1. Ok guys, I will now tape an apple on the wall, wish me luck!

2. dumbest art in history

3. "Art"

4. I can make this at home

5. 1$

6. What wrong with art nowday?

7. it's genius because you make the dumbest art ever…. it gets people talking and markets itself… and therefore increases it's value… after the first one sells the price is set and increases from there. Now the gimmick is dead so you can't repeat it. That's art

8. Humans are evolving backwards

9. I have a banana up my ass while watching this. Google me (Images) manuelbranco mbmanray 🤖💀📱 happy holidays

10. I'm a "Fake Artist" yet have never been invited. WTF! Google me (Images) manuelbranco mbmanray 🤖💀📱

16. What if it's actually Yes Theory's plan

17. I stared my business 10 years ago, half of my employees have past away of to old to do the work anymore. I have been looking for creative people that can see knitting and crochet that can create new ideal for the past two years I have been looking and I can't find any young people that know how to use a needle and thread.

18. This is scary,maybe we need to work on a cure for brain dysfunction. It's a banana and duct tape. I don't have any bananas but I have some grapes and Scott tape how much? Starting price $250.

19. Thats plain dumb

20. It's official. America has become the stupidest, shallowest place on this dying planet!

21. peiple are do stupid to pay 120k for a half dollar banana

22. The irony is that artist wouldn't even have been interviewed if it wasn't for that banana so it's factual dishonest to say it's somehow hurting other artist work.

23. Human species is the stupidest on earth

24. Not art – more like trash

25. After Trump been elected by Americans as their president, no stupidity surprises me anymore. So this art thing didn’t come as a surprise either.

26. This is a disservice to anyone who actually creates art that takes work, time, and has legitimate value to it.

27. With a show of hands, who believes this was a genuine transaction for "art" and has absolutely nothing to do with money laundering?

28. John Cage solo 36 aka eatting a apple decades ago , Duchamp in 1917…honestly nothing new

29. Why doesn’t somebody tape the orange toddlers mouth shut? Now THAT would be a piece of art! Lol

30. I swear to God i'm so sick and tired of stupid ignorant people in the United States. These fucks will do anything to get a like on their instagram account. They are "Like" whores. From the ridiculousness of people supporting trump to people like these lining up to take a picture with a fucking banana. These people have no brains and can't think for themselves. It's actually very sad.

31. Perverse! spot on brother…perverse and boring

32. I can go to walmart buy ducktape and banana for less than 12 $. That ain't art. Art is not a banana duck taped to the wall. That's mu own view. U can think its art. I dont care.

33. if stupid or "WTF really" and "that what get pass as art these days" get people talking. i guess it worked

34. 90% of them don't even care about art in general. They are there for the instagram likes. Whatever is trending, theyll be there.

35. I don’t know what is worst, the banana or the egg? 😐 society i am confused…

36. You can throw up anything on the wall and call it art.
    I don't mind that.
    What I do mind and hate is that just one artist got all the press.
    There are thousands of great artists who get NO press. And that part is shameful.

37. Some people say ART can be Pretentious.
    Those people are Right.
    LOL

38. If you think thats good you should see this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8UcxnCapFo

39. why didn't they talk about what was written on the wall when someone took the banana off?

40. You know what that is? A big slap on the face of Da Vinci, Picasso, Rembrandt, Michangelo….

41. This is not art and it's not funny.

42. My interpretation: trying to save deteriorating world

43. Weird rich ppl as usual make fools of themselves.

44. There's something to be said about moving to a cabin in the wilderness cutoff from society.

45. Freaking ridiculous!

46. They ignored the Epstein didn’t kill himself meme that was written up and eventually covered up by security guards, bullshit media at it once again

47. I hope that banana was insured. Geez.. so silly.
