Adult Swim has been showing episodes of Moral Orel out of order. Every episode is more or less self-contained, so it doesn't affect things too much, but once in awhile there will be a reference to an episode which hasn't aired yet. I just imagine Quentin Tarantino is directing in his non-linear style. Or something.

Last night's episode began with church and a sermon from Reverend Putty about the importance of being a good husband and tending to the needs of one's wife. The sermon takes an uncomfortable turn when Reverend Putty explains he's Protestant and not Catholic and can still "play the field." Women, however, just aren't interested in him.

Oral's Class - ...and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God and Jesus Christ who died on the Cross for all of our sins and then rose on the third day, indivisible, with liberty and justice for most.

In the latest episode of Moral Orel, Orel Puppington learns that God is everywhere, even inside you and me. This leads the young lad to believe he too is infallible, which gets him in trouble at school when he insists the textbooks are wrong and God is giving him all the correct answers. Undaunted, Oral and his inner pal God decide to skip school and hit the town.

Shut up, Jesus. -Orel, while on crack

I'd like to kick off this episode recap by recalling, again, some of the funny products shown during last night's episode of Moral Orel:

KLUM-Z Caucasian Band-Aids

Hard Milk (spiked milk that Orel's dad drinks before church)

HIV Away (a doctor sprays it on a needle before drawing blood from Orel's arm)

Orel: It's only track, not church.

 

Dad: Only track? Young man, track is very important for your future. What happens when you grow up and need to sprint thirty meters to the unemployment office?

Orel: I never thought about it that way.

Dad: Kids your age seldom do. It's called "stupidity" and it's a very natural thing.

Someone remind me to send Dino Stamatopoulos a fruit basket for creating one of the most hilarious animated shows I've ever seen in my life. Much like Mr. Show, which Stamatopoulos also worked on, an episode of Moral Orel will probably require a few viewings to fully appreciate it.

Oh, joyous rapture. The Adult Swim series I've been waiting for, Moral Orel, will finally have it's debut this Sunday at midnight. According to Adult Swim's Web page for the show, it looks like there are ten episodes of the series in the can. If you didn't catch Moral Orel: The Best Christmas Ever and aren't up to speed, Moral Orel is a clay-animated series that imagines what Davey and Goliath would be like if Davey constantly misinterpreted the word of God and wound up doing unspeakably blasphemous things. Also, Orel doesn't have a talking dog that I'm aware of. It'll be great pre-apocalypse viewing.
