Recap / Big Mouth S 06 E 1 The Hook Up House

Go To

After being snowed in with their families, the restless friends flock to Bridgeton's latest make-out spot. A new classmate catches Missy's eye.


Tropes:

  • Bizarre Alien Biology: Maury explains to Matthew that smoking is good for Hormone Monster babies.
  • Continuity Nod: Maury is pregnant with his and Connie's child as shown in Human Resources (2022).
  • Does This Remind You of Anything?: The song "I'm So Horny" at the beginning of the episode when the kids are snowed in seems to be a metaphor for the COVID lockdowns, with Zoom meeting-like panels and the kids singing about their need for in-person human connection.
  • Drives Like Crazy: Nick is visibly terrified when Jessi sees him being driven home by Judd.
    Connie: He's a man with a motor vehicle and a license to kill... that pussy.
  • Five-Second Foreshadowing: After Jay's pants car crashes, he says that he's happy his kerosene soaked fireworks are still okay. Cue all of them going off.
  • Not So Above It All: Caleb is not above wanting to get with someone.
    Caleb: (after seeing the Hookup House ad) I am a local child looking for hot action.
  • Parents Walk In at the Worst Time: Barbara joins in on Andrew's Zoom meeting with Bernie after he had already taken off his shirt and started fondling his man boobs.
  • Rhetorical Question Blunder: While Marty removes the door to Andrew's bedroom, he asks if his son likes molesting himself in front of an audience. Maury points out that he actually does.
  • Running Gag: Marty threatening to cut someone's genitals off with a screwdriver.
  • Snowed-In: Maury notes that the snow in has been going on for two weeks by the time of this episode.
  • Speed Sex: Dicussed. After Bernie suggests that they both take off their shirts, Maury comments that this will result in "horny time" ending in 45 seconds.
  • Strange Minds Think Alike: Early in the episode, Andrew expresses his desire to attack Bernie from behind. During their Zoom meeting, she says the exact same thing about him.
  • Take That!: Mona makes a reference to Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon, but Missy doesn't recognize it.
    Mona: (talking about a cute boy that's caught Missy's attention) I bet he sleeps nude in an RV on the beach, with an ashtray in his bed and angry dog by his side.
    Missy: What is that? Is that from something?
    Mona: It's Mel Gibson in "Lethal Weapon".
    Missy: Ohhhhh. Okay. I only know him from his work as a racist and an antisemite.
    Mona: Well, he used to be an actor too.
  • That Came Out Wrong: Lampshaded when Nick tells Andrew that the latter shouldn't say that he wants to "attack" Bernie.
