Original Script
Banana Vac Gags
"Banana Vac" is the character hanging over the door of the clubhouse, resembling a mounted moose head. Voiced by Allan Melvin in a deep gravelly voice reminiscent of Louis Armstrong, Banana Vac would periodically make a brief remark commenting on something the other characters were doing, and also told lots of bad puns. The character appeared throughout the series; here is the complete list of "Banana Vac Gags" as found in the Season 2 scripts. They are numbered B.V. #7 through B.V. #18; the first six are actually part of the "Wall Gags" script.
