Nikki Glaser: Impecavelmente Obscena

This is exactly what I expected from Nikki Glaser and it is very funny. This is dirty and cringe worthy at some point but she does a great job of engaging the audience and making the time fly by. The visuals and Direction are are outstanding for a one person stand up special.

This special seems to focus more on trying to create some "shock value" via adult-oriented content than any actual laughter from an audience. Occasionally she MAY throw a final sentence after a 5 minute diatribe to try and elicit a laugh, but it's clearly an afterthought.

There's really not a great deal of humor in this special. I've seen her do MUCH MUCH funnier shows.

It's as if she specifically picked 5-6 topics that would be very adult oriented and which may make some audiences uncomfortable. I get that.. art is supposed to elicit a response.. in this case, it seems the response desired was an uneasy feeling, not laughter. Sure people may chuckle oddly when uncomfortable, but that's a far cry different than laughing because something is humorous.

I mean, what sane person thinks oral sex with their parents is funny??? And why on Earth would ANY comedian write a bit based upon that premise simply so they could throw in a bad pun in 4 words at the end??? Really? Come on, Nikki. Do better. Are you going to do a 10 minute bit about beastiality next so you can merely throw in "it was doggone good" at the end???

Merely working "blue" for the sake of working blue is pointless .. ya have to write JOKES, not just say words associated anatomy and sex. Why Nikki thinks it's her job to teach everyone about anal sex (without jokes) is a mystery to me.

I honesty think at this point, she's painting herself into a corner... she got a bit better "known" for being open about liking anal sex... mostly due to that 1/2 hr show she had... that causes some people to perceive her as a dirty comedian... so she's banking on that carrying her further. If this special is any indicator, it's not going to.

Oh, and using the pink microphone so it simulates a male appendage.. yeah .. I spotted that as well. Cheap tricks if ya ain't got jokes...

Write a clean hour Nikki.... prove you know how to write jokes.. not just say "vagina" repeatedly.

Maybe I just didn't "get" this one. I wasn't offended or put off by any of the content.... I just didn't see any real laughs to be had.

Nikki is very talented. Much more talented than this special.

Have been seeing her in clubs for over a decade. But she really, really, really needs to drop all this sex stuff. It's simply does not reflect her full talent. And it's going to be hugely limiting for her in the long run.

Hopefully, this special will define the apex of her all-sex topics and she'll move onto broader material.

The dirtiest stand-up since Andrew Dice Clay. We laughed very hard. Gross? Sure. Funny. Definitely. One bad political joke and lots of vagina stuff. Watch this.

I am not even gonna waste time by pointing out that if you're shocked or disgusted by Nikki's routine you can easily move along to something better suited to your taste.

That said, I found this special pleasing. Considering past two years I found it comforting watching Nikki in her familiar territory doing her classic type of material. This was a great start after the hiatus and I am glad we got to enjoy Nikki making fun of her/our 'public parts' one more time.
