Aww! A couple of girls in Texas were inspired by Arrested Development, and so they opened their own banana stand. So good! From the Austin Decider:
Last year, Notario found herself sidelined by illness for nearly a week, unable to do anything other than sit on the couch and watch DVDs of Arrested Development, Mitchell Hurwitz’s late, lamented show about a dysfunctional family of wealthy screw-ups whose unscrupulous patriarch got his start selling frozen bananas to tourists along the boardwalk.
“It was 3 a.m., and I was delusional from medicine,” Notario says. “And I had the idea to open my own banana stand.”
Oh it’s cute. You’re opening a business!
“People say, ‘Oh it’s cute. You’re opening a business,’” Notario says. “But there’s nothing cute about electrical sanding. A lot of people helped us. We had to organize it. We stained and painted and primed. It was a lot of work.”
Sorry! I was not trying to denigrate your work ethic! Anyway, let’s be real: that is cute. They have a Facebook group! THESE GIRLS ARE ON THEIR GRIND. Let’s paint, exercise, and open our own small businesses based loosely on TV shows that we enjoy, you guys.

Que the onslaught of weiner related posts (seriously, that’s the chocolate banana the chose to photograph)–I’m giddy with excitement.
Does that chocolate banana look a little suspicious to anyone else or am I being all “Reactionary Christian Parent Looking at The Little Mermaid Movie Poster?”
No, Frank… it ‘s not just you. It looks like a dildo.

My goodness that is potentially suggestive.
haha, “potentially”? I think it’s already there.
sigh
Who hasn’t been high at 3 am and wanted to act out Arrested Development in real life?
For real, that is cute though.
I’ll meet you down by the big yellow joint.
1. Arrested Development is the smartest, funniest, and most well written show ever. You have to assume that every single element is a joke related to something else in the show. I just watched all 3 seasons for the 5th time and still found bits of hilarity that i had previously missed.
2. Penis on a stick.
Penis on a stick should be a catch phrase.
our moms can even use it at some point to denote frustration or anger.
maybe Mitchell Hurwitz can even incorporate the phrase in the never-happening-but-hoping-it-is-for-real Arrested Development movie.
Right on. Keep Austin weird!
I know! Frozen bananas are so weird, right?
seriously, that is not a banana at all…
Yay, for uncircumsized bananas!
It’s a Doberman, let it have its ears.
WHY WOULD I NEED A BLACK BANANA!
So how else would you respond if I gave you a banana with nuts on it?
They just like saying “bananas” and “nuts,” and I won’t tell you why. That’s your father’s job.
Sometimes when I’m delusional from medicine I want to dress in jogging attire and make sexually explicit food with my friends. Also, my medicine of choice is cocaine.
H-U-S-T-L-E, Hustle on ladies!
The one on the right looks more like a penis to me. Snow white and covered with crunchies.
A banana stand in this economy? Absurd!
dammit.

I am conflicted. I want to make a “that chocolate one will make YOUR banana stand!” joke, but I also want to make a “even if it means me taking a chubby, I’ll suck it up” reference. Instead I will state that frozen bananas dipped in chocolate are delicious. Also, brown penis on a stick.
Definitely the work of a flamer.
voting you down has the opposite effect?
“There were 250 CCs of your father’s semen in the cooler in the banana stand!”
“But there’s nothing cute about electrical sanding.”
Oh I think that almost says it all.
Penisbanana.
Aww is right. This story feels kinda Lindsay-ish. And to those that have made penis jokes, way to grab at that lowest hanging fruit!
Aren’t you cocky! High-minded people like you make me testy. Swallow your pride and learn to hang like the rest of us.
This response will be “hard” to “beat.”
Tobias, is that you?
Douche chill!
Is that a banana in your hands or are you just?nope, that’s just a banana.
THERE IS ALWAYS MONEY IN THE BANANA STAND
nom. nom. nom.
I went there on its opening weekend and their stuff is amazing. They have all sorts of candy they’ll dip the bananas in and even have combinations named after AD things, like The Gob and Afternoon Delight.
Hey, I don’t know if anyone else has noticed, but bananas kind of look like penises.
How soon before they’re assimilated by Baskin Robbins, ditch the organic banana’s in favor of e-coli bananas from Peru, and become soulless corporate shills smirking at thier younger naive days at the ol banana stand wearing headbands ironically with spoons?
Nevermind (insert penis joke here)
Can someone just make the last penis joke already so we can wrap this one up?

is this one of those “magic eye” comments where, if you look at it closer, it actually becomes funny?
“Give me a Gob”
“Gob!”
Oh Michael Cera…you used to be so cute….
I’d buy pretty much anything from a coupla ladies wearing badass headbands like those.
the girl on the left is clearly Ellen from Pete & Pete
Seriously, everyone is talking about the obvious phallic candy, but nobody is bothering to explain why they have plastic spoons in their headbands.
cue the handjob comments.
that doesn’t work when there are already 46 comments
I have been to this place and can vouch that it’s awesome.
See, white looking banana cocks are just as well endowed as chocolate ones.
Mr. BananaGrabber and Baby BananaGrabber
Their stand doesn’t look like a banana at all. What a fucking disappointment. I hope Fox cancels them too.
i wish i lived in a magical hipster town where i could open up a magical hipster business that references a magically beloved hipster show and actually stay afloat instead of, you know, losing all my money, ruining my credit, and devastating my life. oh blissful alternate reality, where are you?
Question for the thinkers: How many penis jokes does it take before the internet explodes?
Also, that picture makes those girls forearms look huge…or at least their bodies look really small!
You just made a fool out of yourself in front of T-Bone.
Dip mine in Teamosil!
