For the Haters



This blog is to anyone who does not think that Big Mouth is not the best Netflix Original. It is one of best representation of life in the form of a cartoon ever. There are so many ways to relate to the show and relate it to your life. The everydays struggles that all of the characters go through are things that everyone go through. Weather it be finding yourself sexually, boys trying to figure out how girls think, (and failing) or dealing with a difficult family situation. The show sometimes touches of some situations purely for comedy, but still somehow makes it relatable. The constant is the challenge of puberty. Obviously, puberty is a challenge for everyone, and we all can see the struggles of the characters and see that everyone is different in their struggles.

With all of the relatability it makes the comedy that much better. I personally was able to say that I have done some of the same things that the characters do in the show and it honestly makes it so much better. The acting in the show is as a big part of its success. Nick Kroll voices himself in the show and makes it even better because you can hear how sincere and honest he is about his feelings on the situation back when they actually occurred. Big Mouth also is funny at all of the right times and never takes itself to serious. It tends to go in the more modest direction, makes light of a real problem or situation, and then makes fun at itself for even bringing it up in the first place.



The real gem of Big Mouth though is the relationship to past experiences of the creators. Each of them give their own life experiences and give their emotions about it in the form of the Hormone Monster. The male and female version of them are in tune with each other but not always the kids that they are trying to help get through life. At some times their input is welcomed and helpful but most of the other times it is outrageous and uncalled for, but they are very easy to distinguish.
