Until Strange New World came out, Orville was my favorite Trek since TNG.

I'm not sure the mods are going to care honestly. I think most are in agreement that the Orville is basically star trek adjacent, and close enough that.... Honestly as long as it doesn't take over, nobody will bat an eye at the occasional Orville meme.

I love Trek but I don't really care for McFarlane's sense of humor, is the Orville worth checking out anyway?

The drama bits and plotlines are every bit as good as TNG/Voyager/DS9, but if you don't like McFarlane's humor, I doubt you would like the other 75% of the show's content.

But the humour is like at its highest like 15% of the show

Thing is it's not the humour, it's the humanity. Showing all the crew are just as dorky as your average human today, not all stick-wedged paragons like TNG. Think of the top time funniest moments - getting Bortus to eat a cactus, 500 cigarettes, karaoke, the moustache, the dancing bandito, isaac's joke fail... the humour is there, but it's the humanity that makes them. that's where s3 kinda fell down a bit, i don't know if it was covid rush or what, but we missed a lot of the warmer moments. Season finale delivered though.
