History YMMV / BananasInPyjamas

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

* HilariousInHindsight: ''Lulu's Magic''. Several years down the road, VideoGame/FinalFantasyX was released- which had a black mage named Lulu.

* 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.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: "Cinder Rat"'s plot involved cross-dressing.

** "I'm a rat, I'm a rat, I'm a clever, clever, rat...", especially for the poor unfortunate viewers of Creator/{{USA}}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.

** Or that the Banana toy featured on PlaySchool was around well before the show, and wasn't just a piece of TheMerch that the show later spawned.

** The 1979 animated short [[SubvertedTrope subverts]] this. While it has been screened sporadically on PlaySchool for over 3 decades (even during the run of the live-action adaptation), many toddlers would naturally think that the short was somehow inspired by the live-action series and not created before then. However, to the eyes of a preteen and older, it's plain to see in comparison to other animated shows on television nowadays that it was obviously created a long time ago.

* FridgeLogic: In the episode "Video Clip" (at the end of a 1993 StoryArc), the Bananas and Teddies film a video and then watch it back to themselves immediately afterwards. [[WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief The fact that it's a show for young children aside]], some of the clips in the video feature the characters when they ''weren't'' filming, and there's no character in the episodes depicted who is a functioning camera-person apart from Lulu (who was in the footage). And then there's the fact that Lulu managed to edit the video, set up the recorder and get the tape in play in ''less than ten seconds''...

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: In regards to the 2011 reboot, ''big time''. One {{Facebook}} page calling for the new series to be canned managed to amass a whopping 50,000 "likes".

* {{Earworm}}: Arguably 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.

*** NOBODY. ''EVER.''

** Not to mention Rat looks completely different from his earlier incarnation.

* AdaptationDisplacement/OlderThanTheyThink: 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.
