The Annoying Orange or most commonly known as Orange, is a fictional character created and voiced by Dane Boedigheimer. He used to be a good character on YouTube, especially when compared to his TV counterpart. Sadly, since mid-2014, he has been horribly flanderized.

Why He Sucks Now

 * 1) His character in particular hit a heavy flanderization compared to all the other characters in The Annoying Orange (in which most were only slightly flanderized) and (arguably) suffered one of the worst flanderizations in any piece of media; he originally started out as an annoying and somewhat dimwitted, yet hilarious and friendly fruit, but nowadays, he is shown to be a stupid, rude, crude, moronic, short-tempered, immature, stubborn, selfish, reckless, egotistical, and argumentative person who causes misery to a great deal of people around him and rarely feels affectionate towards his friends, especially Pear, and even with Passion Fruit, who he has shown to freak out whenever someone mentions his crush on her, meaning he never wants to show his feelings.
 * 2) He has lost all of the original personality and charm he had in the prior years 2009-2013 (and to a lesser extent, early 2014) and is yet to see the light of redemption though it varies whether he was in character or not in early 2014.
 * 3) Most of his time is spent with his challenges, overdoing his comedy and going wherever he wants, doing whatever he and his fans want, and costing thousands of dollars of damage with his absent minded or crazy tomfoolery. He has been willing to do much more for his fans than he has for his friends as well.
 * 4) Another example of his negative aspects is how terrible of a love interest he is to his friend, Passion Fruit. Orange almost always takes her for granted, despite him being considerably lucky to have her due to the fact that Passion Fruit was the first fruit that’s actually kind to Orange, is very attractive and has had the affection of several others around her who are arguably better people than Orange. There have been more than enough instances to show Orange has been neglecting his feelings for Passion, and all just because he doesn’t want his fans to find out and embarrass him. This led to Passion dating GG for a short time (who by the way, isn’t any better than Orange).
 * 5) He is also shown to be an absolutely manipulative, atrocious, and awful friend, demeaning, demoralizing, pranking and downright abusing his friends, especially Pear. In fact, Orange actually let fans torture Pear, saying that he would rather please his fans than helping his friends. Along with this, he openly admitted to everyone that he likes to make fun of his friends, simply because they didn't do anything or weren't entertaining. However, there have been moments in other episodes where Orange has been there for his friends, having good times with them, getting some laughs, and even taking them to fun amusement parks or parties.
 * 6) He has murdered several innocent people for no reason or second thought including children  food and elderly food. After he does this he usually laughs or forgets about it, and usually goes unpunished for this, except for the time he had brought knife to chop up Apple, but it ended up being in Apple’s favor when he got through all the rounds in the Hole in the Wall Challenge, and Orange gets his comeuppance in the last round when he gets knocked off into the water, but he still shows no remorse for what he has done.
 * 7) Speaking of bringing people to kill fruits, he's also committed serval acts of terrorism, like that time he had Little Apple and Grapefruit on a lie detector, and even enjoyed the torture Grapefruit was receiving, or that time he set him and Pear on another lie detector, and also enjoyed the torture Pear was receiving.
 * 8) He is frequently very cruel to others such as when he attacked the announcer over talking about his crush on Passion, when he throw dangerous things at a living Target logo and when he slimed a living Brain. Even his friends aren’t safe from Orange’s cruelty, as in one episode, Orange whipped his friends using a whip, and he changes Grapefruit’s voice to gruff and mean and then destroyed Dr. Banana’s voice changing remote.
 * 9) Hypocrisy: He always hates it whenever people try to hurt Pear, which is understandable, yet he does the same exact thing but it's even worse than everyone else does. Even Orange’s sister, Sis, and GG of all characters never physically hurt Pear.
 * 10) Like Sam Puckett, his jokes and humor has gone from being enjoyable and actually funny to being annoying, and sometimes outright unlikable since mid-2014, though Orange became far less likable than Sam.
 * 11) He often drops stuff on Pear, some of which are dangerous, and even if the stuff isn’t that dangerous, he drops more than a few, like 10,000 or above, which causes Pear serous pain, which is illegal and a serious crime, yet he always gets away with it and gets no comeuppance, making him a Karma Houdini.
 * 12) Whenever anyone, like his friends for example, calls out Orange because he's done a lot of worse things, Orange either ignores or interrupts them and acts like it was no big deal, which shows that Orange cannot handle or understand criticism.
 * 13) He also doesn’t always listen to his fans, like how he doesn’t reveal Marshmallow’s gender (it’s actually revealed in Ask Orange #68: Who Let the Burps Out?! by a comment, NOT by Orange), and how he won’t admit his feelings for Passion and freaks out over them.
 * 14) Orange has made tons of irredeemable acts so much, it's so noticeable to see how badly butchered he was, with the Ask Orange episodes being arguably the worst offenders. Other examples include:
 * 15) * He destroyed the entire house he and his friends live in during "ORANGE ALONE", which is wrong on so many levels! (despite unintentionally destroying it due to trying to fend off Grapefruit and his criminal friend who were trying to rob the house.)
