Comedian Matt Rife attained massive fame this year by sharing his crowd work bits on social media. The majority of his online audience is female and originates from TikTok, so they were not fully aware of what to expect in his new Netflix special titled, “Matt Rife: Natural Selection”. Let’s just say his Netflix debut has caused quite a controversy online, especially with the ladies.
The Comments Section with Brett Cooper discusses this in the video below:

I‘m a survivor of an abusive relationship and have mentally challenged relatives and personally, I found the joke funny and the apology even funnier. I grew up with a helmet like that (ambitious walking baby). Obviously everyone has their own personal opinions, but if we can’t learn to joke about our struggles they’ll never stop having power over us.
I’d honestly be upset if he excluded stuff like that from his jokes. I’m not some fragile flower that needs to be coddled. Just because we go through something horrible doesn’t mean we can’t laugh about it.
What I’m saying doesn’t pertain to people with triggers and unresolved trauma though. That’s the very real and hard part of about healing, and I do see how that joke could trigger someone going through that. Unsure if Netflix had it, but I think a content warning would be helpful.
Just because you may be against what someone put in their comedy show doesn’t mean theyre a bad person and deserve to be cancelled. It’s a joke. Its not like he punched the waitress or incited DV and told the audience to punch their wives.
These people that are going around and hating on him need to log off TikTok and reevaluate their morals without the internet influence.

Imagine telling a game designer they’re not allowed to have murder in their game because people are murdered everyday.
–
Imagine telling a chef they’re not allowed to cook because there’s people starving in the world.
–
Imagine telling a singer they’re not allowed to write songs about suicide because people kill themselves.
–He has the right to perform what he wants, just as much as the internet police have the free will to block his account and not watch him. ♀️
This man isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. He is absolutely hilarious. He gives no fucks whatsoever. He’s just doing what he loves to do, and making people laugh. His jokes are fire. People are just too damn sensitive nowadays. But let me tell you, you’re not going to see him get cancelled. KEEP ROCKING ON MATT!
