A lot of states have laws against body piercings for children without parental permission. She might have technically had to kick him out of the store if she admitted she knew he was underage.
@@macdeus2601bingo. Totally against ethics to actually pierce a minor (especially a genital piercing) especially without parental consent. Short instead of young = plausible deniability or something. Good thing this is a show and somehow this is the least fucked up thing that's happened in Moralton!
I like the irony with her character compared to the rest of the towns. You expect her to be rude because her beliefs and how she dress. But it turns out she's the sweetest person out of all the rude and selfish adults. Never judge a book by its cover.
the whole point of the show is how religion can be twisted to unintentionally teach some very hateful contradictory and damaging messages so yeah, one of the more non religious characters being a sweetheart checks out
Stephany isn't like the rest but is willing to hear other people out. She even comments on how he's on time to ask her to come to church as if this is a thing that happens all the time and even if she isn't into the church she'll still hear him out. Because even if its not her thing she cares about Oral and knows he needs love in his life.
I loved the scene with her and the Reverend at the end of Closeface: he wasn’t concerned about her identity, but that she fell in love with someone who didn’t care about her.
What I like about Stephanie is she represents “don’t judge others based on appearance.” She’s a lesbian, atheistic punk, but she’s a sweet person. It shouldn’t matter what someone is, as long as they’re a genuinely good person who aren’t seeking attention or a want to hurt others
The saddest part about this entire series is oral show signs of being smart but misled by the bureaucracy of his Christian town. His grandfather said he was smart because he could remember where chickens come from after he was told it only once. Oral is just... A cog in the machine if you will.
I'm so glad we got that special. It's interesting seeing Orel's grandfather after the lens he's portrayed in through Clay's flashbacks. He clearly resents Clay (for obvious reasons) but I think he also resents himself for poorly fathering him to such a degree that he turned out the way he did
If you grew up Fundamentalist Christian, that's what is expected of you. You were taught not to question God or his teachings and to obey your parents obediently. The first time I asked a question about why dinosaurs aren't in the Garden of Eden, my Sunday School Teacher told me Satan buried the bones of dinosaurs in the ground to deceive us. While later my mother and others believed they were in the garden but killed off in Noah's flood, the inconsistencies led to more questions and more questions until about a decade later, I turned out Agnostic.
I think thats what makes the writing so good though because its a reminder that smart good people often times do bad things because that's all they know. Oral is a good loving person who has no one to show him how to apply that.
I love Stephanie and Orel's relationship. She's like the older sister he never had, and the fact that she steered Putty to have good character development as well, she's the angel Moralton needs
She became my favourite character because, unlike other characters, she was kind, it's clear that she didn't want others to go through what she experienced, as shown in Closeface. Her interactions with Orel (except for that one scene in season one) and Putty were so pleasant to watch I really wish there were more of these...
@@d34dweight.. the scene where she performed the (y'know where) piercing on Orel, despite the fact he's a kid. Certainly not something she should've done but she's still better of than other residents of Moralton, props!
By far, it's werid that she in a town of supposedly super religious, morally "good" Christians that stick to their faith no matter what. Ironically Stephanie is the nicest and caring of all of them combined
My wife and I call our tattoo appointments "sanctioned self harm" as a tongue in cheek way to point out that there is a sort of therapeutic feeling to it.
Well stephanie was a teen during that time i assume most hormone stuffed teens would like to be in a relationship with someone espexially when its your first
so happy to see other people enjoying stephanie! she really was my favorite back when i discovered it. i didnt know she also shared the same VA as bloberta XD
9:30 I like how Stephanie flirts calling Doughys mom closeface. It's honestly so adorable. And then her making a song on "the angel of kissing" and detaching closeface from Doughys mom.
Can't tell if I misheard, but if not then, I love that the first clip is her listening to a song with lyrics, "you brushed your teeth with other girls tongues"
If you're still wondering the name of the song, it's called "Other People's Tongues" I don't remember the name of the people who wrote the song, but if you search the name, you should be able to find it :)
Well, piercings do close up some time after you've removed them, so it's not much of a big deal to get them off. Can't say the same about tattoos on the other hand.
