O'Neal, Dougy Williams The Buckwheat Boyz was an American musical group founded by Marcus Bowens and Jermaine Fuller, with the later addition of J.J. O'Neal and Dougy Williams. The Buckwheat Boyz were signed by Koch Records, and recorded their first and only full - length record. From this self - titled album, the song `` Peanut Butter Jelly Time '' became popular on the Internet after a flash music video featuring an animated dancing banana was created. The popularity of the song increased as it was featured on television shows such as The Proud Family, Family Guy, and Regular Show. Disbandment In 2002, founding member and vocalist Jermaine Fuller died during an 11 - hour police standoff. During the standoff his brother - in - law, Snoop Dogg attempted to calm Fuller down and convince him to surrender to no avail. Fuller 's death directly led to the disbandment of the group. `` Ice Cream and Cake '' song Their song `` Ice Cream and Cake '' rapidly rose in popularity after being featured in a 2009 Baskin - Robbins marketing campaign, which included a television commercial and an Ice Cream and Cake Dance Video Contest. In August 2009, Baskin - Robbins kicked off the contest by hosting the Guinness World Records Largest Cheerleading Dance event with Mario Lopez of Extra TV and 225 members of the Universal Cheerleaders Association ( UCA ), at the University of California Los Angeles. However, as of August 2011, the Guinness World Records archive states that the record for largest cheerleading dance was set in November 2009 by 297 participants at the University of Memphis in Memphis, Tennessee. It is not known whether this event was related to the Baskin - Robbins contest. Old Dominion University plays `` Ice Cream and Cake '' at home basketball games at the Ted Constant Convocation Center, and enjoys active crowd dance participation.
