Burn Marks — Nikki Glaser Is Hot

It’s amazing how few people read this blog. And even more surreal is when people do read it, it’s not for my biting political commentary but for dumb pop culture observations.

Anyway, I find myself digging comedian Nikki Glaser these days. She reminds me of this one young lady I ran into who was the master of the sick burn. You would be standing there, having a normal conversation with her and then she would say something that left a third-degree burn. It was really hot.

I say this knowing, of course, that what is hot while you’re dating someone could grow extremely tiresome if you were in a relationship with them. That’s just human nature.

One thing about Ms. Glaser is she’s far more accessible than Amy Schumer. Ms. Schumer has, of course, redefined the world of comedy for women and, yet, she’s still rather off-putting. She’s just not, at least to me, very funny. There’s a harshness to her comedy that is a turn off.

Ms. Glaser, meanwhile, is really funny to me. She’s the perfect mix of beauty and wit. It’s interesting than as far as I know she’s not been in any major movies. I’m too lazy to check IMDB.

I wish Ms. Glaser well. I look forward to seeing her on the silver screen.

Something About Nikki Glaser Is Endearing

I’ve seen comic Nikki Glaser on Conan’s show several times recently and found her a delight. A lot of female comics seem to be trying way too hard. But something about her brashness is refreshing.

While I definitely think women are funny, they often have a very different type of humor than male comics. A prime example of this is Eva Victor. Victor is rather gentle in her very funny humor. It might benefit her to get some advice from Tina Fey as to how to be a bit more biting. It’s often tough for women to talk about the same things as men in the same way. I think that’s what set Glaser apart — she’s pretty much a male comic who happens to be female.

In a sense, the person I would compare her to is Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Waller-Bridge seems like she would do well doing stand-up should the mood strike her. Both women can cut you with a choice word.

What’s interest is Amy Schumer is Glaser’s contemporary and yet I just don’t find her very funny. Both women inhabit the approximately the same mindspace. I just like Glaser as a person more. Glaser seems like she would be fun to hang out with, while Schumer can come off as rather grating.

Anyway. What do I know.
