Exploding Bananas. A name that instills a sense of both awe and disgust, but always contains a slight edge of dignity. Production companies in this modern era generally are formed on principles and well founded moral values...Exploding Banana Productions for example always leaves a message for the kids to show them that people don't need drugs in order to maintain mental instability. Due to the rather modulatory way Exploding Bananas works the history is rather difficult to properly record...so it won't be properly recorded. I'll start at the earliest gathering of Exploding Bananas two main progenitors of this fabulous extrusion into the movie making industry.
One fateful yet arbitrary day one Skaught (Last name removed) was sitting in his usual place at lunch. Skaught wasn't you're coolest kid...in fact he was one of the losers, as a matter of fact this entire history is about losers. Well that is, the main characters were losers...one would call them more of abstractly cool people with a strange cult gathering mostly involving running people and friends that no one really knows but seem to get along with well enough on most days but can sometimes get annoying. Anyway, he was hanging out at lunch at Spring Valley Middle School when along comes a young fellow who will go as Rodham, another loser. The exact time, date, and course of events involved in this first meeting are somewhat ambiguous, although we can assume that it wasn't really at lunch, more likely in Mr. StClairs Advanced Computer class, and we can also assume it was love at first sight. By love I mean an intrinsenic unity of souls.
***warning somewhat off topic***One of the most interesting things about Exploding Bananas is that it didn't start out as a production company, far from in fact. What became Exploding Banana Production was some sort of nerdy flight simulator squadron that basically consisted of 2 people...and occasionally a third. In fact this squadron, Flying Wombats, was so lame we weren't actually able to fly on the flight simulator unless it was a free week which happened occasionally for promotional purposes. Anyway, its obvious this endeavour didn't last long....the website for that was soon replaced by complete nonsense and occasional attempts to start playing this game again were squelched. Yeah well, times were good, life was easy, homework still managed to get completed, and times were good. ***sorta gets back on topic*** Then high school appeared...that was devastating to the fledgling squadron ****this won't make sense if you didnt read the off topic part**** to say the least and it fell rapidly into the disrepair stated earlier. The two geniusi (plural of genius) were separated by what seemed like an impassable barrier of different schools, Skaught going to Grossmont High whilst Roddy was delegated to the far inferior Monte Vista, a most loathesome institution. This rift nearly killed the duo of super human madness, but luckily they both were born during the early days of the internet and ended up growing up on instant messanger a somewhat ridiculous invention that had the side-effect of keeping people in contact that would normally stop being friends fairly rapidly. (actually we can hope this wouldn't have happened...but one never knows, anyway back to the story) In their spare time Rodham and Skaught were fairly normal...or so they thought, this normalacy soon dengenerated into extreme silliness and generally involved repeated viewings of such horrorifying films as Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Strange Brew.
Trips to the mall with alligator or cheese hats were not below these two physcological messes and when Skaught one day decided to test out his new digital camera there was no hesistation in either young man's mind. These simple photo shoots soon turned into very very low quality stop motion movies and then an outside source suggested an idea for a movie...this vestige of an idea would grow in Skaught and Rodham's joint-mind to create what we know today as You Cow, from whos title grew the special effects department of Exploding Banana Productions. This early movie was technically not their first creation, but it was their first creation of any real importance, it first showed the unique style that the two would add to all their films, a simple shot set up followed by something (in Rodham and Skaught's mind at least) is generally considered ridiculously hilarious. The exact order that the remainder of movies were created is all very interesting, but I have no great desire to remember what that order is...although I have to say, Exploding Bananas is still in full swing and its newest movie ideas are constantly being putting to the grueling tests of approval by Skaught and Rodham as well as many of their friends who sporadically work on this full time project as well. 7h1$ 1$ 73h $uX012
