Season four of Big Mouth is finally here, and so is the start of eighth grade for our favorite Bridgeton Middle Schoolers. Despite successfully surviving the previous semester filled with heartbreak, betrayal, musical numbers, and self-discovery, Nick, Andrew, and the rest of the gang will have to navigate even more important topics this year, like racial and gender identity, coming out to your parents, changing schools, and the dreaded summer ritual of group showers at sleepaway camp. I’m Whitney Van Laningham, and this is my spoiler-free AND spoiler review of Big Mouth season 4.

Unpopular Opinion: Lola and Jay had one of the most whole and communicative relationships in the entire Big Mouth show.
I was literally broken when they broke up😭
I know right??? Their relationship is literally more wholesome and communicative than half the relationships between college students lmao
And the characters became so much more relatable cause we understand now why they were/are like "that". They're just kids who are in need of love, already felt that with Jay/Nick's family, but I really felt for Lola this season (apart from the boy falling in the screw part)
Bruh this ain’t unpopular
Same
@@cat_meow1980 yeah they were the main reasins i kept watching, the most freaky but somewhat healthy relationship both were communicative and looked out for each other needs while being freaks of nature.
I loved the gratitoad. It would have been so easy to make him annoying, but thankfully he was really charming & helpful
Yeah hopefully we get to see him more he’s my new fave monster
I thought it was a really cool way to address anxiety. I have anxiety and depression. Honestly, remembering what I'm grateful for and that I have people who love me really helps. You are right it could have been really obnoxious but I think they did it really well and it felt relatable.
@@wifeofsauron1658 I think what made him so great is that he didn’t ‘tell’ Jessie what to be grateful for. He said what he was, and only supported what she said. He didn’t say “oh you must be grateful for x,y,z”. Telling people what they should be grateful for can cause more depression, making them feel worse because they didn’t already feel 1 way.
@@Talongirl333 I 100% agree. And I thought it was really cool that they represented that it can be embarrassing and uncomfortable at first to express what you are grateful for.
Yesss Alan from the hangover so funny
I finished it in a day and it was pretty good.

I binge watched it back to back
Done in under 5 hours
@Tyshawn Tom It was grosser than the other seasons but it had some good character development which I can appreciate. As the saying goes time flies when you’re having fun.
Okay but Maurry raging at Matthew's mother was everything, I just wish she could hear it
Oh yes I gained so much respect for him after that , because he knew his mom wouldn't be able to see him but he still went off to make Matthew feel better
@@molly4857 I actually love the fact the he actually love matthew. He is her favorite kid, you can tell haha
@@0909Hc0909 nah Andrews the favourite
@@l.emery0655 he literally said Matthews his fav
Me too
1:39 please tell me I'm not the only one who noticed Milk Naruto running
I'm still wondering why that happens, I don't know if it supposed to Show that Milk isn't actually Milk... I mean, he said that there isn't a Tom Brady, and he run pretty fast when he sucked at playing volleyball
@@fernandocores7279 u hella overanalyzing milk's just a nerd lol
He's a nerd we ALL noticed
I legit thought Michael Angelo was 19 and in college... they’re artistic guys like this around my city
I thought he was like a junior in highschool until the show said 9th grade🤣
I thought the same thing too. He seemed way too old.
Definitely got the college creeper vibes as well
@@aaunyea4799 yh I'm from the UK and I just realized that grade 9 for you is my school year and that seems so odd BC I assumed he was just some university nonce
right
I was kinda disappointed that we didn’t get enough of missys hormone monster. I was expecting more of her because of her cool show up at the end of the last season
She did enough to give Missy some good development
Thandie is expensive to get in the booth lol
I was more happy for Missy's character development. Plus Maury seems into her, I'm sure she'll be around more if theirs more seasons.
I think we will get more of her next season because Missy’s voice actor is changing and I think the show will use her monster to explain it. Even though it’s because they wanted a black actress to play Missy, I think the show will find a way to explain it.
@@adamlambboy8332 the voice actors switched in the last episode i think her mirror episode and the whole finding herself was them trying to explain it maybe
Saying big mouth is too far is like saying South Park is too far
It’s never too far
i will say the fingering stuff was a little bit too much for me but that was the only part.
Don’t put big mouth next to South Park. Big mouth can’t hold a tee
@@RM22201 they are both hilarious and satirical
@@vforvendetta4345 it’s extreme satire
@@RM22201 you missed the point I’m saying both are extreme satire
One thing I always love about Big Mouth is how each season I find myself relating to at the very least one character in a very personal way. Not too many shows can do that.
This season the characters i related to most were Missy and Nick.
Missy because much like her character this season, in my youth and teenage years, I've never really felt "Black". I'm not biracial but I was never into the things most black kids at my school or that were into. From music choices, clothing, what I liked, how I talked, or even saying the N word, Not that any of those things are what it means to be "Black". But as the quiet nerdy kid by myself, I felt left out. People even used to say I acted "White". It really confused me when I was young. I even had to Code Switch (much like DeVon's song) and changed the way I talked around other black people.
