Banana Joe

Joseph A. "Joe" Banana, or simply just Banana Joe, is a supporting character in series.
He is a student and class clown at Elmore Junior High. 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 voiced by the show's director, Mic Graves, who also voices Banana Bob, his father.
==Appearance==
Banana Joe is an anthropomorphic banana, with googly eyes and a clay mouth. His peel acts like a shirt as he can take off or wear it anytime. The bottom end of his nude banana body is his buttocks. In "The Promise," Banana Joe lacks feet due to frostbite. His googly pupils spin around his eyes whenever he makes an exaggerated or large motion.
In Season 2, Banana Joe gains eyebrows, which means he no longer expresses emotions through his pupils' changing shape, and he's much larger. His eyes are laid out horizontally rather than diagonally and are equal in size. His mouth is deeper red.
==Personality==
Banana Joe, known as the class clown, often tries to be funny, but most of his jokes fall flat, coming across as annoying, embarrassing, or childish. He is also quite dim-witted and clumsy, frequently injuring himself, making foolish decisions or remarks, or taking things too literally.
In season 1, Banana Joe is portrayed as a bully, with his jokes often being hurtful and at the expense of others. For example, he teases Gumball to tears in "The Gi" and insults him in "The Curse." However, starting in season 2, his personality changes significantly, becoming much more likable and friendly while still engaging in his antics more innocently. This is shown in episodes like "The Promise," where he values his friendship with Gumball and Darwin, and "The Banana," where he forgives them for destroying his family pen and spends most of the episode trying to mend a falling-out between them. Despite this, he can still become angry, such as when his school portrait is ruined in "The Photo."
Banana Joe also seems to have a distaste for girls, as seen in "The Pressure," where he makes a "pals before gals" pact with the guys and chops down the girls' clubhouse to prevent Darwin from kissing Masami.
One of his favorite hobbies is making videos of himself in his room to upload onto Elmore Stream-It, usually featuring him dancing, singing, or performing various stunts. This is seen in clips like "Banana Dance," and episodes like "The Promise," "The Boombox," "The Uploads," and "The Singing." These videos are often interrupted by his family members or his incompetence. He also frequently strips fully or partially naked in episodes such as "Banana Dance," "The Party," "The Joy," "The Butterfly," "The Others," "The Uploads," "The Test," "The Cringe," and "The Decisions."
Banana Joe values his family greatly, as shown in episodes like "The Banana," where he is protective of Obadiah Banana's pen, "The Hero," where he compliments his dad's potassium and vitamin B6 levels, "The Mothers," where he argues that his mom is the "superest mom" in Elmore, and "The Future," where he becomes depressed over his mother's disappearance and angrily confronts Rob after discovering that he kidnapped her.
