* [[ThisIsGonnaSuck "Aww man, this really sucks!"]] [- —[[FunnyAfro Jazz Spandex]]-]

* PeoplePuppets: Seppuku uses [[OurElvesAreBetter Kyra's]] nervous system as an antenna to broadcast a distress call to Baninja in World of the Damned Episode 3. She is zombified during this period and speaks the radio transmissions aloud.

* EverythingsSquishierWithCephalopods: Baninja has had a long-standing rivalry with a land-dwelling squid, for reasons as yet unexplained.

* FunWithSubtitles: In the Feast Master story arc where {{Deadpool}} is a guest judge, he plays his characteristic role of FourthWallObserver and gripes about his subtitles being the same color as those of Baninja. After that, he gets his own word balloons (the only word balloons ever used in the entire series).

''[[http://www.banana-ninja.com/ Banana-nana-Ninja!]]'' is a [[WebAnimation Flash cartoon]] based on the adventures of [[AnthropomorphicObjects Baninja]], a masked banana on a crusade to save his fellow [[AnimateInanimateObject sentient foodstuffs]] with his [[GratuitousNinja banana ninja skills]]. Created by "Umbrascitor" in 2007 and launched on the web in January 2009, the series comprises animated shorts made for its own canon storyline, and a number of OriginalCharacter Battle Tournament events (such as [[http://www.banana-ninja.com/episodes/OCBZ_Saltman2.html "Battle of the Elements"]] and the [[http://www.banana-ninja.com/episodes/FeastMasterVol1.html "Feast Master"]] story arc).

The series borders on WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids as the often adorable banana [[KillerRabbit graphically kills humans]] on his quest to save his fellow bananas from a "hot fudgey-coated fate." Action scenes are reminiscent of WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack, and the world setting evokes the ''WesternAnimation/{{Invader Zim}}''-esque mentality that HumansAreMorons. Also, HumansAreTheRealMonsters. The Flash animation is often brought into the "real world" through live-action video clips, ala WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants.

* AnthropomorphicObjects / {{Animate Inanimate Object}}s: They are the basis of the entire series. Most of the main characters are martial-arts fruits.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Actually, it's difficult to tell. Sometimes Baninja's stick-figure legs are shown with shoes or tabi boots during a SuperMovePortraitAttack.

* [[LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn Sorry I Left the Background Music On]] so loud you could hear it in the Happy Banana dining area from the manager's office.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: HighPressureBlood, dismemberment and a general disregard for ''human'' life are to be

The ''Banana-nana-Ninja!'' website also features a daily fortune cookie generator; a weekly webcomic (now on hiatus) starring [[MeaningfulName Haiku]], a watermelon who [[StrangeSyntaxSpeaker only speaks in haiku]], an "Ask Baninja!" Q&A column in the spirit of ''AskANinja'', and a Flash game that pits the BNN characters against each other in [[ShowdownAtHighNoon quick-draw battles]].

* FundamentallyFunnyFruit: It's a banana with a sword.

* ShowWithinAShow: "Kikyotushi: The Suburban Ninja" is like a cross between TheItchyAndScratchyShow and ''Series/{{Jackass}}'', and is filmed in live action. A guy dressed as a "street clothes" ninja attacks unsuspecting people on the street and in their homes. The fruit ninja clan watches the show, but they don't seem to like it much.

* FundamentallyFunnyFruit: It's a banana with a sword. [[FreudWasRight How much more phallic can you get?]]

* FictionalCounterpart: The [=PriceCo=] Supermart is a parody of Wal-Mart, [=CostCo=], etc. The Feast Master tournament is an intergalactic IronChef.

The series borders on WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids as the often adorable banana [[KillerRabbit graphically kills humans]] on his quest to save his fellow bananas from a "hot fudgey-coated fate." Action scenes are reminiscent of SamuraiJack, and the world setting evokes the ''WesternAnimation/{{Invader Zim}}''-esque mentality that HumansAreMorons. Also, HumansAreTheRealMonsters. The Flash animation is often brought into the "real world" through live-action video clips, ala WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants.

* ManChild: Baninja comes across as a formidable, honorable warrior with the brains of SpongeBob or WesternAnimation/TheTick.
