About Matt Rife

Ohio native 28-year-old Ohioan TikTok made him a viral phenomenon. His sexually explicit comedy videos became viral sensations, leading him to tour arenas and create several major comedies films in 2022.

Backlash ensued following his inappropriate opening joke of mocking a restaurant hostess, sparking larger discussions over whether comedy can still be enjoyable even when targeting vulnerable groups.

Rife’s position that comedians should have the right to offend as long as it makes audiences laugh hasn’t changed; that explains why he continues his regressive act in a new Netflix special called Natural Selection.

TikTok

TikTok is a social media app that allows users to create and upload short-form videos where they lip-synch to background music, similar to karaoke. The platform has attracted an enormous following among fans who follow their favorite creators and take part in challenges on it.

YouTube has also become an avenue for e-commerce, offering features such as “Shop Now” links that enable viewers to purchase products featured in videos directly. However, these “shop now” links may cause viewers to become distracted from the content and decrease engagement or watch time.

TikTok’s widespread popularity has raised some privacy and data collection concerns, particularly with respect to Chinese government data mining operations, and for any influence it might exert on U.S. politics through its “For You” feature. But efforts at banning it have failed due to ByteDance’s lobbying power preventing any action being taken against ByteTok’s enormous popularity and lobbying power.

At age 15, this Ohio native made his comedic debut. He first appeared on MTV’s Wild ‘N Out and has gone on to appear in Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Fresh Off the Boat, TRL and NBC’s Bring the Funny as guest stars. Additionally he is known for hosting his own YouTube channel “Overnight”, as well as appearing in numerous film and television projects such as Black Pumpkin (slasher movie) and TBS comedy competition series Bring It!.

Matt made his stand-up special debut with Natural Selection in 2023 and is currently on his most ambitious tour ever – The ProbleMATTic World Tour.

On Wednesday night at the Netflix Is A Joke Fest at Hollywood Bowl, Matt referenced the outrage sparked by his 2023 Netflix special — in which he joked about domestic violence — during his sold-out Hollywood Bowl performance at Netflix Is A Joke Fest. According to Variety reports, Ohio native Matt also referenced prison – speaking directly to an audience member who had served time for assault as part of this joke fest performance.

Natural Selection

Natural selection is a fundamental principle of evolution that explains why certain traits become more widespread over time. It provides one of the best explanations as to why certain organisms differ so greatly from each other, and allows evolution to take place without direct human interference.

Natural Selection has long been the subject of intense philosophical discussion, with two of its most notable advocates being Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace – two independent experts who developed separate evolutionary theories that explain why some species differ so significantly from one another.

Matt Rife made several jokes that were met with negative response during his 2023 Netflix special, including some about domestic violence that were unfavorably received by many viewers. After witnessing backlash on social media, Rife publicly denounced this criticism on social media.
