      @@PresbianTier Exactly. And there's nothing wrong with that. It's repetetive perhaps. But the basic joke is so brutal and without chill. Delivered in a hilariously lighthearted tone. Especially because it makes an innocent child into a serial rapist of adults instead of a victim. Which would be funny to me as a teenager because It reverses the expectations of society and the media on youngsters like me at the time.

    Hello.
    I'm that person who actually loved Holy Visage.
    It's one of the first episodes to indicate that Orel might turn out okay. He's not ready to do a complete 180 on what he's been taught, but he does seek to at least passively give the guy who his beliefs end up victimizing the means to help himself. Orel's maybe not ready to admit to himself that he's starting to see some cracks in the ol' foundation, but subconsciously...

    The only episodes I don't like from this show are, The God's Chief episode, the pee episode, and the Zombie episode. God's Chief because it essentially turns Oral into a rapist. The Pee episode because it just feels a little too dumb to me. And the Zombie episode felt like it broke the rules of the universe because aside from that episode the show is relatively grounded in a world without supernatural things happening.

      I personally love all those because outside of what Moral Orel is at heart it can be just a fun dumb comedy show too that is more akin to the likes of South Park and other Adult Swim comedies. It doesn't devalue the overall message of where the show leads and it's more just about them having a dumb comedy while also leading into telling a truly gripping story.

    I just binged the entire show a couple days ago and to be honest, I don't really have any major problems with any of the episodes. Some are weaker than others in my opinion but none of them are bad to me. In fact, I say it is one of the best things Adult Swim has ever done. The characters are interesting, the setting is serial yet relatable, and the stories poke fun at how society views religion. It really is a gem that you have to watch at least once in your life if you like dark comedy.

    I think God's Chef would be a good episode if they didn't go the rapey route. Sexual repression and demonizing is something some religious people do (Obviously not saying everybody is a religion participates in it) and would be a good topic if it sticked to Orel's character. I think most people can agree that Orel would never willfully r@pe somebody. If they changed what Orel did with the thing Clay told him it would be a good episode. Like if he made cupcakes or something it would be a solid enough episode and could have some sort of message. Thus sounds rambley but whatever.

      Many people with say a paraphilia of some kind become a priest as a way to not have those awkward _why don't you have a girlfriend/wife_ questions not be uttered, as a way to stay hidden, much the same gay people have did in the past, and as we have seen paraphilia+sexual repression=a very bad outcome.
      Even good natured people can do horrible things with the right amount of repression and desperation, they're still solely responsible for their actions but I understand that coming from a place of irrational thought caused by that desperation you aren't really going to think as clearly.
      I know it would've been extremely controversial to have a discussion about paraphilia but it's oftentimes a topic very few are educated about, it should be discussed more often and done so in a mature matter.

    I didn't like God's Cheif because it turns Orel into basically a rapist. And since the whole town is really religious these pregnancies will be brought to term and all those families will be permanently traumatized. In my headcanon, this episode didn't happen.
    As for the other two episodes you talked about, I am actually kind of shocked you/other people don't like them because I think they are pretty good. Turning the missing link into a conservative talk show radio host and denying the proof in front of their face and the ending result being the whole world in the future doesn't believe in science, was really good satire.
    The same thing goes for the one about the guy being impaled. Denying medical care in favor of faith healing is representative of those really crazy religious people who go to one of those, mega churches where the paster screams about healing someone and the sick person feels better for a moment. And throws away their medicine. Or those crazy "Christian Scientists" who don't go to the doctor because god will save them.
    My favorite thing about Moral Orel is seeing how people lie to themselves and contourt the truth so they never have to change.
    Side Note: I really like how the Jewish guy rearranges the medicine to look like Jesus so the townsfolk will use the medicine. And I also like how Oral does the right thing (bringing the medicine cart to the Jewish guy) but in a way where he can pretend to himself that he did it for a different reason to preserve his faith.
    As for the show's stance on religion. I don't think it really hates religion just when people use religion to suit their own agendas. It's pretty much a satire of the super religious right that was more prevalent/relevant when Bush was in office.

    God chef in retrospection is probably one of the lowest on the list and just like the zombie episode kinda muddles the canon a bit. Orel has like at least 6 children that are never referenced or seen again. also does not really seem like a logical jump for orel to make in my eyes. I laugh but it's such a one note episode it's just gotta be in the bottom three.

    • @CaptainEffort

      Wdym? Beforel Orel, and quite frankly most of the show, shows that Orel is incredibly suggestible and willing to believe almost anything at face value. So him believing in "God's Chef" and that him being able to reenact that role would allow him to masturbate morally is totally believable for his character.

