Often the protagonist of such jokes is thrown into a dilemma, where he or she has to ignore the German sense of suavity in order to get out of a specific situation. In one sketch the well-known comedian Loriot, the protagonist tries to get rid of a banana skin.

NRC Handelsblad's main editorial praised D66 and put the blame on Balkenende for not being able to limit the damage to a single minister.

The album cover for The Velvet Underground & Nico is recognizable for featuring a Warhol print of a banana. Early copies of the album invited the owner to "Peel slowly and see", and peeling back the banana skin revealed a flesh-colored banana underneath. A special machine was needed to manufacture these covers (one of the causes of the album's delayed release), but MGM paid for costs figuring that any ties to Warhol would boost sales of the album. Most reissued vinyl editions of the album do not feature the peel-off sticker; original copies of the album with the peel-sticker feature are now rare collector's items.

To avoid the necessity for cooking, Wallace activates the Autochef, a robot chef composed of a tea nozzle, frying pan and blender. He has it cook scrambled eggs, but they end up on Gromit's head instead of a plate. (Gromit clearly suspects something like this will happen as he has donned a sou’wester). Wallace decides he will have fried eggs, but the Autochef throws them onto Wallace's face, blinding him. It then starts to squirt hot tea around the room saying “More tea Vicar, one lump or two?”. Gromit blocks the nozzle with a banana skin. The Autochef continues shouting risqué nonesense, getting faster and louder as the pressure increases: “More stuffing, madam? Something for the weekend, sir?” Finally, after a brief pause it declares “knickers” and explodes, destroying the dining room.

Torchwood Magazine Yearbook, p. 86 Despite the funny aspect of the script Hughes took the role seriously stating that "everyone plays it for real" and that "you can't camp it up". She believed that as an actor "you've got to believe what you're doing". Kai Owen describes Thomas, Morgan and Hughes collectively with Robin Griffith (Barry Williams) as a "good old-fashioned Welsh cast who know what it's all about".Torchwood Magazine Yearbook, p. 85 Jonathan Lewis Owen was cast as Rhys' best man "Banana Boat" a character referred to sporadically since Torchwoods first series premiere "Everything Changes" (2006).

Kerim has in his office a portrait of Winston Churchill hanging in a prominent spot together with a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Churchill is a hated figure in Turkey who is detested as the First Lord of the Admiralty who confiscated two battleships that the Ottoman empire had paid for in 1914; for his role in launching the Dardanelles campaign of 1915; for advocating British support for Greece and finally supporting David Lloyd George in 1922 when he decided to go to war with Turkey. In Rusya’dan Sevgilerle, Kerim has only a portrait of Elizabeth II. Kerim shakes Bond's hand with "a hand with strength that could break the bones of fingers by squeezing [them]" while the references to the "Western handful of operative fingers" and "the banana skin handshake of the East" are removed. In From Russia, with Love Kerim has two citations for military service for Britain while in Rusya’dan Sevgilerle he has none.

In the strip, Eric Wimp, an ordinary schoolboy living at 29 Acacia Road, Nuttytown (later changed to Dandytown and then Beanotown when the strip moved to other comics), eats a banana to transform into Bananaman, an adult superhero, sporting a distinctive cowled blue and yellow outfit complete with a yellow two tailed cape resembling a banana skin. His superpowers include the ability to fly, superhuman strength (often quoted as "twenty men... twenty big men" but sometimes limitless, with "nerks", "women" and "snowmen" all being used in place of "men"), and seeming invulnerability. This is offset by the fact that he is just as naive and foolish (if not more so) as his alter ego; as mentioned in the comic once or twice, he has the "muscles of twenty men and the brains of twenty mussels". If Bananaman needs extra power, bananas can be eaten for strength boosts, provided by his faithful pet crow; if he does not have enough strength to shatter an ice block, for example, after eating another banana, he will have enough.
