so you wanna know who the fuck these banana bread guys are?
i think the mcyt toxic yaoi/yuri poll has put a lot of attention on us bnbers (because of how hard we campaigned last round) and i wanted to make this post in case anyone was interested in checking them out!
Banana & Bread are two mcyt who share one channel together, started in 2022. they do mostly speedruns with a twist (eg sharing controls, without using a keyboard, random potion effects every minute etc.). the main appeal of them to me is that it's just two guys fucking around and having a good time! none of their speedruns are that good, all of their "speedruns" take at least an hour* (so it's not too intense if you aren't into speedrunning)
*i put an asterisk here because most of their speedruns aren't good. it is definetly worth noting that banana is an actual speedrunner, and has has 6 world records in low% and all advancements. they also have a co-op all advancements speedrun, but that one isn't very good (18+ hours), it's just a world record bc there's no other speedrun in the category. they have videos on all their speedruns if you're intrested in those!
they've got a couple of inside jokes/bits (carrot and cake, "who's that!", cursed furnace etc) but you'll get most of them through just watching their stuff. everything they have is just on youtube, and the only other place they interact with fans is through posting fanart on their instagram, so you haven't missed anything anywhere!
If you're looking for a place to start, I recommend "the kinkiest speedrun ever..." (my first video of theirs)
or if you want more toxic yaoi, "Minecraft But We Can't Jump" (trust me on this one)
both are faceless and nameless! so they just go by Banana and Bread respectively, which are actually nicknames they have had long before the channel started. which is a fun coincidence that together they make banana bread!. they have done some irl stuff ("The WORST Valentine's Dates..." might be a good one to start with), but they don't show their faces for them.
banana has been playing minecraft for ~12 years now, and is pretty good at most aspects of the game! he's built and coded 2 minecraft maps (they have videos on these too), as mentioned before had 7 total speedrun world records, and codes pretty much any twist in any speedrun they do (where relevant). bread! only got minecraft 2 years before they started the channel and so is none of those things! he's improved a lot since they started making videos but. he's just there to look pretty /j
when watching banana bread videos, i think it is VERY important to remember that they're sitting next to each other irl on the ground playing on laptops. this is especially obvious in earlier videos.
why should i care about them?
idk! they're just two silly guys having a fun time! they feel very genuine! they have such good chemistry and you can really tell that they'd be having the same banter regardless of if they were making a video. also, i don't think they care about getting demonitised or anything they do not give a fuck if they're not family friendly. they swear and make nsfw jokes all the time which is very refreshing in mcyt. idk they're genuine feel and scuffed vibe was really refreshing the first time i watched their stuff and really helped me love mcyt again.
in both their scripted manhut bts and their QnA video they bring up how a lot of people ask if they're dating or not, and then actively avoid answering the question. they're just queerbaiting us on purpose now :( i love it though it's fantastic. yes its toxic <3
anyway go watch banana bread!!!!
