Vicky

Vicky arrives as one of the many voices populating Big Mouth's frank, hormone-addled world of middle schoolers navigating puberty, embarrassment, and the general chaos of growing up. Within that ensemble, she carries her own small corner of awkwardness and desire, sketched with the show's usual mix of crudeness and surprising tenderness.

Jenny Slate brings her distinctive comic timing and warmth to the role, finding the specific human flailing underneath even a minor character's outbursts. Big Mouth's writing tends to grant every voice a real emotional logic beneath the raunch, and Slate's delivery makes Vicky feel like a person rather than a punchline, however briefly she appears.
