Background
The show features an animated talking orange called Orange, played by Dane Boedigheimer. Orange heckles other fruits or nearby animated objects, with puns and laughter. Orange lives on a kitchen counter, which he shares with his best friend Pear, a Bartlett pear also played by Boedigheimer. Despite being his friend, Pear finds Orange just as annoying as everyone else he encounters. Passion, a female passion fruit played by Justine "iJustine" Ezarik, lives in the same kitchen on another counter. Most episodes consist of Orange talking to other characters, who become annoyed and meet a gruesome end, usually by evisceration with a knife, which Orange tries to warn them about before it happens.[1]Orange has several distinctive mannerisms that make him annoying. He often starts by saying "hey (whoever)" until they get frustrated enough to respond, and will often use a play on words mentioning the object's name or appearance (i.e., in the second episode where he calls a pumpkin "plumpkin") throughout the rest of the episode. He also has annoyed people by telling bad jokes, burping, and making noises with his tongue. Orange has a braying laugh that tends to grate on people as well as an annoying voice, and he often tells the objects he annoys "you're an apple." In the latter case Orange's calling things "apples" serves a dual purpose, as he will also use the term as an insult toward someone he doesn't like or offended him (i.e. in the episode "Pain-Apple", where he told a pineapple "you really are an apple").
The earliest episodes featured Boedigheimer play the fruit/vegetable Orange was annoying, but this has since changed to include at least one guest YouTuber in every episode. These have included Bob Jenz, who played a grapefruit as well as a leprechaun that he spun off into its own series (see below), Justine Ezarik (which led to her becoming a regular cast member), and Lucas "Fred Figglehorn" Cruikshank. In the third case, Cruikshank and Boedigheimer appeared in a two episode crossover between their pages; Orange appeared in the "Fred" episode "Fred Goes Grocery Shopping!" to torture Fred while he shopped for his mother while Fred took on Orange in a contest to see who was more annoying in the episode "Annoying Orange vs. FRED!!!".
In August 2010, the Annoying Orange gained its 1,000,000 YouTube subscriber. The series was rated the most viewed web series of February and March 2010 by Mashable, with over 52 million views in March.\ In April 26, 2010, the series had over 108 million views on YouTube
