Rife For Cancellation | Matt Rife | EP 401

[@brendabolanos-ivory52]

I’m a woman, disabled, victim of domestic violence and I enjoy Matt Rife. If you don’t like it don’t listen. Laughter is my best medicine. I watch Matt. He tells JOKES.

[@barbaraparker7936]

I agree Jordan Peterson is a psychopath

[@ryanlee3228]

So you got a military scene of humor! That’s the best way to be. As a vet I completely agree we also tend to joke about things that most people get scared to think or say and take it way to seriously! Definitely right if you don’t like it turn it off and leave people like us to enjoy it! Sorry for your experience but amazing way to stand up for yourself and make the best of it. Next time you’re at a bar and you see some veterans grab a drink and join us you can say anything you want and if someone has a problem we got your back

[@wanderingjennifer2715]

As a disabled veteran who watched my father abuse my mother, brothers, and sisters, I agree that this guy is hysterical! Nothing short of awe and talent for his ability to see suffering, humiliation, and make something as trivial as domestic abuse ABSOLUTELY FUNNY. Put him on the pedestal of manhood Jordan Peterson says! Even my father was laughing as he kicked my mom's face in with his weathered farm boots. My mom was laughing through all the blood from her missing teeth. It was the best Xmas ever, now that I think about it and the police said it was one of the most terrible cases they ever saw HAHAHAHAHAHA! So funny! Anyway, anyone who disagrees that domestic abuse isn't pure comedy gold is a cuck simp beta feminist.

Agree! I was diagnosed with a rare form of muscular dystrophy called Mitochondrial Myopathy in 1992 at age 12. I started attending MDA camp that year, we called it the crippled kids camp! I have the utmost respect for Dr. Peterson and Matt is hilarious (even though I love metal music.😂) I've been prescribed countless medications by doctors that were listed as "toxic" to Mitochondrial diseases and battles a 25 year long opioid addiction. I truly believe "laughter" (and specific vitamin supplements) r the best medicine. In this world if u don't laugh you'll never stop crying. Stay strong Dr. Peterson and Matt Rife💜💜💜

[@gabiballetje]

Well, comics are generally pretty smart and think about all kinds of things, and because humor can often be offensive, because you're making fun of something, often normal human behaviour or odd things or society in general, and live in that, you tend to think more or differently about some things. They both think a lot about people, emotions, humanity, life, etc. And people not understanding what he says is a joke are just, well, morons. He touches a bit on it when he's talking about timing too, there are places and times you can say horrible things and they're just funny, but often you have to be quick with it, if you take 30 seconds to think of something and then say it instead of within a second, it'll come over waaaaay different. But still, he's doing a show, it's a joke. As soon as you think something is too bad or ridiculous to be true, it probably is, apparently some people are missing that insight.

[@sheriwright5411]

[@kacykelley-warren640]

Not only is Matt hilarious, he comes across as so genuine and unapologetically real!! He NEVER EVER comes across as an a-hole. Although his jokes and banter with the audience is oftentimes what an a-hole would say, someone who is being an a-hole doesn't receive standing ovations!! He is human. He is a man. He is real and NEVER seems disingenuous. What a refreshing concept in the "Karen" world that we live in these days!! I watch him for a number of reasons, the same reasons that, ( I am certain), the majority of his female fan base watch him. First and foremost, as humans, we prefer to enjoy beautiful things!! Maybe it sounds shallow, but it is true and "Matt" is definitely beautiful!! I remember when I first saw Ashton Kutcher and I thought,"how gorgeous!". My very next thought was, "wait.... he is funny too?! How refreshing!"! Gorgeous people, more often than not, come across as so unrelatable; not Matt Rife!! When I first noticed him, my initial reaction was lust, (my gosh, he is absolutely "Brad Pitt", gorgeous!), but before I knew it I was laughing my a** off!! It is a guarantee that when I watch him, I am going to laugh, (usually until I hurt)! I know that I am going to feel much better after "CHOOSING" to watch him, than I did before!! What more can I ask for from my entertainment "CHOICES"? Also, enjoying him is absolutely just that..... a choice!! I choose to enjoy him. If you find him offensive, choose not to watch!! I suggest that you take your progressive ass to the view and implode with the show!! Keep it up Matt!! You are awesome on so many levels!!

Finding him one rainy Saturday morning turned into a two day binge fest where upon returning to work Monday morning, my abs literally hurt.