really incredible how they pointedly made her a nice, calming figure. punks and goths and alts are usually so much nicer and more accepting than they look. its really clear in stephanie’s case; she knows what its like to be ostracized and talked down to, so she goes out of her way to do the exact opposite to orel. absolute legend
One of my most favorite characters, she truly is just a kind person who got fucked over by a lot of people. It was nice seeing that, especially from someone who has been dealt a bad hand himself. I feel like I can relate to her in a lot of ways
I was like 13 when Moral Oral was running and I was watching it online and Stephanie just always stuck with me as the model of what I wanted to be and who I wanted to be . She's warm and loving, she cares about Oral, is her self, and doesn't care what people think as long as shes a good person. I also am a goth punk who likes to prove the don't judge a book by its cover view point. Honestly I wish we had gotten more of her. This show needed way more seasons

I seriously love Stephanie. Shes the most kindest adult in Morelton to Orel and just a kind person in general. And the way shes written as an athiest has been done so well. She doesnt hide her beliefs ( or the lack of ), but she still relates and helps Orel despite their difference in beliefs. When Orel came to her about praying the right way, she relates to his level and gives him something that he can understand based on his beliefs, aka giving him incense and meditation stuff to help him cool down, and says it is like praying just in a different way so he can understand and relate. Then when explaining Closeface, she specifically says "Angel of kissing", which Orel easily understands. Stephanie doesnt try to be rude or mean to Orel, instead helping him in her own special way so he can understand, as what any adult or athority figure should. Not to mention she went to church despite her personal beliefs ( Even though it was to see Reverend Putty ) when Orel asked. I swear Stephanie is one of the best characters written in adult animation. Adults in shows like Family Guy are written horribly and unreasonably cruel. Stephanie though? She is ruthlessly nice and kind, and she is the mother/sister figure that Orel needs in his life.
Stephanie is the mother/big sister role model Orel needs and deserves. Edit: I think I just realized that Reverend Putty is played by the same guy that plays Rigby.
I really miss old AS. The characters within these absolutely off the wall settings/themes really made such a great contrast for when they got serious like this. Boutta go binge thing series real quick.
I've always found this quote about her to be quite profound. 'Of course she's kind and sweet, she's a freak. She can't afford to be mean.' Or something to that effect.
never heard of this show but from watching this clips I can get the vibe. everyone in the show goes to church mostly and sees themselves as good godly people while they treat all the ungodly folk not as well. forgive me if I am incorrect this is mostly an assumption with the few clips I see.
Watch this show please, it's not necessarily a criticism of religion, just hypocrites and sycophants. The central theme is the immorality of those around an innocent kid looking to find out how the world works.
It's kind of a parody of a kids' show from the 1960's called Davey and Goliath. Davey and Goliath was actually produced by a church, and was about a little kid learning cheesy life lessons in an extremely sanitized, G-rated social environment. Moral Orel copies the visual style very closely, with characters who are mostly super-conservative religious fundamentalists and try to act pure and innocent around each other, but nearly all of them have some kind of dark secret that reveals them to really be depraved in one way or another.
I think I kinda understand why she did the piercing because at least it was her someone she knew that wouldn’t take advantage of a kid and be sexual. As she knows Orel the kid he is would have tried to find someplace or someone else which would’ve gotten him more harm. So, the more I think about it the more it makes sense. Especially, because Orel comes back for another one and she explains there that it’s not about sex but, about affection and emotional connection.
The irony is, out of all "religious moral people" in the town. The kindest & most understanding person is the owner of sex shop who's also a lesbian. What makes her work is that she's not faking being a good person who uses religion as a cover-up for their immoral actions. Her living a free style different from the other citizens. not being braiwashed by religious groups nor trapped within a text or a list of (do & don't) to justify her decisions in life made her act of compassion crystal clear & pure because she's not blaming the devil when she slips nor does she expect a godly reward for being "nice".
@pigeonmilk119 She is using "short" in place of "child". "I would like a piercing that will increase the pleasure of intercourse" "Aren't you a little too short for one of those?" Then "Then when you're finally tall enough to drive home your wife will be squealing like she won a year's supply of panty hose" She acknowledged he is too young for that kind of piercing and too young to be having intercourse but chose to do it because she wished she had someone to do it when she was a child. That's weird.
I don't think this scene was meant to show how sweet and nice she is. It's meant to show the consequences of religious extremism and indoctrination. Orel doesn't fully understand what he is doing (even wondering why he would have to take his pants off) and Stephanie's trauma is clouding her judgement. That is not a positive situation they're in. If Coach Stopframe (or some other LGBTQ character) agreed to help an 8 year old girl do kegel exercises or get a tongue piercing to please some guy in the future I think people would see it differently. Even if it was strictly "platonic".
