Characters

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (September 2012)
  • Orange (voiced by Dane Boedigheimer) - The main protagonist of the series. He is best friends with Pear, Midget Apple, Passion Fruit, and Marshmallow. He is really annoying (as is mentioned by his name), often driving the objects of annoyance to madness. His ways of annoyance are puns, the motorboat, and annoying repetitive noises.
  • Pear (voiced by Dane Boedigheimer) - The main deuteragonist of the series. He is Orange's sidekick and best friend. In some episodes, Pear can be smart.
  • Passion Fruit (voiced by Justine Ezarik) - Orange's love interest. She is normally called 'Passion', and doesn't know that Orange loves her.
  • Midget Apple (voiced by Dane Boedigheimer) - Another friend of Orange and Pear. He dislikes being called 'Midget Apple' as he prefers the name 'Little Apple'.
  • Marshmallow (voiced by Dane Boedigheimer) - A beloved marshmallow who loves everything, and best friend of Midget Apple. He often has dark thoughts and says things about violence, destruction, and blood.
  • Grapefruit (voiced by Robert Jennings) is the main anti-hero of the series. He's always a jerk to all the fruits.
  • Grandpa Lemon (voiced by Kevin Brueck) is an eldery, forgetful and sleepy lemon.
  • Apple (voiced by Harland Williams) is another friend of the gang, an apple. He'll get bruised, but sometimes obviously gets worse on occasion. He's offended by the fact Orange uses the word apple as an insult.
  • Nerville (played by Toby Turner) is the gang's human friend who looks after the gang and owns a market. He has to do all the chores, because he's the only one with hands.
  • Coconut (voiced by Tom Kenny) is a reoccurring coconut who normally makes cameos. He's not the brightest friut, but he's strong.

Reception

A sneak peek was aired on May 28, 2012, and the series officially premiered on June 11, 2012 as Television's #1 Telecast of the Day Among Boys 6-11. In its first two weeks, the show averaged nearly 2.5 million viewers.

Despite the show success, the Annoying Orange has received mixed response from critics. The show has been spotlighted by some critics as an example of the decline in television quality in the recent trend of broadcasted adaptions of web shows, but criticism focused on the show's characters, storyline, its usage of celebrity guest stars and the episode concepts.

A review by Common Sense Media reviewer Lien Murakami noted that the show's "Name calling, rude humor will delight tweens, not parents." Curt Wagner thought that the show was "just as obnoxious as the title claims", who also criticized the bad puns and "other kitchen/supermarket/anywhere-they-roam carnage".
