Mr. Banana

Mr. Banana is the fourth spirit head at the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. Similarly to the other Spirit Heads, the person chosen to fill the role is selected during a Godiva Week competition.

Established in 2002, this respected and sought after position is chosen from a pool of participants who apply and are selected to compete to be crowned Mr. Banana. Historically, the Mr. Banana competition had the largest audience of the spirit head competitions, though after the events of a global pandemic in 2020, the competition was placed on hold. Due to the nature of the competition, it was unable to be held remotely.

Following the return of in-person classes in 2021, the Mr. Banana competition was resumed and, despite Godiva week 2T1 being held online, several generations of previous Mr. Bananas held the competition in person while following social distancing procedures and enforcing frequent hand washing.

In current times, the Mr. Banana competition has had trouble recovering after the pandemic---it is not as well attended as it once was, especially compared to the other Spirit Head competitions. While there has been discussion regarding ending the competition for good due to lower audience attendance in recent years, there is a small but devoted group of students insisting on keeping this tradition alive, in the hopes of one day restoring the Mr. Banana competition to its former size and glory.

The holder of the title of Mr. Banana must insert a banana into their asshole on command for any Skuligan who yells "Mr. Banana".
