A friendly message from r/banana (self.arresteddevelopment)

submitted ago by jowampwamp

Greetings, r/arresteddevelopment. As an emissary from r/banana, I appeal to you now in this most dire of times. As you may know, a bitter battle is being fought by the valiant r/banana against the r/pickle tyrant, and his ally, r/pear. Though our forces are strong, and our allies many, I address you now with a request for support. r/banana is a historical ally of r/arresteddevelopment, and our common history and values must be protected. There has always been money in the banana stand-- will r/arresteddevelopment stand with r/banana?

There's always money in the r/banana stand.

[–]mtgcolorpie 41 points42 points ago

I was thinking my contribution would be a magic show.

[–]Support_HOOP 16 points17 points ago

This is a fruit/vegetable war, not a six year old's birthday party

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points ago

I'm just more comfortable with an Alliance-approved magician

No, but seriously, I'll do my part

[–]pietervriesacker 14 points15 points ago

The force is strong with us.

Only if I retain animation rights.

I should have never given up animation rights.

[–]SoThatHappened 12 points13 points ago

Reddit, you so crazy

[–]Synth3t1cLeatherdaddy 77 points78 points ago

As a moderator of /r/pickle, I must come and tell you the whole truth.

Banana has never cared about arrested development. In fact, a secret leader of /r/banana was the REASON arrested development got canceled.

FURTHERMORE, an emissary from /r/pickle was the reason AD was picked back up.

Now, I know what you're thinking - do I have proof? No, but I have proof of banana's lies:

/banana is a historical ally of r/arresteddevelopment

WHAT IS THIS SHENANIGANS. Banana is the SEC to our Bluths, the T-Bone to our banana stand, the Annyong Annyong ...
the Annyong to our fam-
Annyong
Would somebody please tell this insufferable child to...

Closing statement:
... and you tell me you’ve got some BANANA supporters? That just makes me want to puke all over your head, sir. Give pickle a chance to be your hero in this tale, and I give you my word on humble knee, whence you shall not say it wasn’t e’er to be.

[–]letsgetfunkified 98 points99 points ago

I feel like the prettiest girl at the dance

[–]bvanmanMotherboy XXX's Saddest Award 69 points70 points ago

Both sides are making a lot of promises.

[–]GetStapled 5 points6 points ago

NO TOUCHING!

[–]Support_HOOP 55 points56 points ago

T-Bone didn't burn down the banana stand. He burned down the storage facility. And you expect the guy in the Six Thousand Dollar Suit to side with r/pickle? COME ON

[–]Synth3t1cLeatherdaddy 13 points14 points ago

Shit.

[–]nightzirk 2 points3 points ago

Didn't Annyong burn the banana stand?

[–]Support_HOOP 8 points9 points ago

No Michael burned the banana stand for the insurance that he didn't get because Gob threw the check into the ocean.

[–]nightzirk 2 points3 points ago

Ah yeah. Didn't Annyong do something to the stand, though? Maybe I'm just completely wrong about this.

[–]ShiftOptionK 4 points5 points ago

He tagged it, but he signed as "Hello" and you can only see it for a moment.

[–]RioTheDragonMan 0 points1 point ago

"As a local holiday tradition", it would be vandalized, leaving the tradition of rebuilding the stand to Michael and George Michael. More specifically, the tag read "I get u Bluth! Hello" and the stand was thrown off the boardwalk in that specific eps (s2e6)

[–]Support_HOOP 3 points4 points ago

His grandfather started the business and Lucille stole it, then Annyong spied on the family and turned the Bluths in to the SEC

[–]kickme444 2 points3 points ago

I'm a fan of yours but I need to step forward, in an official reddit capacity and declare my support for the bananas. While a pickle might be enjoyed on occasion, a banana helps stop my hand cramps, as well as being delicious frozen, double dipped chocolate and nuts.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

Double dipped? Sounds like you're gonna need two sticks for that one.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

I retain animation rights and we go back to single dip.

[–]classy_stegasaurusMr. Manager 2 points3 points ago

Just so you know, r/banana's supporters LOVE arrested development

[–]AstroNarcissist -3 points-2 points ago

pickles will prevail!

[–]TheBoson 18 points19 points ago

BEES?!!

(this is how I convey my confusion...)

[–]PringleGuyAlias is a show about a spy... 16 points17 points ago

TheBoson's not on board..

[–]Support_HOOP 12 points13 points ago

They don't allow you to have bees in here

[–]ekvqYou selfish coun…try music lover! 8 points9 points ago

He never got to see my bee business take off.

[–]skitztobotch 10 points11 points ago

I didn't even know we were calling him that...