It wasn't until college that I gained interest in things rap music and slang and certain clothing choices. And I realized (just like missy) I can still be "black" and be myself, I don't have to give up parts of myself to experience new things or belong anywhere. I learned being black was being myself, so when I saw missy accept herself, I got emotional.
And Nick, as I got older there was a apart in my life (and still kinda now, but I'm working on it) where I felt dead inside. Where I was becoming more of an asshole and distancing myself from people, because of my own Anxiety and insecurities. I was trying to not be hurt by anything that it made me cold inside.
But seeing Nick accept himself good and bad, and what he thought of that part of himself. Gave me a bit a a panic attack myself and even allowed me to examine myself. It was powerful and well done and had me on the verge of tears.
I really enjoyed this season, and what it conveyed about pressure and anxiety.
Edit: and although to a lesser extent, As someone who suffered from serious constipation and had bathroom anxiety, when I was a younger.
I can tell you his problems werenot entirely inaccurate, from stomach swelling, to your breath literally stinking, and when it finally happens (after a long time)it's basically like giving birth and as bad as Andrew displayed it.
@Joshua Harris hmm For what?
@Joshua Harris oh, wow. That's cool to hear, thank you for telling me that (I kinda needed it)
And I'm glad I could connect with you. :-)
Yeah I can relate
I'm a black chick raised in a town that was only 3% black i know how you feel lol
I know this isn’t the most important topic you touched on but when I little I was so scared to use the bathroom and I got so constipated I ended up vomiting poop and going into the hospital bathroom anxiety is real.
Not gonna lie when Nick saw his other self inside Nick Star kinda got me choked up cause I’m currently going through a similar situation.
I can't lie I felt kinda the same. I did not do a good job building a friend circle around me and am in my late 20's now. It's never to late to change tho
Same
Honestly her opinion on Nick Starr kinda felt off. Nick Starr is the representation of everything he doesn't want to be, and he fears he's gonna be Nick Starr in the future causing the anxiety mosquito to gain power over him. I feel like we can relate to Nick on some level, some relate to him more than others but it is definitely accurate. Like my worst fear is becoming like my father and hurting my kids like he hurt my brother and I. My dad is like my Nick Starr in a sense. But I like how Big Mouth said it's not too late to change but I hope it's carried out through the next seasons because change doesn't happen in one day.
I hate how relatable this show is sometimes. Like the whole gratitude thing might be something I actually try lol.
It was basically nicks downward arc that Andrew experienced In season four. The main difference this time is Nick starr exists mainly in a possible future and Nick avoids becoming the r/niceguy he has elements of showing. Andrew is almost not really over missy as he does try and hit on her initially. Andrew mainly shoved his toxic masculinity into his male peers whereas Nick seems to throw himself at Jessi and other girls by forcing his apparently not renounced feelings from when they dated
I just watched Season 4, and on a scale of 1 to 10, i’d give this season an 8.5 to 9.5, The Season is Great
What are you gonna do?
What am I gonna do?!?! Agree.
Best season in my opinion!!!
@dagiftofgab247 Ong it’s prolly their worst season
@dagiftofgab247 AGREED
2.5/10
Honestly I was a little disappointed that just seeing a therapist did not have way more episodes because she appeared a little lie near the end of the season and I would like to see her again in season 5 the way more prominent
it was her influence that gave the group the gratitoad
I really like the coupling that was started in this season. The future episode hinting at a future between Andrew and Gina got me hoping for more next season.
I want AndrewxGina to be canon
Is the future even fully cannon? Remember it still was a dream
Their coupling makes no sense whatsoever. Andrew is fucked up in the head lol think they were "coupled" because Andrew is his bestfriend and they had that falling out and Gina was a girl Nick hurt and that wouldn't go for his shit anymore. All the people that mattered to Nick showed up in his dream of his future.
@@lgk9589 even if it was the real future they defeated nick Starr in the finale so it's irrelevant now
While that would be cool, I'd much prefer to see him and Cheryl end up together
Can we talk about Matthew coming out to his dad and his dad being cool about it. It made me cry so much. Also, the little scene where Aiden tells him sometimes you need to rip the band-aid in order to heal. Great character development
I was sad that Judd didn’t get more screen time
Big mouth high school is going to be even crazier.
On god
@@phoenixfowlkes I feel for you if you think "god" is just a word.
Its slang dickheas
@@koiiyhonze9148 Wait, god isn't a word?
@@koiiyhonze9148 I’m assuming you’re a Christian, albeit a bad one. “God” shouldn’t be used in vain, implying that you shouldn’t curse god. Also, note the capitalization. It is just a word when there’s no capitalization.
Tito the anxiety mosquito was a great foil for everyone because anxiety if everyone and just like the shame wizard was a great character throughout the entire season and I'm really sad that the shame wizard only had that brief Cameo once again much like in season 3 I wish you were here again and make somebody way more than that one scene
@Oliphant Kid the thing is because Andrew is so gross and PERVERTED. He isn't shameful of what he's doing. So there's no reason for the wizard to be there. Like I'm the episode where they all accept their shameful acts and embrace it the wizard leaves. They have to feel the same for him to be there
I love the shame wizard he's my favorite. I kinda wanna see self harm walrus but not really lol.
