 The form may not be real, but… The High Fructose Adventures of Annoying Orange was a show on Cartoon Network that ran for two seasons. It featured a group of talking fruit crew, together with their human friend Nerdle, went on many adventures presumably throughout time and space. If not that, then they'd perform their actions during the night, when no one else but Nerdle was around. But have you ever wondered why the fruit rarely came to life in front of other humans? Or why everyone else regarded Nerdle as insane for talking to the fruits? Well that's just it, Nerdle was insane. It's all from his imagination. Nerdle was an employee at Danebos, where he was commonly seen on the show, as the one who worked the night shifts as the janitor. But have you ever noticed that he rarely worked during the episodes? He always interacted with the fruits instead. By theory is Nerdle worked during the day as well, where he desrounded by other employees. Because of his odd and weird personality, he could be considered an outsider, and no one talked to him. Deep down, he really wanted to be friends with his coworkers, but couldn't work up the courage to go and talk to them, as he believed his personality would put them off. Instead, he observed each employee, taking in every detail of their personality. Even he'd imagine scenarios where he was friends with all of them. He couldn't properly do that during the day, of course, because it would distract him from his work. But whenever he was alone on night shift, where no one else would be there to pay attention, he would slip into his fantasy. Much like a kid playing with toys, he projected the personalities of each co-worker onto pieces of fruit, perching them on a fruit stand which he referred to as their home. Even there, he'd play out the stories you see in each episode of the show. Orange's human counterpart was the most well-known employee at Banebos, and had the biggest personality, which is why Nerdle commonly placed him as the lead figure in his fantasies. During work, he aimed to make people laugh and smile, which is why he'd constantly tell jokes. However, he was oblivious to the fact that he could sometimes annoy or even insult others with these jokes. He knew he was kind at heart, however, so if anyone had an issue, they turned to him to make them feel better. Pear was the most respected out of the employees, and none more so by Orange, which is why the two of them were best friends. Pear is one of the least affected by Orange's jokes, because he endured them for the longest. He was very intelligent, often working on accounts for the store, which is why he was often depicted as a nerd in the episodes. Before any of the employees had a fight, Pear would rush to the rescue and try to calm them down, often being the voice of reason. Little Apple had dwarfism, hence why he was so small. Unfortunately this led to Orange, often teasing him about his height, and calling him a bigot. Despite his best efforts to get people to refer to him as little, nearly everyone kept forgetting and called him bigot, which led to the running gag present in the show. His best friend, Marshmallow, was also quite small in height, and so he never insulted Little Apple like everyone else. Marshmallow also had a unique trait, he was transgender. Although he was referred to as he by his friends and family, others could sometimes be confused as to whether he was a boy or a girl, due to his high pitched voice and love of girly things such as unicorns and rainbows. He always had a positive outlook on life, which is why he was never insulted by Orange's jokes, even going as far as to see him as his best friend after Little Apple. However, if someone insulted him personally about him being transgender, he would adopt a fierce temper, which could result in people being injured. Little Apple was usually the one who has to calm him down if his temper got out of control. Because he was one of the most unique employees, Nerdle projected his personality onto a Marshmallow instead of a fruit. Then comes the love triangle characters. Passion Fruit was one of the few female employees, and had a huge crush on Orange. She wasn't secretive about it, and everyone was aware of her affection towards him. The only one who wasn't, was Orange himself, who was so focused on making everyone laugh and smile, or in Nerdle's stories, being so focused on saving the day, that he never noticed Passion's crush on him. Great Fruit had a huge crush on Passion himself. He'd constantly try to win her heart, but Passion dismissed him due to the belief that she and Orange would be together someday. Because of this, Great Fruit hated Orange, and constantly tried to pick fights with him during work, or get him into trouble. With the belief that he was muscular, when he was actually just obese, he would sometimes threaten to beat Orange up, but Orange would constantly make jokes about his weight, which made Great Fruit self-conscious about himself, and he hesitated to hurt Orange. This is why, although he was sometimes the villain in Nerdle's stories, he never physically hurt Orange or his friends. Grandpa Lemon was a senile old man, who was close to retirement, but worked at Bane Bows to increase his pension sum. Because of his old age, he could be forgetful at times, and mix up numbers and statistics during work. He sometimes fell asleep at the checkout, with one of the employees having to always prod him awake. And finally, Apple was a stuck-up and pessimistic employee, who nobody liked. If Orange insulted him, no one would care, and other employees would bully him too. Apple always thought of himself as the best, and was constantly critical of everyone else. But in actuality, he was a coward, who shied away when faced with a dilemma. In Nerdle's stories, Apple feared he would be bruised if he took part in the adventures. Nerdle himself despised Apple's human counterpart, and so would often cut the Apple in half with a knife, as an act of revenge. Because of the pleasure he obtained in doing this, he would always bring Apple back to life by getting a new Apple every night. And every night, that Apple would meet aggressively end. The enemies of the show also had human counterparts. For example, the broccoli alien overlord was actually the manager of a rival store, Gu's aim was to shut Banebo's down, so he could make more profit. However it came to a point, where the employees from Banebo's went from being threatened by him, to just getting bored of his constant threats, which is why the fruits get bored with broccoli's schemes in the show. Another example is the zombie's vegetables, which was actually a gang, Gu broke into the store one night, whilst Nerdle was playing with the fruits. He was knocked unconscious by the gang, and dreamt that the fruits went on to destroy the zombies and save the day. Nerdle became so addicted to his fantasies, that when his night shift was over, he wouldn't leave the store, and instead slept on a shelf. This meant he would stay close to the fruits, and never have to go back to reality. During the day, he would continue to observe, and find out new facts about each of his coworkers, such as Pear being a black belt in karate, or how marshmallow used to be called Linky as a nickname. Now that the series has been cancelled, that might symbolize the store finally closing down. The question is, what happened to Nerdle, now that the origin of his fantasies is gone? Did he move on with his life? Did he go completely insane with grief? Or does he still find a way to continue his fantasies?
