I should really watch Moral Orel in full. I was immediately turned off by the first couple episodes but later on I happened to tune in to the one where Orel gets shot and was immediately fascinated. I think I saw a few more season 3 episodes and I think "Alone" was one of them. Still, despite seeing so little of the show it's definitely stuck with me.

4000 Dollar Suit posted:I really hated that show but am curious what the things that make AS blink are? one of the female characters is just numb, to the point where she has to engage in harder and more violent methods of masturbating. Her doctor is aroused by his patients' pain, so it becomes this feedback loop of the girl weed-whacking her clit, the doc getting hot and giving her pain killers, etc. She eventually orgasms from remembering the doc's admiration. Running to the doctor because she feels wanted, she is dismayed when his interest cools as he learns she hadn't hurt herself again. She's left completely numb again. Basically S1/2 are just critical of small town values, with Orel doing insane things and learning the wrong lesson at the end as a kind of inversion of those smarmy churchy cartoons. S3 explores the backstory to all the characters and you find they're deeply broken or hideous monsters kept together by the façade of religion or their jobs/social links. Like, the weird catty church lady that is super prudish and against enjoying things actually loves eggs because her mother removed her reproductive organs as a child so she's got a complex about purity, and eggs are a way she deals with being barren. As someone said earlier, played straight is what did them in. No one batted an eye when Orel got hooked on heroin, or when the only non-WASP family in town (the Italianish Figurellis) benefited from reverse racism, were called "Figgers" by their former neighbors (and emulated by the town youth which were them called "Wiggerelli's"). Because there were yuk-yuk co sequences to them. Show that a lady likely gave herself a coat hanger abortion -- the instrument of which she keeps in her possession -- and is infatuated with her rapist, without any laughs? Suddenly not cool.

I mean, you could reduce the pilot of R&M to "the old guy tells his nephew to stick pointy alien seeds up his tight, malleable anus-hole to get them through space customs" and that would probably turn people off too.

Moral Orel works because even at it darkest it kinda has a heart/soul to it, and its mostly because Orel himself. e: Hell, its a lot more hopeful than people actually give it credit for, I just remember the Reverend ends up becoming a good person.

Oral goes to a wicked town and sends the members of this town to moralton to be saved, cause its every Christians duty to save a sinner. The sinners are hookers and Oral is their pimp. He learned a good loophole on masturbation Oral is a rapist. When the last season goes into basically a character study of these adults into the how and why they are broken is amazing.

PBS Newshour posted:Moral Orel works because even at it darkest it kinda has a heart/soul to it, and its mostly because Orel himself. Moral Orel is one of my favorite AS shows of all time. One of the things is because in spite of all the dark and hosed up things, there is heart in it and in the end, Orel always keeps his upbeat nature, even as he becomes an adult. He overcomes the misery of Moralton..

Moral Orel is so very good. That season three is what keeps it from being just another Adult Swim show and makes it something different and amazing. Rick and Morty question: what is that jump roping girl singing in the inception part of Lawnmower Dog? I feel like I'm missing out on a joke.

Does Interdimensional Cable II need to be watched after the first one, or does it matter? II just went live on my cable box for on demand viewing and I've seen a couple minutes and my god, this is going to rule. I'm also curious to see the Pilot. The Pilot to Space Ghost: Coast to Coast was brutal, and ATHF's wasn't much better.

How much you love the pilot is directly related to how much you love burps (Burps are cool and good)

As was said earlier, the interdimensional cable episodes are kind of like treehouse of horror from the Simpsons. They stand alone, though both of them do have B-plots.

I never felt like the pilot felt like a pilot. It feels like all the other episodes, maybe a bit more burping and drooling but I love that Roiland poo poo.

The pilot's a little bit rougher than the other episodes, but it doesn't feel out of place. It isn't like, say, Invader Zim's pilot.

Zim's pilot owns. But the later episodes are better because they got to nail down the characters more. Dib became less assholy, and more heroic and Zim became more narcissistic and way more of an antagonist.

Oh God, I just watched the episode where the family's house gets invaded by these telepathic parasites that insert themselves into people's memories to convince them that they're life-long friends. The first two thirds were hilarious but when it got to the flashbacks of the family being horrible to each other it turned very sour. I hate comedies that try to find humor in dysfunctional families. This is why I stopped watching Family Guy. I hate images of cruelty that aren't countered by moments of redemption or justice. Not only are they upsetting, but when I am treated cruelly or see images of cruelty, I feel like being cruel too and that is unhealthy and dangerous. I think I will stop watching this show. Maybe I should watch a documentary on Harriet Tubman or Mahatma Gandhi to recover.

You're going to watch a movie about an Indian folk hero that constantly evoked that Africans were subhuman? Takes all kinds, I guess.

Skip ahead to the season 2 finale, it's pretty dramatic at the start but it has a really upbeat, happy ending that'll leave you in a better mood.
