The Legacy of “Big Mouth”
As Big Mouth takes its final bow, it’s hard not to reflect on the impact it’s had on the animation industry. Since its debut on Netflix in 2017, the show has racked up an impressive 375 million views, 71 episodes, and nearly 2,000 minutes of runtime. But more than that, it’s earned Netflix its first Emmy nomination for Outstanding Animated Program, and saw Maya Rudolph snag four Emmy wins for Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance for her portrayal of Connie the Hormone Monstress.
What’s truly remarkable about Big Mouth is its fearless approach to tackling complex topics like identity, consent, and mental health. The show has released an astonishing 74 original songs in the last eight years, often using music to address these daunting subjects. From “Totally Gay” to “Life Is a F*ed Up Mess”, “Code Switching”, “Anything Goes in Florida”, “I Love My Body”, “Best Friends Make the Best Lovers”, and “Esperando Pelitos”, the show’s creators have consistently pushed the boundaries of what’s considered acceptable in adult animation.
The Power of Music in “Big Mouth”
Music has been an integral part of Big Mouth‘s DNA from the very beginning. With 74 original songs released over the years, the show has used music as a powerful tool to tackle complex, often uncomfortable, topics. From the hilarious “Totally Gay” to the poignant “Life Is a F*ed Up Mess”, music has been used to convey the emotional depth and complexity of the characters.
One of the most impressive aspects of Big Mouth‘s music is its ability to tackle tough subjects like identity, consent, and mental health. Songs like “Code Switching” and “Anything Goes in Florida” have become anthems for many viewers, providing a platform for self-expression and acceptance. The show’s creators have consistently demonstrated their commitment to showcasing the full range of human emotions, often using music to convey the complexity and nuance of these feelings.
The Farewell Tour and What’s Next
Before Big Mouth‘s final bow on May 23, Nick Kroll and the whole gang on the road across America to show off fresh episodes, drop exclusive merch, and make stops in places with thematically appropriate monikers — like Cooter, Missouri, and Utah’s The Phallus. Fans eager for a glimpse of the final episodes can get tickets to the screenings here.
As the Brutus Pink gang so aptly put it, “There is no better way to celebrate a global phenomenon like Big Mouth than driving a yellow van from Dallas to Tampa to Chicago and all points West.” But more than just a farewell tour, this is an opportunity for fans to get a special first peek at the final season of Big Mouth before it’s unleashed on the rest of the globe.
