No Nut November is the first episode of Season 5 of Big Mouth. It is the forty-second episode, overall.
Synopsis[]
The gang all decides to take the "No Nut November" challenge.
Plot[]
Attempting to take his mind off of Lola, Jay decides to attempt No Nut November, with Andrew, Jessi and Nick all joining in a competition to see who makes it. Unable to stop Andrew from feeling horny, Maury teaches him about the practice of Edging. At Nick's house the trio attempt to watch the film Doubt in an effort to not be aroused, only for Andrew to lose control while practicing edging, resulting in ejaculating in his pants in front of Nick's family. At the same time, Jessi steals Judd's shirt and loses the competition as well. Nick has an erotic wet dream about Jessi that night. Meanwhile, Missy fantasizes about Devon, feeling confused, and eventually breaks up with her fantasy version of Nathan Fillion. Jay unfollows Lola, who taunts him on social media, so she shows up at his house to tempt him. This ends in a fight where both refuse to apologize to the other, and Lola vows to make Jay cum in the month. Jay has an "emotional orgasm" while trying not to think of her and is told he has failed but lasted the longest by the spirit of Kumail Nanjiani. The episode ends with a montage of various characters masturbating while Andrew narrates that he was kicked out of a real estate model home for it.

Cultural References[]
- This episode's plot is similar to the Seinfeld episode, "The Contest," where Jerry, George, Kramer, and Elaine all made a bet to see who could go the longest without masturbating or having sex. This is lampshaded several times;
- Nick and Andrew's dialogue mirrors the dialogue of Jerry and George, respectively from the episode, including lines like "No Chance"; "I could hold out longer than you"; and "Care to make it interesting?" which all come directly from the episode's transcript.
- The Seinfeld cutaway gags, previously seen in "The Head Push," return once more.
- Nick addresses Andrew as "George CostAndrew".
- Jessi is initially rejected from the contest for being a girl, just like Elaine was at the start of the episode.
- Nick quotes The Soup Nazi, saying "No Soup For Us!" ("Soup" in this context, being a stand-in for "Semen").
- Near the end of the episode, Rick addresses Jessi as "Elaine".
- Andrew's narration of this episode is a parody on Goodfellas.
- Kumail Nanjiani advertizes his 2017 movie The Big Sick.
- Connie compares John Travolta to Count Chocula.
- One of Lola's descriptions is "Pretty Little Liar", referencing to the show, Pretty Little Liars.
- Some of Maury's dicks look like celebrities, such as Irish musician, The Edge, Australian actor Hugh Jackman, and English musician, Sting.
- Nick, Andrew, and Jessi watch Doubt.
- Nathan Fillion references to the video games Fortnite and Mario Brothers.
- Lola and Rick sing a seductive song to the tune of the iconic 1800's tune, Arabian Riff, also known as "The Streets of Cairo" or "The Poor Little Country Maid".
- Connie makes jokes on such feminist movements as #MeToo, Times Up, and Women's March.
Errors[]
- This episode supposedly takes place right before the start of November or at least on the first day of the month. However, "Horrority House" took place on Halloween and that episode was two episodes prior, putting the episode "What Are You Gonna Do?" in a timeless paradigm.
