Henry Gribbohm, the New Hampshire man who lost $2,600 in life savings at a carnival game only to score a stuffed banana as consolation, may see his luck turn around.

Comedy site CollegeHumor launched a Facebook campaign Tuesday to buy back Gribbohm's banana — which sports a beanie and dreadlocks — for the full $2,600. Gribbohm lost what he claims to be his life savings over the weekend on a carnival game called Tubs of Fun.

For every Facebook Like that this CollegeHumor post gets, the site will put $0.10 towards purchasing the banana. If the post reaches 26,000 Likes, CollegeHumor will offer $2,600. If it gets 30,000 likes, the site will buy the stuffed fruit, as well as pay for the Xbox Kinect that Gribbohm was originally trying to win for his kids at the carnival.

CollegeHumor editor-in-chief Streeter Seidell said he launched the campaign because he "felt bad" for Gribbohm.

"He's now somewhat famous for being foolish at a carnival, which is something no one should be famous for," Seidell told Mashable in an email. "But this isn't exactly charity ... We want the banana — the giant, stuffed stoned reggae banana."

But others have little pity for Gribbohm, 30, with some commenters telling CollegeHumor not to "reward stupidity."

In response, Seidell told Mashable that CollegeHumor's campaign won't necessarily encourage irresponsible behavior.

"We don't want to encourage people to do anything foolish, but anyone who will spend $2,600 playing a single carnival game is not going to be encouraged or discouraged by what we do. They're going to do certain things anyway, and we all have to be okay living in a world where there are people that will do those things," he said.

"It brightened my day a little bit to hear the story ... so, in a way, it might be a good thing if more people do funny things like this."

For his part, Seidell added that he has spent $2,600 on expenses such as "rent for a 350-square-foot apartment and premium gluten-free dog food."

At the time of this writing, CollegeHumor's Facebook campaign has received 7,300 Likes.
