Biography[]

Childhood[]

Jay Bilzerian was born to Jenna and Guy Bilzerian and was raised in a suburban house in Westchester, New York with his two older brothers, Val and Kurt. Jay has a rough life at his own house, with his father constantly cheating on his wife, his mom continuously drinking all the time, and his brothers being cruel at every turn. Jay has always had an interest in magic, idolizing David Copperfield and practicing magic himself.

Teenage Years[]

As a hormonally charged teenage boy, Jay goes to Bridgeton Middle School with his friends, Nick Birch, Andrew Glouberman, and Jessi Glaser.

In "Sleepover: A Harrowing Ordeal of Emotional Brutality", Nick and Andrew went to Jay's house for a sleepover and were horribly abused by his brothers, Val and Kurt, which helped them to truly understand the depths of his abusive life at home.

In "Pillow Talk", Jay had sex with his pillow, Pam, and supposedly got her pregnant with a baby pillow named Scorpion, only to find out after it was born, that the baby actually belonged to Kurt, revealing to him that Pam was unfaithful. Jay and Pam broke up and Pam left the house. Jay moved on to having sex with his bathmat.

In "The Head Push", Jay came to Leah's party with some Cotton Candy Brandy and started going out with Jessi.

In "The Pornscape", Jay and Jessi ran away together and rode off in the back of a farmer's truck. When they skipped town, they lived in a crappy old motel, where they made out and had fun but mostly argued.

In "Am I Normal?", Jay and Jessi broke up and came back home. When Jay came back, his parents were completely unaware that he was missing to begin with. Nevertheless, after he came home, he snuck a pillow named Suzette out of the motel and took her home with him so that he could continue to have sex with her and pursue a new relationship with her.

In "Steve the Virgin", Jay became friends with Coach Steve and gave him permission to be his "Gary" (sleep with his mom, while his dad was away), knowing that Steve was a pathetic virgin and that Jenna was the only woman who would want to have sex with his sorry self.

In "Smooch or Share", Jay played spin the bottle with the other kids and made out with Matthew. He found himself actually enjoying it and wanting to make out with him even more. This is the first moment in Jay's life when he started to realize he was bisexual.

In "Florida", Jay seems to think that the Birch House is where is actual home is where Jay seems to think that Elliot and Diane Birch are his parents and he goes to live with them for a while, as he doesn't have a great life in his own home. Nick is less than enthused to have Jay in his house.

In "Rankings", Jay comes out to the whole school as bisexual by entering Matthew Macdell's recording studio for the school news. This leads to Andrew Glouberman and Nick Birch to believe he came out to get attention.

In "The ASSes", Jay freaks out at Elliot and Diane for turning off Fortnite and leaves their house to go back to his own house.

In "The New Me", Jay started going out with Lola. The two were a match made in heaven because of how they both shared interests such as being disgusting, being stupid, and being quick to violence.

In "What Are You Gonna Do?", Jay breaks up with Lola due to her not saying "I love you" right after Jay said it to Lola in the previous episode. This leads Lola to threaten Jay that he is "so fucked next season", she keeps her word.

In "I Fucking Hate You", Jay loses his magic wand that let him do magic tricks due to him breaking the magicians code by showing Lola how he does a magic trick, which Lola spread around the school. After this he became extremely upset, as he was really into magic.

In "Sugarbush", after Matthew confesses to Jay in his room, the two become a couple.

In "Big Mouth's Going To High School" and "Graduation", Jay is revealed to be one of the worst students in Bridgeton Middle School as his grades are very poor, which almost kept him held back in middle school. While being able to graduate middle school, he is sent to summer school.

Future[]

Jay Bilzerian was seen in the year 2052 in the episode "Nick Starr", where he had become a post-apocalyptic warlord, who now lived in the wasteland that was the lower class community of Westchester. He worked alongside Lola, fighting off mutants and crazed hobos and making a living for themselves in the wreckage of The Birch House, where he had created a sex dungeon called "Sextopia". Jay also had a constant sexual relationship with Elliot, wherein he would tongue kiss him right in front of Diane without her even caring.

