How to Eat a Banana Properly

Here's how to eat a banana now we don't pick it up and peel it like a primate. First, going from one end, cut it off then cut off the other end turning your knife on its side then score down the skin peel back and eat like so.

A formally dressed man demonstrates how to eat a banana with a knife and fork in an elegant dining room, carefully cutting off both ends, scoring the peel, and serving slices. The joke is the absurdly aristocratic overcomplication of a simple everyday action, amplified by his serious instructional tone and operatic-sounding music. It works as a reaction to needless sophistication or overthinking a basic task.
