Guy Nicknamed Johnny Bananas Sues Entourage Over Johnny Bananas

Don’t worry if you have no idea what that headline means. We’ll explain: The first Johnny Bananas refers to Johnny Devenanzio, a current meat head and former Real World: Key West cast member who’s made a career out of appearing on those Real World/Road Rules Challenge shows. The second Johnny Bananas is the name of Johnny Drama’s fictional animated sitcom that only exists inside the world of Entourage. And sue is what the first Johnny is threatening to do to HBO because, as he tells TMZ, Entourage’s use of the name Johnny Bananas is “in no way coincidental and is instead an attempt to capitalize on the name recognition which I’m solely responsible for creating.” Obviously, that’s ridiculous. This guy has as much name recognition as whoever makes up the stupid games on The Gauntlet. Actually, that was before this lawsuit. Now everyone’s talking about him. Sure, it’s about how dumb he is, but they’re still talking! Maybe he’s not as dumb as he seems. [Videogum]
