Recap / Big Mouth S 05 E 5 Thanksgiving

Go To

Thanksgiving comes to town and both Andrew and Missy spend it rebelling against their parents.


Tropes:

  • Continuity Nod:
  • Everyone Has Standards: Lena and Quinta didn't want Missy to do marijuana because she's their baby cousin.
  • Force Feeding: After Andrew refuses to eat his dad's turkey out of spite, the latter pins him down and tries to shove the turkey in his mouth.
  • Imagine Spot: Jessi does this throughout the episode. Connie has to get her out of it.
    • After Jessi sees her parents being happy together, she imagines them getting back together.
    • She has another when she gets anxious about the new baby that Greg and Caitlin will have.
    • The last time is after Ali listens to Jessi talk about how her life sucks. She imagines Frenching Ali, which causes Jessi to run away after Connie wakes her up with a pitchfork.
  • Insane Troll Logic: Jay goes around stealing food dressed as Santa because he believes no one cares if Santa is the one doing the breaking and entering.
  • Le Parkour: Jay does this when breaking and entering dressed as Santa.
  • Marijuana Is LSD: Missy gets pretty high from one smoke of marijuana.
  • Never My Fault: Lena and Quinta try to shift the blame after it gets out that Missy is high.
  • Oh, Crap!:
    • Lena and Quinta react this way after Missy impulsively takes their marijuana and smokes it.
    • Mona does this after Missy's grandma reveals that she can see her.
  • Running Gag: A vote for Andrew to do something or kill himself is done three times in the episode. For the later two times, the kill himself vote won.
  • Yank the Dog's Chain: After seeing her parents being happy in each other's company, Jessi sees this as a sign that they might get back together. Unfortunately, her father later reveals that he and Caitlin are having a baby and starting a family, crushing her dreams.
  • You Are Grounded!: Missy is grounded for smoking her cousins' marijuana due to her misbehaving during Thanksgiving dinner as a result of being high.
  • You Can See Me?: As everyone is giving Missy disapproving looks for being high, Mona is currently getting high and freaked out by Missy's grandma staring directly at her. Then Missy's grandma directly tells Mona that she needs to leave, eliciting an Oh, Crap! reaction.
    Missy's Grandma: You need to leave Mona.
    Mona: Oh shit.
