It’s pretty self-explanatory. Just look at it!

Here's the oldest "just look at this banana..." post I could find through Google. Cory's banana-related posts predate the "just look at" meme, though.

All of Cory’s “just look at it posts” are actually animated gifs. You have to look at it for a really long time — like 20 minutes — and then it happens really fast, so don’t look away or you’ll miss it. But trust me, it’s totally worth it. This one’s great!

Just look at it!

None of the searches seem to go back to the first banana post, which was four or five years ago.

I was hoping someone could explain the banana just look at it thing to me. I am confused.

Battle not with steampunks in Bob Basset masks, lest ye become one yourself. When you just look at the banana, the banana just looks back at you.

i was wondering that myself, a number of posts involving bananas with just “just look at it” in the description…

I was wondering that myself. I suspect it’s some private joke between Cory and Poesy.

I am pretty sure one of the Tales of the Gold Monkey is about this banana.

Is there some reason why Cory is obsessed with pictures of bananas?

Jason and the Argonauts would have been so different with this instead of a dreary fleece.
