It went in your mum.
xDDDDD original joke.

But seriously, no clue. I really hope it's not reference the heavy's genitals as the "first" banana.

It's mainly because it's a consolation prize for second place in the Heavy vs Pyro community thing back during MYM.

2. Heavy got second place.

3. It recharge twice as fast as the sandvich. Which means you essentially can have 2 banana by the time you can eat another sandvich

Threads like this make me feel so old.

I guess common idioms of the english language have taken a backseat to memes.

It makes me legitimately angry that no one understands how hilarious this weapon's name is.

First off, it's literally a banana. That's the basis of the joke.

In the Meat VS Match update, the Pyro won, making the Heavy place in second. A person who is in right under someone else is a second banana. The Heavy was given a banana named the Second Banana.

Also, this is the second banana item released in the game, but that part is probably just coincidence.

You can just google "Second banana" and Google'll tell you that it's an idiom that means second place.

You are why people avoid Team Fortress 2.

Because is Heavy's consolation prize for losing to Pyro on War Update. IMO has a double lewd meaning also specially for those who speak spanish...