    Watched the show waaaay back when it was still being aired. It was a terrific show that got the King of the Hill treatment imo (kicked around by the network and eventually cancelled to make way for shows that were not near as good). I remember the God's Chef one being one of the highlights of the season, just for gross creepiness, but didn't care for the zombie one or Genuises, which seemed a bit by the books and boring.
    Like you said in the video, season 1 was where the show was finding its voice. It went from a show that mocked moral absolutism, where Orel could be easily led to the most disastrous actions, with a Looney Tunes continuity (no further consequences after the episode ends) to a stunning and chilling Southern Gothic character study.

    I don’t really understand why you thought geniusus was more vindictive or mean-spirited than the rest of the show. It points out the way people react to information that doesn’t fit their world view: Smashing it and reshaping it until the square peg somehow slots into the circle hole. The town tries to reshape the evidence of evolution into evidence for young earth, and the moment the cracks start to form they turn off their radios and ignore it.

It felt like a mandate from Nickelodeon to keep shoving the KK series down the audiences' throats, and besides, Narleen's a pretty skeevy character for a kid's show. She gave the camp goers essentially G-rated moonshine in one episode and in another guided them to a nude beach. I'm never one to clutch pearls at a cartoon show, I've seen and enjoyed far more risque stuff, but there's just something about the character that screams "shouldn't live within 100 feet of a school" that SOMEONE should have questioned in the writers' room.

      Eh, no. Was Mr. Krabs completely out of line? Yes. Didn't Plankton try to enslave the entirety of Bikini Bottom in the movie, so technically he kind of deserves it and would totally do the same thing to Krabs if the shoe was on the other foot? You better believe he would. And frankly, it's not nearly as deep and disturbing a psychological torture as what Patrick does to Squidward in Ink Lemonade. The bit where Squidward sees an elderly version of himself still working at Krusty Krab? Ouch. I'd rather be eaten by a whale.
      For me, comedic sociopathy is at least interesting and makes me feel something. I'd much rather a mean spirited episode than something entirely forgettable and boring. That one with Narleen is just boring, bad, and it feels like Nick forced the writers into making that episode to awkwardly tie in to Kamp Koral.

To me what makes One Course Meal horrible is not only the suicide jokes in children's media or Krabs' joy in driving Plankton to that point. And it's not being done in reaction to Plankton vilely wronging him in that episode or anything, either. Krabs is just some guy who happened to find some information and is doing this for the hell of it. If Plankton had gotten himself into some life-threatening situation with a third party and Krabs was in-different or took pleasure in it, it'd be a lot more understandable.

      @@onettaviator5396 Very recent. The Narleen one, I reiterate, feels like it was a mandate to integrate the worst character from the spinoff into the show. By comparison, Patrick's parents made a recent appearance, but it was identical to their previous appearance on the show, not even utilizing the designs from the Patrick Spin-off or even Cree Summer as his mother's voice actor. You can tell which Spin-off is getting more love from the network.
      Anyway, Ink Lemonade is FAAAAAAR worse than One Course Meal. You can at least blame Krabs's actions in OCM on his frustration with Plankton trying to constantly sabotage him and the fact Plankton is indeed a bad guy with a history of malicious intent. Ink Lemonade is Patrick and Spongebob (but mostly Patrick) torturing and terrorizing Squidward so he shoots out his own ink, and selling it as a drink in a stand outside. It's also basically a thin plot that really just utilizes a series of gags of various ways in which they scare him, so the structure isn't quite as solid either.

    God's Chef definetely doesn't give the best impression to a newcomer if all you heard from Moral Orel prior was the reception from other people
    It has that "South Park feel" to it. Season 1 in general has that overall tone that Adult Swim absolutely loves. Raunchy (borderline) edgy black humor that has little to no continuity to it all.
    Season 1 is also hard to binge (as all episodes are available on HBO Max) because of its repetitive formula, even though it'll take less than two hours to actually watch all ten episodes.
    Even so, Season 1 has a lot of good episodes and it is still worth watching, just at a slower pace as you can quickly exhaust yourself watching the ten episodes all at once.

    I feel like I’m the weird person who genuinely loved this episode. Objectively it wasn’t the best, but I guess I just found it hilarious that he was just impregnating every woman in Moralton. Maybe the pure fucked up nature of it just resonated with me. Honestly, I got hooked on the show because of this episode.

    I remember watching the first airing of God's chef, so in order with no expectations other than an adult swim show, it was hilarious in the way that everything moral did was too over the top and blatant. We were still learning that he did everything because someone in town would have some way of interpreting the bible and he was a kid with no idea other than "the right thing to do is what the adult Christians tell me."

