History Awesome / MoralOrel

Who knew a show about [[WesternAnimation/MoralOrel claymation puppets making fun of fundamentalism]] could make you shout "[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome FUCK YEAH!]]"

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The Mountain Goat's "No Children" playing in Season 3's "Numb". It's surreal just how well the song fits the situation Clay and Bloberta are in, and works to fantastic effect.

* Don't forget the scene in the bar where Clay lets loose on the patrons.

-->'''Clay''':''Tell me Doc, did some of those pain killers protect her from the pain? The pain of you, day in and day out, being there, with that face? Not knowing what to say, not caring anymore? Not even knowing that you'll probably only care about her when it's finally too late? Forgetting about all those desperate, desperate years you spent alone, your barren years when no woman would even consider even resting her tired head on your shaky little shoulder, stinking of belly semen. Why even wipe? And then when you finally get one of THESE [points to the female bartender], coveted pieces of tail that have been built up as the trophy in your nothing life you try desperately to keep it. Not protect it, but horde it to keep it away from the other WOLVES and JACKALS circling your territory. And you realize all too soon, that you're not GOOD ENOUGH, and maybe there was a jerk off called Darwin after all, and that you've never acknowledged his existence because you knew deep inside that you were really what you feared you are. Weak and passive and ultimately broken by the ones who were made the fittest. And then through your weaknesses you built up a poison that poisoned others around you. The ones you love. And the only TRUE justice was to let those jackals feed off you. Survive off you.''

** Sick of him, Reverend Putty, Officer Papermouth and Doctor Potterswheel get ready to beat the shit out of Clay in "Sacrifice" - then they decide that he isn't worth it and walk away. Awesomer when you remember that Clay's dad does essentially the same thing-- even as an adult, Clay seeks attention through abuse-- and fails.

* Stressed and under pressure about a "Praying Bee", Orel takes up Buddhist meditation under Stephanie's advice. Clay is furious and commands Orel to never do it again. But at the Praying Bee, Orel finds himself under stress and resorts to the meditation. There, he has a surreal conversation with Buddha and learns that it's all right to adopt another cultural practice to enlighten his soul (and perhaps become closer to God). Orel ends up in the meditation position at the Praying Bee (since ThereAintNoRule), and effectively ''wins''. While Moralton celebrate the prize money, the episodes ends on Orel, floating off then walking off with a renewed sense of peace.

* Don't forget the scene in the bar where Clay let's loose on the patrons.

** Then at the end, when Clay is devastated to find that doctor's holy wound has healed and "useless" to cure his foot fungus, Clay then discovers the medications arranged in the shape of Jesus. Because it's an "accidental" holy symbol, Clay helps himself to the foot fungus powder. Orel, suspecting that the doctor arranged them, shows is approval to the doctor with a smile.

* The last scene in "Honor", in which we see that, despite his often abusive and downright terrible childhood, Orel had the willpower not to be broken by it, growing up to be a loving father and husband.

** Also in "Nature", Orel to Clay: "[[CallingTheOldManOut You become a bad person when you drink!]]" And, of course, a couple minutes later, Orel finally telling his father what he really thinks: "''I hate you.''"
--> '''Clay''': Hate away, sister.
* During the second season finale of ''MoralOrel'', Orel gets injured when his drunken dad, Clay, accidently discharges his hunting rifle. When it becomes apparent to Orel that his dad, a man he respected and feared, is really just an irresponsible jerk who won't do anything to tend to his own son's injuries, he [[http://www.adultswim.com/video/?episodeID=8a25c39213baccaf0113bc10434b00c6 says something Clay had coming to him for a long time]].
