The Annoying Orange is an American comedy web series created by former Minnesota film student and MTV production assistant Dane Boedigheimer in 2009. It stars its creator as an anthropomorphic orange who annoys other fruits, vegetables, and various other objects by using jokes, which are sometimes crude. As of May 26, 2017[update], 437 episodes of The Annoying Orange have been released.
Despite the show's negative critical reception, the show's popularity after its first episode led to it becoming the subject of a TV series, a video game, a range of toys and a T-shirt line. Other accessories, such as costumes of the series' characters, have also appeared on the market for the company.
Orange's conscience (a Devil Orange and an Angel Orange) try to help him impress Cucumber, the coolest food in the kitchen.
Orange meets a crabapple (Ray William Johnson) with a surly demeanor, as well as Midget Apple, a very small apple who prefers to be called "Little Apple."
A bonsai tree (voiced by Rivers Cuomo) and a party platter (voiced by the other members of Weezer) join Orange, Pear, and Midget Apple for another variation of the Budweiser commercial.
Jigsaw returns and tries to recruit Orange as his apprentice so he can annoy his next victim, a marshmallow, to death. However, the plan backfires when Marshmallow becomes a friend of Orange's.
After a brief argument with a root of ginger over whether or not he has a soul, Orange and Pear meet Knife (who has just chopped Ginger up), who discusses the difficulty of his life while Pear attempts to properly use a Ouija board. In the end, Knife reveals his greatest fear: a knife sharpener.
