Big Mouth's Terrible Spin-Off

[@callumrangan1061]

Honestly I thought HR was better than Big Mouth. It had a more interesting story and the monsters adventures with the adults we’ve never met seemed more intriguing than a bunch of kids going through puberty

Same, i found the way the creatures? Interact with the humans fun and interesting.

[@Antwannnn]

Puberty for YEARS. I was a freshman when this show started. I'm no longer in school bruh. And they're in the same spot. The creator needs to grow some balls and age them up. It's a hormone show! Last time I checked 15, 15, 16, 17 and so on go through this.

I found Keith from Grief one of the most accurate portrayals of the process of grief in media & Henry Winkler's vocal performance for Keith was menancing and yet so soothing.

[@suitdoggy4707]

Imma sound so corny but I felt touched when Keith from Grief was helping that guy get through his mother's death. It just related to me and I actually didnt see it coming from a show with WORK ORGIES.

⁠@@suitdoggy4707same. I liked how he stayed calm and just kept trying, actively acknowledging and understanding the steps that people go through. He doesn't rush them since he knows this is what people do and even need to process such events. His final scene just being him talking calmly and asking what the dad, the obviously most effected out of the family, what he wants to do was heartwarming.

[@jacoblehn8752]

Confirmation bias. You wanted him to be accurate

[@marsalin97]

Two of my favourite plot lines are the woman with alzeihmers, and the nonverbal autistic child trying to communicate that he wants a toy truck. I think the first is really grounded and shows a lot of people that love and loss are parts of life, and we cant hold on to everything forever, and the kid getting his truck was heartwarming as an autistic person myself watching the process of showing your wants while not being able to vervbalise them be told in such an interesting and relatable way. It made me really like petra, because shes usually so hard to love (on purpose) but she goes out of her comfort zone and bonds with the kid to get him what he wants

[@ringer1324]

I actually think it’s way better than the main show and actually pretty good sometimes

[@ZekeorSomething]

It is too bad Netflix is ending it on season 2

[@galaxy_kicks7911]

That’s what I thought!

[@antant6217]

I can actually relate to that disability plotline. I have cerebral palsy and my parents drilled in so much praise and "you can do anything" speeches that i have a need to excel at everything and I get super depressed and internalized ableism goes hard whenever I mess up anything. This show would've been been a lot better if they just played it way more as a drama than trying to be a super unfunny comedy with the occasional glimmers of quality.

[@DoobieKeebler]

I have a different situation: I have Autism & a shit ton of emotional psychological issues, but I was an overall completely healthy kid-to-adult. Then I got accosted by numerous physical injuries that left me disabled. Except... My friends, associates - Hell - my own freaking family give me the God Damn, "you're not really hurt. If you quit being a little baby man / took a motrin / 'I probably hurt worse than you on a Wednesday' / if you just worked out / if you just got Physical Therapy / if you just saw a specialist....(you get the idea).

[@unknownentity7964]

I hope you don't mind me telling quite a personal sad story, feel free to skip if you're not in the right mental space to read it- I have a progressive neuromuscular disease (shutting down my muscles and organs over time), and I could relate so hard to that storyline. My parents did exactly the same thing, they went for all the 'inspiration porn' type phrases to 'motivate' me, basically told me that I could do anything if I tried hard enough. Plus much more.. And eventually it led to a massive breakdown of our family around when I was 16. After much therapy, they told me that the reason they acted that way because they couldn't accept the reality that my condition is terminal, and that I won't live to be an adult and to experience all these things that they told me I could achieve if I tried hard enough. They kept pushing me to go to university, said I could do any job I wanted, of course I'd meet a partner one day who'd love me for me and accept all my issues etc,... Each time they said phrases like that, it was so their minds could persuade themselves to believe that if they talked about my future enough, that'd mean I would actually live long enough for that future to happen. As if it would be impossible for me die if they made and believed hard enough in all those life plans.a I understand why my parents acted the way they did and why their minds made up they coping mechanism , but I still suffer the mental after effects even so. There's a lot of shame, feeling like I'm not good enough or not trying hard enough to 'overcome'... It made it much more difficult for me to come to terms with the fact that I'm going to die young, when my parents talked as if I was 100% going to live til I was 80+ years old. As a kid, you look to your parents for the truth, so it makes a lot of issues if you can't do that. Luckily I (and my family) have a lot of support from a children's hospice who are used to situations like ours, I don't know what would have happened if we didn't have that help. I really push myself to forgive my parents though, and to properly understand how they felt and why they did/said what they did. I don't want anger or resentment to be there during the few years (if I'm lucky) left of my life. Heavy topics aside, I'm just really happy to see a character like me in any media!!! I legit nearly cried when I saw a character in an electric wheelchair and who uses a ventilator like me. I'm so glad they got an actually disabled actor too, it means her voice is authentic in a way that it could never be with an able bodied voice actor. Her voice sounds just like mine does (something that I'm very self conscious about, as the ventilator-voice is something I got bullied for) so it means so much that they didn't try to 'hide' the less socially acceptable parts of her disability by having a different voice actor. I would have been happy to have watched any storyline, as long as I was finally able to see someone like me on TV! It is a bit sad though, that it's taken my whole life til now to feel actually represented on TV and what a big impact something so small had on me Sorry for the long comment, I don't really have friends or anyone to talk to about things like this, so I hope it's okay that I replied to you (as I feel like you'd understand a little, given your own experience of disability). I have autism too, so I find it very hard to connect to people and I've been told that I communicate weirdly or scare people off, so I'm sorry if my message made a social mistake

