00:00 I want to apologize for my behavior. I may have crossed a line.
00:04 Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down instances where Maurice the Hormone Monster
00:08 went a little and sometimes a lot overboard throughout the Big Mouth franchise.
00:13 Oh, I should have gotten that garden salad!
00:17 Two things that should not be put together are texting and Maurice the Hormone Monster.
00:25 So what's the deal with you and Jessie? Have you seen her since, you know, the kiss?
00:31 An episode after their sloppy smooch, Nick is struggling to come up with a response to
00:35 Jessie's fishing dog video. As he and Andrew debate the best course of action,
00:39 Maurice takes the opportunity to offer up his own opinion on the subject,
00:43 and it is understandably gross. Being the disgusting, doesn't-hold-back,
00:48 literal monster that he is, Maurice suggests Nick send Jessie a rather explicit picture.
00:54 And he doesn't stop there.
00:55 Following an accident with a pair of scissors,
01:05 it doesn't seem like Andrew's circumstances can get any worse.
01:08 Of course, this is Andrew we're talking about. There is no rock bottom,
01:14 especially when Maury gives advice. Looking below the sink, Andrew stumbles upon a bottle
01:20 of Nair hair remover, which Maury encourages him to slather all over his nether region.
01:25 Had Andrew read the instructions, he would have noticed the bottle's expiration date
01:34 before it was too late. And what does Maury do as Andrew's junk smokes like a chimney?
01:42 He laughs, although not as hard as Andrew's crotch, which has taken on a Joker persona.
01:47 Maury has steered Andrew wrong before, but this is definitely one of the hairier positions
01:52 he's put the boy in.
01:53 There's nothing quite like capping off an episode of TV with a vivid and painfully
02:02 in-depth description of a man's... well, you know.
02:05 Alas, such is the way our favorite hormone monster decided to end episode 5.
02:13 "I was like, 'Why is your dad having sex with a messenger bag on?' And then I was like, 'Oh.'"
02:18 His commentary goes on long after the credits have started to roll,
02:22 leaving viewers with no visual escape from his extremely detailed account of Andrew's father's...
02:28 do we have to say it?
02:30 Of course, the humor comes from Maurice's perceived enjoyment of discussing a never-ending
02:34 stream of deplorable subjects, and it's clear from the sound of his voice that this is one
02:39 of his favorites.
02:40 "I feel like I should tell your dad, but I'm scared he's gonna hit me in the head with that
02:44 big pillowcase full of watermelons."
02:46 Number 17.
02:47 Drunken Maurice
02:48 If you thought a sober hormone monster was bad, wait till you get a load of the drunken version.
02:53 "My mom says I'm sweet, and that's why spiders keep biting me."
02:57 "Oh, smooth."
02:58 While attempting to woo his crush Missy, Andrew is forced to contend with a wasted Maurice
03:03 whose primary goal appears to be trying to say as many messed up things as possible.
03:08 "Way to bring up your mom and also spider bites.
03:11 You sure you don't want to tell them about your pediatric hemorrhoids?"
03:14 In an attempt to make him go away, Andrew whips out a picture of his grandmother and
03:18 yells that he's thinking about her.
03:20 Of course, Maurice, fueled by the alcohol flowing through his body,
03:24 only takes this as an opportunity for more crassness.
03:27 "Now, I didn't want to have to do this, but I am thinking about my grandmother."
03:32 "Gray round."
03:33 Real classy there, bud.
03:34 Number 16.
03:36 Bubble Guts
03:37 If you thought the spinoff Human Resources would show a more restrained side of Maurice,
03:41 what are we saying?
03:42 Nobody expected that.
03:44 Just as Maurice goes overboard in the bedroom, he doesn't hold back in the kitchen either.
03:48 "The special is the two-day burrito."
03:50 "Didn't you just say you're feeling fat?"
03:52 "I know, but listen, it sounds so delicious."
03:55 Ordering a giant burrito that's supposed to be consumed over two days,
03:58 Maurice scarfs it down in one.
04:00 It isn't long until this comes back to haunt him.
04:03 "I'm having a heart attack."
04:04 "What?"
04:04 "Everyone stop drinking and staring at my problem."