Yeah all the poop stuff was a bit much for me xD
It's too indoctrinate you so u can be a sick person.
As someone who suffered from serious constipation and had bathroom anxiety.
I can tell you it's not entirely inaccurate, from your stomach swelling, to your breath literally stinking, and when it finally happens (after a long time)it's basically like giving birth and as bad as Andrew displayed it.
I have major bowel issues thanks to IBS. I suffered terribly with the combination of shame and pain as a teen. I think having bodily function stuff opened up would have helped my past self.
As someone who suffers from constipation, it might've made me very uncomfortable to the point where I had to skip most of those scenes, but it was painfully accurate😭😭
@@funwithakthechannelwherean4510 I know the feeling, it's can be really painful to even think about past moments I had that were like this.
But like most things in this show it was cathartic.
“BE GAY TOTALLY GAY” LMAO THAT SECNE A THROWBACK TO SEASON 1 LMAO 😂
I loved Mathews conflict in this season and I’m not gay. I love how accepting his dad was can’t wait to see what season 5 has in store
I loved how he was accepting but still not 100% comfortable. Like, you ain’t gonna see this guy at any pride events and he probably won’t be telling all his friends his son is gay. But he loves him and will listen if he needs to talk. It’s such a real middle ground that you almost never see in media.
@Marin Morg Honestly I think it’s more common than you think it is. Most people don’t want to disown their kids and be assholes, but not everyone is the type of person to go full blown “awesome my kid is gay!” At least not right off the bat. I think a heck of a lot of parents are just like.... “cool, but let’s not talk about it.” But those people don’t really share their coming out stories cause it wasn’t really dramatic. I think there’s a lot of middle ground in parent reactions and it’s kinda silly that the media only represents the two extremes.
I can't wait bro. Lol
I'm glad they didn't change Missy's voice without explanation, they actually fit it into her discovering herself.
Not gonna lie,i didn't even notice it changed. Guess that means they did a good job.
@@JT5555 It's a little noticable, but only because the new voice actor doesn't give Missy the slight nasally sound to her voice.
Omg they BETTER have Natalie in the next season or I’d riot 😡
I know! I wish she went to school with the main cast.
the moment the character appeared my eyes brightened up. I instantly liked her and wish she would appear more through the whole season.
they better bring her back
She wasn’t even that good of a character
@@xavierfry4540 unpopular opinion
Not gonna lie I wouldn't even mind if they came up with some shoehorned stupid reason for her to come to their school just so I see her again
i thought some things were messed up but the message at the end of the day is accept yourself and be happy
💯
Honestly as a pansexual the pansexual bit doesnt bother me one bit, none of the jokes do because ik there not there to offend anyone.
"but that unfortunately means less time of couch Steve"
Steve: "HEY I LOVE YOU TOO, who said that?"
"It felt like a really long 28 minute 9/11 joke that didnt really land"
Neither did the planes....
I'll see myself out
Ong I laugh so hard but it’s not funny
They crash landed
This show help me relate because I have too handle “code switching” ALOT. (i’m a black male in the United States) Also, I went to a diabetic camp in Texas from 6 to 19. I know you feel like Natalie should of joined the rest of the cast at school but that’s not reality. It’s not a strong session BUT I still love it. I’m a die hard fan of Big Mouth so I’m always going to support Big Mouth.
Come on look the point of nick’s arc was to show that being alone is something people are constantly afraid of and we are sometimes afraid of our future self. It’s not about us Turning into an evil future emotionless tv host
Why assign someone who clearly doesn't appreciate Big Mouth to do a review about it? Season 4 was amazing! 😁
Agreed ✨
Right? It kind of felt like she really didn’t enjoy the show and was nit picking concepts she didn’t understand
@@Vampirelilianfitzroy I've always related to Jessie so hard, especially the heavy period storyline. The same thing happened to me when I was her age! 😅
@@HopelessDeviate exactly!!! And the complaint about it being a reoccurring storyline, uh yeah as a woman we get periods every month and it doesn’t just stop cause it’s inconvenient or we’re sick of it so why would Jessie’s? Periods can be unpredictable downright awful and I appreciated the writers didn’t just shy away and pretend it was over and done with after she first got it, after all it’s a show about the horrors of puberty
'This should have happened, that should have happened'. What's the point? She sounds like an easily triggered SJW snowflake too
I honestly started shipping Natalie and Jessi even though It most likely won't happen. Even so I hope we get more of her.
I'm also tired of Nick switching monsters, I really liked him with Connie.
I think my favorite moment of the season was when Maury went to yell at Matthew's mom. I love that Maury has a soft spot for Matthew, but I think most of us have had that moment when we're sad and upset at our parents over something, and we all wanted someone to come to our defense and tell our parents how "good they have it with us being their kid". I definitely had those fantasies as a teen, for the times I could only think about standing up to my parents when I felt they were being unfair and mean. I know Matt's mom never heard Maury but it was nice to see Matt's face smile through his tears when Maury was yelling at his mom, knowing that he is loved by someone.
