Banana Split (HV)

* Masked
* Toon

## Judy Hopps & Nick Wilde

**Banana Split** is a masked toon from the first season of Masked Toon Singer (HV).

## Appearance

Much like the real show’s Banana Split, this contestant is a male/female duo consisting of a banana and an ice cream (Split), only with the genders swapped from the canon version. Split is vanilla-flavored and wears a suit patterned after an ice cream cone as well as a red tie and black belt. Banana has hair made of whipped cream and her peel has the top and bottom ends peeled to resemble a feather boa and a skirt, respectively. Their faces and limbs resemble those of rubberhose cartoons of the 1930s. After they win, both of them are given golden crowns with red gems.

## Clues

**Banana:** I mean, when I first met Split, I thought he was nothing but a clever con man.
**Split:** And when I first met Banana, I thought she’d be dumb enough to fall for it.
**Banana:** *Right*. But due to unforeseen circumstances, we ended up finding out we had more in common than we thought.
**Split:** We became good friends and now I see her every day.

**Split:** Hey, feel free to tell yours, but I already told mine on the other show.
**Banana:** Gladly. When I was just a little nanner, I had a big dream for my future. But all the other bananas told me I could never do it. Even after years of hard work, once my dream finally came true, it was still a long, bumpy road to success. Luckily, that’s around the same time I met Split, and we made through my first mission together.
**Split:** Hey, that was really good. Maybe I *should* tell my story again.
**Banana:** Too late, we’re outta time.

**Split:** That’s right. And I chose for us to do one of Fox’s songs because I’m a big fan of-
**Banana:** Wayne Brady.
**Split:** That’s not what I was gonna say.
**Banana:** I know, but if you said what you wanted to say, we’d be guessed too easily.

**Banana:** I know, it’s so exciting! I might not have wanted to do this the first time around, but now I just can’t stop!
**Split:** *And* it’s Love Night. We’ve been unknowingly preparing for this all season, plus we’re planning on doing the *biggest* love ballad of all next week, so we’ve got this in the bag!
**Banana:** Between this and our recently-announced big comeback, this has been a great month for us so far.

**Split:** Ooh, can I *finally* retell my backstory tonight?
**Banana:** Sure, why not? But try to keep up the ice cream metaphor.
**Split:** When I was just a little scoop, I wanted nothing more than to join the Cream Scouts. Unfortunately, none of the other flavors wanted a plain vanilla cone in the group, so I had to leave and turn to a life on the street. And honestly, if it weren’t for Banana, I’d probably still be there today.

**Banana:** I know! To think the last time *I* did this show, I was the first one out of my group. And now we’re the last ones left from our group.
**Split:** It’s crazy, I know. I’m a little worried about our song tonight, though. I know Sardine probably stole our thunder with his ballad, but should we really do another upbeat song? The last time we did one we *barely* avoided that three-way tie for last place.
**Banana:** Don’t worry. Tonight I picked a certified classic.
**Split:** (sighs) I knew I should’ve trusted you. Sly Banana.
**Banana:** Dumb Split.