When Jay heard that Nick and Jessi had the last suppository pills to save them from the apocalypse, he and Lola killed everyone around them as they fought their way over to them to try and get the pills to save themselves with. However, Nick drove off in his car before Jay could stop him and told Jay to "fuck his mother and die", which was actually quite an excellent burn. Jay and Lola decided, "fuck it" and started having public sex, while the Earth burned down in flames. Just before the Earth was destroyed, Jay climaxed right into Lola's vagina as Lola told Jay that she thought they should break up.

Appearance[]

Jay is a 13-year-old Armenian-Greek (former part indicated, as his surname is Armenian; latter part confirmed in Season 4 Episode 10) tan-skinned boy with black spiky hair, brown eyes, big black eyebrows that almost form a unibrow, big ears, and a hooked nose. He has a slender physique--as of Season 7, he has developed abs, showing them off to Nick. He wears a white shirt under a black vest, purple pants and black/white sneakers.

Personality[]

Jay is a very sexually active individual who tries to engage in sexual relationships with girls and later on, also guys. He suffers from his inability to self-actualize and self-reflect often causing Jay to suffer inwardly from nervous tension and emotional insecurities which always leads to feelings of shame, guilt and sadness.

Although dedicated, Jay's love goes unrequited, which effects manifest themselves as being clingy once it's given to him. He struggles with finding and creating his own identity and occasionally seeks out attention from others to cope with bouts of loneliness and sadness.

Jay has a passion for magic and is a fan of tons of famous magicians such as David Copperfield and Chris Angel. He does magic tricks all the time to impress the ladies (and gentlemen), but he mostly does magic because he actually likes magic and it's one of his many passions.

Throughout the series, Jay has a very feeble admiration for his family which is put to the test multiple times in one of the episodes such as "Sleepover: A Harrowing Ordeal of Emotional Brutality" where Kurt Bilzerian and Val Bilzerian (Jay's older brothers) brutally abused/tortured him, which was not uncommon for his family. It's been shown that Jenna Bilzerian (Jay's mother) does not take good care of him as it is revealed that she does not actually feed him properly (as mentioned in "The Head Push"). Guy Bilzerian (Jay's father) is also horrible as Guy said that Jay was a disappointment to him because he did magic ("I Survived Jessi's Bat Mitzvah"). Due to his lack of parental love, he takes comfort in Elliot Birch and Diane Birch (Nick Birch's parents) as they love him very much and treat him more like a son than his own parents ever did. Starting with the episode "Florida", Jay left home and moved into The Birch House, where Elliot and Diane treated him with the exact kind of love and respect that his own family would never give to him and he was much happier there.

As seen in "The ASSes", Jay suffers from ADHD and some form of a severe mental illness where Jay is talking to inanimate objects and having "sex" with them, such as Pam (Jay's pillow), Brad (Jay's couch cushion), and even an old spaghetti. His mental and behavioral disorders exacerbate his emotional issues making it harder for Jay to love himself and accept who he is. He tries his best to do what's right and doesn't take pleasure in gratuitous violence.

Relationships[]

Friends[]

