_Did you write for SNL at the same time as Conan O'Brien did?

(should i ask questions as if i'm speaking directly to Dino Stamatopoulos?)

so many things are running through my head after reading that bio that Luuv posted///WOW!!

1) It was a real **beast** shame Moral Orel was cancelled in the end. I definitely felt your pain as it was one of my favorite shows in the history of the "channel" because it stood out from the rest: it was actually heartfelt.  Do you believe the heads in [adult swim], reflecting now, regret pulling the plug on your show?

2) Starburns is one of the best characters on TV right now, IMHO. Do you think there could be a vehicle or even some webisodes that would star yourself, Magnitude, and Leonard in a study group of your own?

3) What would be the one thing you will outlaw/ban in the [adult swim] message board community?

What was the best part of working on The Drinky Crow Show?

Also what are your impressions/experience while working on that show?

[NOTdubbed]

Dear Mr. Stamatopoulos,

Boy the questions I've wanted to ask you! It's been so long I can barely remember any of them, but one dates back to Moral Orel. In the show, Orel's mother often shows lots of neglect and dislike for her children, in a passive aggressive way. But rather than showing an arc in her character, it seems that it only gets worse. Now my question is this, was there really any affection for Orel or Shapey from Blobertta deep down in her character, or was she really so messed up?

Do you actually shape your facial hair into stars for the purpose of Community?

Dear Dino

1) I was wondering, how far along is production for season 2 of Frankenhole?

2) Can we expect anything controversial in season 2? Was there anything they wouldn't let you do?

3) The rest of Moral Orel on DVD....will we get it?

[NOTdubbed]

Another question for you Dino,

What was your favorite project that you worked on and why?

[poisonbella]

Hi dino! i like yappy broads! im going to watch it now on youtube! also going to watch drinky crow....

[Pyro_Metal]

Will you marry me?

[Dark_Lord_Khrima]

Even though it's sad how Moral Orel ended so prematurely to spite season three being my favorite season of any show ever, in hindsight are you OK with how Moral Orel ended, even if it wasn't the ending you had planned?

Are you satisfied with how Frankenhole has turned out so far? If you had the option would you drop it to go work on Moral Orel again?

What's your favorite part about stop motion animation, and why did you decide to use stop motion animation over more traditional animation styles for Moral Orel and Frankenhole?

Thanks for taking the time to do this again (I still remember your last Q&A here), it's very appreciated!

[duzitickle]

hi there,

thanks for kickin it with us again.

=]

youre a great dad.
is there anything youve done that you wont let her watch?

[Kagomeholic868]

I love the things you have done. They are all unique and inspired. I loved moral orel, and seeing you with Dimitri Martin makes me fancifully wet like a teen in heat. Where did you get the Idea for Moral Orel? I mean a misguided christian is a little out there.

[NOTdubbed]

Yet ANOTHER questoin,

Would you say that Morel was a metaphor, or sort of represented you in that life? A young child, who saw his principals, but saw the illogical fallacies in them? Where did this story come from?

[GodspreadThin]

What's the best part of having your daughter be a part of your shows? I know that when I have children, I'll be sure to wait for them to come out.

[Curlymafurly]

How exactly is Frankenhole animated? The animations are so smooth!

Is there some secret to it? How is it different from stop motion (or is it the same?)

[poisonbella]

how was it like working on late night with conan o brien and all the other shows? do you know anything about hidden subliminal messages? (and WHAT do you know?) how often do you come here on the boards?

[neverkeepchangin11]

I know a lot of people on these boards have that one show that they were really upset when it was canceled or not renewed. For me that was The Drinky Crow Show.

What are your feelings about the cancellation? Do you feel that the show had so much more to offer the network? Or do you feel like it just wasnt working out?

[lithium_green]

Hey, Dino.  Love Moral Orel, especially now that it is over and we will never see the same of level of theological humor on [as] ever again.  I just really only have one question on my mind.

What is it that you hope future viewers of Moral Orel will take away from this show, and what do you feel the message of the show should be going into these uncertain times we live in?

[ArgylePancakes]

Hmmm...I don't really have a question. But I just wanted to say I loved Moral Orel. The finale made me tear up. Thanks for it.

[SwimOdin]

This isn't a question, I just want to say please be Starburns forever.

[NOTdubbed]

Another one,

Where did you plan on steering Moral Orel before it was cancelled?

[katt_goddess]

Is there any one character that you have played / voiced over the course of your career so far that you would say is most like you?

And similar, any one character that you've written over the course of your career so far that you would say is most like you?

[I_am_Jacks_STD]

Since this is the second time I can think of where you've interacted with us here on the ASMB, my question is how did interacting with the ASMB influence your creative drive if it did at all? How do you like dealing with a vocal fanbase?

[whathezip]
