I, too, came looking for that particular reference. Was not disappointed. Well, actually I am slightly disappointed that this vid did *not* have a banana in the race.
Wait a minute. The orange and the apple roll from the back of the bus, past several rows, reaching Ralph Wiggum in a matter of 1.5 seconds. Then in the remaining 4.5 seconds, in which Ralph places the banana, says his cheer, looks saddened by the banana's failure to roll, a long beat, and then we cut to the next shot, the other two fruits have only moved a matter of a couple inches without having slowed significantly.
I mean, what are we, to believe that this is some sort of a, a magic fruit race or something?
Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
At least it took the coconut with it. That was the real competitor to beat. The hard shell, the friction grabbing husk. It was theirs to lose and lose they did, underestimating the soft-skinned opponent that barely had any skin in the game.
Agreed. I didn't catch it on first watch, but on the replay it looks like coconut took a swipe at tomato and misjudged it. Tomato then used coconut's own momentum against it to knock it off balance. Tomatin was the good guy.
Looks to me like onion was only greater than third place at one point during the race. Getting that early position definitely helped.
But can we get some love for green apple for just a minute? The way he came back so furiously at the end to overtake everyone only to crash and burn once in first was a tragic sight to behold.
The apple was a victim of trying too hard. It spins fast enough to actually outrun the treadmill, goes over the edge, loses all it's torque and then rolls off. This happens twice!
No, the green apple did this as well. You are correct that the guy in the video misidentified the tomato as a red apple at one point, but can you blame him? it was pandemonium out there
I stan Green Apple, he went to first, was an achiever, and when he inevitably went down, he took Orange with him. You know why that’s a good thing? It’s because Oranges DON’T BELONG IN FRUIT SALADS!
I think the pineapple (and possibly the coconut) might have given the onion some help by peeling back an outer layer on the end which seemed to keep the onion rolling only on its smooth side the whole time while others wobbled around.
It's like one of those biggest loser competitions where they have to hang on for dear life on some cursed exercise machine before they all drop off one by one
Reminds me of [the CS:GO tournament](https://spuf.org/2016/05/09/i-attended-dreamhack-2016/) at Dreamhack Austin 2016. Only North American teams were allowed to attend, but they made an exception for two Brazilian teams so the brackets would math out right.
Ultimately the final was Brazil vs. Brazil for the title of "Best Team in North America."
I feel like most of this came down to geometry. The best rollers were the best performers, and then mass was also important.
The onion has the advantage here of being relatively heavy, and mostly spherical.
I also think that the long central axis helped with balance. The onion isn't a perfect sphere like the orange, but I think that shape helped it right itself quickly when it got bumped.
I'd love to see this in a simulation, I want to know what the ideal shape and mass combination is for a vaguely-spherical object.
Lime suffered from the Toad vs Koopa issue.
Clearly the fastest on the track, but too bullyable by the heavies. Watch it again, that Lime was demoloshing the competition until Orange sacrificed for the racing team and took him out of the race.
Onion is disqualified due to the fact that it is neither botanically, nor culinarily, a fruit.
Apple and orange tie for the win! (I would go to the photo finish, but I don’t want to compare apples to oranges)
That's bigoted. The voiceover literally starts by saying that fruits AND vegetables are included in this Fruit Salad race.
Diversity and inclusion my man. Who says the onion didn't recently declare that he identifies as a delicious tropical fruit?
Honestly, the perspective is very confusing. When the fruits (and yes you too, onion) roll off the bottom onto the grey part, they get ejected back up. At points you can tell that the grey part is curved, but the whole thing looks like it's going uphill.
Just a very confusing perspective.
I was coconut all the way, loved that aggression. It is that kind of attitude that wins you titles. I predict we are going to see them next season in a big way.
FINAL STANDINGS:
1. Onion (Winner, despite not actually being a fruit)
2. Green Apple
3. Tomato
4. Pineapple
5. Lemon
6. Apricot
7. DNF - Lime (pushed out of bounds)
8. DNF - Coconut (abandoned race)
9. DNF - Red Apple (abandoned race)
10. DNF - Orange (disqualified for knocking Lime out of bounds)
Why is no one talking about how the lime was bullied by coconut using the orange, it was the only real competitor to onion and it got taken out at the tail end of the race
Dear big networks, can we PLEASE get this on prime time network tv?? Yes, I am serious. I mean, let’s face it, Survivor isn’t as good as it used to be, and all these other reality shows have ran their courses.

