Big Mouth

I feel like the creators of Big Mouth dove right into my brain and heart to make this show. It is so incredibly gross in the most real way, and it totally stole my heart. I swear this is the best animated show ever made. It isn't lame, generally offensive comedy like shows like Family Guy. It's real comedy about our bodies and brains as teens that is so blunt and honest, and gross because that's how life is! I hope this show never ever ends. Also, I need to know who the ponytail killers is.

This cartoon is seriously going to split opinion. Some will call it filth and try to convince you not to watch it. Those like myself will see it for what it is, an enormously funny cartoon specifically made for us adults. "Big Mouth" has a simple premise of a group of preteens entering that crazy time called puberty. It reminds us of our own escapades at that age and throws in some of the best and crazy adult comedy you've ever seen. Watch it!

The first five minutes made me open my eyes in disbelief. I'm so happy I finally found a show that was brutally honest and funny to the bone(r). The first episode doesn't give up. There is just one ridiculously true situation of satire after an another. I really enjoy this show for its "in your face" honesty and brilliant conception. Finally, we have a show without barriers that is true to the core of one's inner fluidity.

The show itself is crude, with a lot of sexual content regarding pubescent teenagers and their struggle with hormonal changes in relationship with the environment. I personally loved the pop-culture references and the humour, that although irreverent, reminds us the time when we thought and acted the same, even when ashamed of it, even when we knew it wasn't right, just because we felt like we HAD to do it,thanks to hormonal changes. The last concept is well impersonated by the hormone monster, a creature who keeps whispering to boys and girls how to feel and behave. Even when they don't want to, they just do what the hormone monster tells them to. Everything they see is catalyzed through their adolescent experience and impulses. I loved also how sex, and everything around it was reduced to something completely normal, along with fear, shame and envy. Because in the end, we all have been in those moments and thought like the protagonists do.

Writing a review based upon your own preferences of comedy isn't really being true or fair to a show. So unlike what other people have posted, I'll give it to you straight, this show is not for everyone. But, provided you have an open mind to comedy and are not easily offended it does offer a few laughs and a good little show to pass the time.
