AskAubry @ask_aubry Matt Rife: my special is for guys... Immediately opens up with a domestic violence joke. Variety @Variety The opening joke of Matt Rife's Netflix special, Natural Selection, is set at a restaurant in Baltimore, a city Rife describes as "ratchet." The hostess has a black eye, Rife tells the crowd, which prompts one of Rife's companions to wonder why she's been assigned to greet people instead of being moved into the kitchen where patrons can't see her face. "Yeah," Rife tells his friend, "but I feel like if she could cook, she wouldn't have that black eye." The crowd laughs loudly, shocked but also excited. That joke suggests the rest of the hour might have more of the same: danger and naughtiness and crossed lines. (And misogyny and a white guy relying on Black vernacular.) But as the first burst of laughter is still rolling, Rife says he's "just testing the waters, seeing if y'all are gonna be fun or not... I figure if we start the show with domestic violence, the rest of the show should be smooth sailing." V Matt Rife on his Netflix special: "One thing that I wanted to tackle in this special was showing people that despite what you think about me online, I don't pander my career to women. I would argue this special is way more for guys." variety.com 4:32 AM Nov 16, 2023-313.3K Views Follow 9:27 AM Nov 20, 2023 822.4K Views Follow :
Cooper Follow @Cooperstreaming I think Matt Rife's special is so bad because he's trying SO hard to prove himself to other men through misogyny. It's desperate and sad. 12:17 AM . Nov 20, 2023 85.6K Views