[@LionOfGondor]

To start, I’m a Sikh, Indian, and my culture is important to me. Thought the past two years I’ve fallen in love with the comedy Matt Rife tells, it’s quick, witty and genuine, he’s not scripted, he’s a true talent. I hope you get to read this. I saw a comedy skit online that he did where he bounced jokes off a Sikh man making terrorists jokes. It was tough to hear at first cause my people have been attacked being called that before. For a moment I was mad with Rife, but then I remembered it’s a joke, he’s a comedian. While the joke is insensitive it was still just a harmless joke and seeing the fellow Indian man who was in the video happy made me happy. I then mentally set myself as if I wasn’t a Sikh and didn’t know the tension of what terrorism is to the Sikh community then I found the joke decent, not his best work but not hurtful to my being. People need to learn to separate their true selves when experiencing comedy. Sorry for a long comment wanted to share how I almost got offended but took the philosophy of not taking comedy at true value to myself as who I am

[@meghanparris8203]

You have to know yourself and, I think, be ok with who you are to be able to separate who you are from something someone said, without taking it personally. And lemme say this now before I get ahead of myself, I wholeheartedly agree with you, I think it's one of the main reasons why people these days do get so upset over every little thing, is because they have no real values and they don't really stand for one thing or another- literal fence-sitters. So they don't have the ability to separate themselves, they get personally hurt- like, it's being said only to them. You are obviously intelligent enough to see and do this yourself, but sadly most people aren't.

I think you touched on something important which is taking a step back from indignation about your identity. Whether your identity is black, white, female, trans, Sikh, etc, especially as it relates to the field of comedy, obsession about your identity is something that will only hinder the experience of going for the "ride" that is listening to someone else's joke.

[@mattChisholm-vt3dl]

This is a great response. Comedy is a show. An act. And to be offended is just a selfish and egotistical. Unless he targets you specificly sure you can feel how you want but be a realistic man or woman and be bigger than that. Who care how you feel because if it's making people laugh you're spreading a good feeling to a crowd to be honest I don't like being targeted about anything that would bring up a negative emotion but it's a show it's meant to be controversial or something that you wouldn't take politely from someone on the street because it's not real it's just like TV it goes to extreme sometimes because we all have intrusive thoughts that we wouldn't act on but when someone can actually turn any scenario especially something negative into laughter then he's doing the job that you paid to go see it has to be expected especially in comedy it's great that you understand this laughter is the second most treasured emotion that you can share with others . And to push past any personal issue that might feel offensive to you is worth it as long as it's making people laugh only the truth matters assumptions are made by the comedian in his joke it's never personal it's for everyone. Right on man it's good to see that someone can actually take a joke

We talked about the kids. I'm really grateful I spent that night with her. Next day my bro and SIL come to the hospital, visit for a few hours, then the three of us say goodbye to my mama, and we head to their house so I can eat, shower, etc. On the way home, my brother decides we need some musical therapy, which we all agree with He picks his song, we cry a little. Then he says, "Hey Manda, pick a song.", which my SIL (JOKINGLY) responds with, "Uh what about my turn?!" Because normally, he would have asked her first. I'm still cringing a bit about what I said. "Gosh, Rena, YOUR mom isn't dying!" She immediately apologized for saying it which of course caused me to apologize because I was also only joking. My bro realized it, because I would have never seriously said something like that to anyone, much less her (she's such a sweet person)! But, my mama wasn't truly near death before either, so I suppose she wasn't 100% sure.

Peterson is like a father figure to me. I learned things that family suppose to teach me from HIM because of his loving approach towards humanity, truth and the knowledge. Just finished Rife’s latest Stand Up, w tears of sadness about his grandfather’s passing, mixed with laughed and both emotional outbursts were equally strong. One of the greatest comedians ever!!! So blessed to have an opportunity to listen to both in one room!!❤❤❤

A joke is to ridicule the situation, not the person. You are GRANDE.

[@debbieklose8776]

That is the best perspective! Well said ‘n

I've learned that laughing at the negativity in my life is my is my super power. If I can't laugh at me, I give someone else power over me.

[@stephaniechapman2010]

Cancel culture is insane for treating Matt Rife as a bad comedian. He is funny and being able to work a crowd is a talent that should be appreciated.

[@cinenomadic]

Actually you can just stop at "Cancel culture is insane".

[@Reprobus3]

He wasn't "cancelled", it was just a publicity stunt. He deliberately said something he knew would get attention for that very reason.

Just discovered Matt Rife a couple of days ago and have been binging. It's 5 am in the morning and now I've discovered Jordan Peterson. It's a win, win situation.

[@kingarchlich5142]

I just loved this. Not just simply the verbal exchange but their body language in certain topics. Hand gestures, movement in chair, just the pure energy in the conversation; both from Matt and Jordan. It was just a sincere conversation. Jordan making little foot movements when making a point and Matt in return getting into a relaxed mindset to take in that information. Its rare to see this type of interaction.

