About the Show

This show follows the adventures of Orange and his fruit friends. They live on a fruit stand in a supermarket called "Daneboe's." This name is a nod to the show's creator, Dane Boedigheimer. In the original YouTube series, the fruits lived in Dane Boedigheimer's kitchen.

A human character named Nerville, played by Toby Turner, works at the supermarket. He is the only human who can talk to the fruits. Other humans just think he's talking to himself!

Main Characters

Here are the main characters you'll meet in the show:

  • Orange (voiced by Dane Boedigheimer) – He's the main character. Orange loves to annoy everyone with silly jokes and puns. Even though he can be a bit much, he's usually kind-hearted. His boredom often leads his friends into wild adventures.
  • Pear (voiced by Dane Boedigheimer) – Pear is Orange's best friend. He often tries to be the voice of reason among the fruit gang.
  • Passion Fruit (voiced by Justine Ezarik) – Everyone calls her "Passion." She's sweet, practical, and smart. She has a secret crush on Orange, but he sometimes doesn't even notice!
  • Midget Apple (voiced by Dane Boedigheimer) – He's a small apple with a big personality. He really prefers to be called "Little Apple." It's a running joke that he always corrects anyone who calls him "Midget Apple."
  • Marshmallow (voiced by Dane Boedigheimer) – Marshmallow is a super cute and always happy marshmallow. He's cheerful no matter what happens.
  • Grapefruit (voiced by Robert Jennings) – Grapefruit is a big, strong fruit who thinks he's in charge. He believes he's competing with Orange for Passion Fruit's attention, but she's not interested in him.
  • Apple (voiced by Harland Williams) – Apple is often worried and negative. He usually avoids Orange's adventures because he's afraid of getting hurt. But ironically, he often ends up in trouble even when he stays behind. He often gets "killed" in funny ways, similar to Kenny from South Park.
  • Grandpa Lemon (voiced by Kevin Brueck) – Grandpa Lemon is the oldest and wisest fruit on the stand, though he can be a bit confused. He acts like everyone's grandpa and often falls asleep while talking.
  • Nerville (played by Toby Turner) – Nerville works at Daneboe's Fruit Store. He's the only human who can understand the fruits, and he's a good friend to them.

Other Characters

  • Coconut (voiced by Tom Kenny) – Coconut is friendly but not very smart. He's strong and sometimes helps the Fruit Gang.
  • Peach (voiced by Felicia Day) – Another member of the Fruit Gang who often appears in the background.
  • Broccoli Alien Overlord (voiced by Rob Paulsen) – This evil alien broccoli speaks with a British accent. He wants to take over Earth and be better than all fruits. Later, he mainly focuses on destroying the Fruit Cart.
  • Guava (voiced by Tom Kenny) – A member of the Fruit Gang.
  • Ginger (voiced by Felicia Day) – An organic ginger root who likes Pear.
  • Elderly Banana (voiced by Tom Sheppard) – A very old banana who tells scary stories to the Fruit Gang.
  • Big Rock Candy Monster (voiced by John DiMaggio) – A monster made of rock candy from the planet Marshmalia. He's mad at marshmallows and wants revenge. He became a recurring character and even appeared in an Annoying Orange YouTube video.

Why the Show Ended

The show was canceled partly because the studio that helped make it, Collective Digital Studio, closed its film and TV department. This happened because Collective was bought by another company. Dane Boedigheimer confirmed the show's cancellation in December 2014.