 * 16) * In "Incognito Burrito (feat. Ownage Pranks)", he blew a Vuvuzella and caused the entire kitchen to collapse and putting his friends in danger.
 * 17) * In "SKYDIVING!", he juggled Chainsaws while skydiving, even when others were around him, showing that he’s oblivious to safety first.
 * 18) * In "Electrified Orange!", he used up way too much electricity by using too many electronic things and caused the power to go out. He did get some comeuppance by getting electrocuted as the power was going out, though. Also, using up the power while Pete the Pickle was trying to fix it, caused the power to go crazy and electrocute Pete to death.
 * 19) * In "High Score in Guac-a-Mole!", he wacked a bunch of Guacamoles in a very mean-spirited game, just for fun. He does get his comeuppance when he becomes the Guac-a-Mole, and he gets wacked himself, though. Also, he later played air hockey with Pear as the puck, pucking him around the air hockey board.
 * 20) * In "7 Second Challenge!", he took out a purple gear out of the fridge, which kept the fridge standing, so it caused the fridge to tip and crash onto the ground, breaking it.
 * 21) * In "Boyfriend Does My Makeup Challenge!", even if GG was a jerk, that didn’t mean Orange should ignore him and not leave just because Orange wanted to be in a video, showing he can’t handle anyone taking his spotlight despite being many videos WITHOUT Orange appearing at all. Also, he horribly puts make-up very wrongly on Grapefruit, cashing him pain and misery.
 * 22) * In "Zoom Call!", he constantly annoys Pear, and ignores being banned just so he could stay in the chat, another example of him not being able to handle being kicked out of the video, and eventually causing Pear to end the meeting in an understandable rage.
 * 23) When he's not unlikable, he can often be a butt monkey whenever his fans want Orange to suffer (the short "Surprise Airbag" is arguably the worst offender).
 * 24) His voice became more annoyingly high-pitched and just more of something just for kids, which is what makes him even more annoying, despite being voiced by Dane Boedigheimer.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) In the early years of The Annoying Orange, Orange was just an acceptable annoying and somewhat dim-witted, but also a very charming, funny and friendly fruit that always meant well and was very caring to his friends, including Pear, which makes his flanderization much sadder.
 * 2) To be fair, him doing what his fans ask him is at least being good to his fan service and subscribers of his channel, pleasing his fans, even if some actions he does are cruel.
 * 3) There are funny moments with him sometimes like this.
 * 4) He is sometimes likable in some episodes and he can be seen bonding with his friends.
 * 5) * He also has a good bond with his sister, Sis.
 * 6) * He can still be entertaining in his gaming videos over on the AO Gaming channel.
 * 7) His voice can be tolerable sometimes.
 * 8) Sometimes, he receives comeuppance for his sinful deeds and shows remorse, like when he waited too long to tell Passion about his feelings and lost his chance when she dated GG for a short time.
 * 9) * At times he tried to fix his mistakes, for example when he commanded Google, Alex and Siri, only to backfire when they turn against him and the other fruits.
 * 10) In more recent years, he began connecting with Passion Fruit, thus his freaking out over revealing his feelings to her began to dial down.
 * 11) * His hiding his feelings for her finally stopped in "Ask Orange #62 - Orange Goes Super Saiyan", after he saves her from GG, and admitted his love to her, which was heartwarming (even if it was by showing TNT).
 * 12) Nowadays, he can still do heroic deeds, from time to time such as saving Passion from GG, saving Pear from a knife attack and getting his Orange peel cut off in the process, defeating Creepy Pasta and saving his friends, etc.
 * 13) He has admitted on occasions that he does deeply love and care for his family and friends, he just doesn't show it as much as he should.
 * 14) * In "Deadline At Daneco!", he actually cares about the humans and was horrified that they were killed (even if it was all a dream, but it shows he has some respect for humans).
 * 15) * He hates whenever someone picks on his best friend, Pear, despite doing the same.
 * 16) * In "Gaming Grape", he joined his friends and Grape on laughing at Grape’s jerk brother, Game Ball, after he lost to Grape and doing the bet Game Ball set if Grape would win, calling him Turkey Burger.
 * 17) * In "BOYZ N BERRY!", he and Pear accompany Sis and her friends to make sure they stay safe, and tried to replace Berry (who was absent) so he can keep the concert going for his sister.
 * 18) * In "Poppyseed!", he spit out a living seed that kept Poppy Seed distracted, and to help his friends out.
 * 19) * In "Hug a Cactus!", he helped Huggy the Cactus find the perfect girl to hug without getting bothered and hurt by his cactus spikes.
 * 20) In "Fruit Your Own Adventure", he gives you a choice on what he should do to save Apple, and if you mess up and the thing he does is wrong, then you get a chance to redo it again until you get the good ending. This is not only refreshing to have Orange help Apple, but this is also one of Orange’s best moments of his character, as you help Orange do the right thing. It’s pretty interesting to have the viewer make the character likable again for an episode. We can’t say the same thing for other characters that got flandierzed, like, let’s say, Peter Griffin.
