The Backlash Over Matt Rife's New Netflix Comedy Special Is Strong And People Are Mad

If you’ve spent any time at all on social media, you are well aware of who Matt Rife is.

His comedy has become popular arguably due to the ladies who like to simply watch him flirt with the fans in the audience.

He’s definitely fun to look at — and he’s pretty funny, too!

And, while his comedy has grown because of the ladies, he just pretty much alienated all his biggest fans.

See, Matt Rife just dropped a comedy special on Netflix — Natural Selection.

It shot straight to #1 on the streaming platform after just 48 hours of joining the Netflix lineup of movies and shows.

People were so excited to watch, but they were left a little stunned.

It’s this Matt Rife Netflix comedy special that is now driving a wedge between him and the fans that made him internet famous.

Why Is Everyone Talking About the Matt Rife Netflix Comedy Special?

In the recent past, Matt has been a little mouthy about his online fanbase being mostly women.

The dude even appeared to be offended by the idea that he specifically caters his content to women.

But, I mean, it’s what he does, right?!?

Now, Matt Rife is letting it be known that he geared his Netflix special towards his male fanbase.

I would argue this special is way more for guys.

A decision that may have backfired just a bit.

In the Matt Rife Netflix special, he opens the whole thing with jokes about domestic violence against women.

I’ve only been to Baltimore one time, and the hostess who seats you had a black eye. — And my boy, who I was with, was like, ‘Yeah, I feel bad for her, man, I feel like they should put her in the kitchen or something where nobody has to see her face.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, but I feel like if she could cook, she wouldn’t have that black eye.’

Not cool, dude.

He then goes on to mock the interests of women who are into astrology — the ones he calls “crystal girls.”
