Although the material will have come as no surprise to fans of Glaser’s edgy material on her Comedy Central roast appearances over the years, some viewers found the jokes a step too far, especially since Glaser’s first sketch post-monologue focused on incest.

Maybe it's just me, I wasn't rolling laughing at the jokes or anything but they weren't so bad I'd write an article about them.

It's late night comedy, what did you expect? It's supposed to be more crass. And yeah, "more afraid of it because I might like it" is a classic. Big whoop.

You're never going to be a hack writing sensationalist bullshit headlines with that attitude.

It's also Nikki Glaser, probably one of the most savage and unfiltered comedians working right now. You don't bring her on without expecting people to make a stink.

Is someone being precious?

I thought the video clip in the linked article was pretty funny actually. I also strongly believe that anything can be joked about, just be funny. If you're going to pick some serious material, be funny and not a preachy asshole, and I'm on board.

Sounds presidential quality to me.

I guess it would be considered horrifying by yahoo's tastes. They're 20 years out of fashion.

That was pretty funny actually.

Wow this show is so wildly inconsistent, last week was pretty hilarious, this week I barely cracked a smile except for Pete Davidson's spot on weekend update and the surreal musical bit. She was not funny once.

FWIW, Weekend Update's the only bit of SNL worth watching.

I went back and watched the very first season. The funny bits were few and far between then too.

I do! It's ok
