The Annoying Orange was created by Dane Boedigheimer, also known online as DaneBoe. He is an American internet personality, animator, writer, and filmmaker who created the popular web series. The concept of Annoying Orange originated from his previous talking food videos and puns. The original video was going to be titled "The Annoying Apple," but he chose an orange instead because it was easier to animate and more visible. The series started as a single video but became a full-time series due to its popularity, with the Annoying Orange YouTube channel officially created on January 31, 2010.
