Fruit of the Loon: Difference between revisions

* An early episode of ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'' features an inexplicable pineapple appearing in the apartment after a wild night of boozing. [[What Did I Do Last Night?|At least it's tastier than a traffic cone...]]

* On ''[[My Name Is Earl]]'', Earl's friend Frank has been moved to a halfway house, and has not been eating because the food is spiked with tranquilizers. Since he is very hungry, Randy feeds him an apple slice he had in his pocket. Earl looks at Randy, who then explains, "Oh, I've been keeping apple slices in my pocket for awhile now."

== Professional Wrestling ==

* The perpetual midcarder Carlito (the "cool" Caribbean) was famous for always bringing an apple with him to the ring for his match (leading many to nickname him "The Bad Apple"). He invariably punctuated each match by spitting chewed-up chunks of apple in the opponent's face. The gimmick of spitting fruit was puzzling enough, but if he was from the Caribbean shouldn't he have been spitting a pineapple or a coconut?

** Both are items that it's rather hard to take a nonchalant bite out of, unless you've got the jaws of a pit bull...

== Tabletop Games ==

* Not quite a fruit, but the Magic Items I sourcebook for ''[[GURPS]]'' includes the Mad Nut: a magical nut that causes anyone carrying it to treat it as their most valuable possession.

* One print of [[Magic: The Gathering|Lure]] had a dryad holding an apple.

== Video Games ==

* ''Worms Armageddon'' also has banana bombs. When the bomb is dropped, it explodes into a cloud of bouncing bananas, which are also explosive. (Of course, that game also has carpet bombing with actual carpets, and flying Super Sheep.)

* ''[[StarTropics]]'' features a running gag about having bananas in your ears.

== Web Comics ==

* As a minor [[Running Joke]], [[Ctrl+Alt+Del]]'s local nut Ethan was obsessed with a watermelon for a time, treating it as a character.

* In ''[[Far Out There]]'', Ichabod [https://web.archive.org/web/20130715023017/http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1027073/page-6-enter-the-nitpicker/ really] [https://web.archive.org/web/20170923085622/http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1027821/page-63-your-ideas-arent-as-cool-as-you-think/ seems] [https://web.archive.org/web/20170923085412/http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1028457/page-93-at-least-they-dont-have-to-sit-next-to-any-screaming-babies/ to] [https://web.archive.org/web/20170923083552/http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1090283/page-304-i-hope-they-got-a-good-deal-at-least/ like] [https://web.archive.org/web/20170923082900/http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1228030/page-363-artfully-passing-the-buck/ apples]. He always seems to have one waiting in his pocket, [[Hammerspace|whether there's room in there or not]].
