Moral Orel/Funny
Depressing as the last season is, Moral Orel still has plenty of funny, as evidenced below:
- After realizing that they just sang a song about hating Jesus, in church, Reverend Putty tells the congragation that Clay should be more responsible for his son's behaviour:
Clay: What - are you saying I should be responsible for what Orel does? I'm not even responsible for my own actions ninety percent of the time! |
- And related to that is when Reverend Putty realizes just what he and the town had been singing.
Putty: What's not to like? "I hate you Jesus, you rotten little fink. Your sermons never pleases and your parables all-"uh-oh. |
- Non-Threatening Negro Comedy Volume 6. That is all.
- Clay's simultaneous insulting of Florence, her ex-husband Officer Papermouth and her lover, Reverend Putty.
Clay: Imagine the loser she's getting sloppy with. |
- When the Puppingtons and the Postabules say grace before a dinner together, they say a slightly different version of the Lord's Prayer (the Postabule's say "debtors", and the Puppingtons say "trespassers"). Hilarity ensues.
Clay and Mark: What are you, nuts?! |
- Clay's drunken rant in "Sacrifice", after he figures out that Bloberta is in love/lust with Doctor Potterswheel (from finding his handkerchief in his house). Doubles as his Crowning Moment of Awesome, for some. Clay and Potterswheel are discussing the doctor's deceased ex-wife:
Clay: Tell me, doc, did some of those painkillers protect her against you? |
- Part of Orel's frank talk with Daniel during the series finale, made much funnier by all the story details before this moment. Orel sees Daniel's picture of Clay, and comments:
Orel: Coach Stopframe, you like my dad the way my mom likes my dad, don't you? |
- That one doubles as a Tear Jerker, for some.
- When Orel confessed to his dad that he had been having some....interesting dreams about God punishing him, and Clay is reduced to Angrish at the thought.
Clay: You've been having whats? About who!? Doing WHAT!?
Orel: Look Samson crack! Hooray! |
- An otherwise depressing and disturbing episode, "Alone" does have one chuckle-worthy moment in a Freeze-Frame Bonus: One of the headlines in Ms. Sculptham's clippings reads: "Serial Rapist is on the Loose! This Time it's Not Orel".
