| ||
Judd Birch is a supporting character in Big Mouth. He is the first son of Elliot Birch and Diane Birch and the older brother of Leah Birch and Nick Birch.
Biography[]
Childhood[]
In "The Planned Parenthood Show", a flashback showed Judd when he was just a toddler. Judd proved to be a troubled child, from the very start, as he was seen lighting Leah Birch's ponytail on fire. He also seemed to have a missing tooth in that flashback.
Current Life[]
Judd is a horribly behaved delinquent who disobeys his parents, uses drugs and alcohol, breaks the rules at school, and he even gets into trouble with the police. Judd is known for his crimes of pyromania, theft, vandalism and supplying alcohol to underage teens for Leah Birch's High School Party in "The Head Push".
In "Ejaculation", Judd was shown eating dinner at the table with his family and Andrew Glouberman, who was visiting at the time.
In "Am I Gay?", Judd coldly refused to tell his father anything about how his day went and Elliot happily enjoyed his son's mysterious tone. When Nick Birch announced that he and his girlfriend were just friends now, Judd laughed at Nick for getting dumped. Judd also tried convincing Nick to commit suicide, via immolation.
In "The Head Push", Leah throws a party for her theater group and high school friends while Elliot and Diane Birch go out on a double date with Marty Glouberman and Barbara Glouberman. Judd brought wine for the party and after threatening to kill Nick while also calling him a few homophobic and ablest slurs, he took a bottle of Jack Daniel’s for himself and went off to go hide in the house's attic and crawl space for the remainder of the party. During this time, Judd was secretly spying on Nick through a series of vents and cleverly placed holes, just so that he could freak him out. When he saw that Nick was hitting it off with Tallulah Levine, he wanted to help his brother get laid by giving him some healthy advice on how to ask out a girl. He also brought up how she's been nicknamed "The Blowjob Machine" at school for supposedly giving all of her boyfriends fellatio. However, Nick made the mistake of bringing this up, while asking her out, which got her pissed off at him because of how she was so sick of these false rumors, started by her ex-boyfriend, Daniel. At the end of the episode, Judd slashed the tires of every single guest at the party, which inadvertently inconvenienced Daniel. Although this technically wasn't intentional, Leah still considered this a very kind gesture of him to piss of her misogynistic ex like that.
In "I Survived Jessi's Bat Mitzvah", Judd and Leah were grounded for throwing their party in the previous episode. On the other hand, Nick was let off the hook because he was younger and Judd was pissed off about Nick getting off easy.
In "Am I Normal?", Judd was in the audience of Nick's basketball game, but he clearly did not care about him.
In "What Is It About Boobs?", Elliot retold the story of a time when Judd ran away from home for a while, but he eventually returned. Judd posed the question, of how does he know that he is the original Judd, suggesting that after Judd ran away, he left forever and he is actually just an impostor replacing him. Elliot told Judd that he believes he's the same Judd that ran away but even if he was an impostor, he'd love him even more.
In "The Planned Parenthood Show", Judd appeared in the story, "Blue Waffle", where he tried to chainsaw Andrew's dick off to cure him of blue waffle, only for Maury to kill him by cutting him in half with a dick sword. Judd, along with all the other murdered people, later came back as a zombie to chase after Andrew and kill him.
In "Drug Buddies", Judd trained a battalion of raccoons but pushed them too far, getting him scratched and sent to the hospital. Judd saw Nick at the hospital, high from the weed he'd smoked and knew he was in trouble. He decided to help him get home while also sobering him up (aka driving his car at 100 mph with the windows rolled down.) When he got him home, he covered his tracks by telling his parents that Nick sneezed in a wasp's nest. After this act of kindness, Judd locked Nick in his room and summoned his battalion to raccoons to maul him.
In "The Department of Puberty", Judd called Nick and Andrew "fucking shitheads" and Elliot laughed and complimented Judd for his "wisdom".
In "My Furry Valentine", Judd had his raccoons working as his servants as he spent Valentine's Day in the attic with his girlfriend and he had his raccoons doing work for him, such as serving them food, playing the violin, grinding pepper and lighting the candles to set the atmosphere. On their date, Judd told his girlfriend that he planned on summoning the raccoons to attack his brother later.
In "How To Have An Orgasm", Judd becomes the love interest of Jessi Glaser after she sees him robbing a liquor store. Her attraction for him is so strong that her vagina began to tingle and get wet for him. At home, Jessi would fantasize about him and rub herself off while imagining Judd saving her life from snakes in the jungle and taking charge as he whisks her off to a land of love and romance. In contrast, Judd didn't even give Jessi a second thought and really didn't even acknowledge her existence again until "Rankings" when Jessi worked up the courage to ask him out. Judd looked at her funny and told her that she was way too young for him and he saw her as nothing more than just "Nick's friend". Jessi was pretty disappointed, but given that Judd was nothing more than a silly crush, she moved on pretty quickly.
In "Epididymitis", Nick who was physically aggressive after Jay Bilzerian recommended a product for him to be stronger was being very rude in the table as a result. As Nick threatened to eat the chicken, Judd threatened Nick to put it down to which Nick provocatively walks to Judd to confront him, but Judd knocks Nick out.
In "Day Tripping", Nick and Andrew sneak in the back of Judd's car to follow him to Brooklyn to get drugs to become as cool as him. Judd is seen enjoying time with a young boy named Melon Ball, whose mother is the source for Judd getting mushrooms. Nick becomes jealous seeing Judd spending time with another child, wishing Judd would hang out with him instead. When Andrew farts, Judd recognizes the smell and finds out Nick and Andrew followed him. However, Judd tells Nick he thinks of him as a "whiny little bitch", hence their stern (but mostly negative) relationship. However, as the episode was coming to a close, Judd was worried Nick, who was being confronted by their mother of using drugs, would tell his mother his secret. Nick covers up for Judd, to which Judd sends Nick a text message thanking him.