i’m honestly really upset that hr is getting canceled! i connected with it *so* much more than i did. with big mouth, especially with season 2. the whole arc with the kid got me really invested in him and his mothers, as well as the disabled activist lady. i just really wish they spent more time with what made the show relatable, the humans!

Human Resources wasn’t EXACTLY my cup of tea, but it had solid moments. The old lady’s whole arc with the Ru Paul lovebug, the shame wizard’s fear of losing his mother to the depression cat, and the girlfriend VS Berkley debacle. The ideas are in there, under all the sex jokes and gross out humor.

[@TheDigitalApple]

I feel like the show runners introduced the newer creatures/ideas just to pitch a spin-off towards Netflix.

[@NYRfan85]

I actually liked HR better than Big Mouth because of the human stories and how they utilized all of the different types of monsters. It's a shame it ended, because the human stories were so well done, especially in Season 2. The episode with the nonverbal boy wanting the truck was so relatable, because my toddler is nonverbal and how they represented it was so well done. The way they handled grief from both the father and the daughter's different perspectives was interesting, especially when it was revealed that they were related.

[@totallytravicious]

I honestly love this show when its doing one of two things (or both at the same time if im lucky) is when they do songs, and when they actually have like scenes with the human characters about their feelings or relationships or what have you. It just feels super down to earth, compared to the rest of the show which is desperately trying to keep the big mouth audiences attention with jokes. But that is specifically why i like Human Resources so much, it genuinely feels like they're trying to say something about people instead of just doing jokes for 30 mins straight.

[@totallytravicious]

Btw am I the only one who thought that the hormone monster kid wanting to be a shame wizard was supposed to be trans coding? Like they do a sports episode and I thought the conflict would be that a hormone monster is just better at sports than shame wizards so they'd find it unfair that they're playing for the shame wizards. But they just kinda do something else that I don't even care enough to commit to memory. And now that the shoes canceled its like just something I'll always wonder about

[@suitdoggy4707]

@@totallytravicious His whole character is trans coded so I wouldn't be surprised. If you watched the episode with him in big mouth you find out that hormone monsters pick their gender at maturity and he calls human forms of gendering primitive.

[@TheMidnightskies]

I’m a huge fan of HR. It can be stupidly raunchy, but it’s got some really impactful episodes on love, communication, grief, and bagels 😂

[@AlphaBookZ]

I personally absolutely love Human Resources as a show. I love Big Mouth to but I just _love_ HR. I love how the plots can be serious as hell, while remaining comedic. One of my favourite episodes is it's almost over, when Keith shows up. The way he keeps coming in more and more, each time getting even more intense, then at the end it deescalates in a natural way is so gorgeous. The way we connect to Yara on such a deep level, the loss of her in the end isn't played down, it's raw and _real_ and you _feel_ that loss. My other favourite one is Pity Party, the one with Sal the non-verbal kid. I love how Petra treated him not as dumb for being unable to talk, but as a person who loved that truck (side note that part where he was shown with the truck he was pretending to be was such a good bit!). I absolutely love the way it was handled. I am autistic, and I do speak, but I understand the frustration of not being understood in that situation. It doesn't villianise the teacher or parents for not understanding him, and shows how kids can be unreasonably cruel but not in an angry way! I think the part about when Alice tells off Sal's parents for putting the pressure on him to speak. It's very realistic & I personally hated the fact my parents both treated me like that, the way that they put pressure on him to succeed as they celebrate his communication skills. Both sides in that are right, it isn't fair to pressure someone to be something while also being right about how big an achievement it was for Sal to communicate. I absolutely love the show, and was really sad to see it cancelled. The stories were engaging & surprisingly funny! I love how Pete & Val had that talk, it was so good!

