Talking Dave Minion Banana Babbler

2013 Despicable Me 2 McDonald's Happy Meal Toy #3

 When you pull Dave's Banana he babbles,
 "Hehe Ho Banana, Oohh Banana!"

(The banana has to be pulled and held for Dave to complete the phrase.)

personally i think the concept is great it might encourage children to eat more fruit by making it fun.  i think some adults seem obsessed about children being soxualised the same way they seem to see every man as a pedophile.  of course one has to be vigilant but society seems to have a bit over the top.

A little bit of hamming it up and naughtiness has always been used for kids movies and tv.  It keeps it amusing for the parents too that have to sit through it with their kids.

This is an example, especially for Muggsy   It is an excerpt from an online Age column.

LONG-TIME Play School host John Hamblin was known as Funny John because he was madcap and unpredictable and always made mistakes. Or so I thought as a child. Imagine my surprise to discover that all along the parents were laughing for very different reasons.

"Hello, I'm John. I'm a garage man today," Hamblin says in one memorable episode of the show. "Do your mum and dad have a car that sits in the garage? Benita's going to be a car. Here she comes now. I'll just crawl underneath and see what has to be done." He stops and looks up at the camera from between Benita's legs. "Well, her big end's gone but I think I can fix it."

and then... 

The book is rich with anecdotes of Hamblin throwing the crew of Play School into hysterics during his 357-episode run on the show. Fellow presenter George Spartels recalls a sketch in which Benita Collings and John were preparing lunch. "She laid the table cloth, put down a plate and a knife. He looked down; then looked up at her: 'I suppose a fork's out of the question?' "

I remember a lot of that, joono, but haven't watched it for a while.  I have an idea that is is fairly bland now. Society is being dumbed down, and when that happens we lose our SOH.  Nothing's clever any more.

It's still a double entendre

From Wikipedia: A double entendre is a figure of speech in which a spoken phrase is devised to be understood in either of two ways. Typically one of the interpretations is rather obvious whereas the other is more subtle. The more subtle of the interpretations is typically sexually suggestive. It may also convey a message that would be socially awkward, or even offensive, to state directly. (The Oxford English Dictionary describes a double entendre as being used to "convey an indelicate meaning".)

How does the rest go?  

Same as "one potato, two potato, three potato, four".....?

You'll have to watch something other than playschool.

I think the rest goes like tha potato song...he didn't get to finish before our dd said "Dad pleeeaaaase stop it "

He has a habit of repeating annoying jingles over and over.

We haven't watched play school for a few years now...not sure if something on tv made him start singing that...the timing was funny .

I agree of course, icy, but my answer to the OP's question seems not acceptable to the people whose heads double entendres miss completely.

Most of my adult life has been spent in the care and protection of children, and I have seen the results of this denial.

[icyfroth]

Most have missed the point altogether

I opened a Folk of the Faraway Tree book in the shops the other day to find Fanny's name had been changed to Francis, or something similar.
