8 Elliot
A Picture-Perfect Example Of Zen
- Voice Actor: Fred Armesin
Elliot Birch is the father of Nick Birch, and a moment past first glance makes viewers wonder if Nick might have been adopted. Elliot is a walking embodiment of self-confidence and charisma who has fully realized his emotions and has become at peace.

Devil May Cry and Tomb Raider: The Legend Of Lara Croft are evidence that animated shows are arguably the best medium for video game adaptations.
From his sexual curiosity, emotional intelligence, and healthy masculinity, Elliot is a stark contrast to the toxic, insecure, and bratty offspring that he showers with love. Elliot always arrives with class and kindness, never missing an opportunity to be affectionate to his family.
7 Coach Steve
A Diamond In The Rough
- Voice Actor: Nick Kroll
Coach Steve is an enigmatic character who only graces the screen when the kids truly need him. As the coach of the entire school, Coach Steve also tries ot be the voice of reason, best friend, and conscience of the students in his care. Doing this while being obviously unhinged and a bit lacking mentally is a wonder in of itself.
Coach Steve seems to be the only adult who can interact with the hormone monsters and the slew of other mystical creatures sprouting up all over the place while finding the time to become knee-deep in bizarre situations, which makes sense for anyone capable of appearing as a father figure to Jay.
6 Matthew
A Pocket Full Of Sunshine And Ego
- Voice Actor: Andrew Rannells
Matthew is one of the most normal characters in Big Mouth who seems to have his head on straight, regardless of its size. As an aficionado of style and class, Elliot makes it his business to be the master of class in any situation.
However, more often than not, he is brought down to the level of his classmates when tempted by a pretty face or a lucrative opportunity. Matthew has become best friends with Jessi, and between the two, the drama is never-ending. But each scene with Elliot gets better and better as he brings his own charm and dysfunction to the series.
5 Jud
A Rebel Without A Cause
- Voice Actor: Jon Daly
Jud is Nick's older brother, and, in true older sibling fashion, never fails to make Nick's life as miserable as possible. Jud's appearances may be very few, but the brief moments in which he decides to grace the audience with his presence are in some of the most confusing and entertaining of circumstances.
With a dark and grim attitude who rebels against any kindness or affection, it bewilders the minds of viewers how he was produced from Elliot and Diane Birch. However, Jud's eccentric behavior adds to the raunchy comedy of Big Mouth, and he's always celebrated when on screen.
4 Missy
All The Faults And All The Virtues
- Voice Actor: Jenny Slate, Ayo Edeberi
Missy began as an innocent and naive young girl raised by two of the most ordinary parents who gave her all the love and affection she could ever need. But the real world hit Missy like a truck, and instead of giving up, she took it like a champ and decided to hit back.
The premiere season version of Missy and the current season version of Missy are like night and day, and her journey through the rocky road of pre-teen has been one of the most hilarious and heartfelt in Big Mouth. Missy goes through many unique challenges on top of the typical ones and deals with them as best as anyone could, with laughs and cries.
3 Jay
A Charismatic Ball Of Absolute Chaos
- Voice Actor: Joe Mantzoukus
Jay is less like a Kid and more like a force of nature that does not obey the rules of physics. As a future Hormone Monster himself, Jay defies all reason and acts on pure instinct and desire.
The Best Marvel Animated Series, Ranked
Marvel's library includes several memorable animated series that are worth checking out for fans of Spider-Man, Wolverine, and more.
While his classmates struggle with the difficulties of maturity, Jay fends off the shackles of society by living wild and free. There's no question that Jay is the star of the show, whose romantic relationship with his pillow, borderline homelessness, and questionable role models speak to a more than traumatic childhood that Jay handles with style.
2 Connie
Uncompromising, Unmatched, And Unforgettable
- Voice Actor: Maya Rudolph
Connie is one of several Hormone Monsters that populate Big Mouth and initially appears as Jessie's partner in crime. It is clear from the start that while she is fuel for one's more unhinged desires, she carries herself with an increased level of class compared to her male counterpart.
Best Animated Movies To Watch If You Love Shrek
It's near impossible to capture the magic and humor of a masterpiece like Shrek, but these animated movies come surprisingly close to it.
Connie is an ultimate egotist with a splash of southern charm that makes her stand out among the colorful cast of characters in Big Mouth and makes a huge impression. In hilarious fashion, Connie talks her charges into the most hilarious situations and panics at the consequences.
1 Maury
The Best Hormone Demon Anyone Could Ask For
- Voice Actor: Nick Kroll
Maury is the crown jewel of Big Mouth, the hormone demon with a horn of gold and a mind that's always in the gutter. Maury's raunchy sense of humor and sometimes detestable charm make him a fantastic character in Big Mouth and Human Resources.
As the Hormone Monster to Andrew, the two make a perfect match of completely unhinged horn dogs. Maury plays both the devil and angel on the boys' shoulders in Big Mouth, and while the outcome may not be as desired, he assures that Andrew and his other charges never live with regret..
