Yes, you can really slip on a banana peel. Let this woman show you how.

I hope the banana did not actually do her harm.

Remember how we all thought of slipping on a banana peel as classic yet cartoonish comedic tool? Unfortunately for this woman, it became an actual thing.

Twitter user Samantha shared a video of her friend having a seemingly angry phone call on her banana phone which ends in the worst way possible.

She throws it on the ground, tries to jump on the banana to smash it, slips and crashes to the ground at the same time.

It's an amazing use of four seconds.

It all happens so fast, but I have a few questions. What was this conversation she was so realistically having that made her so realistically angry? Why couldn't she have left it at throwing the banana to the ground? Why would anyone jump on a banana with open sandals?

You have to admire her acting skills though. I bet the person on the other line was happy karma happened.

The internet was simultaneously amazed and amused:

And of course, someone had to post an Avengers reference.

It's just too easy.

But upon watching a few times, I've discovered the truth. This video looks like a tribute to the "So no head?" Vine, and just so happened to end unfortunately.

We've all learned a lesson today. If you're going to parody a popular Vine, be wary of slippery fruit.
