Big Mouth already boasts an impressive cast of A-list comedians, but they might just top that in the upcoming season by guest starring the cast of Queer Eye. Antoni, Bobby, JVN and Tan have all posted character sheets to Instagram, and the art style is unmistakable. The real question here is, who’s getting the makeover?
Plenty of the characters in Big Mouth could definitely use some sprucing up in the fashion department, and you could argue that all of them need a loving intervention from Queer Eye’s very own culture expert (because who doesn’t?). For now, it’s impossible to tell whether this is all for a visual gag, or if we’re going to getting a whole animated crossover, but we can certainly dream – and theorise.
Let’s rule out the kids first. It’s hard to imagine the show insinuating that twelve-year-olds need their appearance roasted beyond what they already cop from their peers. That pretty much just leaves the parents, the teachers, and the hormone monsters.
I would personally love to watch Antoni teach Maurice how to make guacamole and I have a rock solid theory that might even explain why we haven’t seen Karamo’s Big Mouth-sona yet. Andrew’s dad, Marty Glouberman, is going to be Queer Eye‘s latest success story.
It just makes sense. He has zero self-care, and definitely doesn’t appreciate his wife enough. Will Karamo revive their family dynamic with a tearful conversation and intense eye contact? If anyone can do it, it’s Karamo.
Some social media comments have already nominated Coach Steve as for a whole-of-life transformation, but he’s had his moment. Not even a trademark Jonathan Van Ness haircut could compare to finally getting “thick in the warm”.
While a whole episode dedicated to the Queer Eye cast doing their thing would obviously be the best case scenario, it’s far more likely to be a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo, a la ‘I’m Gay’. Not that I’d be complaining, a massive musical number filled with high notes and rainbows is nothing to be sneezed at.
All will be revealed when Season 3 of Big Mouth is released on Netflix on October 4.
