Recap / Big Mouth S 06 E 4 Rice Purity Test

Go To

A viral quiz about naughty deeds sparks arguments and unlikely new friendships. Matthew plans a baby shower for Maury.


Tropes:

  • Bizarre Alien Biology: When Hormone Monsters are born, they come out from the birth parent's anus and are fired like a cannonball.
  • Breaking the Fourth Wall: After Maury realizes that this episode will be a Clip Show, he says that the producers must be running out of money.
  • Clip Show: This episode shows clips from previous episodes as the characters check off the things they've done in them off the Rice Purity Test.
  • Dead Sparks: Marty and Barbara's loveless marriage is represented visually through Marty's decrepit and dying Love Bug, Stu.
  • Double Standard: Bernie is angry that Andrew is fine with saying how perverted he is and but doesn't want to hear of how equally perverted she is.
    Bernie: Fuck you Andrew, and your male double standard bullshit.
  • Freeze-Frame Bonus: If you pause as Jay finishes the test, you can see that two of the three things he hasn't checked are: "Joined the Mile High Club?" and "Committed an act of incest?".
  • Like Father, Like Son: Andrew uses the same derogatory term with Bernie that his father did with Barbara.
  • "Lion King" Lift: Maury does this with Montel after they are born.
  • Madonna-Whore Complex: In his own words, Andrew doesn't want to hear Bernie's sexual escapades because he'd prefer to think of her as "a meadow of fresh fallen snow" and not "dirty street slush".
  • Shout-Out: Right after the "Lion King" Lift, Montel says: "Sorry I wrecked your asshole, daddy. Ain't I a stinker?"
