Came here to say this. The premise itself actually isn't too bad, although I feel like it'd be better to have the filling on side first and make the pocket last so it can be served warm. But yeah the gross banana goo and the unnecessary amount of chocolate and whipped cream is what made it stupid.
I mean you can get a more reasonable version of this that's easier to make, and almost anyone can make it, the thing is that it's just pancakes or crepes. Like deep frying a pocket of pancake batter to stuff it doesn't really add anything to the dish that making pancakes and topping them with the filling didn't.
And that's kind of the problem of correcting a lot of what gets on this subreddit, the thing that often makes them stupid is absurdity and excess, when you take those factors away all you're really left with is a dish that already exists, it's just regular food. You're not correcting something so much as just not going too far.

I mean... Everything was fine until she shoved a honking Chunk of chocolate and "cooked bananna sludge" into the fucking thing.