04:07 "Don't you die on me, Maurice."
04:09 At first, it appears to be a heart attack,
04:11 although his diagnosis is far more repulsive.
04:14 Bubble Guts
04:15 "Oh, no."
04:17 "Don't even say it."
04:18 "It's the bubble guts."
04:19 "Oh, God, oh, no."
04:20 There are two ways this can play out.
04:23 Either Maurice busts a literal gut,
04:25 or he releases enough toxic gas to turn Emmy's car into a miniature Noble.
04:29 Maurice survives, but at the expense of the audience losing their lunch.
04:34 "It's burning my eyes."
04:36 "I can't see, I'm blind."
04:38 Number 15
04:40 Pushing Andrew Too Far With Missy
04:42 "Happy Valentine's Day, Missy."
04:44 "The princess of my heart."
04:46 Season 3's Valentine special finds Andrew at his worst,
04:49 and Maury holds at least some responsibility.
04:52 As Andrew desperately tries to win back Missy,
04:55 Maury fuels his sense of entitlement.
04:57 "I know you like me, okay?"
04:58 "Of course."
04:59 "So why don't you know that you like me?"
05:01 "Raise the stakes."
05:02 It isn't long until this brings out Andrew's toxic masculinity,
05:05 with Maury occasionally putting words in his mouth.
05:08 "What does she even want from you?"
05:10 "What do you want, huh? You want money?"
05:12 "Perfect."
05:12 "No!"
05:12 "You want cold, hard cash?"
05:14 "Yeah, fling it at her."
05:15 Maury reciprocates Andrew's rage until the boy is driven to push Lars out of his wheelchair.
05:21 At this point, even Maury feels that Andrew has gone too far, which is saying a lot.
05:26 "Look at him sitting there. I bet he can walk."
05:28 "Andrew, again, he's not lying about the chain."
05:31 "That's right, everyone. He can walk, I think."
05:34 Since Andrew is already in so deep, though, Maury ultimately urges him to go all the way.
05:40 Andrew's actions are his own, but Maury is on his shoulder the whole time.
05:44 "Get the seatbelt."
05:46 "No, stop it."
05:46 "Oh my goodness, Lars! Holy moly, are you okay?"
05:51 "Geez Louise, the optics on this."
05:54 Had Maury pulled back sooner, maybe he could have spared Andrew the ultimate humiliation.
06:00 Number 14. A demonstration.
06:02 It goes without saying that whenever something sexual pops up during an episode of Big Mouth,
06:06 Maurice the Hormone Monster will be there to give the world his depraved two cents.
06:11 "Not a fan of the head push."
06:13 So in episode 8, "The Head Push," when the group finds themselves discussing a certain activity
06:18 and Jay asks a seemingly rhetorical question about said activity,
06:22 Maurice wastes no time in coming up with an answer.
06:25 "You can't push!"
06:26 "No push! I'm not pushing, baby!"
06:28 What pushed the scene into too far territory was the fact that Maurice felt the need to
06:32 demonstrate exactly what he was advocating,
06:35 and it made for some pretty disturbing and/or hilarious imagery.
06:39 "You lean your head back, arch your crotch in the air and say..."
06:42 Number 13. Maurice makes a hole.
06:45 In one of the show's most side-splitting examples of Maurice taking things well beyond the point of no return,
06:50 the sex-crazed creature smashes his fist into Andrew's bedroom wall
06:54 and immediately develops a relationship with the hole.
06:57 "God damn it!"
06:58 "Well, well, well, a hole. Ooh, and crotch level, no less."
07:02 From his description of the hole to the way he humanizes it by drawing a female figure around it
07:08 and naming it Candace, Maurice's ability to not know where the line is is in full swing.
07:14 Of course, the hole does have some drawbacks, but we'll let Maurice tell you about it.
07:18 "I mean, the only downside is the s--- splinters."
07:22 Number 12. Maurice at the dance.
07:24 The words "high school dance" and "Maurice the hormone monster" should never be in the same sentence,
07:29 and in Big Mouth's first episode, we find out why.
07:32 "I think we're both doing great."
07:34 "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're both doing great. Now let's get a little friction going."