I wonder when they're going to give us information about the big mouth spinoff coming soon like when it will be released and who will be in the cast
I really dont understand why anybody cares who's voicing a cartoon character of a specific race.
It’s Twitter race means everything 2 those people
Same, like I'm black and couldn't grasp why the race of the voice actor had to match the character... Like, men voice women, women voice little kids, black people voice white people, it's acting for the voice not the face or anything FFS 🙄
Exactly. And then Hank Azaria stoppved voicing Apu in the Simpsons because of all the pressure from the deranged woke mob. However it wasn't an issue when he changed his voice to do Groundskeeper WIllie.....
Before this season, I wanted to see Nick and Jessi together. It made me happy to see them help each other, even if they didn’t get together. I also liked seeing how dating can pressure a person to change themselves, and how unhealthy it is. I’m glad Jessi got out of that relationship and is starting to be happy and shrink her depression.
I wish i had big mouth growing up it has so much info that i needed in middle and high school and on top of that it helps me with my self confidence as a 25 yr old adult
As a trans person. I. LOVE. NATALIE! AND I WISH WE GOT MUCH MORE OF HER! It opened so many doors and I did have questions as to how they'd handle a trans character and they did answer some of my questions but I have so much more! I wonder if they'll do more with the spin off, or will she come back? Or will another trans character come in? Like a trans man or a non-binary person? Is gender dysphoria it's own monster? Or do other monsters cause it? When a person starts hormones do they get a new hormone monster? They go into a bit about Seth liking Natalie and wondering if it's weird UGHHH I loved her so much! I hope we see more of her in future seasons.
Imagine being trans couldn't be me
Hopefully she is in season 5 I find her story more fun than Andrew's mostly except when he had that acid trip it was hilarious poop madness aka shit for brains.
@@kilopopki4947 🤡🤡🤡
Bro, Big Mouth was actually tamer (in a good way) while discussing relevant. The only thing that made me uncomfortable was the sorority name.
Any else wanna wanna give up pooping to see the acid trip Andrew had.
Wasn’t he in horrible pain lmao
@@auuuuugh4296 everything comes at a price.
Hallucinations from sepsis won't be fun and you could end up with a colostomy bag or die. But its your life man.
Edit: Forgot to add that it is definitely possible to vomit shit, not just a cartoon gimmick.
@@meggiefbaby1397 Really?? Holy shit😳. I know that the whole constipation tragedy/symbolism he went through was just to teach Andrew a lesson that after the way he treated nick, he was literally "full of shit" but I never knew that could actually happen 😂
Ngl i googled if hallucinating is a symptom of severe constipation LMAO i mean could have been right
My favorite character is connie and i love how they gave her a lot more screen time then they did the other seasons
She's so warm
Is it just me or is does this season feel a little short?
Honestly
Well it was shorter than seaosn 3
Missy's voice change was a missed opportunity for some self aware humor that I LOVE the show for.
This is going to be very long.
I HONESTLY LOVED THIS SEASON!!! Okay my favorite aspects:
1. JAY AND LOLA! Cutest couple so far! They were so good for each other, so happy and healthy! They don’t care about what others think because they just had a connection! Jay really listens to Lola ugh just so great. And how they acted like an old married couple HAHAHA! And they’re Bonnie and Clyde costumes OMG! Sooo upset they split up. I get how Lola would be reluctant to admit she loves Jay and I think it was childish and selfish of Jay to dump her. I hope they overcome this fight and get together again in future seasons.
2. Monsters/creatures! The Depression Kitty and Tito were a great duo (and by great I mean comically, not actually haha). It really portrayed how depression and anxiety feel. The Gratitoad was also so cute and fun! He was so funny, had a great personality, and inspired me to be more grateful out loud (lol weird but true).
3. MISSYYY! I loooooved her new look and her exploring her racial identity. I am a white girl so I can’t really relate but I loved seeing her process and gaining a new perspective. I wasn’t very excited about losing her voice actor because I thought she wouldn’t capture Missy as well, but she was SO GOOD! I loved this transition to a black voice actor because it makes sense and I think she’ll continue to be great and make Missy her own (sorry I don’t know any of the VA’s names lol)!
4. Matthew’s development! I kinda always disliked his meanness to Coach Steve, especially in the 9/11 episode. It was sad seeing Coach Steve be so childlike and not understanding what his birthday was, but ultimately Matthew changed his ways and fixed his damage. I hope to see more Nice Matthew in the future. I also love his relationship with Aiden! They are both all talk, but inexperienced, which is really cute and funny. Finally, he came out to his dad! I haven’t experienced anything like him, but it was so endearing to see his dad be so supportive! Adorable! Matthew has always been a favorite of mine!
