We need a monkey-with-a-bazooka smiley to shoot that stupid banana in the eye.
Watching ladies impersonate a dancing banana may not be so bad, though. At least that banana contributed something to humanity.

With IE its possible to disable animated gifs in which case the banana just stands there but I was never able to figure out how to do that with Firefox.

Johnny Quest has a BABY ???? What is the world of cartoons coming to? What is next - has Hadji turned into a middle aged manager of a sweat shop?

You can do it this way in IE:
-> Tools
-> Internet Options
-> Advanced
-> Multimedia
-> (Uncheck) Play animations in web pages
The only thing worse that a dancing banana is a singing, dancing hamster! :D
I also use the Adblock in Firefox to do it. Adblock is great because you can suppress the animated banner ads. Sorry, but I suppressed the ones on WB, too.

Hmm... I always hear this song (http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/badgerphone.php) when I see the dancing banana...

yeah it was that animated banner ad on WB that caused me to get Adblock to begin with but being able to selectively kill the Banana was especially nice
lately this song has come to mind:
YES! WE HAVE NO BANANAS
by Frank Silver and Irving Cohn (Ritzelle also credited on some issues)
as sung by Billy Murray, Al Bernard, Billy Jones, and William West
There's a fruit store on our street
It's run by a Greek.
And he keeps good things to eat
But you should hear him speak!
When you ask him anything, he never answers "no".
He just "yes"es you to death, and as he takes your dough
He tells you
"Yes, we have no bananas
We have-a no bananas today.
We've string beans, and onions
Cabashes, and scallions,
And all sorts of fruit and say
We have an old fashioned tomato
A Long Island potato
But yes, we have no bananas.
We have no bananas today."
Business got so good for him that he wrote home today,
"Send me Pete and Nick and Jim; I need help right away."
When he got them in the store, there was fun, you bet.
Someone asked for "sparrow grass" and then the whole quartet
All answered
"Yes, we have no bananas
We have-a no bananas today.
Just try those coconuts
Those wall-nuts and doughnuts
There ain't many nuts like they.
We'll sell you two kinds of red herring,
Dark brown, and ball-bearing.
But yes, we have no bananas
We have no bananas today."
The new English "clark":
Yes, we are very sorry to inform you
That we are entirely out of the fruit in question
The afore-mentioned vegetable
Bearing the cognomen "Banana".
We might induce you to accept a substitute less desirable,
But that is not the policy at this internationally famous
green grocery.
I should say not. No no no no no no no.
But may we suggest that you sample our five o'clock tea
Which we feel certain will tempt your pallet?
However we regret that after a diligent search
Of the premises
By our entire staff
We can positively affirm without fear of contradiction
That our raspberries are delicious; really delicious
Very delicious
But we have no bananas today.
Yes, we gotta no banana
No banana
We gotta no banana today.
I sella you no banana.
Hey, Mary Anna, you gotta no banana?
Why this man, he no believe-a what I say.
Now whatta you want mister?
You wanna buy twelve for a quarter?
Yes, a quarter.
Well, just one look, I'm gonna call for my daughter.
Hey, Mary Anna
You gotta piana
Yes, banana, no
No, yes, no bananas today
We gotta no bananas.
Yes, we gotta no bananas today.
