Oct 21, 2017What starts off as a cute and clever cartoon that takes a look at the absurity of going through puberity slowly gets really weird, starts to go off the tracks and strays from what made it good to begin with.

Oct 13, 2017A dirtier version of South Park. Actually funny at times, but sometimes overly gross. It is entertaining at best. Not a fan of the animation. The voice actors should sound more like kids instead of adults.

Dec 10, 2017I generally liked the show, the humor and jokes are honest and funny. The only downfall for me was the musical numbers on every episode, maybe if there was just one in the season I would have been fine like ah its just a parody of modern kids shows. But it got a bit extreme when every episode has a 2-3 minute long musical number.
Otherwise I think the show is pretty good -
Apr 11, 2019Big Mouth is an exercise in smugness and gross-out humor. When I watch a comedy, I don't really want to be beaten over the head with how cool and enlightened the writers are. We get it - you guys are urbane and socially conscious. Not to mention, John Mulaney's and Maya Rudolph's voices can be quite grating. I recommend watching Kroll Show over this hipstery and overly cute comedy.

If Big Mouth were just a series of jokes about how weird and gross puberty is, it wouldn’t be much more than a decent way to kill some time during a slow weekend. But the show achieves a new, deeper level of comedy by remaining hyper aware of the fact that puberty isn’t just about bodies changing, but about what it means to grow up at all.

Big Mouth works because it’s unflinchingly honest. Whether it’s mining twisted jokes or universal human experiences, the whole concept comes together because it consistently tells the truth.

There’s a frankness and honesty beneath the show’s raunchiness that sometimes echo the best work of Judy Blume and other great chroniclers of adolescent angst, especially where the fraught and seldom-discussed feelings of boys are involved. It’s charming and repulsive all at once.
