There have been complaints that the humor in The Orville is inappropriate, out of place, jarring, etc. But if it's to be compared to original Star Trek, much of the humor there seemed far more out of place. For example, at the end of "The Changeling," after Nomad has destroyed planets/whole solar systems, etc, Kirk is making a joke about "My son, the doctor." Similar at the end of "The Doomsday Machine." And there are others.