  • Nick Birch - Jay is good friends with Nick, albeit occasionally abusive. Despite being completely inexperienced and woefully uneducated when it comes to sex, Jay still acts as a self-confident mentor to Nick, becoming the source of misinformation to his friend. In "Sleepover: A Harrowing Ordeal of Emotional Brutality", Jay invited Nick and Andrew over to his house for a sleepover, where the two were mercilessly tortured by his brothers. Jay knew that his friends didn't deserve to suffer like that so he fought his brothers off, while he let them escape with their lives. Nick was surprisingly accepting of Jay coming out as bisexual in "Rankings", although at first, he thought he was only joking.
  • Andrew Glouberman - Jay's friendship with Andrew is a pretty similar case with Nick. He's a good guy but he just gets mad and doesn't know what he's talking about. In "Sleepover: A Harrowing Ordeal of Emotional Brutality", Jay grabbed Pilbo Baggins from Andrew and pissed him off, as he didn't want Jay fucking his pillow. Andrew was surprisingly accepting of Jay coming out as bisexual in "Rankings", though at first, he thought he was only joking.
  • Jessi Glaser - Jay is friends with Jessi but Jessi finds herself getting annoyed with Jay's stupidity and misogyny. Jessi sends sarcastic remarks Jay's way, which really pisses him off. As exemplified in, "Requiem for a Wet Dream", Jessi and Matthew constantly find enjoyment in watching Jay make an ass of himself. Jessi's buttons can really get pressed with Jay. In "Girls Are Horny Too", Jessi was so mad at Jay for hitting on her because of her new bra that she strangled him. Despite their differences, the two became a couple, starting with "The Head Push" and ending with "Am I Normal?".
  • Missy Foreman-Greenwald - Jay and Missy started off as just acquaintances with mutual friends but in "Obsessed", Jay and Missy bonded over Missy's Rock of Gibraltar fanfiction and became friends.
  • Matthew MacDell - Though not nearly to the same extent as Coach Steve, Prior to season 5, Matthew liked to tease Jay because of his stupidity and constantly laughed at him for his dumbness, as seen in "Requiem for a Wet Dream". In "Smooch or Share", Matthew and Jay kissed during a game of spin the bottle, then made out again in front of the bleachers. In the following season, Jay began his journey into discovering his sexuality.
  • Ali - In "Rankings", Ali consoled Jay, when he was down in the dumps about certain people not being accepting or understanding of his bisexuality. As a pansexual, Ali could relate and talked to him to help him get through it.
  • Coach Steve - In "The Shame Wizard", Coach Steve became friends with Jay, when Jenna was late for picking him up. Jay and Coach Steve played badminton together and became friends over magic tricks. Coach Steve was so happy to finally have an actual human friend for once. In "Steve the Virgin", Coach Steve fell in love with Jay's mom and wanted to have sex with her but was worried that he would lose Jay's friendship if he fucked his mom. Although Jay was highly disgusted by this and strongly opposed to this at first, he eventually decided that Coach Steve was a desperate virgin and he should be understanding of his friend's situation and let him plow his mom, just as long as he kept it a secret. In "Smooch or Share", Coach Steve spilled the beans about having sex with Jay's mom and Jay was pissed off at him for telling everyone. Coach Steve didn't even get mad back and just got mad at himself. After this little falling out, Jay got over it and decided to keep besties with Steve.
  • Diane Birch - In "Florida", Diane took Jay into the Birch House to live with the family, while he was kicked out of his own house. She treated Jay like an actual son and made him an unofficial member of the family, who slept in the attic for a few weeks. The main reason why Diane took such good care of Jay at this time was because she was pissed at Nick for something he did a few episodes back and wanted to take care of a better son for the time being. In "The ASSes", Jay got mad at Diane for unplugging his video game and left the house for good. In "Nick Starr", Future Jay moved back into The Birch House with Diane in the year 2052.
  • Elliot Birch - In "Florida", Elliot took Jay into the Birch House to live with the family, while he was kicked out of his own house. He treated Jay like an actual son and made him an unofficial member of the family, who slept in the attic for a few weeks. In "The ASSes", Jay got mad at Elliot for unplugging his video game and left the house for good. In "Nick Starr", Future Jay moved back into The Birch House with Elliot in the year 2052, and developed a sexual relationship with him.

Family[]

  • Guy Bilzerian - Guy is the neglectful and mildly abusive father of Jay, who is in seldom present in his life, mostly being off at work or in Guy Town, cheating on his wife. He considers Jay a disappointment because he practices magic, which he frowns upon for some reason. Despite this, Jay still looks up to him and takes after him in many ways, hoping to someday live up to expectations and please him only to be consistently rejected every single time.
  • Jenna Bilzerian - Jenna is the abusive mother of Jay, who is very bad at caring for her son as she doesn't feed him or give him proper sleeping arrangements. She even flat-out forgot to take him with the family, when they went on vacation in "Florida", keeping her son trapped in the house, while it was being defumigated, nearly killing him. When she was called up and alerted about her mistake, she didn't bother to come back and get him. In "Steve the Virgin", she served him alcohol, knowing he was only 13.
  • Val Bilzerian - Val and Kurt horribly abuse Jay on a daily basis.
  • Kurt Bilzerian - Kurt and Val horribly abuse Jay on a daily basis.
  • Featuring Ludacris -
  • Scorpion -

Love Interests[]

