Bananas

Elmo is buried in one of his favorite fruits: bananas. Dorothy wants to know what you do with a banana. Mr. Noodle tries to make a phone call on a banana, play a banana like a trumpet, and write on paper with an ink-dipped banana. When he finally goes to take a bite, it pops up out of the peel and lands in Elmo's hands. Kids show how to peel and eat bananas. Elmo counts the number of bananas in a hat. Chairs, skateboards and bananas don't eat bananas, but monkeys do. Elmo's friend Michael made an entire meal of bananas: banana bread, fried bananas, banana pancakes, banana smoothies and banana pudding. All of Michael's friends came over for a banana feast. The Banana Channel (containing programming with a-peel) tells the story of bananas. Coming up next on The Banana Channel: "A Bunch & Other Stuff". Elmo talks to a comedian banana with his own drum riff to accent his jokes. Elmo learns that he knows enough about bananas to be a banana. Dorothy imagines Elmo as a banana in a banana tree who is shaken free and chased by a monkey through a supermarket. Attempting to answer one of the age-old mysteries, Elmo shows his film "Can a Banana Peel Itself?"
