Big Mouth’s most revolting moments as controversial Netflix cartoon returns for season 5
NETFLIX'S hit cartoon Big Mouth is back for a fifth season - despite being slammed for 'glorifying paedophilia' by disgusted viewers.
The animated series has been created by Family Guy writer Andrew Goldberg and centres on pre-pubescent teens - Nick, Andrew, Jay, Jessi and Missy.
A coming-of-age sitcom, viewers follow along as the youngsters make their own, and sometimes very different, journeys through puberty.
Despite the show airing four seasons since 2017, outraged viewers have spoken out over its content - a no-holds-barred approach to puberty, including masturbation.
One outspoken critic tweeted: "For those of you that like Big Mouth, how does it feel being a border line pedophile?"
"Please highlight this show!! Glorifies preteen masturbation," wrote another.
As season five arrives on Netflix today (November 5), here are the show's most revolting moments so far so you can make your own judgement...
Andrew's sock pile is revealed
When Andrew (voiced by John Mulaney) breaks up with Missy (Jenny Slate), he discovers internet pornography and well, the rest is history for the teenager.
An addiction ensues - documented by a growing pile of socks in his bedroom. Need we say more?

Andrew sexting his cousin
It really is as bad as it sounds when Andrew starts a sexual relationship with his own cousin.
Bad decisions from every angle are explored as viewers watch as Andrew sends over some rather explicit photos.
The snaps are the result of a cringe-worthy photoshoot helped along by one of the Hormone Monsters.
Jay and his pillow
Simply put, Jay (Jason Mantzoukas) has a habit of having sex with his pillow.
Nothing too unusual for a teen, except this pillow has a name and Jay has feelings for it.
The vibe of the programme is definitely seen in the development of this surreal storyline, which ends with Pam the Pillow (Kristen Bell) giving birth to their child.
Coach Steve and Jay's Mum get it on
Jay befriends Coach Steve (Nick Kroll) and decides to set him up on a date with his mum, after the teacher asks his permission to sleep with her.
All this despite the fact his mum is a married woman.
The setup is made all the more hilarious as a naive Steve is shown finding his way through his first real sexual encounter and losing his virginity.