[@maddymooo]

I always accept your criticisms. Even though I think Human Resources is a good show. However, I'm very happy that you found the grief and mental illness subplot to be riveting. They're so well written and I absolutely disagree with anyone who says it isn't. Beautiful stories. Also. I had no idea season 2 was already released! My god.

Human Resources actually imo improves Big Mouth’s newer problems in a few ways. The characters are interesting, some storylines aren’t dropped after one episode and the engagement between the cast members and funny references saves it from being just ok at best

[@riarivera5995]

To be honest, i was actually interested in Human resources. It was a fun concept a shame that world building was squandered for low brow jokes. But the emotional beats were good. Like the episode where the indian grandma and her family. They focus on greif, generational gaps, how precious memories are, and the ultimate goodbye. Walter being there and the ever presence of love in all forms (platonic, romantic, familial, bittersweet) was heartwarming and keith from greif actually helped me process the death of my own grandfather and my dog a year after. So i cant say the whole show is garbage. It has alot of wasted potential and it can get very annoying but it had its gold nuggets in there.

[@kyralangendorff5568]

i was weirdly distracted by the ratchet and clank music the whole time because its such a strange thing to put in the background of a commentary video

[@candiedcolloquium4918]

Definitely the biggest improvement in the second season was reducing the screen time of the most annoying characters (like Rick and Tyler) down to almost nothing. It's crazy how much more enjoyable a show becomes when the obnoxious "I-only-exist-to-say-something-wacky" characters aren't given as much focus as the ones with actual development. The complete removal of Coach Steve is also why the spin off is leagues better, basically the characters where Nick Kroll does a funny voice make these shows soo much worse, which is hilarious considering he's the creator yet his presence drags the whole thing down so much. The vocal performances of everyone else is a huge part of what makes the show so good imo. They are putting their all into it and it sucks that the whole thing gets cheapened by the show's creator showing up to say haha random things in a funny voice bc he just can't help himself I guess? I think he works good as Maury but the rest of them (including his own child self insert lmao) fall completely flat. It really sucks that as soon as Human Resources seemed to be finding its footing, reducing the big mouth references to almost nothing, and showing what potential it had as its own story, it gets canceled, meanwhile the worse version of it lasts 4 times as long because I guess the Nick Kroll voices are what keep the kids coming back.

[@bababobo5067]

I like how a show can go on for 8 seasons and win accolades, and yet you’ll still get people going “Lol. Big Mouth failed. Nobody wanted to watch this”. I repeat… 8 seasons. Plus, I shouldn’t have to tell you that a show getting cancelled was because people didn’t like it. If that were true, we wouldn’t have people complaining about the loss of other shows that have been cancelled. It usually has something to do with not wanting a show to go on to long, or money, or change in structure, or whatever.

I actually REALLY like this show which I didn’t expect. I was so upset hearing it got cancelled. They were finally starting to find their ground, and they told such interesting stories, while low key educating you on understanding difficult things like dementia. It was so beautiful.

Netflix's adult animated cartoon series section is so bizarre on the one hand you have shit like big mouth or shitty Family Guy clone 10,001, but on the other hand you have things like tear across the dotted line and Bojack horseman that are mature and thought provoking in a way 99% of adult animation wish's it could be. I mean Bojack Horseman is just straight up my favourite be of art ever. And tear across the dotted line is probably in my top ten favourite tv shows.

[@Lizard-Wizard084]

I hate how so many adult shows squander the fact they’re for adults. They’re allowed to do so much more. But they make terrible sex, ass, dirty, disgusting humor that realistically only a 13 year old would enjoy. It’s a waste. You could go so much deeper and get even more taboo if you wanted to, just make it MEAN something. Anything. Tell a story.