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

It'll take a lot more than a heart attack to kill that Old Bear

(And on a bee related note, here's nic cage)

[–]hddrummercoo-coo-ka-CHA! 3 points4 points ago

BEADS?!

[–]SundayVerdict 4 points5 points ago

Oh my god. Now everything makes sense. The internet makes sense. I.. I need to go outside for a while...

[–]BrianWulfric 3 points4 points ago

You can't escape. The outside world has bananas too.

[–]SundayVerdict 1 point2 points ago

No... no! Tell me it's not true!!!

[–]bvanmanMotherboy XXX's Saddest Award 2 points3 points ago

You've never actually been to a grocery store, have you?

[–]Ken_nySave it for the stand, Tom Jane. 3 points4 points ago

How much could a banana cost? Ten dollars?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

You’ve never actually set foot in a supermarket, have you?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Son of a... there's a banana on my desk... Holy shit it's right next to my 32GB MicroSD card with all my DVD's of Arrested Development ripped onto it.

No, Really

[–]maddkid53 17 points18 points ago

OH MY GOD. you have no idea how much i HATE pickles. I will stand with you till the end.

[–]bobuhbeartoe 24 points25 points ago

So, you could say this is a banana stand?

[–]jewbuttercup 8 points9 points ago

oh that felt so good to read. you have satisfied me in way i didn't think were possible.

He did have his analrapist stocking over his head.

[–]binnesotan 8 points9 points ago

[–]maddkid53 0 points1 point ago

[–]binnesotan 1 point2 points ago

uhhh. yes. right. of course. you got it!

[–]maddkid53 1 point2 points ago

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[–]NoKarmaForKindnessCOME ON! 5 points6 points ago

I just found out about this war when my bf noticed a pickle on r/trees. He gave me the run down after some research. I didn't check either side out and promptly forgot about it. But this was cute and funny and appeals greatly to my love of Arrested Development so I have subscribed to r/banana. Good day and Good Battle to you.

[–]SirScrambly 4 points5 points ago

Can you provide said rundown please?

[–]amishiusMaybe I'll Put It In Her Brownie 5 points6 points ago

Friends, we are all banana grabbers here! We must join this fight! We didn't want to be part of the pickle/banana war but it's been brought to us and we can no longer sit idle while there's still money in the banana stand!

[–]RioTheDragonMan 1 point2 points ago

I should have never given away animation rights.

[–]burshoFREEDOM 5 points6 points ago

Just realized I was not in fact there was an /r/banana and it seems like a huge mistake that I wasn't subscribed to it already.

[–]Support_HOOP 3 points4 points ago

I would never admit to making a mistake

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

[–]Support_HOOP 1 point2 points ago

This video was great. Totally worth finding out I got the quote wrong

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Got the quote wrong? Would you say you've made a huge mistake?

[–]Support_HOOP 1 point2 points ago

I've never admitted to a mistake.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Oh really?

You want to pop the trunk and roll the windows down, please?

I’m just messing with you. Hey, Franklin. How you doing, little man?

[–]Support_HOOP 1 point2 points ago

He said some things Whitey just wasn't ready to hear

[–]clamdeverHer? 5 points6 points ago

I mean, I guess it would just be a guy who you know, grabs bananas and runs. Or, um, a banana that grabs things. I don’t know. Why would a banana grab another banana? I mean, those are the kind of questions I don’t want to answer.

[–]thebitchrake 4 points5 points ago

I don't like any of these food items. You stand without me, /r/banana.

[–]Meathamper 6 points7 points ago

As someone who hates pickles but enjoys eating bananas, I am with you in this great crusade.

[–]not_a_banana 1 point2 points ago

I'm in!

[–]lacylolaTHAT'S how you narrate a story. 2 points3 points ago

No bananas were harmed in this product.

[–]bluthbanana20 2 points3 points ago*

I'm hurt that nobody from /r/banana has reached out to me nor is there proof that they reached out to other bluth bananas.

[–]guavaman202 1 point2 points ago

So I looked at /r/banana allies on their page, and /r/arresteddevelopment isn't on there. I don't know who to trust...

[–]jowampwamp[S] 1 point2 points ago

i've just submitted a request to r/arresteddevelopment asking them to formally ally themselves with r/banana. i messaged an r/banana mod, and once that happens they will be listed, and it will be official

Not only is there Always Money In The Banana Stand, but i have it on good authority that bananas are indeed, good.

I think the /r/banana and /r/pickle intrusiveness are worst things on Reddit right now. It's a cancer that is making this site worse. Neither subreddit is funny.

[–]LionheadGeek 3 points4 points ago

Except for /r/banana. That shit is hilarious.

[–]speedyjohnLoose Seal! 2 points3 points ago

That shit is bananas! B-A-N-A-N-A-S!
