Annoying Orange

The Annoying Orange is an American series of YouTube videos originally created by Dane Boedigheimer (Dane Boe) and their company GagFilms (now called Annoying Orange, Inc.). The series originally started out as one video, but because of its growing popularity, Boedigheimer decided to create a series. To date, the series has a total of 12 seasons (one for each year) and more than hundreds of episodes.
The first videos were uploaded under Boedigheimer's YouTube channel daneboe, but then Boedigheimer created a channel dedicated to Orange after the sixth video was released.
Cartoon Network was involved in a lawsuit because of Annoying Orange copyright issues.
In 2014, he made a server in Minecraft called Orangecraft mc.orangecraft.net.
In 2015 or 2016 they introduced Rebecca Parham, also known as Let Me Explain Studios.
==Gaming channel==
Annoying Orange also has a gaming channel. This channel is the second and gaming channel user of Annoying Orange. Also the others characters make gameplays on Annoying Orange Gaming channel.
==History==
Orange's history may have begun before the series debuted; a talking orange first appeared in one of Boedigheimer's videos on March 16, 2007.
The actual show features the misadventures of Orange, a talking orange who lives on a kitchen counter as he annoys the food he meets with lame puns, weird noises, braying laugh, and unintelligence. The episodes usually result in the food having some form of painful death, which he tries to warn them about. Other characters include Pear, his best friend who still is annoyed by him, Passion Fruit, his love interest, Midget Apple, a tiny apple who often acts as a voice of reason with Pear, and Marshmallow, a young marshmallow with a buckload of childish interests, as well as a few other characters such as the narcissistic Grapefruit, narcoleptic Grandpa Lemon, the irritable Liam the Leperchaun, and the actual Knife.

===Main characters===
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 Dane's birthday. Orange has yellow teeth, blue-grey eyes, and a very hilarious 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 their life, saying "everyone knows somebody like him: They don't listen, they are annoying, and at the same time they are kind of lovable".

====Pear====
Pear lives on the same kitchen counter as Orange, and the deuteragonist. He is a Bartlett pear, and despite being partners with Orange he is also annoyed by him. Pear started out wanting to die as Pear was annoying his best partner too much, but calmed down soon later and became close with Orange. They are currently best partners, and Pear actually does somewhat annoying things with Orange on some occasions, particularly on Wazzup episodes. He is a kind and brotherly character, often acting as a voice of reason. He is also more intelligent that Orange. Though he is constantly annoyed by Orange, he really cares about him deep down.

====Passion Fruit====
Passion Fruit, simply called Passion by her friends, is a passion fruit. 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 and tries not to admit it. 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 has kissed Pear under the mistletoe.

====Midget Apple====
Midget Apple is a very tiny Red Delicious apple that appeared in the kitchen in the August 6, 2010 episode, “Crabapple”. He is a frenemy of Orange, Pear, Passion and Marshmallow. He prefers to be called "Little Apple". He has the personality of a middle child, and is Marshmallow's best friend.
:First appearance – August 6, 2010 (Crabapple)
:Voiced by: Dane Boedigheimer
====Marshmallow====
Marshmallow is a small, childlike marshmallow that Orange befriended after both of them were kidnapped by Jigsaw in the September 24, 2010 episode, 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 reacurring gag in the series that they 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 they are even shown bathing in a mug of hot chocolate. Although they are very sweet and cheerful, they are very dangerous when angered. A joke in FAQ's is that Marshmallow is never stated to be a boy or a girl. Marshmallow recently came out as non-binaryhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0o7jvEXGDU

====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 nature. 
:First appearance: June 4, 2010 (Grandpa Lemon)
:Voiced by: Kevin Brueck
====Grapefruit====
Grapefruit first appeared in "Passion of the Fruit" on February 19, 2010, and almost immediately became Orange's rival. He had a crush on Passion Fruit, who wasn't impressed by his flexing. He engaged in juvenile insults with Orange, much to Passion's dismay. Originally killed by Knife, he eventually returned as part of the monster in "Frankenfruit" and after that became a recurring character, often injury as a result of his arrogance and bullying nature. He is considered an anti-hero.

:Voiced by (2021-present): Jon Bailey
===Major recurring characters===
====Knife====
Knife was introduced as a kitchen tool in the first episode of the series, appearing when Orange warns others of his presence, and slicing fruits and vegetables up. However, he did not appear as a character until the October 1, 2010 episode, "No More Mr. Knife Guy". Knife is shown to be at odds with his role in the series, hating his life because of how he is used. His mortal enemy is a knife sharpener due to the pain involved. He was an antagonist of the series until in "No More Mr. Knife Guy", and is now one of the main anti-heroes of the series.
:First appearance overall: October 9, 2009 (The Annoying Orange)
:First appearance as a character: October 1, 2010 (No More Mr. Knife Guy)
:Voiced by: Kevin Nalty
==== Liam The Leprechaun ====
Liam The Leprechaun first appeared in "Luck o' the Irish" on March 12, 2010. He is a bad tempered Leprechaun who loses his pot of rupees to Orange in his first episode. He was smashed by the pot of rupees at the end of the episode, but the respawned in the Leprechaun hole. He often comes back to get revenge at Orange, which often results in failure.
