

HE HAS PEELED A BIG LEARING GRIN ON HIS FACE WITH AN APPLE PEELER.

EVERYONE FLEES

APPLEMAN LEANS OVER THE LIBRARIAN.

APPLEMAN
Do you want to know how I got these scars?

LIBRARIAN
Help!

APPLEMAN
My mother was a jona gold and my father was a golden delicious. God knows how I ended up a braeburn the very sourest apple.

LIBRARIAN
Please don't hurt me!

APPLEMAN
Dad used to lie in the orchard all day getting fermented. Then one day he took the peeler and carved me a new smile.

LIBRARIAN
Won't some one save me!

APPLEMAN PULLS OUT A BLOODY APPLEPEALER.

APPLEMAN
And he said to me. Why so sour? Why so sour?

OOV BANANA MAN
You wanted me here I am.

APPLEMAN TURNS

APPLEMAN
Aah Bananaman the fruity champion of....what the hell?

BANANAMAN OOV
Bananaman is dead.

WE CAN NOW SEE BANANAMAN IS DRESSED ENTIRLEY IN BLACK RUBBER WITH A HUGE BANANA COCK AND BANANA RINGS HANGING OFF HIS NIPPLES

BANANAMAN
I am the Black Banana!

VOICE OVER
In a city in decay sometimes even the heroes have to be rotten.
Coming soon to CBBC.

Like being kicked in the nads, this made me pull a face and think 'what did you do that for'

Oh not good then?

Sorry Soot. Didn't make me laugh and it would never get made. Just seemed a bit pointless (from a lazy arse who struggles to make the effort of writing sketches).

Eric eating an over ripe banana is quite a good premise but I don't think this sketch is making anything too special of it.

Ok maybe back to surgery with it.

Crikey I've been off my game of late.

Conceptually it's interesting. Seems to stop at the halfway point though. And is the world really crying out for a big budget sketch featuring an arcane cartoon character most won't remember?

I again agree with the gys above, it's a really good idea, the beginning was fine and intresting enough, however, didn't bring me any real laughs, but, the end seemed to come to quickly. Other than that, I really like the idea, but, that shouldn't be a surprise coming from me! =]

Edit1

YOUNG ERIC (BANANA MAN' ALTER EGO) IS LISTENING TO THE RADIO IN HS LOUNGE

RADIO
The Appleman has escaped from Larkham' Assylum and is on a crime spree. Where is Banana Man?

ERIC
Lummy! I'd better get a banana from the kichen. If that apple JUICES crime I'll just give him the pip!

ERIC RUNS INTO THE KITCHEN

HIS PARENTS HAVE BEEN BUTCHERED, THERE IS BLOOD EVERYWHERE AND A NEAT APPLE LEFT ON EACH OF THEIR CORPSES.

ERIC
Mum, dad noooooooo!

ERIC (HIS VOICE NOW A HOARSE CROAK THANKS TO THE SCREAMING)

ERIC
Oh mum, dad no. This is't a job for Bananaman.

HE REACHES FOR THE FRUIT BOWL HE KNOCKS ASIDE A NICE YELLOW BANANA AND TAKES A BLACK, BRUISED ONE.

ERIC
Justice is needed, evil must burn. It's time for the Black Banana!

HE EATS THE BANANA WINCING AT IT'S ROTTEN HORRIBLENESS.

SCENE2

APPLE MAN IS WALKING DOWN THE HIGH STREET HE IS HURLING GRENADES PAINTED LIKE APPLES. BUILDINGS BURN, THE MORTALLY WOUNDED ARE EVERY WHERE.

BANANA MAN LEAPS INTO THE SCENE

EXCEPT HIS WHOLE COSTUME IS NOW BLACK LIKE SOME FUCKED UP BANANA THEMED S&M COSTUME.

BANANAMAN
You're a sour apple. I'm going to rip out your core, I Know all about rotteness I am the Black Banana.

APPLEMAN
I've got a worm burrowing in my head. I've peeled my self a new smile.

APPLEMAN TURNS HE HAS TORN HIMSELF A SCAR LIKE SMILE THE PEELER STILL HANGS FROM HIS MUTILATED FACE.

Ow! my nads again!

Oh I thiught this was an improvement

Is it beyo d hope?

It's still missing an ending. Here's an idea - how about you leave the "I'm the black banana!" stuff out of the dialogue and use it as your punchline? Re-write it as a straight trailer for a feature film and use that as your ending - the title for the movie. It's a nice little comment on Hollywood's tendency to want to make all their comic properties 'dark'.

Then all you need is to persuade someone to animate it.

the idea is still good, I just don't get the end, loads more could be done...something about revenge, being a dish best served with apples on it, popped into my head, when we were in the kitchen, and I want to see the apple dude get his ass kicked (to hilarious consequences)... I think the phrase 'your a bad apple' is poss more appt to. good luck, enjoying the idea with this one. =]

Thanks I wanted to match Apple Man and Bananaman's dialogue to the Dark Knight as much as possible.

I think I'll go with Bussell's ideas on the ending.

Oh and as for anyone planning on filming I am planning on wrapping my self in binliners and masking tape.

I will be the Black Banana! (Possibly at the meet)
