HOW2

HOW2 was an Annoying Orange subseries that started on January 27th, 2016 and spans at least 170 episodes so far. The background song in every episode is called "Birds and Bees" from Jewelbeat.com. But unlike the other shows this series relies on stock images of Pear, Orange, and occasionally other characters and it ended on September 30th, 2020 after 230 episodes.
==Focus==
Orange and Pear answer questions from people in the comments section. Pear gives useful information while Orange gives unnecessary or misleading information, but sometimes impress Pear with his points.
==Running Gags==
A very popular running gag is Orange involving TNT and exploding it to end the episode, much to Pear, yelling to stop Orange from doing it. Other running gags include Orange sometimes involving cows, giving Pear names and making puns.