Good it's the first time I see someone watching "Zerocalcare" that is not Italian,man you probably missed out on a lot of things. I'm still happy that you liked it

[@CommonNeon]

Honestly, I really liked Human Resources. The logic rock was the best character, in my opinion. I actually liked it better than Big Mouth. I only watch Big Mouth for the hormone monsters. They are the only characters I liked. So, I'm glad they are in the spin off. I wish it got another season. And the music was really good, and my favorite was the plot with the old lady. It actually made me a little emotional, I haven't finished season 2 yet. But overall, I would prefer this over Big Mouth any day

Human resources was honestly pretty good i enjoyed the first season haven't watched the second yet

[@flewis02]

Sorry...but i really like Human Resources......the episode with the dying old lady reliving her most fond moments in life was amazing because its something we are all gonna have to deal with eventually...it was a very different take on accepting loss and dealing with grief...EDIT I posted this before watching..glad Mark agrees

[@L1ncore]

I liked human resources a lot more than big mouth tbh. I felt the storylines with the human characters were a lot more interesting and emotionally impactful, probably due in part to the fact that they’re adults. The second season is a lot less satisfying though with its conclusions imo. Felt rushed. i also think throughout the whole series, the good stories really get bogged down when you have to watch 15 mins worth of unrelated, unfunny c*ck fighting jokes. They rly would have benefited from focusing on one human character per episode. Big mouth has a big problem with focus too. Feels like theyre trying too hard to be random and its rly frustrating when it starts to hinder the structure and pacing.

[@CheshireNoNeko]

Wasn't expecting A Tear along the dotted line/Tear me down reference here, very much appreciated. A video about them would be fantastic

[@Dylan-nn3oz]

I get super stoned with my girlfriend and we watch both big mouth and Human Resources and as you expect weed can make anything okay enough

[@heehoopeanut420]

I think Human Resources is so good, and I think anyone could benefit from the shows portrayl of difficult emotions like grief, post partum depression, and a lot more.

[@thedapp4444]

i still dont get why netflix favors big mouth above all their other better and more profitable ones

[@haunted_loverboy6537]

Oh boy here we go again

[@anddylapechq8716]

Can’t wait for you to talk about tear through the dotted line that shit so good

[@Uhhhhh1188]

Tbh, never heard this show got a spin off.

[@lambda1863]

I'm so happy he brought up tear along the dotted line I love that show so much and it's sequel is really good too

[@YATOSHUSBANDO]

Idk 🤷‍♂️ seasons ones Human Resources episode about grief and accepting it made me cry

[@PhantoFantasma]

if you played 5 random ls mark videos to someone that doesn't speak english i think they'd be convinced they're the same audio file repeated considering how every video is written with the exact same structure and delivery

[@PhantoFantasma]

unrelated but the guassian blur between poses doesn't look very good i prefer it just sharply changing if you dont wanna do the storytime animator wobble thing

[@12DAMDO]

i like Human Resources better because it's the same show without the things i hate about the main show... so basically it's mid-tier, which isn't always a bad thing

[@JackKeegan]

I loved the first season of HR, yet to watch season 2 but can't say I'll be disappointed!

[@peterversionone]

With Big Mouth, I just care about one thing, I want to find out who is the Ponytail Killer. I hope that it is solved before the show is done

[@DisorderInOrder]

HR was actually pretty good. i watched it first, and found me wanting more of it, when i watched BM i enjoyed it. but HR was forsure the better execution of their concept of emotion monsters.

[@LordTails66]

Its not terrible, its pretty damn good.

[@lorenzdistruzzi6928]

Personally I find HR much more mature and enjoyable than big mouth, the sex jokes and casual swearing is much less frequent, and the themes are very mature, not to mention how they handle the key moments in both seasons. So I disagree I do like Human resources and I wish it would have continued

[@CartoDarko]

LS Mark's editor!! I love everything about how you edit these videos but the new blur behind Mark when he appears over a video is really distracting (and also the transition from different poses) but aside from that it's so fuckin funny I love it otherwise

[@JumboJumper]

*"BABE! WAKE UP! LS MARK JUST POSTED ANOTHER BIG MOUTH VIDEO!"* Great video by the way! It's always fun seeing your videos!

[@doozsromhacks]

i was watching with my gf its aight, i don't hate it, some parts are nice/funny and good messages others are obnoxious

[@jonadronkert3130]

the Hannah Montana joke pisses me because how didn't she know that Hannah and Miley were the same person? That is literally what the whole show Hannah Montana is about. How do you miss that fact, even as a child? Knowing that has nothing to do with logic.
