Moral Orel, Vol. 1, The Unholy Edition

Honestly this is one of the best series of any show I've ever seen, and easily the best claymation series in my mind. It's deep and thought provoking in the 2nd and 3rd seasons and some episodes are just darn depressing and sad, you'll be amazed that a claymation show can make you cry.It is not for people that are easily offended, it is not for people who never question their world views. This series is not for children, or even most teenagers, it is a biting satire that deals with concepts that children and most teenagers simply won't understand, it is for the thinking adult, most likely *liberal* thinking adult. Some of the gems from the series include "while god made man in his image, some people look more like god than others", "crack is a gateway to slang", the notion that eating chicken eggs is wrong because it comes from the nether-regions of chickens, not drinking your own urine is a sin because wasting vitamins is a sin. Hiring Hookers from a nearby town to be "saved", repeatedly, one on one with a man. Not a children's show by any stretch of the imagination.This is a less a satire of christianity as it is a satire of conservative protestant culture, and of the protestant church, not of the religion it'self, for those who can see the satire for what it is, and that is biting truth, it's a brilliant series that is ridiculously underrated, and truly deserving of a large fanbase.Now if only Adult Swim would release Season 2 and 3 on DVD I would be so very happy.

Join young Oral as he learns important Christian values, such as:Giving to the poor,Not wasting,Family values,And enjoying God's gift of life!

I was a massive fan of this series when it was featured late at night on the Cartoon Channel/Adult Swim, and after purchasing it on DVD, I still love it. So much that I wish the entire series was on DVD.There is s much irony, humor, spite, wit, satire, and cleverness in this series. Not once did I think that Dino Stamatopoulos was insulting religion. His criticism was with hypocrisy and society, because Orel triumphs in the end.Orel's parents are bitter, nasty people. His father Clay Puppington is a miserable alcoholic, who is also the town's mayor. His mother Bloberta Puppington loves to clean, but she longs for the love of her husband. She is defensive of her youngest son, but regardless of how bad of a mother she is, her son's counterpart wants to stay with her.Orel is completely innocent, very naive, good-hearted, so inevitably, he takes things to heart and does everything wrong. His righteousness can offend even the righteous, and one of my favorite episodes was Offensiveness. His actions have consequences, because of the absoluteness of his innocence, but I understand he means well.You like Orel. Despite how much he fouls.Great series.

I bought one and both disc's didn't work so I got a replacement. The replacement didn't work.Overall disappointing purchase. I don't recommend wasting your money for something that doesn't work.

It's like the anti-Davey and Golith / Leave it to Beaver. It's a dark satirical take on it as well as the twistedness to only expect from [adult swim]. It just lampoons Christianity propaganda in every aspect. It's brilliant and the special features are amazing. A documentry of Moral Orel includes but not limited to Dino treating his Frankenstine model like a baby and probably the greatest behind the scenes moment of Moral Orel history. Dino drunk at Comic Con with commentary included and optional. It's really funny, one of them end up wearing a Moral Orel thong while the Venture Bros and Robot Chicken folk are just completely embarrioused to be there and eventually the Moral Orel team get kicked out of Comic Con for that, Dino drinking a Vokda being slightly drunk and just fighting back any negativity against the show and him. It's really funny, as entertaining as the show. Maybe a little more. lol But seriously if you like satire, and don't mind the nothings sacret religious lampoonery, then I strongly recommend as well as Dino's new show "Frankenhole". Garentee to offend any Christian. Trust me, my best friend is Christian, I showed in an episode and had to shut it off within 3 minutes because he looked like he was going to either, scream, cry or rage. Either way it really disturbed him. In this case, is kind of a good thing. lol

I must be a rarity in the UK just by watching this! Im aware of the responses this invoked but cannot really see why as basically the stories relate to this family,a few neighbours etc NOT the entire christian following. For anyone who doesnt know the storyline it revolves about Orel,a 12 year old who trys to interpret from what adults tell him how he can lead a good "christian" life. Unfortunatly,he gets it wrong nearly all the time with disastrous results usually ending with him being thrashed by his closet gay,sadistic,bordering on alcoholic,dysfunctional father! As the episodes roll out you realise just whats going on and everything you thought was normal sure aint in that neck of the woods! Dont complain folks,nothing or no one in this world is beyond scrutiny and there ARE millions of people in this world who hide behind their religion...sin 6 days a week and,as they ask for forgiveness on the sabbath they think its ok. All this series is pointing out is the blatant hypocracy of people like this. As you are no doubt aware there are a multitude of more serious issues out there in the world at present you really should be bitchin about! A brave venture people,thanks for having the guts to produce it and for allowing me to see it and make my own conclusions. Regards to all from the UK!

This show is amazing, witty and dark with the right amount of claymation whimsyThe DVD set came nicely packages, and the case is nice. Disks arrived with no scratchesMenu selection is nothing to write home about, but gets the job done.

Item arrived in a timely matter- brand new and still in original packaging. Very pleased as this was a gift.

Great

Follow Orel Puffington as he goes through life. Moralton is a different place to live. A funny story to watch.

Hard to find.... Wish I could get the rest of the seasons!
