Big Mouth Season 4: Funny... But Too Far This Time? - Review | Nerdflix + Chill 

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 loved the gratitoad. It would have been so easy to make him annoying, but thankfully he was really charming & helpful

I legit thought Michael Angelo was 19 and in college... they’re artistic guys like this around my city

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

1:39 please tell me I'm not the only one who noticed Milk Naruto running

Saying big mouth is too far is like saying South Park is too far It’s never too far

I finished it in a day and it was pretty good.

Okay but Maurry raging at Matthew's mother was everything, I just wish she could hear it

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

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.

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

“BE GAY TOTALLY GAY” LMAO THAT SECNE A THROWBACK TO SEASON 1 LMAO 😂

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.

Big mouth high school is going to be even crazier.

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

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?

I'm glad they didn't change Missy's voice without explanation, they actually fit it into her discovering herself.

"but that unfortunately means less time of couch Steve" Steve: "HEY I LOVE YOU TOO, who said that?"

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

"It felt like a really long 28 minute 9/11 joke that didnt really land" Neither did the planes.... I'll see myself out

i thought some things were messed up but the message at the end of the day is accept yourself and be happy

Yeah all the poop stuff was a bit much for me xD

Omg they BETTER have Natalie in the next season or I’d riot 😡

Bro, Big Mouth was actually tamer (in a good way) while discussing relevant. The only thing that made me uncomfortable was the sorority name.

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.

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

I really dont understand why anybody cares who's voicing a cartoon character of a specific race.

Missy's voice change was a missed opportunity for some self aware humor that I LOVE the show for.

My favorite character is connie and i love how they gave her a lot more screen time then they did the other seasons

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

Any else wanna wanna give up pooping to see the acid trip Andrew had.

that scene of Andrew giving birth to the shit baby was so terrifying

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!

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

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.

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

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

Is it just me or is does this season feel a little short?

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.

Season 4 was much better than 3. First and second season was also better than third. Now series is uprising again

Totally got high and shed tears listening to what are you gonna do. Never thought that would happen to me

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

so there was a joke with connie saying something about the “self harm walrus” anyone think that’s a hint for the future?

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.

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 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.

At least close the casket, Andrew.

In 10:17 was that joke intensional

That moment with Matthew’s dad made the whole season worth it!!! Even if there were parts I didn’t like, like the non-sexual gross-out humor you talked about in this video.

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.

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 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.

When it first came out it was so easy to dismiss it but it’s starting to discuss so many important issues! It’s grown so much as a show.

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.

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.

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 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.

Elliott, we've landed in Tijuana. Over and out.

The gratatoad was the best part of the season, he was a very charming toad :))

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 love how they wrote that Matthew’s dad was the supportive one because I relate to the scene so much, cause my mom is still not accepting to my gender and sexuality while my father was full ok with it ❤🥰

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

I was happy when Devon got some time to shine his character is awesome

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.

As a woman of color, missy’s story in this season was really interesting to me because I went through and am still kind of going through that phase of trynna figure out who I am. To me, the coming of age phase is different for people of color because a lot of the time we are all grouped into this box of stereotypes and if we don’t fix in that box, it can be very confusing trynna figure out who we are. I also really liked the whole thing with Tito and depression kitty, in a weird way depression can be nurturing and warm like when the cat was lurking Jesse back to bed and with anxiety it’s like this annoying bug that you can’t seem to get rid of. I can’t believe I’m saying this but this season of big mouth was really good

I binged that shit yesterday and it was everything.

I LOVE THIS SEASON SO FAR

The new voice actress for Missy struggled with mimicking how Missy was voiced by the previous actress. It's noticble in S5 but when she keeps with the "lower tone" (when Missy doesn't have that whistle sound to her voice) she is able to blend how Missy was voiced before, and help mature the voice as Missy is getting older (while voice breaks are traditionally a part of male puberty, the transition can also be seen with girls) and her voice is maturing.

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

My birthday is also on 9-11 so me and couch are twins 😭

Ahh we have returned for more puberty the show

You beat around the bush for over two minutes during the spoiler free review. I timed it.

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

Great review, I couldn't agree more. I believe that Natalie's story was great and relatable. I hope we can see more of the shame wizard as well!

The poop episodes especially episode 3 was HILARIOUS!

Season 2 & 4 tie for the best season for me as of yet

Strange enough my highschool had no one talk about blue balls. We were more known about death, even our teen pregnancies were less than 10 for four years

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.

Jenny Slate is Jewish. Missy is half Jewish and half black so unless you can find a female version of drake then their was no reason for Jenny to resign

Mathew coming out to his dad actually made me cry. Their gross out humor was so over the top that it became numbing and not funny anymore but the themes were the best yet.

I likes Missy's new VA it feels like she got hit hard with a deeper voice as most girls do have their voices change as they get older and Missy's high pitched voice is something I think would show she is growing up into a woman.

The right balance of coach Steve is tough. This season felt like not enough last season maybe a little too much.

Thing is about the poop jokes I used to hate toilet humour but my partner has crohns disease, a really debilitating and embarrassing condition that depleted his vitimns so much that he couldn't walk for a while. So now, instead of it just being gross, its a funny relief to be able to joke about something that has changed his life so much. Shitting in front of your friends? Sure might be unbelievable to most people. But sometimes you gotta learn how to deal with life's most embarrassing moments. Nothing quite as bad as what happened in big mouth but comedy is supposed to be hyperbolic.

Wish they gave Missy more screen time

I wasn’t sure at first but I am here solely for Lola Ugfuglio Skumpy

I have a gross sense of humor too, but I have to agree that some scenes crossed the line. In the end the lesson about gratitude was beautiful and meaningful. 🐸

As far as the season goes, I think they made a misstep by splitting it between camp and school. It would have been a lot more fun to further explore camp/home for summer/visiting relatives stuff. They could have gone into so much more. They could have still incorporated certain things... hell, they could have had the two 7th graders just been younger campers, and Jesse's bf could have been a CIT, which adds another level of wrong... as anyone who has been to a sleep away camp knows, everybody has their first sexual experience there.

Jenny slates step down seems so absolutely unnecessary

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

The dog is one of the best characters.

Coach Steve is one of my favorite Big Mouth characters and I felt like Natalie would become a new main cast member.

I went to sleepaway camp every summer from age 10-15, and we never had group showers. Our cabins had either one shower, or 4 (each housed in a separate bathroom).
