Nikki Traumatizes Herself So You Don't Have To

by Kadeen Griffiths

Not Safe With Nikki Glaser gets more and more not safe every week, and nowhere is that more evident than in this exclusive clip from Monday's upcoming episode. Glaser's Lie Detector Test, Parental Edition features everyone's favorite comedian having her own parents come to answer some questions while hooked up to a lie detector. And, in case you're new around here, those questions are all sexual in nature. That's right. Glaser asks her parents everything from how often they have sex to whether or not her mother has ever done anal — and she has to sit there and listen to the answers, an experience every bit as traumatizing as the fact that her parents have to tell her. I'm not sure who I feel more sorry for during this Not Safe With Nikki Glaser clip, to be honest. Hopefully, this sketch is followed by another sketch taking place in therapy.

Why is Glaser doing this? Well, why not, honestly? Her show has taken us from strip clubs to porn film sets, from the friend zone to artistic d*ck picks, and now it's poised to take us into the sex lives of parents. But, as horrific as that might be to imagine, there's another layer of meaning to this sketch. It's so easy for everyone to think that their sex life will end once they settle down and have a family, but that's just not the reality. While I don't think any of us ever want to think about the fact that our parents are sexually active — brain bleach needed, now — the fact that Glaser isn't afraid to show that sexuality isn't just for the young, glamorous, and single is just one of many reasons her show continues to be one of the best on television.

Check out the clip below, and feel the burn of secondhand mortification.