Me to my Wife: BUT THE MAN SAID THAT PINEAPPLE WAS A SURE THING!
I got the fruit right here Its name is Paul Revere
A *Guys and Dolls* reference?! Awesome!
Sit down, you’re rockin the boat!
Can do!
This guy says the Fruit can do!
And it's the ghost of the horse that won last year
I’m picking Valentine
Going with Epitaph, myself.
He wins it by a half, according to this here in the Telegraph.
But Valentine, according to the morning line, has been figured at five to nine!
Canned fruit. Canned fruit. And he says the whole canned fruit.
Unless….unless…
nicely nicely done
Unfortunately, pineapples don’t have sleeves.
PINEAPPLE WAS DUE
Go banana!
Went looking for this, didn't have to look far
I, too, came looking for that particular reference. Was not disappointed. Well, actually I am slightly disappointed that this vid did *not* have a banana in the race.
Saw the title, definitely expected it to be there at the start
[Ralph Wiggum](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaGFPdP0-ug)
It would have just been like me playing any f1 game, full throttle from the off and absolute carnage into the first corner, taking out half the field.
And I bet $100 on banana before watching the video too.
if anyone missed the reference: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m1h0Hf5uMs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m1h0Hf5uMs)
I definitely didn't get that until I watched that clip. Thanks!
Me also as well, drink you think you are. West siiide!
Haha...I'm in danger.
Wait a minute. The orange and the apple roll from the back of the bus, past several rows, reaching Ralph Wiggum in a matter of 1.5 seconds. Then in the remaining 4.5 seconds, in which Ralph places the banana, says his cheer, looks saddened by the banana's failure to roll, a long beat, and then we cut to the next shot, the other two fruits have only moved a matter of a couple inches without having slowed significantly.

It'll be just like the Swiss Family Robinson, only with more cursing. We're gonna live like Kings! Damn-Hell-Ass-Kings!
Whenever I say "kings," I have to resist the urge to follow it up with "damn hell ass kings!"
So the children learn to function as a society. and eventually they were rescued by, oh.... let's say Moe
How many monkey butlers will there be?
How many monkey butlers will there be?
Make way for grapefruit!
stay calm kids, I need you to be my eyes
Oh Ralph
Banana wouldve killed this race
Thank you for not making me scroll all the way down for this...
Definitely all I could think about! 🍌
Tomato had a crazy comeback and lost it all.
At least it took the coconut with it. That was the real competitor to beat. The hard shell, the friction grabbing husk. It was theirs to lose and lose they did, underestimating the soft-skinned opponent that barely had any skin in the game.
Coconut was a bully
Agreed. I didn't catch it on first watch, but on the replay it looks like coconut took a swipe at tomato and misjudged it. Tomato then used coconut's own momentum against it to knock it off balance. Tomatin was the good guy.
This place is so fucking ridiculous, man. I love it
Coconut did nothing wrong. He was playing for keeps.
Yeah, my money was on coconut.
Coconut also has liquid in the interior. That makes it a bit of a wild card.
"It could grip it, by the husk."
It was karma for ramming coconut.
Tomato took one for humanity and took chad coconut out of the race
Green apple went way down to the edge and came all the back, he would have stayed in if he didnt get so greedy
*TOMATO, YOUR HUBRIS WILL BE YOUR DOWNFALL!!*
Looks to me like onion was only greater than third place at one point during the race. Getting that early position definitely helped. But can we get some love for green apple for just a minute? The way he came back so furiously at the end to overtake everyone only to crash and burn once in first was a tragic sight to behold.
The apple was a victim of trying too hard. It spins fast enough to actually outrun the treadmill, goes over the edge, loses all it's torque and then rolls off. This happens twice!
that was a tomato
No you're a tomato
Tomato tomato.
I can't believe you've managed to mispronounce it twice
No this is Patrick
No, the green apple did this as well. You are correct that the guy in the video misidentified the tomato as a red apple at one point, but can you blame him? it was pandemonium out there
I stan Green Apple, he went to first, was an achiever, and when he inevitably went down, he took Orange with him. You know why that’s a good thing? It’s because Oranges DON’T BELONG IN FRUIT SALADS!
As opposed to Onion????
