Just look at it.

Banana Dalek! (Thanks Darkfynne!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    Blasphemy, blasphemy I say!
    The dalek master will smote you down. May the spirit of Terry Nation flatten your car battery when its snowing. You have not heard the last of this :)

    Some people have entirely too much time on their hands.

    • Jamie Sue

      There’s never enough time for Daleks or bananas.

  • Anonymous

    This is really fruity.

    • Antinous / Moderator

      We prefer the term ethylenacious.

  • pjcamp

    And there I thought you couldn’t make a Dalek more ridiculous than giving it a toilet plunger for a hand.

    Hola! Meet its Cuban cousin, the Plantain Dalek

    Daleks are my cross to bear.

    Every man I’ve ever loved has loved Doctor Who (almost?) as much as me.

    This includes my best friends.

    My position on this is “Davros sucks!”

    Is that a Dalek in pajama’s coming down my stairs?

  • lercio

    You can’t beat a good mashup, especailly with bananas.

  • Lobster

    Resistance is fruitile.

  • babasko

    Now, that is one scary looking banana.

  • wsiebler

    Delicious and dangerous. Anyone for a Dalek smoothie?

    • Felton / Moderator

      How about a Dalek daiquiri?

  • Anonymous

    a great source of potassium and untimely DOOM

  • GuyInMilwaukee

    That is just wrong. Is nothing sacred anymore?
    Is nothing free from mockery from Cory’s banana obsession?
    It looks delicious however.

  • LOLvis

    Hello, internets? I’d like to order a Doctor Who / Bananaphone mashup, please.

    Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring… EXTERMINATE!

  • Blinde Schildpad

    Oh Cory, you so crazy.

  • Robotech_Master

    Better than a pro-ana Dalek. (“E-MA-CI-ATE! E-MA-CI-ATE!”)

  • thebelgianpanda

    Cory, I may have a slightly discolored nose, but this is perhaps one of my favorite memes of all time.

  • Anonymous

    OMG, looks like the Dalek’s have infected our “Food Supply”… lol! ;)

  • chgoliz

    I’m Dalek-a Banana, and I’m here to say….

  • aixwiz

    Now that’s a Dalek with real appeal!

    Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! …Banana Dalek!

  • penguinchris

    The sad thing is, this is better than the actual new Dalek design used last season!

    • SteveT

      You’re not alone in thinking that.
      Both myself and my brother had the same thoughts on seeing the new versions: Since when were Daleks made from old Nissan dashboards?
      And for the record new Dalek, yes – your arse does look big in that!
      I thought the previous version (a.k.a. the ‘bling’ Dalek) was a long awaited triumph; but these new ones just suck. I guess some folks don’t realise that just because you _can_ change something doesn’t mean you _should_.

    • rebdav

      The new-new 2010 Daleks available in the same colors as the mini are pretty much like the old city of the Daleks colors if I remember correctly.

  • Felton / Moderator

    It’ll be an interesting day when the banana Daleks invade the Planet of the Apes.

    Knock, Knock.
    Who’s there?
    Banana.
    Banana who?
    EXTERMINATE!

    You can tell this Dalek’s about to go bad — look at the spots.

  • teufelsdroch

    Yes, but will it blend?

    That’s actually from a story Russell T. Davies was going to have in Series 5, but thankfully he left the show first.
