The Reason You Suck Speech / Big Mouth

Go To

Season 2 of Big Mouth is chock full of these, especially towards the finale.


  • Half of the ones are short yet potent speeches by the Shame Wizard, who whispers all their cruel, horny, sexist, hypocritical actions and desires into the ears of the characters to make them feel ashamed of themselves, feeding off their regret and self-loathing.
  • It all comes to a head in two part season finale. Nick and Gina have a sexual moment, where she lets him touch her naked boob. Nick tells all his friends, and Jessie accidentally lets it slip at the school sleepover to Devin, who spreads it to everyone else. Within an hour, everyone is calling Gina a slut, reducing her to tears and leading her to deliver a scathing one to Nick.
    Nick: I’m sorry they’re all being such dicks.
    Gina: Them?! What about you?!
    Nick: Huh? What do you mean?
    Gina: What do I mean?! You told everyone! That was our private moment!
    Nick: I was excited about it! Everyone’s happy for us!
    Gina: No, everyone’s happy for you, because you’re a guy, you’re like, Mister Big Shot! But what about me?! What am I to everyone?! A slut!
    Nick: Who cares what they think? I mean, yes, maybe everyone’s calling me Mister Big Shot, but hey, I’m still just Nick.
    Gina: Wow! You are unbelievable!
    Nick: In a good way, or...?
    Gina: NO! NOT IN A GOOD WAY!
  • Nick thinks Jay is the one who spilled the beans, but a guilt-ridden Jessie confesses it was her. They give each other a short but scathing one.
    Nick: What?! So this is all your fault?
    Jessie: Dude! You’re the one who told us about your stupid tit-grab I begin with!
    Nick: Because you’re my friends!
    Jessie: Please! You just wanted to brag and feel like a big dick boy!
    Nick: Well, you only gossiped because you’re jealous of Gina!
    Jessie: Jesus! You know? Fuck this!
  • In the next episode, Nick attempts to kiss and make up with Gina, but she rejects his apology and advances.
    Gina: No! We’re not good!
    Nick: But I just apologized. Isn’t that what you wanted?
    Gina: No, I wanted you to not tell your friends that you squeezed my boob in the first place!
    Nick: Unfortunately, Gina, I think that ship has already sailed. But we had a fight, and I screwed up. And I said I was sorry, so, now we’re making up, and maybe it’s time for a little make-up make-out.
    Gina: You know what you are? You’re a little fucking prick.
    Nick: You’re a little big-boobed bitch.
    Gina: Get the fuck away from me!
    Nick: Wait! I thought we were flirting!
    Gina: No! Ugh! I can’t believe I made out with you in the first place, but you know what? That’s never gonna happen again!
  • Andrew reveals during a “Truth or Dare” like game that he masturbated to Nick’s sister swimsuit during a visit, and the sister caught him in the act. Nick is disgusted by this.
    Nick: You...You jerked off to my sister?
    Andrew: Well, to her bathing suit. But yes, I guess it was...she had...been in it, so I was imagining her.
    Nick: What the hell, Andrew?
    Andrew: Nick, there’s a way you can look at it, like a compliment.
    Nick: What’s the compliment?
    Andrew: You two have have the same bone structure, so-
    Nick: So it’s like you’re jerking off to me? (...) Have you masturbated in my house before?
    Andrew: No! Not-never! While you’re in the room. Unless you’re sleeping.
    (...)
    Andrew: I wasn’t thinking about you, you jerk! I was looking at your cat clock!
    Nick: My cat clock?! My grandmother gave that clock!
    Andrew: (In a horny tone of voice) I know, that’s-
    Nick: Oh, so that also turns you on?!
    Andrew: You’re looking at this in a realistic way. My thinking was pretty abstract.
    Nick: You’re like a compulsive masturbator.
    Andrew: Oh yeah? Well, Nick, you’re just jealous because you couldn’t jerk off if I payed you to!
    (The boys go on while their Hormone Monsters fight in the background)
