History YMMV / BigMouth

* AllAdultAnimationIsSouthPark: The first trailer got an extremely negative reaction from viewers who only saw it as a giant step backwards towards the kind of gross, sexist humor that more recent animated shows for adults (including [[WesternAnimation/BojackHorseman another, highly acclaimed Netflix show]]) had defied. It didn't help that it's art style is reminiscent of 2000s-era prime time show which played this trope straight and that one of the head writers worked on ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''. That being said, the show proper isn't as excessive with lowbrow humor as many expected it to be.

* AwesomeMoments: The entire party calling out Daniel for his assholish behavior (attempting to trick every girl he is with into giving him head and shaming them when they refuse), culminating in Nick vomiting into his hat and Leah forcing it on his head. The kicker, however, is Jay, who at first seemed to be on Daniel's side till he understood the part about it all being nonconsensual. He goes to give Daniel a scarf to wipe off the vomit... and then does a magic trick to make it disappear when he reaches for it, moonwalking away from him with both middle fingers raised.

* LoveItOrHateIt: So far, it's either a hilarious and relatable look at the experiences of puberty or it's gross and lowbrow.

* AcceptableTargets: Jay's homophobic brothers are depicted as unambiguously cruel.

* CargoShip: Caonon: Jay and his pillow. They even wind up having a baby!

** The cutaway gag about what a head push is... [[InTheStyleOf done as a spoof of]] Series/{{Seinfeld}} to soften [[JustForPun the blow]] of an otherwise serious discussion.

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: It's spelled out rather bluntly, but "Girls Get Horny Too" drops the important anvil that you shouldn't be afraid of your body, especially when it comes to sexuality.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Matthew tricking Jay into thinking TransEqualsGay ''and'' convincing him to tell everyone that, all for the sake of his own entertainment.

* BizarroPlot: "Pillow Talk" involves Jay impregnating his [[SuddenlyVoiced now-sentient]] pillow, with the rest of the episode depicting them going through the stereotypical motions of a real life pregnancy (morning sickness, feeling the baby, etc) and the drama of 13-year-old Jay now being the father of a 40-year-old pillow's baby. It ends with the pillow leaving him and taking their half-pillow, half-human hybrid baby with her and Jay deciding to start fucking his bathmat instead. ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext.

* AcceptableTargets: Jay's homophobic bothers are depicted as unambiguously cruel.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: The two hormone monsters tend to get a lot of fanart, if only because theirs are the only character designs people seem to like.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: Being a show about characters going through puberty, naturally some people went full PedoHunt. Even past that basic concept, however, some of the potential viewership has complained about the artstyle and ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' esque shock humor(though the show doesn't get nearly as dark as modern Family Guy or similar shows like ''Brickleberry'' or ''DrawnTogether'').
** Not helping the Family Guy comparisons is how one of its writers, Andrew Goldberg, is co-creator of this series.
* LoveItOrHateIt: So far, people either seem to really like it and find it relatable, or they find it gross and can't stand it.

* AllAdultAnimationIsSouthPark: It's not an uncommon opinion that the show is trying way too hard to be adult.

* UncannyValley: If there's one thing about the show that everyone agrees on, it's that the character designs don't really look appealing.