Future[]
In the future, Judd will become the leader of a cult called "Juddstown", wherein the only known followers are his team of raccoons, as seen briefly in "Nick Starr". In the year 2052, Judd, along with everyone else on Earth will die in the apocalypse.
Appearance[]
Judd is a tall, lean and muscular young man (latter part shown in "No Nut November") with dyed black hair (which is naturally brown) that is shaved along the sides and back (with blue-dyed edges), dirty-green eyes, a long hooked nose (similar to Caleb Linden's), big pink lips and he always speaks in a growling monotone voice.
His most common seen outfit consists of a dark grey t-shirt, black pants with the legs rolled up some, a pair of white high-top Converse and a single red bracelet he wears on his right wrist.
Personality[]
Judd is known for having a dark outlook on life who matches the goth stereotype. He does not like to spend time or socialize with anyone; he prefers to do whatever he does alone. He is pretty negative and does not like to specify much about himself. Judd is a self-described "agent of chaos", as mentioned in "Obsessed". He desires destruction and wants madness and disarray to plague the world for really no reason at all. He fashions himself as an anti-establishment insurgent, spray-painting anarchist symbols around the neighborhood and having written at least one political manifesto.
Judd takes enjoyment from torturing his little brother, Nick Birch. He enjoys putting him down and insulting him and whenever he sees his brother in misery, he gets a good laugh and prompts him to kill himself. Judd also likes to attack his brother and put him through pain just for fun.
In "Drug Buddies", Judd trained a battalion of raccoons to attack his little brother. In "My Furry Valentine", we saw that he made good use of his raccoons and had them do other things, such as serve him and cater to him, on his date with his girlfriend. These raccoons were more than just one-off jokes and would occasionally accompany him, throughout the rest of the series, assisting him in his other endeavors, such as causing crimes and serving him. In "Nick Starr", it was seen that these raccoons are trained to see Judd as some kind of religious idol, explaining their dedication to him.
Relationships[]
Family[]
- Elliot Birch - Judd is a rebellious teenager who shows his father little to no respect. Despite this, Elliot still love his son deeply. In "Am I Gay?", Elliot asked Judd about his day and Judd gave him the cold shoulder. Instead of getting upset, Elliot just told Judd that he loved his mysterious nature. In "What Is It About Boobs?", Elliot reminisced about that wonderful time Judd ran away from home and eventually came back. Judd asked his father if he was sure he was the original Judd and not a fake. Elliot said that if he really was an impostor, he'd love him even more.
- Diane Birch - Judd is a rebellious teenager who shows his mother little to no respect. Unlike with Elliot Birch, Diane actually plays bad cop with Judd and when she sees that he's done something wrong, she punishes him. In "I Survived Jessi's Bat Mitzvah", Diane grounded Judd for throwing a wild party while she was away in "The Head Push".
- Nick Birch - Judd is a very abusive older brother who enjoys bullying Nick by mocking him for the size of his small penis, calling him a vulgar name and training his army of raccoons to attack him. In "Am I Gay?", he laughed at Nick after being dumped by Jessi Glaser. In "The Head Push", Judd told Nick "I don't hate you, you're my brother", although it is unknown if Judd was being sarcastic to Nick about loving him and may have said it knowing his younger brother is gullible to trust him. In "Drug Buddies", Judd helped Nick get home after he and Jessi used edibles to get high. As the episode was coming to a close, Judd summoned his raccoons in the middle of the night and maul him as he locked him inside.
- Leah Birch - Judd gets along with Leah the best out of all his family members as they're both generally in the same boat of teenage rebellion, although Leah is arguably way less "rebellious" than Judd. In "The Head Push", the two worked together to throw a party while their parents were away and Judd also helped Leah by slashing the tires of her misogynistic ex-boyfriend. However, Judd said that he was just slashing everyone's tires for fun and didn't actually intend to help her. Nonetheless, Leah still considered this a kind gesture from her brother. He also insults her the least (along with Diane.)
Friends[]
- Raccoons - Ever since he first trained them in "Drug Buddies", Judd has had a dedicated nursery of trained raccoons, working for him and tending to his every need. Although he initially just trained them to attack his brother, he realized they served so much other purposes, such as serving him food, getting him dressed in the morning like a Disney princess and assisting him in committing crimes, so he kept them around. In "Nick Starr", the raccoons joined a cult called "Juddstown", in which he was the leader. Apparently, Judd is seen as somewhat of a religious figure to the raccoons, which explains their undying respect and dedication to him.
Love Interests[]
- Judd's Ex-Girlfriend - In "My Furry Valentine", Judd was on a date with an unnamed but equally troubled and punk-gothic girlfriend. The two of them say in the attic and talked about the crimes they like to commit and the other horrible things they like to do.
- Cass - Cass is Judd's new girlfriend. Though their interaction is very small, it is assumed that her and Judd get along. She also appears to be punk/emo/goth like him.
Others[]
- Jessi Glaser - Jessi has a massive crush on Judd, even though he brutally rejected her in "Rankings", which indicates that he doesn't have romantic feelings for her and didn't consider her feelings when he rejected her. Despite this rude rejection, Jessi still harbors a secret crush on him.
- Tallulah Levine - Judd is acquaintances with Tallulah at Bridgeton High School, but he really doesn't know much about her other than the false rumors that circumvent the school, that suggest she gives people blowjobs. As such, Judd is one of the many people at the school who refer to her as the nickname, "Tallulah Levine, the Blowjob Machine".
