Recap / Big Mouth S 05 E 1 No Nut November

Go To

The group make a bet to see how long they can go without masturbating.


Tropes:

  • Accidental Misnaming: Rick calls Jessi "Elaine," an allusion to how Jessi was the Elaine analogue in the Seinfeld parody.
  • Aroused by Their Voice: One of the things Jay says he likes about Lola is her "sexy fucking voice."
  • The Bet: The episode's premise is that Jay, Andrew, Nick, and Jessi compete to see who can go longer without masturbating, and the winner gets a granola bar.
  • Call-Back:
    • This episode has a Seinfeld sketch like in The Head Push.
    • Andrew's sexy thoughts include his father's associate Susan, Leah in her bathing suit, his cousin Cherry, and a butt shaped tomato, all things that aroused him in earlier episodes.
  • Catapult Nightmare: Jay awakes sharply from a nightmare before the credits wherein he's attacked by an army of Pillolas, pillows with Lola's voice, appearance, and mannerisms.
  • Cold Turkeys Everywhere: Andrew finds himself tempted to cum due to the amount of sexual-related stuff in Nick's living room.
  • Freeze-Frame Bonus:
    • Lola's YouTube name is Skumpy4Trumpy.
    • When Nick scrolls through Jessi's Instagram, various images from previous Season 4 episodes can be briefly seen.
  • Inelegant Blubbering: Jay as he misses Lola, complete with snot dripping from his nose.
  • Mr. Fanservice: Judd walks into the living room shirtless and with his shirt hung over his shoulder. Jessi and especially Connie are immediately hooked onto this. When Nick asks Judd why his shirt is off, Judd explains that he was sweaty from fixing his car and needs to shower.
  • Person as Verb: After Nick has a wet dream, he exclaims, "I Andrewed!"
  • Shout-Out: The guys have another Seinfeld sketch based on "The Contest," which has a similar premise to the episode.
  • Think Unsexy Thoughts: Maury teaches Andrew about edging in order to avoid cumming. The specific thought that Andrew thinks up of is his father using a hair dryer on his huge balls.
  • Unseen No More: Marty's huge balls finally appear on screen, albeit via Andrew's imagination, when Andrew needs to think of something unsexy.
