  For anyone wondering, Cunningham’s law states that “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong”

  I love how Orel become a loving husband and a father to his family. I'm sad that the show got cancelled just because it went too dark even though at the end, there's always a happy ending during the dark times.

  I sorta thought Coach Stopframe was simply trying to get Clay and Bloberta to divorce. He couldn&apos;t be too direct (i.e. get caught banging Bloberta) because I think his plan revolved around being the shoulder for Clay to cry on. He sowed the seeds (heh) of their divorce by intentionally impregnating Bloberta with a child Clay would <i>know</i> wasn&apos;t his, but couldn&apos;t directly tie back to Stopframe because he cut the affair short. And to be fair, I guess it did almost work.

  Honestly the show as the years go by it feels like It also expands with how people repeat the acts of the past. Much like boondocks that take satire of the opposite side of the argument really showing that any and all groups need to have a mirror placed over them and show their hypocritical aspects.

  So just as clarification for Stopframe, he knocked Bloberta up as a scheme to get Clay to see that she cheated and divorce her, so Stopframe could swoop in and steal Clay. <br>Kinda insane how he manipulated both of them for his own gain just for it to be for nothing in the end. Like, imagine trying that hard to sabotage an already toxic marriage just to turn around and call the whole thing off at the end, leaving everyone involved more broken and alone than before.

  Arthur might’ve been part of the reason why Clay turned out to be so bitter and insecure, but it seems like he eventually realized that what he did was wrong (albeit too late). When he finally sees his son again after years of ignoring each other, the first thing Arthur says is, “I blame myself for how you treated Orel.” Furthermore, I think he keeps silent when Clay starts venting his own frustrations because he feels conflicted on how to respond. On one hand, you can see a small hint of guilt as Arthur recalls which memory his son is referring to; but on the other hand, he also sees it as Clay continuing to play the victim when he’s just as much at fault for some of his own shitty decisions.

  I find it odd that nobody mentioned that Orel even as an adult has a picture of his two COMICALLY ABUSIVE PARENTS on his wall DESPITE everything that happeneed with them. Is a testiment to how innocent and pure he was.

  I met Scott Adsit once and fangirled, saying he was in one of my all time favorite shows. He was very nice and said something about 30 Rock but when I said it was Moral Orel he stopped everything, asked for my name, and stuck around and talked to me for awhile. It was really lovely to see how much he clearly cared about the project

  It is my personal Cannon that Orel&apos;s grandfather does move in with his family after end of the show, and that is why Orel is able to remain uncorrupted. Because in the finale there is no hope, no reason for Orel to remain pure and optimistic and he is clearly losing that part of himself. I like to think that his grandfather then came and was able to guide Orel to understanding that he did not have to honor his father anymore, and could instead simply get out and honor himself instead by giving his children the life he never got to have.

  I love the lines “It starts out innocently enough with little Orel jumping to his near death.”

  in about 5 years, Clay and Bloberta went through over 5000 different versions of the Lust Guard. What an immaculate work rate those designers have.
