Teenagers Take Part in Painful #BananaPeelChallenge on Twitter
The latest crazy Twitter trend includes self-inflicted pain and embarrassment with a banana peel. Teenagers are taking part in the #BananaPeelChallenge for fun and for likes.
The trend began on March 27 after Twitter user Jason Oakes filmed his attempt at imitating the classic comedic gag of slipping on a banana peel.
On Twitter, Oakes explained that he has seen the banana peel slip in countless cartoons and wants to see how realistic it really is.
In the video, Oakes announces that he has placed a banana peel on the floor and then attempts to step on it without falling but fails.
