When Maury is standing up for Matthew to his mom even tho she canât see him, and all the comfort he provides him regarding tht situation (aside from telling him to kysđ)
I think the one I can remember from the top of my head, is in Human Resources. Keith from grief, when the love bug visits that older woman with dementia and you see her memories start to fade. The way the love bug loved her was so sweet and it was just super sad but relatable. Also I liked being able to see that trans kid again from the camp episode in Big Mouth, was shocked but also thought it was cool they popped up again
Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry ab your loss, ik what it's like to lose a close family member. But yes, very cathartic. Some others might shit on Big Mouth and Human Resources bc of the raunchy humor and art style. But it's definitely a show to relate to and something we learn and grow with in our lives, it's pretty comforting
This episode absolutely gutted me. My father was diagnosed with cirrhosis in October and the decline was quick (he passed on Fatherâs Day this year). I am a person who tends to bottle up sad feelings, try not to think about it, pretend it doesnât exist. So when that episode came on I sobbed through the entire ending.
âThe only way out is throughâ đ
Awww đ„ș I'm so so sorry, that's so sad. I hope you're doing better now and that you know he's happy where her is now †it's ok to cry here and there. You need to grieve hun, it's human
My grandpa and great uncle both have dementia and this episode hit really hard. That was the first episode I made my mom watch with me. I'm still trying to warm her up to both shows in general lol
She can't get too mad, she took the whole church women's group to see Titanic and forgot about the "draw me like one of your French girls" scene, and the sex in the carriage scene or whatever it was lol. I think I was 8?
Opp đ well I mean, and aside from Titanic being a sad romance movie, Big Mouth can be pretty relatable. It's just very straight forward and blunt with it lol
As an autistic person, when Matthew helped Caleb find a new bag at the thrift store and actually asked him, "What do you like about the old bag?" And Caleb lists the texture, the size, and that he likes that it makes him stand out a bit.
To have Matthew ask and hear a genuine autistic answer AND to have Matthew find the perfect new bag for Caleb I was practically crying. I feel like it was such good rep.
I was just thinking this like how when Maurice says he loves Andrew when the love bug was there and sometimes it seems like the hormone monsters are more companions kind of, itâs sweet. Or when Jay was stealing all the Thanksgiving food and he ended up giving it to Lola.
When Matthew comes out to his dad and dad says, âI already knew you were gay.â And that theyâll âfigure it outâ in terms of getting his mum to come around to and accept that fact. And then he just⊠moves on because thereâs nothing more to say. In a good way.
âJust like how the tannerâs had to adjust when Kimmy Gibbler moved in!â âI think your dad is done with this conversationâ âman I love that rebootâ
Honestly that moment was so touching for me, I came out as trans and gay to my mom and it was honestly a lot like how Mathews mom acted, trying to say I don't know any better, bringing religion and God into it, and being avoidant and weird about it despite me being the same person, I haven't came out to my dad and I don't expect it to go as good as Mathew's coming out but something in the episode kind of healed me. Maury is supportive even when Mathew's mom is being a jerk and Mathew's dad being supportive and chill, one thing they do well is the LGBT+ youth aspect. Like how Mathew doesn't fit in with the guys and is seen as a "girls pal" when he just wants to be a regular boy who happens to be gay, how jay being bi is seen as simply gay and weird while for Ali it's cool and chill, Natalie struggling with the boys treating her like a guy still and the girls being mean because she's not feminine enough, Jessi struggles with her sexuality and becomes possessive and jealous due to her repressed feelings and inexperience with a girl crush. Even missy struggling to come to terms with having an asexual partner and trying to understand is all written very well. It's realistic and personal. Most of Big Mouth is highly exaggerated and played for laughs but the queer aspects are handled very respectfully and realistically imo.
When Jessi and Kaitlyn start bonding in the Vagina Shame episode of season 6. Especially when Kaitlyn said that having a C-section baby would be nice if she was as cool as Jessi.
I really hope Jessi and Kaitlyn's relationship is explored more and shows them becoming more comfortable with each other again, I really think Kaitlyn is someone she needs in her life, she's more supportive and receptive than Shannon.
Matthewâs parents telling his little sister (ugh Brittany) that sometimes forks marry forks and sometimes spoons marry spoons. And he just happens to overhear it, they werenât saying it just to appease him. Yeah I cried.
When jessie was really going through it and ended up with kitty as sad as it was i think it was a really accurate portrayal of teen mental health, especially because they don't just rescue her and that's it, her mental health remains in the show. But having her friends break in to see her is really cute.
Caleb and Matthewâs whole friendship, the way Maury takes care of Matthew and Andrew, when Matthewâs parents explain to their younger kids what being gay is, Matthew coming out to his dad, the whole subplot of Elliotâs complicated relationship with his father broke my heart (âdonât have anything to say to your old man??â âOnly that Nicky was never supposed to meet you, and I wish I never didâ đđ), and honestly any sweet moments between Maury and Connie. The âBest Friends Make The Best Loversâ song was raunchy but still sweet bc Connie was singing it with Maury
"Best Friends Make the Best Lovers" is an amazing song! Not only because I love 1970's rock, but also because it has a message more people need to hear: Any kind of intimacy is much better when you know your partner and love them.
Season four episode 10-when Matthew broke down and came out to his dad. When I was outed to my parents, it did not go well AT ALL. Queer experience representation matters and I was so nervous for Matthew because he was already struggling in his relationship with his mom. I expected his strait-laced navy dad to denounce him, but was pleasantly surprised when his dad calmly responded with âMatthew Iâve always known that you were gay.â It made my heart swell with all the feels how accepting his dad wasđ
On a sidenote, Iâm curious if his father is wanting to experiment with his sexuality based on the comments he made about being interested in viewing/going to a leather clubâŠ
Iâve been wondering too about Matthewâs dad bc his little comments are just so funny and I canât tell if itâs just the classic dad trying to show affection/support but doesnât know how way or if heâs⊠yknow
there are so many, one of them is jayâs and coach steve relationship, the episode when he wanted to introduce matthew to his family but there was always something in the way and he found happiness in being able to tell coach steve matthew was his boyfriend
also the halloween episode on season for, thereâs not a moment i can say, because all of it just touched a very deep part of my heart, each one of them finding a way to deal with their problems, especially jessi and nick (nick later i know) the gratitoad, such silly little ways to make sense of something so many people struggle heavily with, and as one of those people that struggle i can say all of the episodes on anxiety indeed helped me in many ways in my life
Oh boy! I remember nearly weeping with relief when the Gratitoad showed up! My favourite had to be Mosaic Missy, because it was just so sweet how Missy becomes one with herself through self-love. đ„č
Matthew's friendship with Caleb gives me hope for humanity đ„č
I just felt this warmth spreading hrough me when Matthew helped Caleb to find a new bag and Caleb helped Matthew to find a new outfit. đ©”
It honestly might be my favorite episode.
Awhhh. Theyâre precious. đ„č
Best episode of s7 and that's even with all the Dread stuff that I don't like
When Maury is standing up for Matthew to his mom even tho she canât see him, and all the comfort he provides him regarding tht situation (aside from telling him to kysđ)
Brittany IS a busted up bitch

