The popular animated series “Big Mouth” on Netflix has never been one to shy away from pushing boundaries, but co-creator and star Nick Kroll recently shared a moment where even they realized they may have gone too far.
During the series finale premiere at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood, Kroll recounted a scene where Maury, a character on the show, was depicted having sex with the decapitated skull of Garrison Keillor. This shocking scene took place before Keillor’s own scandal in 2017, but Netflix still allowed it to air. However, it was another moment in the same scene that really made the creators question if they had crossed a line. Rick, another character, takes a thermometer out of his penis, causing a bit of blood to spurt out. Netflix hesitated and suggested toning it down, to which the creators agreed it was indeed a bit much.
The eighth and final season of “Big Mouth” is set to premiere on May 26, with a star-studded cast including Ayo Edebiri, Jason Mantzoukas, and Andrew Rannells. The after-party even featured penis-shaped grilled cheese sandwiches, a testament to the show’s unapologetically bold humor.
Looking ahead, Kroll revealed his involvement in the upcoming “Smurfs” movie, where he plays a “bad guy wizard” alongside stars like Rihanna, John Goodman, and Amy Sedaris. Kroll joked about producing Rihanna’s music for the film after working on her new album, adding a touch of humor to his exciting new role.
Overall, “Big Mouth” continues to push boundaries and challenge viewers with its outrageous humor and bold storytelling. Fans can look forward to the final season while also anticipating Kroll’s upcoming projects, including his villainous role in the beloved “Smurfs” franchise. With a mix of shock value and humor, “Big Mouth” remains a standout series in the world of animated comedies.
