Recap / Big Mouth S 06 E 3 Vagina Shame

Go To

From itching to grooming to blooming, there's no lack of fodder for shame maven Rita St. Swithens.


Tropes:

  • Blatant Lies: Missy, feeling self-conscious about the fact that she's the only one among her female peers to not have menstruations, claims she uses a DivaCup when Ali asks if she has any extra tampons she can borrow.
  • Evil Twin: Jessi's vagina has one named Beatrice who comes out due to Jessi's yeast infection.
  • Given Name Reveal: The helmeted Knight of St. Joseph is called Balthazar by his partner.
  • Not Blood Siblings: Lola watches some porn implied to be about step-siblings.
    Lola: Oh, okay good. They're not blood relatives. So this is, like, totally copacetic.
  • No Periods, Period: Averted. Missy's segment is about how she's behind the other girls on menstruation, and eventually gets her first period.
  • Open Mouth, Insert Foot: Greg's attempt to calm Caitlin down after they learn that she'll need to get a C-section fails miserably.
    Greg: (after Caitlin says that Greg doesn't understand) Okay. Okay. But on the bright side, when the baby comes out your vagina will be.. um.. mangled?
    Caitlin: Oh, fuck you!
    Greg: Sorry. Not mangled. Uh... exploding?
    [Caitlin groans and slams the door on her way out]
  • Running Gag: Jay quotes one of his dad's law commercials. Unlike most times, Andrew agrees with Jay.
    "Women are supposed to be, like, seals: totally smooth, good with balls, and always clapping for you."
  • Spell My Name With An S: In-Universe, Greg's nametag says "Grag".
  • Special Edition Title: This episode has someone else singing the Title Sequence.
  • Strange Minds Think Alike:
    • Both Missy and her mom think their periods feel like "a wicked doll stabbing them from the inside".
    • Both Greg and Jesse interpret the medical abbreviation CPD (Cephalopelvic Disproportion) as meaning "California Pizza Ditchen".
  • Tempting Fate: When Jessi feels the need to pee while scratching her vagina, Connie says that it might soothe her itchiness. It actually makes her vagina feel very painful.
  • A Very Special Episode: The entire episode is all about the human vagina.
