The Banana Splits: The Murders

I want to tell you about this childhood show called The Banana Splits. It was about these cartoony animal characters that would sing and dance and drive in their little cars. But one episode was different. Very different.

June 21st, 2019:

I was watching South Park, when a package slipped through my mail slot. It was a VHS tape with a poorly drawn Fleegle on the front. I inserted it in and the selection screen popped up. I swear i saw the Fleegle illustration blink, but i convinced myself that i was seeing things. The VHS had one episode, and it was called. “The Murders.” I clicked the episode and it started.

The episode began with the splits singing and dancing, and brief images popped up including a dead rabbit, a mutilated Bingo the gorilla, and a man with burn marks on him. The episode came back, and Fleegle ripped his head off, exposing the man in the costume. The man bashed Drooper with the Fleegle head, blood splattering all over the set. The Drooper guy was dead. The Fleegle guy killed Bingo and Snorky, and got in the car the splits drive. The scene cut to a grassy meadow with kids flying their kites. All of a sudden, the Fleegle man ran over the kids with the car, blood splattering everywhere. The Fleegle man also ran over a baby. “What the fuck?” I said to myself. The Fleegle man‘s appearance began to change. His skin turned pale, his eyes turned red, and his teeth grew sharper. His voice changed to a deep one, and proceeded to murder everyone in the meadow, their blood staining the grass. After Fleegle murdered them, the screen cut to static for 5 seconds and cut to a woman crying. I realized it was the mother of the baby the Fleegle man ran over. The Fleegle man came over and said, “Now the show can go on forever...” before slicing her with a hatchet. The episode then ended. Now, if you see this episode, stay the hell away from it.
