Annoying Orange (The High Fructose Adventures of Annoying Orange and mid 2014-present)

The Annoying Orange  is the titular main protagonist of the YouTube series of the same name.

Sadly, he got butchered when a TV series adaption of it, titled  The High Fructose Adventures of Annoying Orange,  came out in Cartoon Network, much like how Fred Figglehorn himself (another then-popular YouTube star) got butchered when Nickelodeon made three TV movies and a TV series adaption of it at the same time.

The High Fructose Adventures

 * 1) Right off the bat, the Annoying Orange's original web incarnation, while still a great and likable comic relief protagonist character in its own right, is a rather underdeveloped character by TV show standards, and therefore is very difficult to execute such web characters for the screen without butchering everything that made it good, as with Fred Figglehorn. But unfortunately he suffered severe flanderization under the hands of the Cartoon Network executives in order to adapt the character for the longer running time of his television adaptation, which results him to being heavily unlikable and losing all the charm he previously had in the original web series, as listed below.
 * 2) Annoying Orange in this show provides way too many fart jokes to the point where it's not even funny is more gross and annoying.
 * 3) Most of his non-gross-out jokes usually consist of poorly-conceived puns.
 * 4) His web series incarnation had a crush on Passion Fruit, but for the TV incarnation of Annoying Orange, it's vice-versa, meaning that Passion Fruit has a crush on Annoying Orange, which makes little-to-no sense whatsoever.
 * 5) His voice sucks, even if provided by Dane Boedigheimer, who voiced him in the web series as well as creating the character to begin with.

Webseries (2014-present)

 * 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 suffered from flanderization. he originally started out as a somewhat annoying, yet hilarious and friendly fruit, but nowadays, he is annoying to the point where he isn't even funny anymore, and is more of am 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 constantly ruins every single beloved story known to mankind by adding unnecessary pop culture jokes and tons of juvenile toilet humour to which he claims as "enhancing", such as making Rudolph a nudist reindeer with shaved fur, making Hansel and Gretel relatives to E.T., making tons of bad flatuence puns followed by him farting, turning Sleeping Beauty into Sleeping Booty by adding three princesses, etcetera, just to force people into watching his show.
 * 6) 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.
 * 7) 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.
 * 8) 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.
 * 9) 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.
 * 10) 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.
 * 11) Like Sam Puckett's Sam and Cat incarnation, 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.
 * 12) 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.
 * 13) 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.
 * 14) He also doesn't always listen to his fans, like how he doesn't reveal Marshmallow's gender (it’s actually revealed in "PRIDE (Marshmallow's TRUE gender!!!)" by Marshmallow themself, NOT by Orange), and how he won’t admit his feelings for Passion and freaks out over them.
 * 15) 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:
 * 16) 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.)
 * 17) In "Incognito Burrito (feat. Ownage Pranks)", he blew a Vuvuzella and caused the entire kitchen to collapse and putting his friends in danger.
 * 18) In "SKYDIVING!", he juggled Chainsaws while skydiving, even when others were around him, showing that he’s oblivious to safety first.
 * 19) 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.
 * 20) 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.
 * 21) 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.
 * 22) 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, causing him pain and misery.
 * 23) 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.
 * 24) 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).
 * 25) To make matters worse, he actually encourages people to cause trouble in his How2 videos, such as making a "hambooger", because he hates eating cows, and makes anyone abusive towards their girlfriends.
 * 26) All in all, Orange's flanderization has entirely destroyed the reputation of his character as a whole, to the point where people see him as the web series equivalent of Peter Griffin, in that both characters did irredeemable actions and went through heavy flanderization. This is to the point where people who used to like Orange now hate him and consider him as one of the worst characters in YouTube history. It's even to the point where a few fans and haters started to dislike his character as a whole, despite the fact he was likable before mid-2014.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He does have some funny moments here and there.
 * 2) His web carnation is much more funnier and likable than his TV incarnation.
 * 3) He has his heroic moments, such as using his laugh to destroy the zombie vegetables.
