The aliens on The Orville are hysterical parodies of those you’ve seen on other sci-fi shows
The Orville is a hilarious sci-fi comedy starring Seth MacFarlane as the captain of the USS Orville, a spaceship tasked with exploring the frontiers of space and building and protecting relationships with new species. The whole show is a parody on modern sci-fi series like Star Trek and the like, and it’s gained something of a cult following.
Meet some of the alien species that the crew of Seth MacFarlane’s The Orville encounter in outer space, including the single-gender Moclans who only pee once a year, Isaac the android who hails from Kaylon, the Krill (who are definitely not like the Klingons from Star Trek), and the Xelayans, who have super-strength aboard The Orville because the gravity of their home planet is so heavy.

Captain Ed and his executive officer Kelly, who also happens to be his ex-wife who was cheating on him with a blue alien, and the whole crew of the USS Orville, are more than a little weird themselves.
