Go To

Tropes:

  • Baseball Episode: "A League of Their Hormone" is about the Hormone Monsters and Shame Wizards playing each other in a company softball league. Connie is the star of the team, but her own child competes against her as the Stiff Soxs' most formidable opponent.
  • Bestiality Is Depraved: When on a date at a park with Ben, Sarah jokes that she's fucked all the dogs there. The fact Ben laughs at her edgy joke is a green flag to Emmy.
  • Chekhov's Gag: Tyler's spicy cum comes up as a joke, but Connie uses it to blind Montel and turn the game in her team's favor.
  • Drowning My Sorrows: Pete goes to the bar and gets drunk when he realizes Rochelle is using him for sex.
  • Eye Scream: Connie sabotages Montel by having Tyler throw burning cum in their eyes. Their eyes are still red afterwards.
  • Given Name Reveal: When they step up to the plate, Montel's surname is revealed as LaBeverly, a combination of their parents' surnames.
  • Literal Metaphor: After Ben asks Sarah about her mom, inadvertently triggering her, Van builds an emotional wall between them — literally, with rocks.
  • Pop-Culture Pun Episode Title: "A League of Their Hormone," a Baseball Episode about the Hormone Monsters' softball league, parodying the title of the historical baseball movie A League of Their Own.
  • Spoof Aesop: Connie and Montel's arc ends with a heartwarming discussion where Connie says she only sabotaged them so they wouldn't surpass her skills, otherwise she'd have to stop loving them. Montel lampshades that that's very fucked up, but loves their mom anyway.
