Banana Joe

Banana Joe is a supporting character in The Amazing World of Gumball. the class clown at Gumball's school. When he cracks his jokes he thinks people are laughing with him when they are really laughing at him or not at all. He is also a CGI and stop-motion character, like some others in the show.

Appearance
Banana Joe is an anthropomorphic banana with googly eyes and a mouth made of clay similar to Clayton's. He wears and treats his "peel" like a shirt - he can remove it at will, and has several extras messily stuffed into his clothing drawer. The bottom end of his nude banana body is clefted to resemble his butt.

Starting in season two, Banana Joe gets a redesign. He gets eyebrows on his upper head and is much larger than he was previously.

Personality
Being the class clown, Banana Joe is always making jokes or trying to be funny, though his jokes can sometimes be hurtful, like how he teased Gumball to tears in "The Gi". His jokes can also be annoying or creepy, such as in" The Third". At first, Gumball and Darwin enjoyed his comedy act, but as he went on, he got creepier, causing them to leave him.

Banana Joe also has a distaste for girls. This was prevalent in "The Pressure," where he established a pals before gals pact with the guys. He even resorted to chopping down the girls' clubhouse, all to prevent Darwin from kissing Masami. However, he may have gotten over this, since he didn't complain in "The Party" when everyone had to get a date to attend. Furthermore, in "The End," he acts as the justice of the peace for Gumball's wedding.

He also appears to be messy. His room is in desperate need of cleaning - his peels are sticking out of his drawer and there's junk scattered across the floor. Also, the stuff in his locker looks as though he just carelessly stuffed them in there.

Banana Joe seems to be a total jerk to everyone including his own friends, he sometimes teams up with Tobias to do it and most of the time he does it to Gumball and Darwin. In the episode "The Pressure" He and Tobias forced Gumball and Darwin to start hating girls and not having any girlfriends even though they wanted to. In the episode "The Mystery" He was seen trying to get his own friend Gumball in trouble and then trying to stop him when he ran away. In the episode "The Gi" He was seen bullying Gumball and Darwin in front of everyone at their school. He insulted Gumball three times in "The Curse" in the episode "The Kiss" Banana Joe and Tobias are making annoying noises to annoy him and also bullying Alan by roughly scrubbing her face, In the episode "The Genius" Gumball's brain was remembering all the times Banana Joe insulted Gumball, In the episode "The Banana" There was alot of bullying there to Gumball and Darwin, then they even bullied him back too.
