I really enjoyed an event hosted by Netflix tonight that featured the animated shows “Big Mouth” and “BoJack Horseman.” Actor Nick Kroll is one of the creators of “Big Mouth” and I was able to get a shot with him at the mixer. #netflixfysee #animation #bigmouth #comedy #adulthumor @netflix @bigmouthofficial
Look at them bois
Honestly I was worried about watching this show bc the only thing holding me back was the "Life is a Fucked Up Mess" song (bc I'm already existential enough) and I just finished watching all of it with my dad last night, and yeah, that song was still sad, but there was something about having all of the rest of the context that made it that much sadder and more meaningful, and it's a wonderfully ridiculous show with fucked up humor but its portrayal of human problems is so painfully accurate
^^^ this guy. This guy gets it.
NICE

Can We Talk About Big Mouth for a Minute?
So honestly… I really loved this show. everything about it. Even the character design. Yes, it’s ugly… But I really see it as a metaphor for puberty as a whole. It’s ugly. It sucks. I would know, I’ve been going through puberty for years now and I have many more to go. Puberty is one of the ugliest experiences that I and many others have gone through.
And note, I will make a lot of comparisons to Family Guy in this. This isn’t me trying to shit talk Family Guy, I really do enjoy Family Guy, but I do recognize it is not the best show production wise. I like Family Guy and I like Big Mouth too. Another note, this does contain spoilers of the show.
There are many other amazing things about this show as well. For example, the continuity is absolutely phenomenal. Almost every single episode references an episode before it, and it’s attention to detail is absolutely amazing. As well as that, they even keep continuity from the episode itself (and example of this is how Maurice drew a sex creature when he punched a hole in the wall and it stayed there throughout the rest of the episode). It really goes to show; Even some of the most popular adult cartoons don’t take the time to keep up the continuity (Family Guy has one of the bigger problems with continuity, I know it’s had way more episodes but some of them are just very careless, and could have been easily fixed).
As well as that, they put their budget to good use. I don’t know how much money the creators had to make each episode of Big Mouth, but it must have been a lot, since these characters actually have body movement! For comparison, Family Guy often has scenes where characters talk and just… stand there. They’re only talking, no moving back to react or moving around their arms. And a single episode of Family Guy costs around 1 million dollars. The energy in the show is constant, and there isn’t a point where I’m ever bored while watching.
And now onto the characters. Each character is their own, unique character, and while some of them do play to a stereotype (The biggest and most prominent of this being Matthew), they still are their own characters. To compare two stereotypical characters, let’s take Jasper from Family Guy and Matthew. Jasper was made with the intention of having a gay character close to the main cast so they could give their opinion on gay marriage. That’s basically it. I love Jasper but he could be entirely written out and the only thing that would be affected is one episode being written and maybe some scenes. Matthew was written to be gay, yes, but he was also written as his own character; even though we don’t get to learn much about him, we are introduced to him as a snarky bastard who loves drama and insulting people before he’s introduced officially as gay. And even further, these are characters we can really sympathize with, especially those we can relate with. Maybe it’s because these characters are kids, but their struggle through puberty, sexuality, and whatnot is realistic, and I could feel for the characters (especially in episodes like Everybody Bleeds, I could relate to the struggle of Jessi as she faces embarrassment of getting her period in a public place and bleeding through). The show really managed to pull off sad moments as well, which is very rare in adult cartoons (I’ve really only ever seen it pulled off in South Park), and I honestly teared up at these scenes (like the end of I Survived Jessi’s Bat Mitzvah, showing the aftermath of Andrew and Missy’s breakup, and how sad they both were). I was able to really feel these characters, and just how real it felt (even with their metaphor for puberty, aka Connie, Maurice and Rick).
Also, the amount of diversity in the show is amazing?? Of course they have a gay character, but they also have a Jewish character, a physically disabled character, a (hinted) Autistic character, and just so much more and honestly, I live for it.
Overall, if you haven’t checked the show out, do yourself a favor and check it out. It’s one of the best animated TV shows I have ever seen, and it deserves so much more praise than it gets. I really hope this show gets picked up for a season 2, because I honestly need more.
i hope we get loads more matthew content in season 2 hes the best
thank god snakes don't have nipples