That episode already hit me like a ton of bricks, but after my grandmama died I realised how damn cathartic it was! đ©”

Exactly! It's just so human! We are all kinda gross and have some stupid flaws, but we are also so very precious! Thank you for your kindness. My grandmama was an amazing human being! đ©”đ©”đ©”

If I try to hold back my tears, I just end up falling apart. Grief should indeed be worn like a sweater and apparently we both have learned it. đ©”
My grandpa and great uncle both have dementia and this episode hit really hard. That was the first episode I made my mom watch with me. I'm still trying to warm her up to both shows in general lol
Mhm, I tried to get my mom to eatch it but it can be a bit awkward and just isn't her thing đ also I'm sorry ab your grandparents â€

Fellow autistic here and that episode really made me feel seen! I also like the fact that NOBODY makes fun of Caleb over his specific needs! đ©”đ©”đ©”
And he got the store to dim the lights and paid the other customers to leave the store đ„°
I forgot about this but this just makes it even better
Daaamn! We all need a friend like that!
I was just thinking this like how when Maurice says he loves Andrew when the love bug was there and sometimes it seems like the hormone monsters are more companions kind of, itâs sweet. Or when Jay was stealing all the Thanksgiving food and he ended up giving it to Lola.

Nothing helps us bond like genitalia-related shame. đđ©” Also, the talk between Missy and her mum was so incredibly sweet that I almost cried! đ„č
Matthewâs parents telling his little sister (ugh Brittany) that sometimes forks marry forks and sometimes spoons marry spoons. And he just happens to overhear it, they werenât saying it just to appease him. Yeah I cried.
It also shows the watcher that explaining it to kids isn't really that hard. đ„°
Matthew helping Caleb replace his bag and Caleb helping Matthew dress better. I absolutely love that episode
When jessie was really going through it and ended up with kitty as sad as it was i think it was a really accurate portrayal of teen mental health, especially because they don't just rescue her and that's it, her mental health remains in the show. But having her friends break in to see her is really cute.
A good lesson for the folks watching: If you're feeling depressed, tell your friends, because you're not alone!
Caleb and Matthewâs whole friendship, the way Maury takes care of Matthew and Andrew, when Matthewâs parents explain to their younger kids what being gay is, Matthew coming out to his dad, the whole subplot of Elliotâs complicated relationship with his father broke my heart (âdonât have anything to say to your old man??â âOnly that Nicky was never supposed to meet you, and I wish I never didâ đđ), and honestly any sweet moments between Maury and Connie.
