The funniest thing would be if the creator was there, with a huge smile in their face, going "YOU! YOU GET IT!!!"

It might be noted that this is not the first time Comedian has been eaten, although I don't know if this is the same "edition".
The piece, designed in three editions, isn't just a single sculpture but a concept with a certificate of authenticity and instructions for its display, which I think freely allows for the replacement of the banana. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comedian_(artwork)
Wait, this isn't The Onion?
No, but it could be in an artist decides to tape an onion to a wall.
Many years ago I read of a similar incident. An artist used 'trash as a form of art', but the exhibition ended up being thrown in the bin after the museum’s cleaners decided that it must be rubbish.
As so many things, art is in the eye of the beholder :-)
The person who ate the banana must have been like: "Ohh, banana, yummy yummy"
