BackgroundEdit

Main article: Orange

Orange's history may have began before the series debuted; a talking orange first appeared in one of Boedigheimer's videos on March 16, 2007.

The current show features Orange, an anthropomorphic orange. The first episode was released on October 9, 2009. Orange's friends include Pear, a Bartlett pear with a brotherly attitude, Passion Fruit, a female passionfruit and his crush in an alternate reality, Midget Apple, a tiny Red Delicious apple, and Marshmallow, a small childlike marshmallow as well as Midget Apple's best friend. Secondary characters include Grapefruit, a cranky, arrogant grapefruit, and Grandpa Lemon, an elderly, narcoleptic lemon with an adventurous past.

All of the characters are animated by having the actors' eyes superimposed onto the object the actor was playing. Most characters' eyes are one of their eyes duplicated. For example, Dane Boedigheimer using his own eyes and mouth to play Orange, Pear, Marshmallow, and Midget Apple, although Orange's mouth has done some modifications to have a distinctive orange tint on it.

As of July 2010, more than 704 million views hit the series. The most popular video has almost eighty million views.

CharactersEdit

Main characters Edit

Orange Edit

Main article: Orange

Orange is the main character around which the series is based. Voiced by Dane Boedigheimer, he has appeared in every episode since the start of the series on October 9, 2009, which is also his birthday. Orange has yellow teeth, grey eyes, and a very hillarious laugh. Episodes are characterized by his taunting and annoying his victims-to-be with his adolescent behavior that frequently includes burping, pestering, puns, and play-on-words. These actions often infuriate the other character to the point where they start yelling at him to shut up, only to have Orange warn them of their impending doom: evisceration with a chef's knife, a blender or other devices. He has a famous quote, which comes after someone calls him something: "No, I'm not. I'm an orange!" Boedigheimer describes the character as a composite of people in his life, saying "everyone knows somebody like him: They don't listen, they are annoying, and at the same time they are kind of lovable".

First appearance - October 9, 2009 (The Annoying Orange)

Pear Edit

Main article: Pear

Pear lives on the same kitchen counter as Orange, and the deuteragonist. He is a Bartlett pear with the same colored eyes as Orange, and despite being friends with Orange he is also annoyed by him. Pear started out wanting to die as Orange was annoying him too much, but calmed down soon later and became close with Orange.They are currently best friends, and Pear actually does somewhat annoying things with Orange, particularly on Wazzup episodes. He is a very kind and brotherly character, often trying to stop characters from losing it, trying to calm Orange down, and listening to what others have to say. He is also more intelligent that Orange, although this is very easy to be. Pear is dating Passion Fruit's twin Mandy, although the only time this has been seen was on 'Wishful Thinking'.

First appearance – October 9, 2009 (The Annoying Orange)

Passion Fruit Edit

Main article: Passion Fruit

Passion Fruit, simply called Passion by her friends, is a passionfruit. She lives on the same counter in the same kitchen as the others, having been brought into the kitchen along with Grapefruit, who later got cut up by Knife. Orange has a crush on her. Although she eventually became friends with the other fruits, Passion is still turned off by insults and scolds Pear and Orange whenever they engage in them. She often will try to settle issues and stop Orange from being annoying. She has a twin sister named Mandy (first appeared in the December 24, 2010 episode "Wishful Thinking") who is in love with Pear.

Midget Apple Edit

Main article: Midget Apple

Midget Apple is a tiny Red Delicious apple that appeared in the kitchen in the episode “Crabapple”. He is a friend of Orange, Pear, Passion and Marshmallow, but hates being called "Midget Apple". He prefers the name "Little Apple", but mostly, people simply refuse to call him by the name Midget Apple. He has the personality of a middle child, and is Marshmallow's best friend.

First appearance – August 06, 2010 (Crabapple)

Marshmallow Edit

Main article: Marshmallow

Marshmallow is a small, childlike marshmallow that Orange befriended after both of them were kidnapped by Jigsaw in Annoying Saw 2: The Annoying Death Trap. After succeeding in annoying Jigsaw, Marshmallow moved into the kitchen and shares counter space with Midget Apple. It is a recurring gag in the series that he would catch fire or suffer a misfortune similar to the other foods that Orange has annoyed, however Marshmallow seems to be unaffected by these, as he is even shown bathing in a mug of hot chocolate. Although he is very sweet and cheerful, he is very dangerous when angred. He has a squeaky voice and big eyes.

First appearance – September 24, 2010 (Annoying Saw 2: The Annoying Death Trap)

Grandpa LemonEdit

Main article: Grandpa Lemon

Grandpa Lemon first appeared in "Grandpa Lemon" on June 4, 2010. He is an elderly lemon, who is forgetful, narcoleptic, and has terrible hearing. Orange tried to annoy him, but couldn't because of Grandpa Lemon's memory loss and sleeping habit. He was sliced in half by Knife, and made part of the Frankenfruit monster in the October 29, 2010 episode "Frankenfruit". He has since become a recurring character. In some episodes, he is seen riding a motor bike, which is possibly his original occupation. He is one of the most favorite characters because he is the only one who could resist Orange's annoying him. His famous first joke when he first appeared still remains a mystery - " Why did the Porcupine cross the road?" Snore......

First appearance: June 4, 2010 (Grandpa Lemon)