5. The future episode! I loved all the stuff going on outside of Nick Starr, even though he was the main focus. I loved the world, how Jessi became a social hero, Andrew’s family, the subtle part that shows Seth and Natalie actually do stay together, and the status quo with the super rich and other classes (so interesting and kinda realistic!). The ending was strange with Nick being lost in space by himself, but of course it was just a dream, which makes sense.
6. PEN15 CROSSOVER! I laughed so hard at this. It makes total sense for them to work together. The girls OWNED that episode. Very cute!
7. Maury and Jesus. Idk I just thought this was hilarious!
8. Michael Angelo! Yes, he’s a d-bag, but also kinda hilarious. I thought he was awesome at first and awesome to HATE later haha (especially with vaping and pressuring Jessi). I actually thought the blue balls thing was kinda funny.
9. The songs!!! A lot of them had like actual points instead of just there for entertainment. They were well written and sounded great, some of them pretty catchy.
Okay my not so favorite parts:
1. The poop animations-ew! I lowkey liked the Poop Madness song but the animation for it was kinda gross. And when Andrew and Nick were acting like he was having a kid was uncomfortable.
2. Nick’s hormone monster. His puberty seems to not be progressing at all, which is kind of annoying. Will he ever get a real hormone monster?
3. Ali and Samira’s relationship was mentioned like once or twice. Just seemed kinda glossed over.
Overall, I really loved this season. I think the gross humor is heavily outweighed by the wholesome relationships, relatable plots, and character development! The songs were awesome!!! This is tied with S2 as my favorite!
I agree with all this, but there's a reason behind Nick’s slow progress into puberty. I believe that Nick is a late bloomer. He may have Connie, but he is going through it at a slower pace. It is also because Nick is supposed to be like his voice actor, Nick Kroll, who had said that he himself was a late bloomer in real life.
Man has a long time to wait but it came and it delivered although the ending is a bit more open-ended rather than the other three season endings
AGREE
Season 4 was much better than 3. First and second season was also better than third. Now series is uprising again
I didn’t like the second season idk why
Nah last season was better, at least Cheryl and Andrew hooked up in that season
that scene of Andrew giving birth to the shit baby was so terrifying
Jenny’s role should’ve gone to a biracial actor. Giving her a black actor literally doesn’t help the problem at all. As a half black/white person, we have a different life experience than anyone who’s mono-racial.
As a black/white person, I didnt care that she was voiced by a white person. It's ok to say "its not that big of a deal". It's just voice acting. It wasn't like she was trying to "talk black" while doing the voice. Jenny stepping down was due to everybody's over sensitivity to EVERYTHING.
I feel like you missed the point of nicks arc a bit, it was more about learning to love and accept who you are as a person and that you can grow to be someone better
Nick's whole story about anxiety was actually pretty relatable to me.
I think the game show host stuff is meant to be a generic metaphor about the feeling of inevitability when having a panic attack. Our thoughts become automatic, destructive, crippiling and there's this notion that we are destined to become this disgusting version of ourselves, without emotion, caring, or much genuine pleasure outside of some substance to be addicted to.
In 2020 i went through a lot of emotions like these after my grandfather died and i cheated on my girlfriend. I try to kms a couple of times, but eventually my psychologist taught me breathing exercises, the new friends i made playing among us talked to me a lot and i eventually learned to accept my monstruous side of me, acknowledging it and trying to control it, instead of killing.
I woud write more if my opinions mattered, but i loved your review and insights to things i had not noticed.
got a sub!
One thing I always love about Big Mouth is how each season I find myself relating to at the very least one character in a very personal way. Not too many shows can do that.
This season the characters i related to most were Missy and Nick.
Missy because much like her character this season, in my youth and teenage years, I've never really felt "Black". I'm not biracial but I was never into the things most black kids at my school or that were into. From music choices, clothing, what I liked, how I talked, or even saying the N word, Not that any of those things are what it means to be "Black". But as the quiet nerdy kid by myself, I felt left out. People even used to say I acted "White". It really confused me when I was young. I even had to Code Switch (much like DeVon's song) and changed the way I talked around other black people.

And I realized (just like missy) I can still be "black" and be myself, I don't have to give up parts of myself to experience new things or belong anywhere. I learned being black was being myself, so when I saw missy accept herself, I got emotional.
And Nick, as I got older there was a apart in my life (and still kinda now, but I'm working on it) where I felt dead inside. Where I was becoming more of an asshole and distancing myself from people, because of my own Anxiety and insecurities. I was trying to not be hurt by anything that it made me cold inside.

I really enjoyed this season, and what it conveyed about pressure and anxiety.
Edit: and although to a lesser extent, As someone who suffered from serious constipation and had bathroom anxiety, when I was a younger.
I can tell you his problems werenot entirely inaccurate, from stomach swelling, to your breath literally stinking, and when it finally happens (after a long time)it's basically like giving birth and as bad as Andrew displayed it.
