History

Know Your Meme’s community-researched entry dates the first Annoying Orange upload on daneboe to October 9, 2009, featuring Orange annoying an apple. The selected year marks this character’s debut, not the invention of talking-food videos: the same source describes earlier food experiments by the creator. Wikipedia also lists the same release date but is also community-edited, not original upload evidence. The compact premise became a continuing web series. This representative series-logo preview is not an authenticated frame of the 2009 debut or playable preservation of the performance. Character, logo and image rights remain uncleared for public reuse; private research preview only.
