‘The Annoying Orange’ Expands YouTube Channel With Two Animated Series

Now that it’s done riffing on Breaking Bad, the Annoying Orange YouTube channel is making a big-time expansion into original content. Two new animated programs will join Dane Boedingheimer’s flagship fruit-fest on the popular YouTube hub, with a number of notable YouTube personalities grabbing the starring roles in stick figure series The Misfortune Of Being Ned, a new creation from the Annoying Orange team.

The Misfortune of Being Ned brings The Annoying Orange’s young fans to the world of Ned, an exuberant young boy who is prone to deaths befitting Kenny from South Park. SourceFed’s Steve Zaragoza will provide the voice of Ned, with his former coworker Kevin Brueck, recent Stylehaul signee Strawburry17 (AKA Meghan Camarena), and regular Annoying Orange voice Bob Jennings included in the cast as well.

In January, The Annoying Orange will debut a second series aligned with the interests of its fans. It will serve as the home for Gusto Rules, which will be based off the eggs-cellent artwork of Tofer Chin. That sound you hear is How To Basic shifting in his seat.
