You guys are going based solely on names. It doesn't ask which has the name that is most intrinsically funny, it asks which FOOD is funniest. I chose pumpkin, because there's no scene or picture that cannot be made funnier by adding a pumpkin. These giant, deformed orange things with comical giant ridges and little stems from which you can pick up the pumpkin and smash it on stuff. There are so many uses for a pumpkin, even if you don't eat any of it. There's the Jack-O-Lantern, of course, and then the sight of an exploding pumpkin is always good for a laugh. I think a great scene in a war movie would be pumpkins being shot out of a cannon or a catapult. There was nothing on the list funnier than pumpkins.
