OK. Just out of curiosity ...who originated the banana dance? I see it all over here but not sure where it came from. When I became an ecf veteran I got a banana dance. When I moved to reo ville I got a banana dance lol. Where does this dance originate? Banana banana banana

all I could find about it was something to do with a song called Peanut Butter Jelly Time:

Peanut Butter Jelly Time Story

Peanut Butter Jelly Time is a Flash animation that first emerged at the early early part of this century and quickly became an Internet phenomenon. The animation is based on a song of the same name recorded by DJ Chipman of the Buckwheat Boyz. The best known version of the animation which can be seen above shows a highly pixelated Dancing Banana moving back and forth to the song's chorus.

The Banana dance originator of these next of the woods for as long as I can remember is Reonaut Richard aka whatitstrue from phoenix AZ and as he would say this calls for a Banana dance

 

[Boothvilleboi]

well who ever claims the title of creator has created a very catchy dance. because i see the dancing bananas everywhere. And i think that everyone who does the banana dance name drop should pay homage to the creator, just saying.....

DJ Chipman of the Buckwheat Boyz? it's way to pixelated not to be the origins and for those of you that wont click on my link ( you know who you are ) more of the back story:
The Dancing Banana (also known as Peanut Butter Jelly, or Humba the Banana) is a popular emoticon peanut butter jelly time emoticon. In 2001 the Dancing Banana was used on several forums as a standard emoticon. Most forums would replace the text with the gif animation.

 

[Boothvilleboi]

Very informed answer. I knew my fellow reonauts would shed light on the matter.

All I know is I love those little guys!!!!! As I'm sure most of you know.

I've been handing out banana dances for several years on different forums. I tell myself its to hopefully make someone feel good... But in reality they just crack me up.

Thanks Pietro for the shout out though. While I'm not the inventor, i do love those crazy dancing bananas and will continue to spread there joy as often as i can.