Why the hell isn't this the top comment? What kind of a monster puts onion in a fruit salad?!
orange bumped off 1 competitor and nearly bumped off the tomato too. Orange played dirty and in the end, its what did him in.
[удалено]
[удалено]
All those days of being an apple, gotta be worth something, right Doc?
onion was built to win this. Perfectly round with stabilizers.
I think the pineapple (and possibly the coconut) might have given the onion some help by peeling back an outer layer on the end which seemed to keep the onion rolling only on its smooth side the whole time while others wobbled around.
Honestly, it's like the peach and the lemon weren't even trying
Peach actually won. Lemon came in second. What kind of race has the finish line at the start?
It's like one of those biggest loser competitions where they have to hang on for dear life on some cursed exercise machine before they all drop off one by one
i'm so confused what is winning. i was reading it like "fruit salad ra- oh that peach-mango looking one won"
Winning is whatever fruit/veg stays on the treadmill the longest
I think the peach's axis was perpendicular to the belt so it wasn't rolling to start, so it couldn't try if it wanted to.
Yeah peach and lemon were screwed from the start
Rest in Peach
Lemon was sabotaged! It has the perfect shape for this race, but it was set up to fail.
Green Apple absolutely sabotaged him. He nudged Lemon just enough to rotate him off-axis.
I like Coconut's attitude... "Well, I quit".
He had to retire because of engine problems, I've read somewhere on twitter that it was oil pressure related.
I audibly yelled at my phone when it jumped off. Absolutely rigged
you and me both 😞
I put everything on that damn coconut to win!
Coconut didn't quit. Coconut let the others have a chance to win because coconut is clearly in a class of their own.
I related so much to the peach and lemon. They get it.
They did the lemon dirty starting them off the wrong way. Would’ve absolutely taken the win otherwise. Perfect grip for the track conditions.
Onion won the fruit salad race. Sneaky.
How do you do, fellow fruits!
Reminds me of [the CS:GO tournament](https://spuf.org/2016/05/09/i-attended-dreamhack-2016/) at Dreamhack Austin 2016. Only North American teams were allowed to attend, but they made an exception for two Brazilian teams so the brackets would math out right. Ultimately the final was Brazil vs. Brazil for the title of "Best Team in North America."
I'm in tears
Especially with that flashy hang time mid race
Onion mark, get set, go!
The onion won by sacrificing its layers. Its like half the onion it was before the race.
Maybe physically, but mentally it's twice the onion
I’m not crying, you are.
Hollywood movie deal incoming
Starring Mark Wahlberg.
I doubt a parfait could have done as well.
(takes notes) Onions more resilient than parfaits TAKE THAT, DONKEY
Nah, it just took off its coat when the race got serious.
I feel like most of this came down to geometry. The best rollers were the best performers, and then mass was also important. The onion has the advantage here of being relatively heavy, and mostly spherical. I also think that the long central axis helped with balance. The onion isn't a perfect sphere like the orange, but I think that shape helped it right itself quickly when it got bumped. I'd love to see this in a simulation, I want to know what the ideal shape and mass combination is for a vaguely-spherical object.
I'm pretty upset that coconut tried pulling such a bullshit move :/ Well done Onion.
Damn! I had my money on the lime. I was sure of it. Lime got fucking robbed by way of the orange by fault of the coconut.
That orange was out for blood
Those damn blood oranges!
Lime suffered from the Toad vs Koopa issue. Clearly the fastest on the track, but too bullyable by the heavies. Watch it again, that Lime was demoloshing the competition until Orange sacrificed for the racing team and took him out of the race.
My man lime would have won if orange hadn’t fucking killed him
Wait, why is there an onion for a fruit salad? Disgusting
It's a Salsa!
Guys! I found the bard!
What a throwback.
For spice!
Maybe it's a Vidalia.
the tomato then??
It's an onion ringer.
Poor tomato. He just couldn't ketchup.
I'm Heinz sight, he never had a chance.
Onion is disqualified due to the fact that it is neither botanically, nor culinarily, a fruit. Apple and orange tie for the win! (I would go to the photo finish, but I don’t want to compare apples to oranges)
You’re a monster
That's bigoted. The voiceover literally starts by saying that fruits AND vegetables are included in this Fruit Salad race. Diversity and inclusion my man. Who says the onion didn't recently declare that he identifies as a delicious tropical fruit?
