7 Reasons You Should Be Watching "Big Mouth"

For those of you who are unaware, Netflix recently dropped a new original series called "Big Mouth." Written by Nick Kroll and featuring comics like John Mulaney, Jordan Peele, and Fred Armisen, the show gives us all a trip down memory lane to the wonderful time known as puberty. This animated show honestly illustrates all the joys of growing up, but in a humorous way. Still not sold? Here are 7 reasons you should be watching "Big Mouth."

1. It is incredibly honest

A big premise of the show is that the characters have "hormone monsters" who follow them around and cause them to do things like scream at their parents, not feel beautiful, or just other stupid teenage things. I can't speak for everyone, but I know when I was that age, I definitely felt like I had a hormone monster following me around.

2. It features funny songs

Step aside "Bob's Burgers." Each episode has a song that deals with some theme discussed in the episode. In episode three, "Am I Gay?", the ghost of Freddie Mercury comes back and sings a song all about how it's okay to be gay and have those feelings.

3. It focuses on both boys and girls

Some episodes are dedicated to the boy's issues. Some episodes are dedicated to the girl's issues. Either way, this show covers puberty from both sides of the coin.

4. It is very sex-positive

In episode five, "Girls Are Horny Too", the episode is all about the fact the girls are discovering their budding sexuality as well. So many discussions only focus on the male side of the spectrum, so it's nice to see that girls' sexuality is discussed as well.

5. It focuses on bigger issues as well

Underage drinking and rape culture? Episode eight. Family problems? Episode nine. Teen pregnancy? Episode six. Not only do these episodes dive deep into big issues, the other episodes tackle issues such as racism and other cultural issues on a smaller scale.

6. It breaks the fourth wall without being cheesy

During the show, there are so many moments where the characters both acknowledge that they are in a TV show as well as on Netflix. However, when this happens, it isn't your typical cheesy fourth wall breaks.

7. It's easily binge-able

Ten 30-minute episodes means a funny and relatable Saturday evening for you.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
