But seriously, like Miss Kermie said, nobody knows. All we know about it is that the joke starts with "Two bananas walk into a bar...", and that it was supplied to Fozzie by Gags Beasely (a.k.a. Jack Burns).

That's not the banana sketch that muppet maniac is referring to.

He's referring to the banana sketch Scooter and Fozzie did...which I'll explain here: Fozzie is dressed as a telephone. Scooter says, "Are you the telephone pole?" Fozzie responds saying he's Mike Oznowicski. The joke is that Fozzie says a name with "ski" on the end of it, which often implies that a last name is Polish, meaning that Fozzie is the telephone Pole. Hope that made sense.

Does anyone else believe some people fake laughter, so nobody knows they haven't heard it?

Isn't that the "Telephone Pole" bit?

Interestingly I'm currently sat in a room with the person who originally drew this and the guy she drew it for! What are the chances...

I love that its survived this long as a MC joke though since 06!

There is no banan sketch and there will never be a bananas sketch!
