After determining which of the contestants on FBOY Island were in fact “FBOYs,” Nikki Glaser returns to her first love: Talking about her vagina on stage for laughs. It’s an act that she’s found remarkable and sustained success—with good reason, she’s one of the best to do it. Glaser’s new special, Good Clean Filth is coming to HBO Max this summer. And, sure, the trailer Good Clean Filth may not promise a maturing Nikki Glaser. But what it does promise is laughs. Well, assuming you find jokes about baby talk in bed funny.

When the special was announced last year, Glaser took the opportunity to fire some shots at Dave Chappelle. In a statement, she teased:

It’s so cool to finally work with HBO, the birthplace of the comedy special, on my third hour-long special. My material will mostly consist of my novel comedic takes on the trans-rights movement, just kidding, it’s mainly about sex, dating, and my vagina, because it’s been said by smart men on Reddit that those are the only things female comics discuss, so I’d be a foolish little girl to try to tackle anything else. I’m pumped!

Despite being a veteran of the stage at this point, this is Glaser’s first HBO special. Her previous ones, Perfect and Bangin, were released by Comedy Central and Netflix, respectively.

A staple of late-night shows, panel shows, and everything in between, Nikki Glaser’s hosting jobs increased 200% in the last few years. With the success of FBOY Island on HBO Max and One Night With Nikki Glaser on E!, the comedian has turned crude jokes about pooping your pants into near-constant TV appearances, for which we are grateful.

Good Clean Filth hits HBO and HBO Max on July 16.

    “Despite being a veteran of the stage at this point, this is Glaser’s first HBO special.”

    Yeah, isn’t that odd? HBO mostly gives specials to unknowns. My favourite was the Frank from Accounting’s first hour.

    The A.V. Club is a parody of itself. 

    • popsfreshenmeyer-av says:

      Sometimes. 

    • greatgodglycon-av says:

      In regards to what? I may agree with you, but I’d like to know why I am agreeing with you.

    • kinjacaffeinespider-av says:

      Parody would be a step up.
      The A.V. Club is lazy, poorly researched, poorly written and clogged with so many ads it’s nearly impossible to concentrate. I can’t even look at it on my phone because it crashes every 3 seconds.

    ‘It’s an act that she’s found remarkable and sustained success’Volunteer Proofreader, direct your lack of approbation appropriately.

    • dirtside-av says:

      Your comment needs more words that start with “appro” in it.

        i’ve apprised myself of your situation, appraised your stylings, appropriated a few cultures, developed a few apps, appeased ZERO FUCKING GODS, applied myself to working through my anger issues, appended a few notes to my personal diary, appliqued some shit on … some other shit … and appnope, i’m all out. good enough?

    • callmeshoebox-av says:

      Haven’t seen them around much. I have to wonder if AVC finally broke them. 

    • volunteerproofreader-av says:

      BLLLEAAARRRGHHHH

  • mwcool-av says:

    She says what nobody’s thinking.

  • ohnoray-av says:

    My material will mostly consist of my novel comedic takes on the trans-rights movementlol this feels like just as much as zinger directed to netflix as it is to Chapelle.

    • Keego94-av says:

      “Zinger”. Sure.That’s like a gnat biting a cow. Can’t even feel it.

      • ohnoray-av says:

        ok girly. you some tough meat.

      • necgray-av says:

        What’s funny about stupid fanboi shit like this is that according to Chappelle’s own standards for People Who Matter (aka Comedians), Glaser is 1000X more his “people” than any of his ass-licking hangers-on. White knight him all you like, he doesn’t need it AND if he had the courage of his stupid convictions he’d throw you under a bus for Glaser in a heartbeat.

        • laserfacelvr-av says:

          You never shut up huh? It’s like you feel the need to be saying dumb, sanctimonious shit constantly 

        • Keego94-av says:

          What’s funny about internet weirdos, like yourself, and good ‘ol ohnoray or even recognitions, is that anytime anyone here (and probably in your real lives, which this is decidedly NOT btw, it’s the fucking internet) decides to even possibly, remotely, disagree with any of you, even in the most gentle of fashions, as I did above, they are then labeled a fanboy, misogynist, homophobe, transphobe or any of the other menagerie of insults you all can muster. Pot, meet kettle. It’s fucking absurd. Just like last week or whenever and the Jerrod Carmichael article. Who tf is Jerrod C. or even Nikki G. as compared to Dave Chappelle or in this specific case Netflix? They are “less than” in terms of entertainment, cache and most importantly, to Netflix or any other business, earning potential or straight dollars invested or coming in. It’s all business. Realize it and grow tf up.

          • necgray-av says:

            You’re really proving my point with your self-substitute “Do you know who I am?!?” response. Glaser is a veteran stand-up. Carmichael is a popular up and comer. If all you have to talk about is box office receipts, you might as well worship the ground that the Blue Collar Comedy guys or Jeff Dunham or fucking Carrot Top walk on.Your post was not “gentle disagreement”. It was an aggressively dismissive snark from a clear fanboi.

          • Keego94-av says:

            Ok sweetheart. If you haven’t fucked yourself today, the time has come.

          • necgray-av says:

            Sure thing, darling.If you can stop rimming your cardboard Chapelle standee long enough, go ahead and take your own advice.

      • galdarn-av says:

        What, exactly, do you think a zinger is SUPPOSED to do?

    • Rev2-av says:

      Heaven forbid women comedians speak out about men appropriating being a woman like cosplay. Time to get yourself a helmet, women tend to speak up when their rights are being trampled on.

