You wouldn’t think that a rotting banana could do a whole lot of damage to a person’s psyche, but the short horror film Bananas Are Real is going to try and do just that.

A young man home from an intense practice of likely sports finds a note from his mother.  The note warns him against eating the last banana as it has gone rotten (even though it really doesn’t look rotten).  But our young man is clearly hungry from his sporting pursuits and disregards his mother’s advice, eats the banana, and finds himself on the receiving end of an entire world of creepy.  How creepy?  Let’s just say bananas with hammers is just a start.

Bananas Are Real is actually a hilarious little short film that isn’t that scary but probably shouldn’t be interpreted as such either.  If you’ve wanted to laugh at a scary movie, then this is going to be one of your best bets, especially given that it’s only about three or so minutes long.

The Screenhead Ten Scale hands this chuckle-laden short a six out of ten for the sheer giggle factor.
