History YMMV / BananasInPyjamas

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Filipino kids loved this show that they even had licensed notebooks featuring the characters. It was also very successful in Brazil during the late 90s.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: More so in regard to the older suitmation adaptation. There's something slightly unsettling about seeing two giant sentient bananas wreaking havoc in a district populated by talking teddies and a giant talking purple rat.
* WidgetSeries: There is simply no explanation as to why Australian children are so fond of giant anthropomorphic bananas (wearing pyjamas, no less). They just ''are.''

* AdaptationDisplacement: Not many Australians under the age of 25 or so knew that the song actually ''preceded'' the television show (by 25 years!) and was not written specifically for it.

** Or that there was even a series of picture books published in TheEighties that not only featured ''many'' of the Bananas and the Teddies, but [[SublimeRhyme Beans in Jeans, Zucchinis in Bikinis]] and other such creatures.

* UncannyValley: Some might say the old series fell into this trope, but the ''new'' bananas have lips... and teeth... and ''eyebrows''. Not to mention Rat looks completely different from his earlier incarnation.

* {{Earworm}}:
** A lot of the songs featured on the show, but one that particularly stands out comes from the episode "Radio Bananas" where the Bananas manage to run their own radio station at Rat's shop. An accident during one broadcast warrants an "oopsie", which accidentally finds its way onto the airwaves. The song that the Bananas make out of this will not leave your head.
** Every song in the 1997 ''Bumping and-a Jumping'' special. '''EVERY'''. '''SINGLE'''. '''SONG'''.
** Who could possibly forget the ''theme song''!
** "I'm a rat, I'm a rat, I'm a clever, clever, rat...", especially for the poor unfortunate viewers of Creator/{{USA Network}}'s Cartoon Express or syndicated children's shows who had to deal with a RepeatingAd for a talking Rat In The Hat doll which sang that song. (It actually got one station in trouble with the FCC for [[UsefulNotes/SegregatedCommercial showing it during an airing of]] ''Bananas''. Make of that what you will.)
** "Happy Birthday For Two," B1 and B2's birthday song. Listen to it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQjj4nQ7T0Y here]].
-->''Sing happy birthday to you. Happy birthday for two. It's a special day for one, but with twins it's twice the fun. Happy birthday, B1 and B2. Happy birthday to you.''

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Many episodes (mostly from the first season) are a case of this.
