Peanut Butter Jelly Time is a flash video of an animated ‘Dancing Banana’ dancing to the annoyingly catchy song “Peanut Butter Jelly Time” by The Buckwheat Boyz. Ryan Gancenia Etrata and Kevin Flynn created the flash animation in early 2002. On March 21st, 2002, a user had posted the video on www.newgrounds.com where the clip became a part of pop culture. Then on November 20th, 2005, the meme appeared on Family Guy in the mainstream. This animation is memetic as it is a hypnotic song with repetitive lyrics that will get stuck in anyone’s head.
