The Real Reason I'm Called Melon

Here's the full melon lore.

===================================

Follow your melon:

It's honestly nice that lemon explained the origins of his name

[joshlinnett]

“Melon” is a classic British insult, and Zomby is British. It has nothing to do with Anthony’s melon-like cranium. That’s just a happy coincidence.

[andrew_gould]

now that the statute of limitations has passed, i'm glad that you are taking the time to clear the air and talk about how you ransacked my house and took the watermelons out of my fridge in 1997

[MichaelManning]

Please explain where the term “Anthony Fantano” came from

[coolusernametotally]

anthony, saying "i'm bald" only takes two thirds of a second.

[MapleMilk]

Seeing Fantano have to explain the Melon thing to every new wave of his fanbase is like a grandpa telling his grandkids the same story he told his kids

[scapegoat]

Thanks for explaining why your parents named you the way they did, mr. Melon, I was actually pretty curious as to their... "ahead of the curve" name choice, I must say

[choppitzchjopchjop]

anthony you cant just say "im the melon" repeatidly for 6 minutes straight and expect us to beleive you

[mattheweurt]

I remember telling a friend your videos were good in highschool and he said you sucked 😂 now I'm a grown ass man with a degree and a career and I'm still here, time flies. I've got to check how long I've been subbed it's got to be around 10 years now

[saeedbaig]

"Life gave me melons and I made melonade" gotta be a top 10 line Anthony's ever said 😂

[jackdonenberg]

You can’t just give it a 10/10 because it’s your name, Anthony.

[SnipeGhost]

the insult he made turned into something far bigger than anything Zomby has made 😂

[soundlessfob]

Somehow I never even questioned where the nickname came from. When I started watching Fantano and saw people saying Melon I just looked at him and thought 'They're right. That's a melon'

[WillTheSkillet]

Sometimes I feel bad about calling him melon then I remember the wrongs he has wronged

[blarghblargh]

So in a way, turns out Zomby is one of the most influential artists of our time

[jacobdonnelly]

Making a 5 minute video of you crushing Melons with your bare hands while frantically shouting "Who's the Melon!" Is certainly a choice Anthony.

[pabsg]

This flashback reminds me how glad I am that Anthony stopped calling us “his needledrops”

[HospitableSpirit]

"M​é​lonade" Is the name of a pretty solid future funk album by the artist of the same name. fun fact

[scottykevins]

Isn’t it because you have a lot of melonin in your skin

[Thejeffex]

Can't believe we finally have some Melon Lore.