  • @Trumpeter667
    @Trumpeter667 Год назад +3

    I agree with pretty much everything you said, but my one issue that you didn’t mention is how God’s Chef is hypocritical to the rest of the show. When you look at Alone or pretty much anything with Nurse Bendy, the show takes the subject matter seriously. It cuts deep and you understand the hurt. God’s Chef just makes a joke out of it, and it carries over into the rest of the show. Like I’m pretty sure one of the headlines in Alone is something along the lines of “Serial ***ist on the loose, and it’s not Orel this time” - this serious moment is made either into a joke or made uncomfortable (depending on the viewer response). They try to have serious commentary, but you have the fact that Orel did this horrible thing once hanging over the town.
    Now, to some, this may feel a bit poetic and like it works, showing that even if Orel learns he can never truly escape the mistakes of his past, or maybe they see how Orel justified his actions and understand how someone with more malicious intent could justify their actions in a religious society, creating context for how a serial ***ist could exist and go so long without being caught. Some may see this as calling out the hypocrisy in the world, taking seriously something that was made a joke early on and making people realize how messed up it was that they thought it was funny.
    However, to me, God’s Chef is the worst episode because in addition to the flaws you pointed out, which usually could be chalked up to it being the 2nd episode and they’re still figuring out the characters, the flaws don’t end with the episode, and they cast a shadow over the rest of the show. To some, the shadow may make the rest of the show cut deeper, but to me, it just makes it uncomfortable, and I understand why some consider it to be the worst Moral Orel episode, and some don’t even consider it to be canon.

    This episode to me was hilarious and just overall very silly dumb fun like your typical Adult Swim shows, of course if you take the rest of the show it is really the standout in an otherwise Dark Comedy about the growth of a child in a toxic setting. But on it's own I still just get a laugh out of it cause it's just really dumb fun like many 2000's comedies.
    Satan or Genuises is probably my least fav as well. But honestly I don't think any are outright terrible because I think comedy at the of the day is the most subjective of all genres and I think Moral Orel's comedy can be my type of Adult Swim silly humor like Sealab 2021 or ATHF.

At least episode 2 has the defense of getting a footing, but doesn't apply with the other two. Forgot the last two so I can see why these episodes are forgettable.

    I also find it strange that Doughey can be groomed by a rapist ice cream man for laughs and nobody bats an eye, but Chef's Kiss gets so much criticism. To me it's in the same vein as Adult Swim's weird issue with "Alone" despite their tolerance for Chef's Kiss. Just a bizarre double standard.

    The thing about early Genesis is that it’s widely considered apocalyptic, rather than a literal account about the origin of the cosmos. People like Dr. Michael Heiser even pointed out that Genesis 1 is reflective of temple consecration and likened Earth to that. Furthermore, ancient Jewish culture was extremely present-oriented, and as such, they weren’t particularly concerned about protology or life after death; survival was the name of the game.
    Young Earth Creationism is actually the new kid on the block in a relative sense. Various figures throughout Church history from St. Augustine to John Milton to John Wesley rejected the notion of the world being less than 10,000 years old; that notion, believe it or else, had its origins with Seventh Day Adventism, which isn’t considered part of Christianity. That position was latter adopted by John Morris and people like Ken Ham and Kent Hovind.

In the cometary, he says something about how he wanted to make the show about the people of the town and revolve around Orel anymore which the 3rd season does more or less.

    I have to skip holy visage not because I hate it but I just remember the first time seeing it literally disgusted me. Seeing all the sick people coughing on that poor man and everyone just tying him down so he can't even save himself was upsetting to me. I watched it when I was still in high school so maybe seeing it now will change my view but it was just so very.
    I also hated Genuisus, I didn't understand the point of it. I know everyone was just hushing down the theories of Darwinism but it just felt very unfitting for the rest of the story. I feel like they could've gone about the idea another way but they just kinda slapped down the script and thought "yep this is it."
    As for God's Chef, I understood why Orel did what he did but I also don't understand why he felt the need to do it..? Later on I know in Before Orel he feels like he has to prove himself to God so maybe thats why he wanted to be of 'use' to him in that way... But I also just didn't like the idea of it at all and it made Orel be very creepy and not the innocent kid we viewed him as.
    Lastlyyyy! I hated the zombie one. I know it's the pilot episode and all and they were still figuring stuff out but I truly didn't like the cross into sci-fi. I feel like within Moral Orel they made it a point later on to kinda say that religion is fake and these fantasy things don't really happen, so with the dead people coming back to life it really just gave into the idea that God could be real and all these other things are possible when as the story continues it very much shuts down these traits.
    Overall, the build up of the series is just something that I love, we slowly uncover all these character traits from all the characters and it really builds the town and how, we as viewers, get entwined within it and see in depth how messed up it all really is and how lost everyone truly is.
    I'll go ahead and add my favourite episode if anyone is curious, but it's Sacrifice. I absolutely love seeing Clay spiral, his monologue in that episode is amazing and I whole heartedly love it, I also really enjoy his spiraling in Nature but its actually so mf sad seeing Orel cry when Clay says he hates himself so I try not to think about it too much. A very close second is Be Fruitful and Multiply, just cause I have parental issues and seeing the Reverend and Stephanie bond makes my heart tight.
