Character

Masterbater Andrew

Masterbater Andrew in Big Mouth (2017), played by John Mulaney.

Andrew Glouberman is a seventh grader whose body has become a stranger to him overnight — hair sprouting, urges surging, embarrassment constant. He wants desperately to seem normal to his friends and to the girls he's suddenly noticing, but his own newly awakened hormones keep sabotaging him in public, humiliating ways.

Mulaney plays puberty's chaos as pure anxious id, all clipped, mortified line readings that turn every horny impulse into a small crisis of conscience. The show is unflinching about what actually happens to a twelve-year-old's body, and Andrew's squirming, guilt-ridden honesty about it is what makes the grossness feel oddly tender rather than gratuitous.
