Ep 55. Ask Orange 55 - Unidentified Flying Orange

Ask Orange is an American comedy web series that aired from 2009 to 2018. The show is based on a popular internet phenomenon of the same name where a talking orange with a high-pitched voice annoys other fruits, vegetables, and inanimate objects. In season 1 episode 55, titled "Unidentified Flying Orange," the orange once again brings his signature brand of annoying humor to answer viewer questions.

The episode begins with the orange floating in space along with Pear and Marshmallow. The trio is baffled by the sudden appearance of a mysterious UFO that's shaped like an orange. The orange, naturally, is thrilled to have spotted another one of his kind and is determined to make contact with the UFO. Meanwhile, Pear and Marshmallow are more skeptical and urge caution.

As they ponder what to do, the orange's audience submits their burning questions for him to answer. The first question comes from a viewer who wants to know why the orange is so annoying all the time. The orange quips that it's just his natural charm and charisma, but Pear remarks that it's probably because he's "totally obnoxious." The orange takes the insult in stride and moves on to the next question.

The second question is from a viewer who wants to know where the orange's parents are. The orange somberly explains that he never knew his parents because he was plucked from a tree and sent to the grocery store. Pear and Marshmallow express sympathy for the orange's plight, but the orange quickly puts a positive spin on things, saying that he's happy to have found a new family with his friends.

The next question is from a viewer who wants to know why the orange is so obsessed with puns. The orange answers that puns are the highest form of humor and that he's a master of them. Pear, exasperated, reminds the orange that his puns are often terrible and groan-inducing. The orange just laughs and moves on to the next question.

The fourth question is from a viewer who wants to know if the orange has any superpowers. The orange confidently answers that he is indeed a superhero and shows off his ability to fly by propelling himself off of Pear's head. Marshmallow is impressed and asks the orange if he has any other powers, but the orange just shrugs and says that flying is enough for him.

The final question is from a viewer who wants to know if the orange has any advice for dealing with bullies. The orange pauses for a moment before answering seriously that it's important to stand up for oneself and to not let others bring you down. He advises the viewer to be confident and to not be afraid to ask for help if they need it. Pear and Marshmallow chime in to echo the orange's sentiment, and the three friends share a heartfelt moment of solidarity before the orange gets distracted by the UFO once again.

The episode ends with the orange coming up with a clever plan to make contact with the UFO by using a megaphone and some oranges to build a makeshift landing pad. Pear and Marshmallow, resigned to their fate, play along with the orange's plan and the scene fades to black.

Overall, "Unidentified Flying Orange" is a lighthearted and entertaining episode of Ask Orange that showcases the orange's quirky sense of humor and his lovable personality. Despite his annoying tendencies, the orange proves that he's capable of giving good advice and of being a true friend to those around him. Fans of the show will surely enjoy this episode and its mix of comedy and heart.
