The Annoying Orange is a series of videos hosted on YouTube and Blip.tv, involving a talking orange who is annoying.
It was created by Dane Boedigheimer, who had, along with his company Gagfilms, previously made several videos about talking food, including some for JibJab.
The show had an immense and unexpected popularity, with his first video reaching several million views. After noticing what a hit his creation turned to be, Daneboe started posting new videos more regularly, and at present a new episode is out every Friday. There's also a Spin-Off starring the Transplanted character Liam the Leprechaun. Cartoon Network has picked up an Annoying Orange TV series, The High Fructose Adventures of Annoying Orange, which aired the episode "Marshmalia" as a sneak peek on May 28, 2012 and will officially premiere with the episode "Captain Blood Orange" on June 11, 2012. There's even an Annoying Orange chatbot [dead link] . Lastly, there's a Licensed iOS Game, The Annoying Orange Presents Kitchen Carnage/The Annoying Orange Presents Kitchen Carnage HD. However, public reception is mixed. While most commenters on the channel seem to love the character, others consider him to be just annoying or simply unfunny. Which is, y'know, why it exists.

- If you turn on the Closed Captions on Dr. Bananas, at around 0:18 they read "Hey, something [indistinct] is going on here." (The missing word is "shady.")
