Seth MacFarlane obviously wanted to be Captain James T Kirk when he was a kid and with him being goldenballs in the eye of Fox, they gave him free range to create this monstrosity.
It's like an parody of Star Trek, except it's not funny or anything else a parody should be.
You can't even use the excuse of it's humour being subtle, it's just not there. I laughed once. Just.

Re: The Orville
I really don't think it is meant to be a parody as much as a homage to Trek and other Sci-Fi shows.
I really enjoyed the second episode and it had a real TBG vibe about the main plot, but I do love the moments were it tries to input some humour as some of the things are said or talked about would actually go one, rather than the total seriousness of Trek.
