You Are Reading :Big Mouth 6 Times We Felt Bad For Jay (& 5 Times We Hated Him)

Jay Bilzerian; easily one of the most underestimated and misunderstood characters of the series. Yes, he does act like a total jerk at times. But most of his behavior he seems to have learned from his highly dysfunctional family. And there are certainly times where we’ve found ourselves feeling bad for the poor guy.

Jay is a perfect example of toxic masculinity at times. But he’s also could become the poster child for abuse and neglect. After all, when was the last time you saw his parents…well, actually parenting? We’re going to guess the answer is never.With that complexity in mind, here are 6 times we’ve felt bad for Jay’s character…and 5 times we’ve hated him.

This article contains spoilers for Big Mouth Season 3, so consider yourself warned.

11 Time We Felt Bad: When His Friends Were Busy Making Fun of Him

You see, Jay isn’t exactly the type of person to understand when somebody is giving him an underhanded compliment. Or when he’s being mocked by his friends. So naturally, he was completely unaware of their treatment towards him.

10 Time We Hated Him: Every Time He Quoted His Father’s Commercials

And that is why we really hate it when Jay quotes his father’s horrid commercials. If that wasn’t bad enough, the fact that Jay would cite them like they were rules to live by is…painful to put it mildly.

9 Time We Felt Bad: His Idea of Food

Jay’s family has never been the type to provide for him. And that includes making sure he’s eating a healthy and balanced diet. So spending time at the Birches is really a wonderful (and presumably healthy) experience for the poor kid.

8 Time We Hated Him: The Way He Treats the Girls

In the earlier seasons, in particular, Jay hadn’t yet started growing as a person. And thus some of the things he said were especially awful. Though Season 3 was a reminder of how much father he has to go; his comments during the girls’ protests were worthy of a slap or two.

7 Time We Felt Bad: Home Alone

But that’s not the only reason why we felt bad about this situation. For one thing, his parents didn’t seem to care about the situation. For another, Jay didn’t have a house full of food, or his father’s credit card to run around with. And finally, Jay just didn’t deserve this. No kid does.

6 Time We Hated Him: His Toxic Masculinity

Thanks to this behavior, sometimes we really just can’t stand the things that come out of Jay’s mouth. He’s a pretty classic example of the stereotype on more than one occasion. We’re hoping this is something he’ll get better about with time. We’re rooting for you, Jay!

5 Time We Felt Bad: Every Time We See His Brothers

We’ve seen the way they treat Jay; the verbal and physical abuse, the egging bad behaviors on, and the bulling of his friends. And we’re left wondering how these two haven’t ended up in some sort of juvie program yet. Oh right, their dad is a lawyer.

4 Time We Hated Him: When He Sold His Meds

And then Jay just turned around and started selling his medication to the rest of the school. Not only was this pretty horrible for the students, but it was a slap in the face for everything the Birches had done for him up until this point. And it was short-sighted as well, for a lot of obvious reasons.

3 Time We Felt Bad: When Nick’s Parents Had to Step Up

And we adore that they opted to keep him on, even after his family came home. There’s got to be plenty of fans out there that had been rooting for an adoption or something more permanent, right? Because Jay could use a family like theirs.

2 Time We Hated Him: When He Chose His Brothers Over The Birches

That is until Jay started selling drugs. Apparently that was all it took to gain respect from his family. We probably don’t need to delve into all of the horrible things about that entire situation.

1 Time We Felt Bad: When He Was Made to Feel Excluded

amount of adoration as she was. But instead, Jay was met with ridicule and pessimism.It turns out, most of his classmates didn’t believe him, or just didn’t care. And those the one pansexual character heavily implied that he didn’t have a right to feel that way, since he was just bi. It wasn’t the support Jay needed, and it left a sour taste in our mouths.
