Boedigheimer began making videos with their 8mm camcorder as a teenager. 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. They later founded the company Gagfilms in 2005.
The talking food videos Boedigheimer had previously done for JibJab inspired and prepared them to create the first original Annoying Orange video. Due to the success of the video, they began creating more, and ultimately became an online YouTube franchise. The success of the Annoying Orange series has been parlayed into a spin-off television series, a video game, a range of toys, a clothing line, and costumes.
