Bananaman is a British animated TV series that aired from 1983 to 1986, based on the comic strip character from Nutty, The Dandy, and The Beano. The show follows Eric, a seemingly ordinary schoolboy who transforms into the muscle-bound but dim-witted superhero Bananaman whenever he eats a banana. With powers like super strength, flight, and invulnerability—paired with a comically low IQ—Bananaman battles villains like General Blight and the Heavy Mob, often guided by his clever sidekick Crow. Voiced by members of the comedy trio The Goodies, the cartoon parodied superhero tropes with slapstick humor and surreal British wit.
