History WMG / MoralOrel

Yes, he was genuinely sincere in his need and love for Stopframe, but it was purely emotional and not sexual for him, which was not the same for the coach. When you think about it, Clay isn't really a sexual creature outside of the episodes where he does roleplay with the other family and hires prostitutes from Orel. All his 'serious' relationships are just pure emotional obsession and attachment to another figure, less about sex and more about desperately trying to fill the need for parental affection in him. Clay is shown being lavished with attention in his early childhood by his mother before her death and taking desperate actions whenever he wanted his Father's. Bloberta roped him into a quick marriage by manipulating him into thinking he needed her and that she could provide him with love that he so craved. It's even implied later on that he's developed an OedipusComplex. Coach Stopframe's level of obsession with Clay reminded him of his mother's obsession. What Clay wanted most was to find someone who would practically worship him, even if it meant leading someone on that he had no real sexual attraction to. Stopframe and Clay's relationship was just an another example of how manipulative and uncaring of other's Clay is. 'Nesting' supports this very well, due to all the VERY Freudian imagery in Clay's head and Censordoll easily manipulating him as a mother-figure.

[[WMG: A few more theories....]]
* Orel has autism, hence his childlike, unquestioning faith, gullibility, and tendency to take things at face value and frequently misinterpret what he's told, with hilarious and even chilling results. His grandfather was the only one who ever recognized he isn't stupid, the boy just ''learns'' a little differently. Not having responsible adults around to help put things in proper perspective for Orel can't help matters.
** Adding to that theory, God/anything church related (and to a lesser extent, probably stop motion) would be his special interest.
* Joe's deep-voiced "sister" is actually his father, a transwoman, and his aged, senile "father" is really his grandfather. When she says, "I'm not your mother", she is only telling half the story. She fathered Joe as a teenager with an equally as young, and maybe a bit ditsy (though far from around-the-bend childlike, that came later) Nurse Bendy. Later she realized she was a woman trapped and broke it off with Bendy ,which may have precipitated her madness. His father soon forgot who his son really is, this being about the time Alzheimer's set in. In effect, she became her own "sister", raising her "nephew" and doting on her aging, incontinent "grandfather" as penance.
* Likewise, Doughy's "parents" are really dead, and he was left in the custody of his eighteen-year-old dumb JerkJock brother and DumbBlonde girlfriend, later wife. Hence why they barely act like he exists and look and talk like a couple of high-school kids.

** As mentioned above it’s very possible (as messed up as it sounds) that all of Orel’s lectures and spankings in hands of Clay’s were in reality his twisted way of showing his care and affection to Orel. Additionally it’s subtly implied that Clay does loves Orel and it’s aware of his abuse towards him based on the speech he gave on ‘Sacrifice, but unfortunately he lacks the strength of character to stop or become someone better.

He however cant remember it. Orel the angel screwed up royally and got punished by god with being reborn as a mere mortal.
He loves to go to church because it's the only way he can be closest to heaven and god.

** Orel is Lucifer?

She knew that it is end of her life now that her heart is weak due from too much alcohol and smoking. That's why she allowed Clay to see the photos of his unborn siblings, and uses his fake suicide to kill herself.

[[WMG:Clay is TheAntichrist.]]
He goes into trouble from the moment he killed his own mother by his fake death to insulting his father so that he can be slapped. What else is that he shot his own son, Orel, so that he can hate him. All of Moralton hates Clay because he will cause the end of the world with his beliefs.

[[WMG: Joe, later in life will struggle with his sexuality]]

[[WMG: ReligionIsWrong and no steps are taken to improve what they have]]

[[WMG: Clay was fully gay with compulsive heterosexuality, not bisexual]]

[[WMG: The Figurellis are mixed race]]

[[WMG: Moralton is a cult]]
There's no tv or anything. The timeline is the present but they still dress as if its the 50s.

Specifically, Italian and Black.

As is stated both here on the main article and on Wiki/ThatOtherWiki Moral Orel's happy ending was the product of a forced GeckoEnding by the Executives of Creator/AdultSwim. So It can be assumed that if Moral Orel was allowed to continue for a possible 4th and 5th season Orel's remaining childhood would have gotten [[FromBadToWorse increasingly worse]].

Throughout the show, he expresses a genuine distaste for woman, especially Bloberta. He didn’t want to marry anyone in general, perhaps because homosexual marriage was illegal at the time, and very shamed, especially in Fundamentalist Christianity. It is common for gay people to feel forced or pressure to hide their sexuality especially in Christian cultures. Because of heteronormativity, he might be unaware of this feelings in the first place, until he meets Coach Stopframe. In Nature, he compares woman to his alcohol addiction, perhaps showing he feels forced to be attracted to them. Although he slept with female strippers in season 2, it should be noted this could be a result of societal conditioning and compulsive heterosexually. It should be noted that his experiences with his mother might also leave him with complex feelings around woman in general, especially motherly figures.

Running off the fact that ''a caveman was cryogenically frozen inside a block of ice in the mid-America'', the setting itself may be Gumball or Bojack-Horseman levels of wacky, but Moralton has isolated itself so thoroughly that the only time we question the physics and history of the setting is during that one episode. Talking animals and animate-inanimate objects are never seen because they're either ousted by the racist community or outright ''lynched offscreen'', the local news channels are intentionally self-sustaining to prevent news from the outside world from trickling in, and technology has been stuck in the 1950's while the timeline is actually between 2000-2010.

* Joe's deep-voiced "sister" is actually his father, a pre-op transsexual, and his aged, senile "father" is really his grandfather. When "she" says, "I'm not your mother", "she" is only telling half the story. He fathered Joe as a teenager with an equally as young, and maybe a bit ditsy (though far from around-the-bend childlike, that came later) Nurse Bendy. Later he realized he was a woman trapped in a man's body and broke it off with Bendy ,which may have precipitated her madness. His father soon forgot who his son really is, this being about the time Alzheimer's set in. In effect, he became his own "sister", raising his "nephew" and doting on his aging, incontinent "grandfather" as penance.
