"Moral Orel is a Stop Motion animated show that first aired on Adult Swim from 2006–08 created by Dino Stamatopoulos. Originally conceived as a satire of sitcoms from The '50s and The '60s, and designed to resemble an Affectionate Parody of Leave It to Beaver (not Davey & Goliath, despite the art style), the show, despite copious amounts of Executive Meddling, ultimately evolved into one of the darkest pieces of Western animation." - TvTropes |

Something I just noticed watching the episode “Help”

Did Bloberta’s family not sing at their own daughter’s wedding?

During the flashbacks, you can see them singing while Principal Fakey’s wife is walking down the aisle during Fakey’s wedding.

However, when Bloberta is walking down the aisle in her wedding, you can clearly see her family sitting down while she’s going down the aisle.

Maybe this wasn’t an intentional choice, but it makes you wonder if her family disapproved of her marriage or if Bloberta didn’t want them singing out of spite for how they treated her or something. Or maybe it was done to help show that Clay and her’s wedding wasn’t “joyous”?

How Moral Orel Changed My Perception of God and Reconverted Me: A short essay?? (Idk)

People of​ten j​oke about how Moral Orel become one of the factors on their journey of quitting their theistic religion. However, I(16F) actually reconverted to Islam thanks to this show and its finale.

After binge watching all 43 + 1 ​episodes in a day ( I was having it rough) the cross on Orel and Christinas wall caught me off guard.

Let's say until middle school, I was literally a gender reversed Orel all family trauma, (Heck, I even have politician parents) person​ality and views on religion wise. Then, I got admitted to a special high school ​for​ academically excelling kids and through influence and personal issues, I quit my religion.

Influence aside, the main reason was "If God is all mighty and strong, now's everything, and cares about his followers; why didn't he save me (from some stuff I wont talk about rn) ? Was I not a good enough follower? I prayed every night, did my best to be a good girl..."

Then my life went straight downhill. Burnout? Depression? I recently figured out what had went missing from the gifted golden child I was: I had lost my protector, my meaning. Though I ​knew that, I just couldn't ​reconvert after everything.

For while, I loo​ked for a meaning, a message from god that would reconvert me. I swear, I was going nuts at some point because of this.

Then that cross changed it all for me. If Orel could do it, why couldn't I? I started reading the Quran (I want to study more about all other religions too but this one first) and after a month since I watched the finale, I can Subannallah proudly say that I am a Muslim :)

I know that Islam is forgiving and that Allah (s.a.v) has forgiven me and loves me as he let me into his religion and gave me the honour of being one of his followers. So after more than a year of struggling with my own mind, I'm beginning ​a brand new chapter of my life all thanks to Moral Orel.

Maybe this is why representation matters? Not that I'm a 12 year old white American Christian boy (16F Turkish girl with a mid-east look) but because I was also a victim of religious/physical/verbal/emotional abuse as a gullible and stupid little child. Because I understood Orel and saw my little self in everything he did (umm except I didn't sneak into bedrooms to be gods chef, do coke, drink ​my piss, rise the dead etc ) and when he did something so inspiring, "​forgiving" god and realising his plan, I realised I could do it too!

These props end up in places I never expect

I was up at 5 AM watching Youtube as all mentally stable people do, and I come across this random video of Bloberta of all characters dancing to a Beyonce song.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLWa020zVr4 I don't know the context of why this video was even made but I'm glad it exists because it's just so gosh darn funny

any queer moral orel enjoyers want to join a discord to discuss the show??

I recently just finished moral orel and I am so hyperfixiated on this show.... I loved watching clay be a bisexual disaster omg.... this show not only supports gay rights, but gay wrongs.

I need to discuss this show with other like minded people. I feel like watching this show especially being queer adds such a different perspective to moral orel... my fave is interpreting clays disturbed mind and behaviors to also being a closeted man in the 50s :0 I also have a bunch of silly headcanons of the characters I want to share lol.

If anyone is interested in joining a discord let me know!!! I'd love to make a space to chat with other fans of this amazing show TT__TT (ideally be 20+ as this show touches on sensitive themes that I do not feel comfortable discussing with minors)

Future morels dog

I haven’t seen anyone speak of this, but I audibly said “awwww” when I saw Orel was able to get a dog when he became an adult, it was so sweet.
