Editor’s note: this post contains spoilers for the first three seasons of The Boys.
Amazon Prime Video’s wildly over-the-top and wonderfully edgy superhero show The Boys just got renewed for a fourth season, and that means we can look forward to even more barely-believable moments from the show.
From the first episode, The Boys has delivered on the goods, becoming not only one of the best shows on TV, but also one of the most shocking. We truly never know what levels of depravity, violence, gore, and chaos we’ll see on the show.
To celebrate The Boys renewal, let's look back at 11 of the show’s wildest, most WTF moments.
The Boys started off on the WTF foot by having the star Hughie’s girlfriend explode right in front of him when the superhero A-Train runs through her at superspeed. After this, we should’ve known the show wouldn’t stop delivering.
Sometimes, the gore and sex do cross over, as in this scene where a supe named Popclaw has superhero roleplaying sex with her landlord, sitting on his face and crushing his entire head into pulp when she orgasms.
Chase Crawford’s Aquaman-knockoff The Deep is responsible for a lot of the show’s truly unbelievable moments, and one of them was when he was trying to rescue a dolphin he’s friends with, and possibly more. As the dolphin hangs in a harness in the back of a van, and begs The Deep to have sex with him and take their relationship to the next level, The Deep slams on his breaks, shooting the dolphin out of the van and into the street, where he’s immediately run over by a truck.
No one is safe on The Boys, and that includes babies. When Butcher and MM are trapped in a Vought lab, Butcher picks up a superpowered baby with laser eyes, and uses it to slaughter the men after them.
In season two when The Deep is going through some self discovery, he has a moment of learning to love his body where he opens his shirt up, revealing a pair of gills on his abdomen. Not only that, but the gills (voiced by Patton Oswalt) sing a duet with him of “You Are So Beautiful to Me.”
Once again, it’s The Deep. The Deep has a plan to stop Butcher and crew from coming ashore by riding a giant sperm whale to block their path. Unfortunately, Butcher doesn’t give a sh*t and drives his speedboat right into the whale, impaling it and covering everyone in guts.
Homelander had been using a shapeshifting supe named Doppelganger to keep having mommy-issues sex with his season one handler, but when that’s not working, the shapeshifter turns into a new form, that of Homelander himself, taking masturbation to the ultimate level.
When MM, Frenchie, and Kimiko are investigating a home for supes, they find one man with the disgusting codename Love Sausage, and an extendable, prehensile penis. It’s so long it breaks through a glass window and is able to wrap around MM's neck, choking him.
When Congresswoman Victoria Neuman finally gets her congressional hearing on Supes, the whole thing goes to hell when everyone in the room’s heads start exploding. What a great way to end the second season!
When shrinking supe Termite goes on a coke-fueled sex romp, he shrinks down to tiny size and is able to walk into his partner’s penis. The scene used a real giant penis prop, making it even more incredible. Unfortunately, when Termite sneezed, he grew back to regular size, exploding his partner from the inside out.
First, we saw The Deep looking deeply into a belly of an octopus named Timothy while he had sex with his wife, talking to the octopus and saying he wants all his arms on him. Then, later, in order to rejoin The Seven, Homelander forces The Deep to eat Timothy alive. The deep complies, taking a bite into his friend as he screams and begs for his life in a language only The Deep can hear.