I love so much episodes from this show especially closeface. Not only Stephanie kinda plays a big role, orel and christina are really cute and as well as steph doesnt want orel to suffer what she had go through in high school. Love her fr
I wish we got to see Stephanie and Clay interact more. They are perfect opposites of each other. Both had rough childhoods and complicated broken homes, both also have lost queer loves too. Stephanie took her loses with stride, found a way to use those experiences to make her a better person to others, she struggles so much but doesnt attack the world for it. Clay is another queer person who lost a lot but the difference is how he let it change him. Bitter and hateful, Clay only wants the world to suffer like he has, every experience has just made him bitter and spiteful to all the other people around him. Stephanie wants to give good to the people around her despite it all, Clay wouldn't understand why you'd *ever* want to help "people"
i really don’t know why but when i heard orel say that stephanie was warm my heart broke. he deserves to have a loving figure in his life. to me stephanie is almost like a mother figure. she cares for him, protects him but doesn’t sugarcoat things, and she just is a warm person as orel says. their relationship is one of my favorite things in the show, and that’s saying something cause i love a lot of things about this show
I think it’s so interesting how Stephanie is this super kind and good character, but upon her first appearance she gives a dick piercing to a little boy. Like I’m not trying to say she’s bad actually, but it’s a bit odd. It’s almost like she’s making giving him a symbol of being different like she is

Fr unfortunately i first meet the worst type first, anyways the first good one i meet was so sweet she literally killed almost all the homophobia i got on my mind, i couldn't believe and i still can't believe there's so good people in this world.
I love how people don't read the room it sucks being Stephanie but she is a good person and i mean she preservers through all her mistakes. But i bet 25% of this comment section are busy trying to be her even though its a dead end road pierced with loneliness. To summarize though moral of the story don't hate Stephanie but don't be Stephanie.

'Of course she's kind and sweet, she's a freak. She can't afford to be mean.'
Or something to that effect.
never heard of this show but from watching this clips I can get the vibe. everyone in the show goes to church mostly and sees themselves as good godly people while they treat all the ungodly folk not as well. forgive me if I am incorrect this is mostly an assumption with the few clips I see.
The show is basically about hypocrites. Each character has their own struggle that they use religion to hide behind
Watch this show please, it's not necessarily a criticism of religion, just hypocrites and sycophants. The central theme is the immorality of those around an innocent kid looking to find out how the world works.
It's kind of a parody of a kids' show from the 1960's called Davey and Goliath.
Davey and Goliath was actually produced by a church, and was about a little kid learning cheesy life lessons in an extremely sanitized, G-rated social environment.
Moral Orel copies the visual style very closely, with characters who are mostly super-conservative religious fundamentalists and try to act pure and innocent around each other, but nearly all of them have some kind of dark secret that reveals them to really be depraved in one way or another.
@@macdeus2601The creator of the show says it was based on Leave it To Beaver-type sitcoms and not David and Goliath iirc
It's way more nuanced than that
I love how putty interacts with her after finding out shes his daughter
Pretty accurate depiction of punks too, every punk I know is the sweetest. Usually goths too, just nice non judgemental people
Orel getting excited about Stephanie going to church is so cute!
Still can’t believe the same woman who played Cindy Vortex is playing Orel
😱
and Sandy Cheeks
And Ashley from Re4
Stephanie is Just,so Cool.
"Uh oh maternal pang. All gone" 😂🤣😭
Everyone is talking about how nice she is but not the first clip 💀
I think I kinda understand why she did the piercing because at least it was her someone she knew that wouldn’t take advantage of a kid and be sexual. As she knows Orel the kid he is would have tried to find someplace or someone else which would’ve gotten him more harm. So, the more I think about it the more it makes sense. Especially, because Orel comes back for another one and she explains there that it’s not about sex but, about affection and emotional connection.
The irony is, out of all "religious moral people" in the town. The kindest & most understanding person is the owner of sex shop who's also a lesbian. What makes her work is that she's not faking being a good person who uses religion as a cover-up for their immoral actions. Her living a free style different from the other citizens. not being braiwashed by religious groups nor trapped within a text or a list of (do & don't) to justify her decisions in life made her act of compassion crystal clear & pure because she's not blaming the devil when she slips nor does she expect a godly reward for being "nice".
I like how she refers to oral by his height not age in the first episode
@@LaFonteCheVi how is it creepy?
@pigeonmilk119 She is using "short" in place of "child".
"I would like a piercing that will increase the pleasure of intercourse"
"Aren't you a little too short for one of those?"
Then
"Then when you're finally tall enough to drive home your wife will be squealing like she won a year's supply of panty hose"
She acknowledged he is too young for that kind of piercing and too young to be having intercourse but chose to do it because she wished she had someone to do it when she was a child.
That's weird.
I don't think this scene was meant to show how sweet and nice she is. It's meant to show the consequences of religious extremism and indoctrination.
Orel doesn't fully understand what he is doing (even wondering why he would have to take his pants off) and Stephanie's trauma is clouding her judgement. That is not a positive situation they're in.
