Another season of Big Mouth has debuted on Netflix, and the latest installment of the popular animated comedy series is as socially relevant and delightfully vulgar as ever. The show continues to address the unspoken realities of puberty with a diverse ensemble of characters and an unabashed narrative. Big Mouth does not shy away from all-out gross moments in its depiction of adolescence. The show uses the worst parts of puberty and the best, as well as offering a fresh perspective that produces a modern and, at times, touching coming-of-age tale.

Big Mouth remains one of Netflix's most popular adult animated streaming series and isn't going away anytime soon. The show wrapped up its sixth season in October 2022 and was already ordered for a seventh season that should hit sometime in 2023. There has also been a spin-off series based solely on the Hormone Monsters called Human Resources that premiered in 2022. It also should get another season in 2023. With so much interest in the world Nick Kroll and Andrew Goldberg created based on their own childhood memories, fans need to remember that this is an adult comedy series and there are plenty of moments that are very gross, while also providing some touching scenes as well along the way.

The Grossest Moments In Big Mouth

Coach Steve And Jay's Mom

The Bilzerian family has a severe lack of boundaries, something they have in common with the wacky and inept character that is Coach Steve. During the first season, Jay befriends the school's gym teacher before setting his new best friend up with his married mother.

This leads to a hilariously uncomfortable sex scene between the child-like Coach Steve and Jay's vacant-eyed mom. It's a belated rite of passage for Coach Steve, who finally bids goodbye to his Hormone Monster afterward. However, this scene remains wrong in many ways since Steve is a child-like man, and when he referred to it as making "thick in the warm," it was just over that line.

Jay's Relationship With His Pillow

Jay's character has the stereotypical libido of an adolescent and a limitless imagination. This combination spawned one of Big Mouth's hilariously grossest storylines as the young magician pursues a sexual and romantic relationship with his pillow Pam.

The odd couple is a parody of an adult relationship that culminates with Pam the Pillow 'giving birth' to their offspring. Jay's relationship with his pillows in Big Mouth continues in season two, where it is used as a plot device to explore his struggles with his newfound bisexuality. The entire relationship is gross, but it is also a way to show Jay's stunted emotional growth and lack of adult mentorship at home.

Jay's Sleepover

Jay's sleepover in "Sleepover: A Harrowing Ordeal Of Emotional Brutality" evidences more of the Bilzerian family's gross dysfunction. During one stomach-turning sequence, Jay's brothers try and force Nick and Andrew to eat semen-covered crackers following a disgusting explanation from Jay about his peculiar pillow habits.

It is hard to watch this episode and not feel both sick, and sorry for Jay. The episode excels with its combination of gross humor and reflection on life's sometimes dismal conditions. While it is a good look at the bullying from older kids to younger ones, it also once again shows why Jay has no social skills.

Andrew's Sock Pile

Jay and Andrew often compete for the position of the grossest character on Big Mouth. After Andrew breaks up with Missy, the sex-crazed teenager discovers Internet pornography and falls into the trap of addiction - with a revolting pile of socks growing in his bedroom as evidence.

It is another example of the gross reality of adolescence and the complication of emotions, something Big Mouth is not afraid to portray.

Andrew's Photoshoot

Season three continued Big Mouth's trademark depiction of puberty in all of its honesty. After traveling to Florida to meet members of his extended family, Andrew engages in a sexual relationship with his cousin, sending her explicit photos after a comical photoshoot from the waist down with the help of the Hormone Monster, Maurice.

This is Big Mouth at its most outrageous, with its usual dose of mature yet immature humor. A similar storyline involving a relationship between Nick and his phone is also featured in the season, though with slightly less explicit content.

Andrew Gave Birth To Turds

Andrew's poo killed Maury on Big Mouth

Often, nothing makes sense on Big Mouth. In season 4, Andrew and Nick were at camp. However, this was not something Andrew wanted since he refused to use the bathroom in the cabins. As a result, he held his poo in for almost an entire week. Finally, he couldn't hold it anymore and went into the woods to finally let it out there.

What no one could have seen coming was the poo actually being alive and angry. When Maurice tried to help get it out, the poo launched a knife into his throat, killing the Hormone Monster. The entire sequence, from the feces sticking its head out of Andrew's rear in anger to the death of Maurice to Andrew's intense pain was something that was almost too nauseating to watch.

Jay & Lola's Pool Party

Jay has the worst life. From his parents, who don't really care what he does, to his brothers tormenting him, his life is one giant mess. When he started dating Lola, it seemed wrong, but it gave the two of them something to give them joy for a short time. It also created some really gross moments.

