Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Who knew a show about claymation puppets making fun of fundamentalism could make you you shout "FUCK YEAH!"


  • Orel beating the crap out of his father in "Turn The Other Cheek". Of course, Orel was just acting on his skewed perception of a moral lesson (as usual) but damn was it fun to see Clay get his ass kicked by his son, considering all the crap that Clay had put him through (and would put him through).
  • After a night of abuse and general dickery in "Nature", Clay passes out, drunk. A bear enters the camp, and almost eats Clay, but Orel kills it with a pistol. When Clay wakes up, the night a total blank, he finds the dead bear and begs Orel to tell him that his son finally killed something. Orel, disgusted, replies, "No, Dad, you killed it," just to spite his father.

 Orel: I hate you...

Clay: Hate away, sister. Hate away.

  • Don't forget the scene in the bar where Clay let's loose on the patrons.
Cquote1

 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.
  • Coach Stopframe's final rejection of Clay in the series finale, despite Clay's pleas of love. Daniel doesn't deserve someone as depraved as Clay.
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: 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.
  • The doctor in "Holy Visage" managing to heal himself while both of his arms are bound to the hospital bed, including using his Star of David to blow bubbles of medicine into his wound.
  • From "Nesting". When Clay threatens Orel with his usual trip to the study, which usually results in a Loud Gulp from Orel, he instead just stares at him, totally numb to his fathers threats. Orel realizing how pathetic Clay is in that scene, is beyond awesome.
  • 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, proving to be a better person than his own father.