  • Pam - Jay used to have constant sex with his pillow, Pam until one day, in "Pillow Talk", Pam announced that she was pregnant. This freaked Jay out as he was only 13 and not ready to be a father. Pam got freaked out over his age because she previously thought he was 40, just like her. They debated what to do with the baby and Jay suggested she abort it but Pam insisted on keeping it. In the end, they had the baby and the baby, who Jay named "Scorpion", turned out to actually be the son of his brother, Kurt, who Pam had an affair with. Because she was untrue to him, Jay sent Pam off to take care of her baby on her own, since it wasn't really his. In "Am I Normal?", Jay just so happened to reunite with Pam and Scorpion, when he saw them in the back of a truck. They were actually pretty happy to see each other and Pam was doing just okay for herself. He wished her and Scorpion the best of luck and sent them on their ways.
  • Jessi Glaser - Jessi and Jay fell in love at a high school party, while drunk on cotton candy brandy in "The Head Push" and made out. They got sick of their respective family lives and ran away from home in "The Pornscape" but things weren't working out between the two of them so in "Am I Normal?", they broke up and returned to their homes. Jessi's parents were the only ones who even noticed she was gone in the first place.
  • Jay's Bathmat - After breaking up with Pam in "Pillow Talk", Jay felt sad and alone now that he no longer had any household objects to have sex with. This all changed when he went to the bathroom and greeted his talking bathmat, who filled in that void really quickly.
  • Brad and Suzette - Jay got into a polyamorous relationship with his couch cushion, Brad and a stolen motel pillow, Suzette. It started off with him cheating on both of them with each other but in "My Furry Valentine", he introduced them to each other and they started having constant three-ways.
  • Charles Lu - Shortly after coming out of the closet as a bisexual in "Rankings", Jay started hitting on Charles Lu but was rejected because he was straight. However, in "Lovebugs", Jay and Charles became good friends and before long, they became FWB, making out in private a bunch of times. Charles was still in the closet though and was in an actual romantic relationship with Gina Alvarez, as he wasn't ready to tell the world he was bisexual. In "The Green-Eyed Monster", Jay encouraged Charles to come out of the closet but he refused. In "I Fucking Hate You", Jay and Charles broke it off.
  • Matthew MacDell - In "Smooch or Share", Jay shared a kiss with Matthew during a game of spin the bottle and felt sparks but overall, they just considered each other to be friendly acquaintances at best. In "Lovebugs", Matthew fell in love with Jay and even dumped Aiden in favor of him. In "The Green-Eyed Monster", Matthew was green with envy to know that Jay was in love with Charles Lu and tried to break them up but to no avail. In "Sugarbush", Matthew took Jay under his wing, when he saw that he was down on his luck and confessed his feelings to him later. Jay was surprised to see that Matthew really liked him that way and decided he loved him back. In "Re-New Year's Eve", Jay took Matthew for a wild ride in his pants car, scaring the ever-loving shit out of him. Matthew decided that a relationship with Jay was just too crazy and dumped him only to later come crawling back at the New Year's Party and ask to be his boyfriend again, which Jay obliged to and they kissed each other at the turn of the new year.
  • Lola Skumpy - In "The New Me", Jay and Lola got into a romantic relationship with each other and to be honest, they actually made a very fitting couple, especially with Lola standing up for Jay by beating up his older brothers, when they tried to pee in his pool. In "Four Stories About Hand Stuff", Jay fingered Lola for the first time and Lola gave him the nickname, "King Finger". However, their relationship came to an end in "Horrority House", when Jay told Lola he loved her and she didn't say it back to him. In "What Are You Gonna Do?", Lola came back to tell Jay that she loved him but this was too late, as Jay had already moved on from her and started a relationship with his pillows, Brad and Suzette. Lola was so mad at Jay and swore that next season, she would ruin his life, which she succeeded in doing. Lola would torment and torture Jay all throughout that season up until "Best Friends Make the Best Lovers", when she apologized to him and they got back together again, only for her to break up with him in the very next episode, "I Fucking Hate You", after hearing he dated Charles Lu, during their time being broken up. Later in the same episode, Lola sent out a video of Jay revealing one of his magic tricks to her and showed him up in front of everybody. This included The Sorcerers of The Squaretable, who kicked him out of their group and banned him from magic forever, pretty much ruining his life. In "Sugarbush", Lola saw how bad the messed up him up and felt regret, now believing she took her revenge too far. In "Re-New Year's Eve", Lola came to Jay at the New Year's Party and apologized for her ways and asked to be his girlfriend again but Jay rejected her in favor of Matthew MacDell. Lola got pissed off and left the party in anger but unfortunately for her, there wasn't anything she could do about it.