Things i loved about S4:
Jessie and Natalie‘s friendship
Maury caring about Matthew and yelling at his mom for not supporting him
Matthews dad supporting him
I feel like you missed the deeper levels of Nicks arc. He is a privilege white male kid and because of his super supportive parents and society as a whole he became super selfish/self preserving and lacked real empathy for his friends and family, and that’s kinda always been a part of him. His battle with his older self was a battle about the kinda person he wants to be (his intentions) and it resonated with me. I can relate to his experience of having to take a hard look at yourself and understand that the path you’re on motivated by anxiety & shame (I really wish the shame wizard showed up for him as well) is not a good one and it takes work and help to change. I just hope that he continues to change because at the end of the season he was still rude to Andrew and Missy and I feel that his actions towards Jesse can’t really just be waived away by a simple I’m sorry.
My Favorite Season 4 Scene from Big Mouth has to be Matthew and Maury crying the pain away together, I know it’s a short tearjerker/heartwarming moment, but it reminds me of the ending scene from episode 9 of Season 1 where Andrew and Maury cried the pain away together because Missy dumped Andrew, and also, the scene with Matthew and Maury crying together and the other scene with Andrew and Maury crying together made me realize that Maury is not only the funniest Big Mouth character and The Best Hormone Monster in Big Mouth, Maury is The Most Humane, Relatable and Realest Character in Big Mouth because he has that “Best Father Figure” Side to him and he can understand anyone’s emotion, like if Andrew and Matthew are not OK and they feel they want to cry the pain away, Maury’s gonna understand how they feel and he wants to share his pain and tears with them
so there was a joke with connie saying something about the “self harm walrus” anyone think that’s a hint for the future?
Iirc walrus kill themselves if their fangs grow too big so there is some thought to it
i really hope that they will have the “self harm walrus” in the next season and that they should bring some awareness to it
@@1uvvjj I really hope they do tbh. I've always felt like they've just pushed Jessie's depression under the rug since they introduced the concept. I really hope we get some development of that in season 5.
At least close the casket, Andrew.
Totally got high and shed tears listening to what are you gonna do. Never thought that would happen to me
U deadass cried from big mouth? Lmao
Im sorry but the fear of ending up an asshole is kinda relatable, when you think lowly of yourself sometimes you fear for future you
My Dads friend Bob reedy says there are no such thing as spoilers, just unpleasant surprises
Shut up milk
This should have been top comment, with that said shut the fuck up milk
One of my favorite jokes of this season was the little nod to John Mulaneys Stand Up, with Andrew going "Someone's in here!" Like a carnival barker
I thought season 4 was the best season by far. The lola and jay couple was AMAZING and one of the best things to come from the team too😭 they were so cute! I hope they get back together
Same. This season would've been a complete 10 out of 10 if Cheryl and Andrew had hooked up again. I just hate that the opportunity was wasted this season
im making my kid watch this show. there’s a lot of gross out humor, but its also very educational at times. i learned a lot about consent, hormones and relationships, and it’s also waaaaaay more interesting than FLASH.
This season really helped with my anxiety. I never considered gratitude was somewhat of a cure for anxiety
I feel like if Natalie had been at Jessie’s new school it would have undercut her feeling isolated. I also feel like Jess didn’t really give her new school a chance and if she goes back next season when it’s HER choice I’ll be happy.
Why dose everyone think missy needed to be recast. I don’t need missy to be played by a black woman. First she’s mixed so you are kinda not taking into consideration her other half in the casting. And second many different races play different characters. Samurai jack is literally played by a black guy and he is awesome .
@Oliphant Kid it's because the twitter babies and sheeple make insecure people feel terrible about themselves and scared to death of saying anything offensive. As a white person, I can barely even call someone black as just a way to describe them without someone else bringing up something about racism. Cancel culture has gotten ridiculous.
Y'all know Jenny Slate stepped down right? Like no pressure to do so at all, she just reflected and made a decision.
@@AvgJane19 she reflected that a black person is the only right choice to play a bi-racial character? Sounds like lost chance to start a conversation.
I think the plot with Nick and Nick Star is about coming to terms with showing your emotions. Nick star was shown to be cold and uncaring. However, when Nick went into Nick Star, all you can see is a frail Nick, scared and alone. When Nick hugged the frail Nick, they became one, Nick coming to terms with his emotions.
That or I'm just looking at it in a different way.
I’m pretty bummed that Connie and Nick’s hormone relationship ended because he could really use some lady guidance like how his father did. Also super depressed that Jay and Lola broke up too, though part of me thinks that their future war with each other would be probably what brings them back together.
Season 4 shows they are really about to get into some deep shit in season 5 and they are easing ppl into it. You do realize the series has yet to get into actual oral, early pregnancy, the actual sex part, the std parts, like this show is about to open the fuck up and if the missy storyline didnt tell you that well. Season 5 n 6. It's about to get worse.....but for the best reasoning.
Sex is uncomfortable to talk about.
They understand. But in this day and age with everything going on and the way us 90s kids grew up unsure. Well shows lime this are wild to show ppl all ppl you are NOT alone. Everyone who watches this show has felt themselves in a certain situation at somepoint. The good and the bad.
They hit summer camp on the nose so hard. Like ppl think it's a place of magic. It low key is. But it's where alot of first tramaus and hidden secrets happen all the time.