    Nick: You’re a gigantic jizz creep!
    Andrew: Well, you’re a dick-less little dwarf!
    Missy: Guys, stop it!
    Nick: I hate you!
    Andrew: Well, that’s convenient, because I hate you, too!
  • Maury, Andrew’s Hormone Monster, gives a short one to Tyler, Nick’s (current) Hormone Monster, to which Tyler gives back a pathetic reply.
    Maury: What kind of Hormone Monster are you, man? Making a kid feel back for jacking off? That’s against the Jizz-ogratic Oath! Which you signed in blood...y semen.
    Tyler: I remember! It looked like a cream cheese and jelly sandwich! And I ate the whole thing! Yum yum yummy!
  • Nick later finds out that Tyler has been working with the Shame Wizard to make Nick do bad things to make him feel bad so SW could feed off his shame.
    Nick: Have you been working for the Shame Wizard?
    Tyler: I’m in cahoots! Didn’t you want me to be in cahoots?
    Nick: No! No cahoots! The Shame Wizard sucks! He makes you feel shitty!
    Tyler: You have to feel shitty, or else you’ll do things you’ll regret!
    Nick: The only thing I regret is being mean to my best friend!
    Tyler: What about messing things up with Gina?
    Nick: Yeah! And that’s your fault, too!
    Tyler:’ Oh! And what about when I made you call your dad a pussy!
    Nick: Yeah! All those things! You’re a shitty Hormone Monster!
  • Jessie tries to apologize to Gina for telling about her letting Nick touch her breast, but Gina and Lola, who has made friends with her, aren’t having it.
    Gina: Wow...you and Nick are a real pair.
    Jessie: What do you mean?
    Gina: Your whole friend group! You can’t just do something awful and then say you’re sorry and then just...expect make-up make-outs!
    Lola: If Gina’s going to make out with anybody, it’s going to be me! So say goodbye to these (gestures to Gina), and while you’re at it, say goodbye to these! (Points to her own breasts) They’re real, and they’re basically two different colors!
    Gina: What?
    Lola: I sleep on my side in the tanning bed!
    [...]
    Jessie: Okay, let’s calm down. I’m just trying to keep sisterhood alive, you guys.
    Gina: Sisterhood? Are you kidding me?
    Lola: Yeah, you’re basically Bill Cosby. You tell all of us young black men to pull up our pants, and then you like, rape everybody!
    Gina: No, that’s, wait...
    Lola: You like, snooze everyone down, and then you like, go to town!
    Gina: I think what Lola’s trying to say is that you’re a total hypocrite!
  • In Season 3, the school tries to instate a sexist dress code, and the girls protest by wearing skimpy outfits to school, saying they should be teaching boys self-control instead of teaching girls to cover up. Andrew leads the boys against them, trying to justify his recent Jerkass behavior on inability to control himself.
    Jessie: You guys are being disgusting!
    […]
    Lola: Omigod! You guys are like total animals!
    Andrew: Exactly! That’s what I’ve been saying! We’re animals!
    Jessie: You are not animals! Stop saying that!
    Andrew: Well, why don’t you stop telling me what I can and can’t say?!
    Maury: Yeah, this country was built on hate speech!
    Jessie: How ‘bout this—stop being a creep!
    Andrew: I’m not being a creep! You’re the ones who dressed up sexy and then get mad at us for saying you’re sexy! It’s like, what do you bitches want from us?!
    [Girls gasp]
    Devin: Bitches?
    Nick: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Andrew! They’re not bitches! They’re sluts!
    Jessie: Don’t call us sluts!
    Nick: But you’re calling yourselves sluts!
    Jessie: We’re allowed!
    Nick: Look, I’m just trying to be an ally to women!
    Andrew: Why are you taking the girls’ side?
    Jay: Yeah! You’re a pussy!
    Connie: Oh no! Jud was right!
    Jay: I bet you have a pussy! Let me see it!
    Nick: I can’t win! What am I supposed to do?!
    Connie: I dunno! Apologize on a podcast?