  • unfromcool-av says:

    Glaser: “just kidding, it’s mainly about sex, dating, and my vagina, because it’s been said by smart men on Reddit that those are the only things female comics discuss”
    Nikki, I love you, but: that really is most of your material. Judging from the trailer at least she acknowledges this and is maybe tired of it (I could understand that it’s almost expected of her at this point) but like that kinda is her whole “hastily packed suitcase”. I’m excited to see what else she’s got, though! May check this one out.

  • zwing-av says:

    I love Nikki but she’s also one of the few comics whose insecurities legitimately make me sad.

    • jab66-av says:

      I know. I guess it shows how things stick with you. Yes, I’m a six-foot-tall blond goddess with a successful entertainment career, but in fourth grade everyone thought my sister was the pretty one, so I guess I’m a garbage person who deserves abuse, degradation and humiliation.

    • the-notorious-joe-av says:

      Glaser is legit the best part of every Comedy Special Roast she’s ever been on. HFS, she always *kills* it.

    • waystarroyco-av says:

      I actually do feel sad. Like…poor thing….Her vagina I mean

    • kinjaissuchaheadache-av says:

      I stumbled across her morning show on Sirius and became a regular listener.  As the months wore on I couldn’t help notice the pattern of the increasing intensity of two things: her self-involved narcissism (probably unavoidable when hosting a daily radio show where you mostly talk about yourself) and her insecurities/low self-esteem. 

      • zwing-av says:

        I’d also say that anxiety can often manifest as self-involvement, since you legitimately can’t get out of your own head and it convinces you that what’s going on there is always of critical importance. 

        • maulkeating-av says:

          People with actual anxiety don’t become standup comics and host radio shows.

          • Fleur-de-lit-av says:

            Nah.  Tons of stand-ups have crippling social anxiety but feel completely at ease on stage.  It’s a control thing.  They have the mic.

          • zwing-av says:

            A huge percentage of comics have actual anxiety, and a number of other disorders. Bo Burnham gets panic attacks, Bill Hader anxiety attacks, Conan and Maron have talked endlessly about their anxiety, Taylor Tomlinson just had a routine based around her bipolar diagnosis. I can’t imagine there are many comics who don’t have some form of anxiety/depression/psychoemotional problem from which they plumb comedy. What a strange comment. 

  • jodrohnson-av says:

    saw her on tour which im assuming is where she worked most of this material. it was pretty good. 

  • breadnmaters-av says:

    Men, especially male comics, never talk about sex.

    • kinjacaffeinespider-av says:

      That’s because there’s nothing funny about it.

      • christopherhillen-av says:

        I thought the bit in the trailer for her special where she says of course a bunch of 20 somethings are expressing a desire the one part of a 40+ year old woman that they cannot see was pretty darn funny. I also chuckled at the bit where she is like no one in their 20s is going to say, oh Nikki, check it out, she is 23 right, but she has an old pussy, that did make me lol! I rarely watch comedy specials but if I need something to watch in the background as I goof on my tablet I could do worse than putting this special on.

      • Rev2-av says:

        Your dates haven’t been very honest with you, eh?

      • waystarroyco-av says:

        That’s cause they aren’t getting it

    • unfromcool-av says:

      They do, and it’s weird! I watched a Netflix is a Joke thing with Ron Funches where he talked about getting a blowjob, and it was weird, because it’s Ron Funches, a cartoon character come to life.

      • mykinjaa-av says:

        Alright and now imagine Ron Funches voice as he’s “Oh, oh, ohing”.
        The only time a BJ spit take is functional and entertaining.

      • wakemein2024-av says:

        Patton Oswalt has that bit that starts with “So I was fucking this chick..what?..I’m on TV, I get pussy”

  • rigbyriordan-av says:

    Beautiful and funny as shit. She’s like the perfect woman. My God — if she’s totally into sports she’s the ultimate dream. 

  • slurmsmckenzie-av says:

    Stand up specials always have the worst titles.

    • necgray-av says:

      Oh, I dunno. I quite like Whiskey Icarus. And I Liked His Old Stuff Better. And Trampoline in a Ditch.Okay, I just really love Kyle Kinane.

      • slurmsmckenzie-av says:

        Oh yeah Kinane is great and his titles reflect that. I should say MOST standup specials have horrible titles.

        • necgray-av says:

          I mostly wanted to mention Kyle.Although as a guy who sometimes dabbles in poetry I really love the assonance in Whiskey Icarus.

    • nostalgic4thecta-av says:

      Even worse are the titles of stand ups’ books. How many fucking hacks are going to write a collection of essays* called “Nothings Shocking” or “No Apologies” or “My Three Cents”? *Not a memoir. Few stand ups are good enough writers to maintain a cohesive book-length narrative

  • mytvneverlies-av says:

    Her Tinder Tapout was hilarious.And then the guys show up!!!

  • maulkeating-av says:

    If you’re gonna put “old souls” on blast, maybe don’t do it while dressed like you’re doing to a photoshoot for a Joe Colombo interior. 

    • necgray-av says:

      This deserves more stars. It’s a burn so hot it cauterizes the hilariously deep cut.

      • maulkeating-av says:

        I just feel that this site can have some regular culture, not just pop culture, sometimes. As a treat.Seriously, that outfit isn’t “60s-inspired” – it’s just “60s”.

        • necgray-av says:

          I’d make an Archer “read a book!” joke but that would just be making your point about pop vs regular culture.

  • kinjacaffeinespider-av says:

    How exactly do I put someone “on blast”? Do I just say “you’re on blast!” or is there a form I need to fill out? A website I can visit? Do I require a lawyer to put anyone “on blast”?

  • lilysdad-av says:

    She is really leaning into the whole “Amy Schumer jokes, but what if she was hot”. 

  • mcpatd-av says:

    I laughed.  Good enough, I’ll check it out.
