For seemingly my entire childhood I was not interested in Sports Illustrated magazine for the photos or the articles. I was fascinated in the never ending barrage of commercials that promised your paid subscription would come with something a little extra. A really crappy plastic telephone in the shape of a football. A football phone. I wanted it so badly. I had no interest in football… but a football phone? Now you have my attention!

Looks like Agent 13 got demoted to grocery stores and Biff got smart.
Football phone? Damn it. That reminds me of Garth Algar getting a Sports Illustrated phone in Wayne’s World 2.
Ring ring ring ring ring ring…
BANANA PHONE
d00d i want a banana phone.
Looks like someone’s already made the Bananaphone joke. Damn 😀
Sorry, I can’t hear you. I have a banana phone in my ear.
Yup. First thought through my head was “Bananaphone.” I know I stood no chance of being first with it, though.
Daww man some body already made the banana phone joke. oh well..

When I was younger, I always wanted the bowl of plastic fruit that had removable grapes. The grapes were the actual phone.
Ring, ring…
Who’s there?
Banana.
Don’t bananas ever knock anymore?
i once used a banana phone the guy i was talking to gave me the slip
BANANAPHONE–the only phone endorsed by the Fruit of the Loom guys
OMG it’s the BANANA PHONE!!! 😀
Bananaphone now available in clusters
I felt the same way about some nature magazine. They always came with these great tiger posters!
I must say, I’m surprised it took us three comments to reach the inevitable Bananaphone reference.
…
It grows in bunches, I’ve got my hunches…
The Duck Has Spoken.
It’s the best. Beats the rest. Cellular! Modular! Interactive-odular!
Reminds me that a lot of the people I am speaking to make me feel as if I’m addressing a bunch of bananas.
@Gamegeneral – Well-worded reference FTW!

I’m actually surprised anyone thought of charlie.
It comes in bunches…
We had a duck phone. It was a fun novelty, but honestly it wasn’t a good phone. The part it sat in wasn’t connected to the actual phone part, so the actual phone part had the “hang up” button on it, and you would hang up the phone if you set it down or leaned on it wrong.
BUT! Instead of ringing, it would quack. And THAT was pretty awesome!