07:39 Maurice pays Andrew a little visit while he's dancing with Missy,
07:42 and from there, things quickly spiral out of control.
07:45 Let's just say Maurice gets a little too handsy, and Andrew is unable to control himself.
07:51 "Oh yeah, yes, that's it."
07:53 The scene ends with an insanely embarrassed Andrew running to the restroom to clean himself up
07:58 and a jubilant Maurice skipping into the ether.
08:00 "Jai-ho!"
08:01 "Whoa, what's wrong?"
08:05 "Uh, I have to go, Missy."
08:07 Why did it have to be with Missy, the show's most innocent character?
08:11 Number 11. Backroom brawl.
08:14 We got through five seasons of Big Mouth without a cockfighting storyline,
08:18 but the creators finally caved in with human resources.
08:21 In a parody of Rocky, Maurice fills the Mickey role as he looks out for a protege named,
08:26 you guessed it, Cocky.
08:28 "Who wants a slice of Mr. Beef?"
08:30 "Hey, I don't want a slice, I want the whole hand."
08:36 Hmm, should we be censoring Cocky?
08:39 Well, we don't censor Maurice's nose, so we think we're in the clear?
08:42 YouTube's rules are weird these days, but we digress.
08:45 "My brain hurts!"
08:48 "We'll get an aspirin after the fight."
08:52 Having lost his beloved Apollo in a fight,
08:54 Maurice fears that Cocky will meet the same fate.
08:57 Maurice nonetheless comes around,
08:58 giving Cocky the stimulation needed to go another round.
09:02 "You know who you remind me of? Apollo cream.
09:05 Because I am gonna make you finish this fight whether you want to or not."
09:10 He also tells Cocky how he can overcome his opponent,
09:13 painting the ring white.
09:15 It's the one Eye of the Tiger.
09:18 Number 10.
09:19 Live on the edge.
09:20 Even when he's trying to show his pupils how to stay in control,
09:24 Maury has a way of pushing things to the edge of vomiting.
09:27 Attending Maury's edging workshop,
09:29 Andrew is given a lesson on reaching the summit of pleasure
09:32 without quite going to the tippy top.
09:34 "It's perfect, you tease and you tease, building up tantric energy."
09:39 Maury paints a graphic portrait before telling the group
09:41 to start practicing in front of each other.
09:44 As if watching Andrew's sexual fantasies play out isn't disturbing enough,
09:48 we get to hear Maury talk him through his first edging session.
09:51 Andrew pulls out at the last second with a cringy bit of Freudianism.
09:56 As the audience recoils over what they just saw,
09:59 Maury and Andrew bond over the edgy experience they just shared.
10:02 "What a rush!"
10:03 "Get him in!"
10:04 "Wow, I feel so alive!"
10:06 Number 9.
10:07 Maury on group activities.
10:09 Proving that his sex-soaked brain knows no bounds yet again,
10:13 Maurice offers up his take on orgies in this hilarious scene
10:16 from Big Mouth's second episode.
10:18 After Nick ditches him to hang out with Jesse and the Devons,
10:21 Andrew is left alone with his thoughts,
10:23 which is almost never a good thing.
10:25 "Did that little bastard just ditch you?"
10:27 "Well, I guess he's supposed to hang out with his couple friends."
10:30 Maurice springs into action,
10:32 launching into a rant about certain group activities
10:35 and what Andrew can do if he ever finds himself in one with uneven numbers.
10:40 "Pretty soon I bet they'll all be swinging together."
10:42 It is sick, twisted, and okay, pretty funny.
10:46 "Every orgy needs a witness."
10:48 Number 8.
10:49 Maurice in class.
10:50 Do not, we repeat, do not let a hormone monster into the classroom
10:55 because we can guarantee that it will end badly for everyone involved.
11:00 "Fallopian, what a savory word."
11:03 Of course, our dear friend Andrew Glauberman had to learn this the hard way.
11:07 During the show's first episode,
11:09 the mere mention of fallopian tubes is enough to rouse Maurice.
11:13 He starts off by insisting Andrew take a little trip to the bathroom
11:16 and finishes with a crude joke at the young man's expense.
11:19 "If you want me to go away, you know what you have to do."