I binged that shit yesterday and it was everything.
fr i loved it

Oh god dont stab me please active anime running powers run she has a knife!
@@besitos4ely i binged on release to, it was a great way to spend half my day
@@MTMNkosi I know right
I don't think the point of Nick Starr was specifically a commentary on narcissistic fame-obsessed people, just that everyone who relates to Nick has to deal with their ego and how it affects their sense of preservation and self-worth and that's just so happens to be how it manifests in him--probably because he's based off one of the show's creators who likely had that image associated with himself at one point what with him being a creator of a show and all
The much bigger point to take home here is to not fall victim to your own ego and self-hatred to the point where you throw away your better nature and shove everyone away just to make it stop hurting, and to reach out when you really need help before you internalize everything to the point of shattering yourself and other people. Which is a message that a lot of people relate to and need to learn from, myself included
It personally didn't matter for me that Nick's aspirations as a shithead gameshow host didn't resonate with me at all because I related strongly to just about everything else in his arc this season (internally and not externally for the most part however, so thank god for that). Because of that it was very helpful and relieving to see that I'm not alone in my head and that there's support for the idea that I don't have to become lost to the cloud of hatred and insecurity if I make a concerted effort to stand up to myself in a positive way. Which I mean actual therapy is way better for but I already had that one
In any case seeing Nick stand up to his asshole self was incredibly cathartic and I hope people don't miss the point of him embracing him as him embracing his assholery. Nick's assholery is fueled by insecurity and self-hatred so he has to be able to overcome those and recognize his faults at the same time, which means not beating yourself up 24/7
Big Mouth was not too far at all, it took on anxiety and depression, fingering is actually kind of common for younger children, but children usually try this in 9th grade instead of 8th. It's a good show and if you can't handle disgusting comedy then please do not watch it.
Unpopular opinion: I really didn’t like this season... kinda sad about it, but oh well.
4:03 I never actually heard the difference with the va change until this scene in the final episode
missy’s voice doesn’t change from jenny slate to ayo until after missy discovers who she is with the mirror scene
Same
I really like the season and enjoyed Missy’s storyline, especially when she was visiting her cousins in Atlanta. I feel really conflicted on her voice actor changing, I love Jenny‘s portrayal of Missy, her voice was absolutely perfect for what the character needed and it’s such a particular voice. I just wish the new actress tried to at least replicate it, it’s just hard when we’ve had 38 episodes of this character having this particular voice and then it changes for the last two episodes, it was kind of upsetting and really took me out of the show.
My birthday is also on 9-11 so me and couch are twins 😭
Season 1-3: 10 out of 10.
Season 4: 9 out of 10.
They could have explored so many moments in this season but still delivered at the same time.
Would've been 10 out of 10 if Cheryl and Andrew had hooked up again. I hate that they brought her back for nothing this season
@@Kala-Zar Stop being such a fucking weirdo and commenting this all over the place.
I was high as a kite watching this season and I lost it at poop madness. I had greened out a lil bit from laughing so hard.
I think Big Mouth is one of those shows that you really have to get used to to realize that its not too much. There's a lot of things in the show that are important. A scene I think about a lot was Nick seeing himself, the part of himself he hid away, in Nick Star. It shows what a lot of people go through.
My regret was that unlike other seasons, I binged it too much. Usually I would take a little while so that I could think and take notes about what I saw. I know it's stupid, but it's soooo relatable to what I was going through only a few years ago/am still *kinda* going through now (I'm 19). I felt SO isolatedthroughout puberty, this show basically says: it's okay, we understand and get you.
@@henriquedaumas9934 same I binged it kinda wish I didn't tho
Elliott, we've landed in Tijuana. Over and out.
I agree. The first three seasons were great but this one feels like it's leaning too heavily into shock value with no substance. The wacky parts of the story were always metaphors that were going on in the kids heads that represented something in real life but now they're starting to mix the reality and fantasy and it doesn't make sense anymore
I love how Missy gotten into more black culture I can relate to her since I hang out with my cousin and big sister a lot and I always get called that I’m not “black” enough or I don’t “act” black but anyways I think she looks so cute in braids and I felt bad for Matthew once he came out to his mom and she didn’t really accept him at all and i can relate to him as well once I came out as Bi to my mom my Junior year
nicks fear was about becoming emotionally detached to the point of isolating everyone he cared about and being unable to show genuine emotion for anyone because he’s so afraid of humiliation. I hate to be harsh but its like you didn’t understand the nuances of the whole thing. The game show host is a funny way to present what happens if nick becomes emotionally isolated and the inhumane actions of the show further the point that he’s got no basic human decency left. It wasn’t really meant to be funny it was meant to be disturbing. That whole episode was kind of meant to be disturbing
True dat. Nick's arc really impressed me tbh, like I didn't think I'd be that impressed with his arc, and I've never really cares that much about Nick, but I grew to have a lot more appreciation for his character through this season.
