Dane Boedigheimer

Boedigheimer was a speech communications major at Minnesota State University Moorhead, and became a production assistant for MTV's Pimp My Ride three years after earning their degree.

The movie featured a toy barnyard set and some Matchbox cars which would be damaged by their brother Lucas' dog, Pugsly.

[12] During their college years, Boedigheimer studied filmmaking at Minnesota State University Moorhead[13] between 1998 and 2003,[14] where they met Spencer Grove as an undergraduate.

"[13] One of Boedigheimer's final projects at MSUM, a full-length feature film titled Trash TV, was shown at the Fargo Theatre, where there were more than 200 people who showed up to watch the movie.

[10] In 2006, in which they became a freelance filmmaker in January of that same year,[14] they had opened two YouTube channels named Daneboe and Gagfilms, producing several video series.

[14] They said in an interview that the idea for The Annoying Orange was a combination of the talking food videos, puns and special effects that they had come up with and done before.

The success of the series would also receive the attention of Fargo advertising agency H2M, who, in 2006, created its own "Talking Orange", which is the spokesman for an ad campaign for the North Dakota Department of Transportation.

Boedigheimer stated of not watching the "Talking Orange" videos before being told about the disagreement, also believing that the characters were not very similar.

It is a cartoon series that premiered on October 10, 2013, and it revolves around Thunder McWylde, a retired street fighter who is trying to live a normal life, but who is too strong for his own good.

Along with Bob Jennings, Boedigheimer created another cartoon series on The Annoying Orange YouTube channel called The Misfortune of Being Ned.

Premiering on October 9, 2013, and ending on April 23, 2014, the show's plot revolves around Ned (voiced by Steve Zaragoza), a cheerful elementary school kid who encounters a lot of bad situations.

The animation for both videos was done by their good friend Rebecca Parham, who runs the YouTube channel Let Me Explain Studios.

[24] Due to the success from the television version of The Annoying Orange, Boedigheimer was also one of the final presenters of the 64th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards.