11:22 Offsetting the gag is an innocent as always missy
11:25 telling Andrew she'll take notes for him.
11:28 Talk about the perfect way to highlight just how gross Maurice truly is.
11:32 "Oh my god."
11:32 "I'll take notes for you, Andrew."
11:33 "Thanks, missy."
11:34 "Let's go, let's go."
11:35 Number 7.
11:36 Taking care of Connie.
11:38 We all know Maurice has a sick mind,
11:40 but this Human Resources episode takes him to real serial killer-y places.
11:44 With an office cold spreading,
11:46 Maurice wants to take care of a sniffling Connie.
11:49 "My throat's all scratchy scratchy."
11:51 "Connie, you sound sick.
11:54 Why don't you come back to my place and I can take care of you."
11:56 Like Annie Wilkes in Misery though,
11:58 Maurice's idea of caregiving soon snowballs into kidnapping.
12:02 He gets off on Connie's helplessness,
12:04 seeking to tuck her in to the point of no escape.
12:07 "What the hell did you do?"
12:08 "I gave you a super spready-tucky, just the way you like it."
12:14 Maurice's buttock isn't even the direst ingredient that he sneaks into Connie's soup.
12:18 Knocked out cold,
12:20 Connie wakes up in a sticky situation with an unnerving makeover.
12:23 "He also seems to have dressed you up like toddlers in tiaras."
12:26 Being the resourceful hormone monstrous she is,
12:30 Connie manages to get herself untucked,
12:32 switching places with Maurice.
12:34 "Big sneeze."
12:36 "What? How is that gonna-"
12:39 It's a good thing,
12:39 'cause we just do not want to know how far Maury would have taken this.
12:43 "Kiss me, my girl, before I am sick."
12:45 "Yeah, sure, whatever Daniel Dave Lewis."
12:48 Number 6.
12:50 The Cat Clock
12:52 We will never be able to look at a cat-shaped clock the same way again.
12:56 "Knock knock, who's there? It's the hormone monster."
12:59 During a sleepover at Nick's house,
13:01 Maurice decides to pay Andrew a visit in the middle of the night,
13:04 and it becomes clear from the moment he appears on screen
13:07 that the interaction is not gonna end with any sort of decency.
13:11 Shall we discuss Maury's implication that Nick's grandmother
13:13 bought him the clock for a certain ornery purpose?
13:16 "Nick's grandmother gave him that clock."
13:18 "She knew what she was doing."
13:19 How about when he calls Andrew a-
13:21 "Perfectly normal, gross little dirtbag."
13:24 It's Maurice being Maurice,
13:25 and as per usual,
13:26 he takes things way too far.
13:29 "Her eyes are darting back and forth, thinking, 'Meow, meow.'"
13:32 Number 5.
13:33 Swimsuit Shenanigans
13:35 There's a time and a place for everything.
13:37 If Maury is your hormone monster, though,
13:40 the time is any time and the place is anywhere.
13:43 "Ark, I am the beast, and Leah's bathing suit, 'tis the sun."
13:47 Leah's bathing suit alone is enough to get Andrew and Maury excited.
13:50 The article of clothing is just hanging there,
13:53 but Maury motivates his young apprentice to get up close and personal.
13:56 "Not gonna do that. Nick's whole family is out there."
13:59 As if that isn't creepy enough,
14:01 Maury encourages Andrew to go much further,
14:03 with the door unlocked.
14:05 "Come on, it's just us. Nobody's gonna know. Eat up, fat boy."
14:09 You see where this is going.
14:10 It might be another level of embarrassment for Andrew,
14:13 but Maury sees no reason why he can't wrap things up.
14:16 Number 4.
14:20 Maurice Goes Into Labor
14:22 When Maury became a saint with Connie's baby,
14:25 the birth was bound to be something extra.
14:27 "Congrats, brother."
14:29 As is the case with any pregnancy,
14:31 you might know what's coming, but nothing can prepare you for the delivery.
14:35 This goes double for hormone monsters.
14:38 Maury is caught off guard twice.
14:40 "Maurice Beverly, I wanna go halvesies on that baby in your guts.
14:45 Will you have me as your baby mama?"
14:47 First, Connie shows up to the shower,
14:49 declaring that she wants to be part of the child's life.
