I'll admit, I was skeptical at first about a show that's "all about sex." Not in that I thought it would be bad, but I was worried it would be too much like Inside Amy Schumer, which also focuses very heavily on sex. Upon watching the first episode my doubts dissipated. I found the show to be really funny and not really like any other program (at least on comedy central). I particularly liked the bit, Tinder Tapout, where Glaser creates a profile of an attractive woman who is "the worst" and has increasingly uncomfortable conversation with a guy on tinder to see when (if ever) he "unmatches" her. The bits (which range from polygraphs of those she's close to to field reports at fetish meetups) are refreshing and very entertaining.
Overall, I really enjoy the show. It's definitely in my top 10 shows for comedy central (up there with South Park, Chappelle's Show, and Tosh.0). While it is still very early in the series, I'm sure she has a lot more in store for us.
At first glance you have a woman shoving her sexuality down your throat, but what I found in the end was a real frank discussion about sex these days. With religion playing a smaller part in our sexual lives and Internet promiscuity getting higher and higher every day, just being an active member in a sexual society these days can be intimidating, but Nikki Glaser teaches us to laugh at our own timidity. Laugh at the fact that you sweat so hard asking that girl out, laugh at the fact that you had a sexual thought about a member of the same sex, laugh about all the shame, anxiety, tension, and regret there is to be had when you put it on the line. This show is strong in all that it stands for. Sex is beautiful, intimate, passionate, dumb, gross, smelly, and complicated. Let's see what we can learn.
BASICALLY: this chicks fuuuuuuuuuny with her sexuality in a way that very few people can portray without being obnoxious. Yet she's still soooooooo GAWGEOUS.
I've only seen the first episode but I'm excited to keep watching.
This show is hilarious. The segments are so great, even if the people she interviews are 'fake', she creates great content and kept me laughing the whole time.
Do people really talk like this? I found it oddly disconcerting that three people on screen treated sex like it was on par with eating at a fast food chain. Yet, the surprising frankness at times caught me off guard and made me realize that we all have our hangups. At least the host seems to be totally at ease with her subject matter.
