Matt Rife seemingly became an overnight sensationon the internet in 2023 after people fell in love the comedian.
One TikTok clip went particularly viral, skyrocketing his profile, and subsequently his career, into superstar territory.
He considers his comedy boundary pushing, but many people see it as insulting.
“It’s comedy,” he insisted.
“Sometimes you don’t hit the mark.

“I used to like Matt rife but who the hell does he think his audience is?”
Others defended him, saying that it was just a joke and not to read into it.

“I would argue this special is way more for guys.”