14:52 Her timing is impeccable, as the little bugger is coming now.
14:56 If you are wondering where exactly the baby would emerge from,
15:00 it is the same region where Maury released his bubble guts.
15:03 It is not pretty, but it is a fundamental practice in the circle of life.
15:08 "They will be called Montel."
15:10 Number 3.
15:11 Shipping Andrew and His Cousin
15:13 Oh, Andrew, you sure can pick 'em.
15:16 Andrew cannot deny that he's attracted to his cousin, Cherry,
15:19 and Maury is not standing in their way.
15:21 If anything, he's a cheerleader for the relationship.
15:24 "She's done me the great honor of texting me this."
15:26 "Hot-chim-machy."
15:28 After Cherry sends a flirtatious selfie,
15:30 Maury once again suggests that Andrew respond with a pic below the belt.
15:34 "This time it's actually appropriate."
15:36 "No, still not."
15:37 Although Andrew remains hesitant, Maury gets him on board this time.
15:41 "Just do it."
15:41 "But it could go so badly."
15:43 "Come on."
15:43 "I mean, what if she sees it and she hates it?"
15:46 While Andrew isn't the most elegant photographer,
15:49 Maury has an eye for this thing.
15:51 Maury might be skilled with a camera,
15:52 but he's not up to date on modern technology,
15:55 accidentally uploading Andrew's pics to the cloud for the whole family to see.
15:59 "Barbara, why'd you upload all these pictures of pink mushrooms?"
16:03 "What?"
16:03 "What are you talking about?"
16:04 "I'm looking at the computer."
16:06 "No."
16:06 "And I'm seeing dozens of, uh, hotdog ends."
16:10 It's so mortifying that Maury gives Andrew some extreme existential advice,
16:14 which he thankfully doesn't take.
16:19 After that previous entry, you wouldn't think Maury could possibly get Andrew
16:24 into a more compromising position involving his parents.
16:26 Just wait another season, however.
16:29 "We're gonna get through the method this time."
16:31 "Stay focused."
16:31 When his grandfather dies, Andrew feels responsible
16:34 because he didn't perform the method right.
16:37 This completely throws off Andrew's routine.
16:40 Reuniting with his cousin at the funeral,
16:42 Andrew finds the inspiration for sweet relief.
16:44 "Guess who?"
16:45 "Joy Behar."
16:46 "You're such a nervous nerd, I love it."
16:49 Unfortunately, the only room with any privacy
16:52 is the one containing his grandfather's body.
16:54 Maury sees this not as an issue, but rather as an opportunity to achieve closure.
17:00 "I am so sorry that I killed you."
17:03 "I know you are, Andrew.
17:04 I can't stand to watch you suffer under so much stress."
17:07 While Zadie's ghost gives him permission,
17:09 Andrew still hasn't learned his lesson about locking doors.
17:12 Maury has convinced Andrew to explore his body in some inappropriate locales,
17:17 but a funeral takes the casket.
17:19 "You gotta understand, this is what Zadie wanted."
17:22 "Hahahahaha, yep, public humiliation is exactly what I wanted."

17:45 The Head
17:46 Topping the last entry would have been tough were it not for this truly
17:50 disturbing interaction between Maurice and the severed head of Garrison Keillor.
17:54 "This is Garrison Keillor, the former host of NPR's 'A Prairie Home Companion'."
17:58 "A lovely thing about Christmas is it's compulsory."
18:02 Andrew sicks the former radio personality on Maurice
18:05 in an attempt to buy some alone time with Missy,
18:08 but forgets that Maurice will do literally anything in order to get what he wants.
18:12 "You just ruined your first kiss, I warned you."
18:15 This includes decapitating Keillor and proceeding to...
18:18 well, let's just say he does something to shut him up that almost made us puke.
18:23 "Garrison, no!"
18:24 It's scenes like this that prove television has come a long way in a short time,
18:28 and that Nick Kroll's hormone monster is unlike any character we've seen before.
18:33 Do you think Maury crossed any lines or do you think a hormone monster can never go too far?
18:38 Share your thoughts in the comments.
18:40 "No, this is the end, struck down in my prime."
