Top 10 Times the Hormone Monster Went Too Far
For this list, we'll be breaking down all the times that Maurice the Hormone Monster went a little overboard during the first season of “Big Mouth”; and trust us, there were a lot of moments to choose from.
#10: Dick Pic
Dick Clark Biography: From 'American Bandstand' to 'Rockin' Eve'
“Everybody Bleeds” Two things that should not be put together are texting and Maurice the Hormone Monster. An episode after their sloppy smooch, Nick is struggling to come up with a response to Jessi’s fishing dog video. As he and Andrew debate the best course of action Maurice takes the opportunity to offer up his own opinion on the subject; and it’s understandably gross. Being the disgusting, doesn’t hold back, literal monster that he is, Maurice suggests Nick send Jessi a… how to do put this delicately… picture of his penis. But as you’ll see, he doesn’t stop there…
#9: Maurice Discusses Balls
“Girls Are Horny Too” There’s nothing quite like capping off an episode of TV with a vivid and painfully in-depth description of a man’s testicles. Alas such is the way our favorite Hormone Monster decided to end episode five. His commentary goes on long after the credits have started to role, leaving viewers with no visual escape from his extremely detailed account of Andrew’s father’s nut sack. Of course the humor comes from Maurice’s perceived enjoyment of discussing a never-ending stream of deplorable subjects, and it’s clear from the sound of his voice that this is one of his favorites.
#8: Drunken Maurice
“Requiem for a Wet Dream” If you thought a sober Hormone Monster was bad, wait till you get a load of the drunken version. Whilst attempting to woo his crush Missy, Andrew is forced to contend with a wasted Maurice whose primary goal appears to be trying to say as many messed up things as possible. In an attempt to make him go away Andrew whips out a picture of his grandmother and yells that he’s thinking about her. Of course Maurice, fueled by the alcohol flowing through his body, takes the opportunity to remind Andrew that his grandmother is “grey, round and ready to pound.” Real classy there bud.
#7: Maurice Discusses Blow Jobs
“The Head Push” It goes without saying that whenever something sexual pops up during an episode of “Big Mouth”, Maurice the Hormone Monster will be there to give the world his depraved two cents. So in episode 8 “The Head Push”, when the group find themselves discussing a certain oral activity and Jay asks a seemingly rhetorical question about said activity, Maurice wastes no time in coming up with an answer. What pushed this scene into “too far” territory was the fact that Maurice felt the need to demonstrate exactly what he was advocating and it made for some pretty disturbing and / or hilarious imagery.
#6: Maurice Makes A Hole
“The Pornscape” In one of the show’s most sidesplitting examples of Maurice taking things well beyond the point of no return, the sex-crazed creature smashes his fist into Andrew’s bedroom wall and immediately develops a relationship with the hole. From his description of the hole, which is as he puts it is at “crotch level”, to the way he humanizes it by drawing a female figure around it and naming it Candace, Maurice’s ability to not know where the line is in in full swing. Of course the hole does have some drawbacks, but we’ll let Maurice tell you about it...
#5: Maurice at the Dance
“Ejaculation” The words “high school dance” and “Maurice the Hormone Monster” should never be in the same sentence; and in “Big Mouth’s” first episode we find out why. Maurice pays Andrew a little visit while he’s dancing with Missy and from there things quickly spiral out of control. Let’s just say Maurice gets a little too hands-y and Andrew is unable to…control himself. The scene ends with an insanely embarrassed Andrew running to the washroom to clean himself up and a jubilant Maurice skipping into the ether. Why did it have to be with Missy, the show’s most innocent character?
#4: Maurice Discusses Orgies
“Everybody Bleeds” Proving that his sex-soaked brain knows no bounds yet again, Maurice offers up his take on orgies in this hilarious scene from “Big Mouth’s” second episode. After Nick ditches him to hang out with Jessi and the Devons, Andrew is left alone with his thoughts, which is almost never a good thing. Maurice springs into action, launching into a rant about orgies and what Andrew can do if he ever finds himself in one with uneven numbers. It’s sick, twisted, and okay, pretty funny, but it’s still a little jarring to hear Maurice talk so candidly about an orgy involving teenagers.
#3: Maurice in Class
“Ejaculation” Do not, we repeat, do not; let a Hormone Monster into the classroom. Because we can guarantee that it will end badly for everyone involved. Of course our dead friend Andrew Glouberman had to learn this the hard way. During the show’s first episode, the mere mention of fallopian tubes is enough to rouse Maurice from wherever the hell he hangs out when he’s not ruining Andrew’s teenage life. He starts off by insisting Andrew take a little trip to the bathroom and finishes with a crude joke at the young man’s expense. Offsetting the gag is an innocent-as-always Missy telling Andrew she’ll “take notes for him”. Talk about the perfect way to highlight just how gross Maurice truly is.
#2: The Cat Clock
Top 20 Times the Hormone Monster Went Too Far
“Ejaculation” We will never be able to look at a cat-shaped clock the same way ever again. During a sleepover at Nick’s house Maurice decides to pay Andrew a visit in the middle of the night and it becomes clear from the moment he appears on screen that the interaction is not going to end with any sort of decency. Shall we discuss Maurice’s implication that Nick’s grandmother bought him the clock so that he could jerk off to it? How about when he calls Andrew a “perfectly normal gross little dirt bag”? It’s Maurice being Maurice and as per usual he takes things way too far!
#1: The Head
Top 10 Times SNL Used Animals in a Sketch
“Requiem for a Wet Dream" Topping the last entry would have been tough were it not for this truly disturbing interaction between Maurice and the severed head of Garrison Keillor. Andrew sick’s the former radio personality on Maurice in an attempt to buy some alone time with Missy, but forgets that Maurice will do literally anything in order to get what he wants. This includes decapitating Keillor and proceeding to, uh, well, let’s just say he does something to shut him up that almost made us puke. It’s scenes like this that prove television has come a long way in a short time and that Nick Kroll’s Hormone Monster is unlike any character we’ve seen before!