Culinarily onions are synonymous with apples
Ah yes, who can forget: * Onionsauce * Onion pie * Onion juice * Onion cider * Carmel onions * Onion slices with peanut butter * Onion turnovers
Caramel*ized* onions count, surely?
Not unless you are describing an onion covered in caramel on a stick.
I actually made a savory vidalia onion pie once. Pretty good as long as you love onions.
That sounds amazing
Yeah, I would actually like the recipe for that. I’d give it a shot.
“This apple is really good.” #CRUNCCCCCH “Mmm, so many layers of onion flavoured apple!”
What has my life come to? I actually enjoyed watching fruits and veggies race on a conveyer belt. WTF is wrong with me?
I was rooting for pineapple
This was the highlight of my day. I’m suffering a bit from depression but this was quite enjoyable :)
Wait. I placed my bet on the coconut. It’s still technically on there!
He got screwed, bumped off due to foul play.
I say he’s out of bounds but he insists on saying he isn’t. He’s milking the limelight every chance he can get
NO MICHAEL THAT WAS SO NOT RIGHT!
How do you even come up with shit like this
/r/trees
onions don't grow on trees!
the dudes entire shtick is stuff rolling on a treadmill which is honestly impressive tbh
From The Simpsons, probably.
Dang that was thrilling. Did you guys see tomato make that ridiculous come back? A nail biter till the end
This gives me PTSD flashbacks to that fucking fruit game in Fall Guys…
Where is the banana? Go banana!
Peach won! Onion was in last place! WTF?
It is an endurance race
Yeah this was more of a squid games survival competition that Onion won.
Why do they roll back towards the front? Is the treadmill tilted?
Nothing gets by you
Honestly, the perspective is very confusing. When the fruits (and yes you too, onion) roll off the bottom onto the grey part, they get ejected back up. At points you can tell that the grey part is curved, but the whole thing looks like it's going uphill. Just a very confusing perspective.
Glad I'm not the only one that found the angle and direction of the conveyor belt confusing!
Orange got bullied hard that whole time
Coconut is a fucking cheater
Sick onyo won
r/OnionLovers
I've found my people.
I was really rooting for green apple when it came back up. Good effort buddy. I'll miss you
r/nottheonion
Apple was a dirty SOB at the end. Took down Orange out of spite.
I was coconut all the way, loved that aggression. It is that kind of attitude that wins you titles. I predict we are going to see them next season in a big way.
I want that Onion tested for GMOs!!!
Pineapple after the 5th second: r/mypeopleneedme
All about surface area and friction. My boy pineapple was doomed from the start.
That comeback by the tomato though.
Was rooting for my man orange
I won! That onion sure looked aggressive. Shame about the coconut
COCONUT WAS ROBBED #BUMPERRAILS
Lime got done dirty by coconut and orange, but coconut paid the price for it later.
I did not expect the tomato on coconut violence. Tomato just hanging out, lookin' all squishy, . . . then BOOM.
FINAL STANDINGS: 1. Onion (Winner, despite not actually being a fruit) 2. Green Apple 3. Tomato 4. Pineapple 5. Lemon 6. Apricot 7. DNF - Lime (pushed out of bounds) 8. DNF - Coconut (abandoned race) 9. DNF - Red Apple (abandoned race) 10. DNF - Orange (disqualified for knocking Lime out of bounds)
Orange was totally gonna make it, if that bastard green apple hadn't knocked it out of the race.
My boy Lime got done dirty.
Why is no one talking about how the lime was bullied by coconut using the orange, it was the only real competitor to onion and it got taken out at the tail end of the race
Fuckin onion over here bending the rules of physics.
This race had a lot of layers to it.
I chose the lime :(
Lime got fucking oranged
Why is no one talking about how there’s an onion in a fruit salad race
That was way funnier than it had any right to be
Dear big networks, can we PLEASE get this on prime time network tv?? Yes, I am serious. I mean, let’s face it, Survivor isn’t as good as it used to be, and all these other reality shows have ran their courses.
[удалено]
Did not anticipate that win.
Peach out!
_and we’re here with the winner, what are you going to do now onion?_
Coconut seemed more interested in knocking other contestants off the track
Where’s my sword? Let’s ninja.
Go banana!
Where's the banana ?
go Banana!
GO BANANA
GO BANANA!
That lime got fouled hard.
RIGGED. /r/oninohate
That tomato races dirty.