One of these was their pool party. First, the pool was nothing but dirty, filthy water that likely was full of disease. When they wanted to have a pool party, somehow imagining it as a beautiful pool, everyone else saw them in the brown water. When Jay started sucking on Lola's toes, "squishing dirty little nuggies in some fresh mud," it grossed everyone out, even the viewers. Seeing Jay's life made viewers both feel bad for him and feel revolted at the same time.

The Most Touching Moments In Big Mouth

Missy Discovers Herself

Missy discovers herself on Big Mouth

There were a lot of behind-the-scenes problems with Missy on Big Mouth. First of all, a white actress voiced her in the start in Jenny Slate. However, she left the role to allow a Black actress to voice Missy in Ayo Edebiri, and then the show have Missy a very touching storyline.

Missy was raised by parents who didn't really understand their own culture, and when she reached out to her extended family, she finally started trying to find herself. This led to Missy finally coming to terms with who she was and discovering her heritage. The show even brought back Jenny Slate and had her and Edebiri merge - her "white and nerdy" personality combined with her "black and sexy" persona to finally allow her to become who she was meant to be.

Matthew And Aiden's First Kiss

Matthew had a much more prominent role in the third season of Big Mouth. This was a good decision on behalf of the show's writers as they have broadened the scope in terms of representation and opened up more doorways to opportunities with potential storylines.

Matthew's relationship with Aiden is one of the most touching plot points from Big Mouth's third season. Their first kiss is a particularly heartwarming scene that is fully endorsed by Maurice.

Matthew Comes Out To His Dad

Matthew Comes Out As Gay To His Dad on Big Mouth

With all the raunchy humor and disgusting jokes, sometimes Big Mouth just hits fans with something heartfelt. That happened in season 4 when Matthew came out as gay to his dad. The moment happened while driving in the car and Matthew finally told his dad and broke down in tears about it.

However, when he started crying and said he thought his dad would send him to a conversion camp or pretend he was dead, his dad stopped the car and let his son he already knew. While they used humor ("I drove you to tap classes") and his dad compared it with Fuller House, it was still a great moment where Matthew received the confirmation he needed that his dad loved and didn't care if he was gay or straight.

Jessi Tells Her Mom She Deserves Better

Jessi's (Jessi Klein) relationship with her mother Shannon (Jessica Chaffin) has been tumultuous since the teenager discovered her mother was having an affair with another woman. Like the majority of teenagers, Jessi rebelled against her mom after her parents' divorce, undergoing pivotal changes in character reflecting the personal turmoil of puberty.

After Cantor Dina (Michaela Watkins) leaves Shannon in season three, Jessie comes full circle as she realizes her mother is as human and flawed as she is. She gives her mother an abstract blessing, telling her emphatically that she deserves better.

Andrew's Parents Reconnect

Andrew and his dad Marty Glouberman in Big Mouth

Andrew's parents were presented as a caricature of traditional parents in a nuclear family in earlier seasons. Andrew's mother Barbara (Paula Pell) is particularly presented as a dissatisfied housewife who gets swept away with the Rock Of Gibraltar craze in season one's "Girls Are Horny Too," but the couple reconnects in season three and share a touching scene that highlights the love the two still have for each other.

Season three of Big Mouth continues to expand the show's narrative with its depiction of Barbara's struggle with menopause. It is evidence of the show's unflinching portrayal of all of life's realities.

Nick Rescues Andrew's Pillow

Andrew and Nick on Big Mouth

The third season of Big Mouth ended on a sour note for former best friends Nick and Andrew, who parted ways after Andrew explicitly told Nick that he didn't think he was a good person. It is a predictable but saddening split for the two characters, who have had an increasingly turbulent relationship throughout their pubescent mishaps.

This makes Nick's determination to rescue Andrew's beloved safety pillow in season one's sleepover episode all the more touching. Whilst it is completely absurd, it also highlights how good of a friend Nick can be.

Andrew's Realization

The characters of Big Mouth go on vibrant and bizarre adventures as they navigate the awkward phase between childhood and adulthood, learning from their many mistakes. During season two, Andrew has a sexual interaction with his girlfriend Lola before dumping her, which enrages and devastates Lola.

Fed up with feeling guilty, Andrew embraces being a "pimp" after his actions are praised by Jay's father. The episode is a clever exploration of masculinity that culminates with Andrew realizing that he doesn't want to be like Jay's father after all.
