This is one of the few shows that still makes me laugh out loud regularly. While I can sit through Trevor Noah's Daily Show with not even a chuckle, Nikki can actually make me guffaw. I see some people complaining that she's talking about sex- that's just who Nikki is. It's what she talks about. Sometimes, you go with what you're good at, and I'm glad she did! Some of the scenes are uncomfortable to sit through, but they're SUPPOSED to be (like the lie detector test segments). This show definitely pushes the envelope, ESPECIALLY for comedy central. The guests are funny, the vignettes are well done, and it doesn't feel like a re-hash of everything else. Nikki puts herself in the hot-seat quite often, and embarrasses herself while making us laugh- watch the foot episode and you'll see what I mean! The first few episodes I was unsure, but six in, and not only am I hooked, but I felt the show deserved a proper review, not one by some uptight windbag giving the show a completely undeserved ONE STAR? If you like FUNNY, check this show out. If you like your humor crass and a bit on the edgy side, you, like me, will probably laugh your socks off. Pro-tip, check out the comedy central page for some uncensored video clips from the shows, it has some of the funnier ones (my recommendations- the lie detectors and the photo-shoot). Form your own opinion :D

Watch any Not Safe youtube video, and tell me you didn't at least crack a smile.
I particularly enjoyed the lie detector episode, find Nikki's boyfriend a new girlfriend, and the Tinder panels.
The comedians feeding over the top cheesy lines to porn stars while in the act was just original. That skit was so well done.
Not Safe was risqué, yet its delivery was textbook comedy. Nikki was all enthusiastic to "go there," and yeah some bits were predictable, but she was never low class about it.
This has a niche audience, for sure. If you like local comedy, or if you are as not right in the bed like me and think this is a positive not a negative, you'll like it. If you're margaret thatcher or orrin hatch, maybe not. Although I would love to hear Nikki describe her secret fantasy of those two getting it on.....

For the people who complained about this show - look at the title: "NOT SAFE"...
This show is/was hysterical and touched on some sensitive topics; here's an idea just turn the channel next time and/or don't watch. Go be puritanical some where else.

Nikki Glaser is one of those people you see on TV and find yourself asking, "isn't she that woman who...no, wait...that was someone else..." Reason being, her show and brand of "humor" has become so cloyingly formulaic that she simply represents an amalgamation of any number of aspiring comedians who try to make up in shock-value what they lack in substance. The only problem is it's already been done before (over and over) so it's really not even shocking anymore...just creepy.I'm not sure who is responsible for giving her this "break", but per the formula Comedy Central is hedging its bets each episode by including semi-recognizable characters to pick up the slack in Nikki's routine (hint: there's a LOT of slack). Just bad.