If Coach Stopframe (or some other LGBTQ character) agreed to help an 8 year old girl do kegel exercises or get a tongue piercing to please some guy in the future I think people would see it differently. Even if it was strictly "platonic".
@@itwasaliens ok.
i wonder how stephanie feels being the sweetest and the bteer person of the whole town
It’s a thankless job
Damn this video really shows how much better the animation got over time.
wow shes just like me fr
Amazing username
Your username is fantastic
I love so much episodes from this show especially closeface. Not only Stephanie kinda plays a big role, orel and christina are really cute and as well as steph doesnt want orel to suffer what she had go through in high school. Love her fr
orel getting excited when stephanie agrees to go to church will never not be adorable
the pastor actually accepting Stephanie is actually quite nice
She really gave a kid a price albert
I want one
I wish we got to see Stephanie and Clay interact more. They are perfect opposites of each other. Both had rough childhoods and complicated broken homes, both also have lost queer loves too. Stephanie took her loses with stride, found a way to use those experiences to make her a better person to others, she struggles so much but doesnt attack the world for it. Clay is another queer person who lost a lot but the difference is how he let it change him. Bitter and hateful, Clay only wants the world to suffer like he has, every experience has just made him bitter and spiteful to all the other people around him. Stephanie wants to give good to the people around her despite it all, Clay wouldn't understand why you'd *ever* want to help "people"
I wish I met a girl like this in real life 😢😊
same
i really don’t know why but when i heard orel say that stephanie was warm my heart broke. he deserves to have a loving figure in his life. to me stephanie is almost like a mother figure. she cares for him, protects him but doesn’t sugarcoat things, and she just is a warm person as orel says. their relationship is one of my favorite things in the show, and that’s saying something cause i love a lot of things about this show
8:24 oh god the foreshadowing.
I am honored to share the same name as this character :3
My heart was melting the way she described love, I almost cried watching this 😭
(WE STAN STEPHANIE)
I remember the maternal pang being described as her wanting to be a mother figure for him, and... *THAT'S SO CUTE ❤❤❤❤❤*
not just a girlboss. a girlexecutive
I think it’s so interesting how Stephanie is this super kind and good character, but upon her first appearance she gives a dick piercing to a little boy. Like I’m not trying to say she’s bad actually, but it’s a bit odd. It’s almost like she’s making giving him a symbol of being different like she is
Yeah, super creepy.
They prob had a different idea for the character when she first showed
@@Plebus3Probably so, yeah. She grew into be one of the best influences for Orel, and one of the best people in the entire town.
@@Plebus3they proabably wanted to shock the audiance too
That last scene with putty and Stephanie was so sweet, and moral and Christina getting a happy ending
I love how much of a big sister she is to Orel
Stephanie is this show's best character
saw this comment extremely confused cuz I didn't remember ever seeing this video only to realize there's another person with my profile picture lmao
@@frimi8593 This is a surreal experience
@@afoolishfopdoodle3284 This is... acceptable
@@frimi8593 Where do we go from here
@@afoolishfopdoodle3284 damn, hell if I know. Still an extremely surreal experience, as you put it lmao. Any chance you've got a discord? (this is the avatar I use on literally all my media accounts)
I love Stephanie - the sweetest character in the show (next to Orel)! Edit: I also love the bond she developes between her and Rev Putty.
Stephanie is officially my favorite character ever in this show ❤
Punk lesbians can be the sweetest people. Or absolutely apeshit. I’ve met both but never in between.
W punk lesbians
Fr unfortunately i first meet the worst type first, anyways the first good one i meet was so sweet she literally killed almost all the homophobia i got on my mind, i couldn't believe and i still can't believe there's so good people in this world.
I adore me some Steph ☺️
Same
@@alexchicas5941 Yep 😌
If this show wasn’t so dark and had way more Stephanie I’d probably watch it only for her 😔
I just finished moral orel and it warms (and at the same time breaks) my heart when I see Orel in the first 2 seasons. He's just so happy.
Marceline before Marceline
This show can never stop hitting you.
Its so good.
As a religious person I would totally hang out with a person like Stephanie just cause why not.
I love how people don't read the room it sucks being Stephanie but she is a good person and i mean she preservers through all her mistakes. But i bet 25% of this comment section are busy trying to be her even though its a dead end road pierced with loneliness. To summarize though moral of the story don't hate Stephanie but don't be Stephanie.
She is the sweetest in the entire show. I love her so much
yesss thank you sm. i love herrrr
The part with reverend puddy was one of my favorites. Stephanie is probably the best woman in moralton.
7:10 LMAOO god was joking
11:35 lol, this is so unexpected and genius.