Cap the switch in character voice was dumb very disappointed gonna miss slate but hope the new voice actor does a good job
They are changing the character voice? Thought they made a good point of why they wouldn't do that.
Season 2 & 4 tie for the best season for me as of yet
In 10:17 was that joke intensional
Honestly I sympathize with Lola and think that Jay acted like a total jerk about it. Lola had every right to go off at him when she opened up about something very personal and relatable. I think Lola is easily the most relatable character for me, constantly being left by other people, feeling alone and overall insecure. But hopefully someone like Jessie will show Jay what he did was wrong and apologize to Lola. They won't get back together right away but will have a close bond until Lola is ready. Hopefully in the next season, Lola will work through her abandonment issues and be happy on her own but also finding supportive and non-toxic friends unlike Devin. Speaking of Devin, I'm really glad Devon divorced her. I don't like the fact they hinted a relationship between Devon and Missy though but I'd love to see them become best friends and work through their racial identity together. I'd also love to see more of Missy's cousins.
I'd really like to see an episode or at least a side plot, of Matthew babysitting his younger siblings with Aiden. I think it would be super funny.
Ahh we have returned for more puberty the show
Man.... I love the gratitoad....
Also I think season 4 was amazing from an character arc percpetive which was meaningful
I also love how the series actually address importent things and even countervarsual realistic topics make it funny and stupid and still educational
They have added a diverse crew of characters but made it really natural with realistic teenagers character arcs.
I actually felt relatable to Jessie, Misty and Nick's character arcs
I LOVE THIS SEASON SO FAR
Although I do agree it was kind of a rehash I appreciated Jessie’s camp period subplot. For me learning to manage my period at home was completely different than learning how to in a new environment. I floundered a lot, even more than when I first got it. Although it wasn’t needed, I loved watching more relatable embarrassing nostalgia.
okay don’t get me wrong, some jokes in this season were crossing the line. like how they did the 9/11 episode they didn’t really give like an ending talking about the victims and how many people were lost. but i feel like everyone forgets that this is an adult swim show. this show is for adults so i think that some jokes are gonna be offensive. but by far in my opinion this was the best season of big mouth with the dialogue between all the characters, the romance with jay and lola, the fights and the makeups with andrew and nick, the songs, the missy scenes. this season was absolutely DEVINE. but of course that is just my opinion and i’d be honored to respond to anyone else’s 😀
*edit*
this season also ended on a more chill note with rick singing. but i do hope to see more of him, mona, the therapist, jessie’s school, and gina in this season too.
*second edit lol*
i also agree with you with the connie stopping being nick hormone monster. nick and jessie have fought before when in season 3 they were in a quarrel about the girls being sexualized and connie was still there and present in both of their lives on both of their sides for the little time they were arguing. it seems so stupid because maury is andrew’s and matthew’s hormone monster and even though he likes matthew better than andrew LOL he still finds time for both of them.
I disagree about Jessie's period story during camp. A lot of the experiences of the boys were so outrageous, I feel that not treating Jessie's experience the same way wouldn't be doing her justice. Getting your period and managing it through different situations in life is such a big thing. Her just getting it on a field trip doesn't do this monumental life changing moment in a girls life enough justice. I feel that episode was perfect in its own Big Mouth way in explaining what this shit is like.
I think the reason why they focus more on Jesse's period drama is that she was not prepared for it by her mom. It seems like her mom tried to force on her to be a strong and independent woman but never really focused on her needs biologically as a woman. She doesn't really seem to be engaging in conversations about sex or love or dating with her. Whereas Missy I feel like her mom would have covered periods with her . Lola and Devin are not really the central characters that we focus on so we don't know what goes on with them in the background.
I want the next season out so I can see what's up w the therapist liiiike is she gonna end up w jessie's mom o.o or what like what's gonna happen. Is jay gonna realize that lola was telling the truth and he was an a hole or wah????
I felt like Nicks whole Future Self arc was like... Some sort of venting for Nick Kroll lmao, since he's a self insert more than any other character. It felt weird to watch imo
I loved the introduction if tito this season, I related to lot of what they were going through when it came to anxiety and missy discovering her identity was really great too I hope we get to see her cousins again next season.
Imagine feeling squeamish over a show that from the offset has advertised how it isn’t going to be like other shows. Big mouth isn’t aimed at that age group, it’s aimed at adults who have been through these experiences and can laugh looking back on them
I related to nick this season sooo hard, I’m finally getting self confidence and sometimes it leads me to be an asshole like I’ll think I’m super cool and attractive and that I’m better than others and I don’t want that I’m still trying to find a balance between confidence and arrogance and I’m scared I’ll never find it
I actually liked this season the least. I finished it feeling like both too much not much happened at the same time.
I did like how Nick is being confronted with how much of an asshole he really is
Season four caused me to self reflect *alot* it’s one of the fist adult animated shows that have actually made me tear up. Obviously it’s not fine art, but this season has impacted me in a way I could have never expected.
10:17 bruh I’m dead the 9/11 “didn’t land well”😂😂
The gratatoad was the best part of the season, he was a very charming toad :))
