I'm old and grumpy and I thought a few of her specials I've seen on Netflix were pretty good.

I do agree though that if she weren't attractive, she wouldn't be getting the amount of work that she does.

Her last special was ENTIRELY about getting married. WGAF?

Millennial women, her target audience.

Just finished watching the new Netflix special with The Rib, it was hilarious.

I haven't laughed that hard in some time. But, let me qualify this to say that,

I've got two twenty something daughters. I'm married to a woman and, I still party reasonably hard for someone who is almost 50.

I'm also well read enough to not be scared off by some of the word choices she makes.

I highly recommend the new special.

Yawn to female comics. They must feel that they have all be ****s and filthy mouthed to be funny. It's not funny. You don't have to cuss all the time to be funny. **** it gets annoying.

Don't even understand this comment. And ultimately its not the vulgarity that's the problem. The problem, as someone else succinctly pointed out earlier, is that her whole act is to make lame, hacky comments in a weird voice as if that makes them funny.

Let's just say that after seeing many comics whose schtick is on par with fart jokes, it's refreshing to see a comedian who will stick a few words in there to accentuate a point where you're like - ouch, she just took my brain in a totally different direction and I had to actually know some vocabulary that was several levels above bathroom humor.

Her voices were pretty appropritate and if you've spent as much time as I have around young ladies/young women/millenials/Gen Z, her voices were dead on. To include, I loved the little thumb typing fake tweet comments that she would inject as reactions after making a joke that would be uncomfortable for the aforementioned posse.

You might not be the target demo(graphic) but, her stuff is pretty damn funny. I've you've got a wife, I recommend trying a little sample with her.

Which reminds me, her bit about "the metric" system and ordering in a foreign language just happened to me at a work dinner a couple months ago with a guy from Hong Kong. He had only eaten steak ordered in ounces before and couldn't do the conversion from 220g steak into oz. He had to ask me to convert it for him because he knew I spoke American.

Eh, yeah, you're right, I'm not her target demo, and to be fair I haven't tried her new special because her other ones did absolutely nothing for me. She's clearly pushing the right buttons for a lot of people, just not my type of humor.

I've heard of a lot of comedians working these days, haven't necessarily seen all of their acts. Favorite recent ones that I've enjoyed are Chapelle's special's, Mulaney, Jeselnik, Burr, and Kreischer.

as a chick that's basically the same age as her, I find it absolutely hilarious. It is very much relatable for my demographic.

she isn't super dirty, certainly not any dirtier than most male comics. She curses..but most comics do.

the voices can be a bit overwhelming but overall she is hilarious and super relatable... but watching her Instagram.. it really seems like that's pretty much the way she always is.

I just watched Elder Millennial and Unveiled back to back.

I'm shocked people dislike it that much, but I guess most of you are older guys, that makes sense.

My wife and I both thought Nikki Glaser was funny. We started iliza's special and stopped about half way in. It just wasn't funny. Her "jokes" were just her telling unfunny stories but using dumb voices. I think someone made the comparison to Dane Cook and that seems pretty fair.

She was good playing the girlfriend to Mark Wahlberg in Netflix's Spenser Confidential.

Saw she was in that but didn't watch yet. She was ok in "instant family" (another wahlberg vehicle, I wonder if he's a fan)

I liked it! I think her "guy voice" is funny.