[@dreamyladyx2362]

As a 53 Year Old Lady... and a Victim of DV my entire Life and a Victim of r*** ... I find Matt HILARIOUS!!! Yes, even his DV joke... I love Jordan as well and this interview is just great!!! Both of you keep up the GREAT, AMAZING Work!!!!

[@Not2daysatan]

It is cuz you are actually a survivor and not a victim.

[@levi-5th]

I would never pretend to understand your trauma, but I admire your strength. You've made a choice to see the good in things and not be defined by the horrible unfair abuse you've unfortunately endured. Your amazing😊

[@dreamyladyx2362]

@@levi-5th Thank you and @Not2daysatan for your comments! I didn't post for acknowledgement, but it's greatly appreciated! I always treat people with kindness regardless of anything that's happened to me BECAUSE of what's happened to me. I would never want anyone to feel or go through the things or emotions I did. I know it's not always possible, but I try really hard. I also don't hold any grudge or bad feelings towards those that wronged me. I choose to forgive and move on. Judgement will come or not. There is only one true judge and jury and it's not me or anyone on earth.

[@ginnydavenport3303]

I love that Matt could keep up with JP’s questions and conversation. I loved this interview. How wonderful for each of them.

[@nunyabizwacks6711]

The only reason Peterson is hard to keep up with is his spouting off novels worth at a time of stream of consciousness nonsense, and his inability to just ask a simple, streamlined question that gets to the point.

[@productjunkie9235]

I have watched sooooo many videos of Matt Rife and have never laughed so hard. I love this guy. Kudos 🎉 you Matt. You have found your niche.

[@youwannahearajoke]

I love when Jordan hears 'I disagree..' He seems to get happy, because he loves to learn, not prove you wrong. That's rare.

[@BillGrovesSr]

Peterson is a real treasure.

I'm a girl, I went through a domestically violent relationship including hits... I laughed when I watched the special. I love his specials, I don't really use tictok to see the crowd work... Matt is hilarious, and I would still pay to see him live.

[@Susierae40]

You can KZbin all his crowd work. He's hysterical.

[@jess.listenttm]

I'm a DV survivor, I saw him perform this live in Des Moines, and I laughed. If you can't laugh at your trauma, you can't get past it.

[@halversonnoel0]

You think that everone was able to get past it when you did, or is it ok to be shit on for being abused at any time no matter what?

[@zoemay6847]

Easy for you to say as a survivor, try saying that to people who lost their children, sisters and friends to disgusting men who killed them in the end.

[@SniperDmn]

@@halversonnoel0 Don't like one joke from a comedian? MOVE THE FK ON. Simple. Not rocket science.

[@audreydoyle5268]

​@@SniperDmn there's a huge difference between making a joke about terrible things which have happened to you and making light of terrible things which have happened to others. The latter is called punching down.

[@Chanoine12]

I think a good part of the triggered people are "offended in the name of". Pathetic people. You, you overcame it, it is a win and now you can laugh. Some are still in it, I doubt they take time to complain about a comedian. Leaves the people whom lost someone to DV feeling pain and guilt, it is sad for them though no reason to bitch about comedy imho

[@hilarycabot8734]

Such a great conversation. I am a fan of both men.

[@deathtakes]

I just binge watched a bunch of Matt's stand up. He's hilairious. I love that he unapologetically tells his jokes.

[@timrowe234]

He’s good

[@sophiekeeling2637]

Me too! 😊😅Big belly laughs!

[@Horzinicla]

He's definitely the next big comedian. He started off with viral tiktoks but he's definitely going to be more than just that

[@kugelschreiber5678]

I’m LITERALLY watching an hours worth compilation of Matt Rife doing crowd work, and it is frikkin GLORIOUS. I’ve been watching comedians for years - even the ones before my time (80’s and 90’s) - and I genuinely believe Matt is at the top of the food chain.

[@notme2day]

His crowd work I loved the best was when he told the audience ~ "if you all had brought more black friends this wouldn't have been so awkward for you". Loved it!!!

[@dontheador6649]

Comedy is the final frontier for free speech. I didn't know anything about this Rife fellow before, but it's good to see that he isn't folding to the woke mob. They will move on in a week anyway and pretend to be offended by something else. If anything this is a career stimulus package for him. Excellent video, as well.

[@russellg9622]

At this point it’s more of a rite of passage. If the woke mob tries to cancel you then you must be doing something right. They are such a joke now.

[@rokkkrinn2793]

Never apologize to the woke mob. They'll see it as an admission of guilt, and never leave you alone. Good job, Matt.

[@mile3018]

Or they'll see it as weakness and gnash their teeth salaciously, reveling in the opportunity to tear into someone they perceive as weaker or more vulnerable than themselves. Woke culture is coward culture.

[@SheezFubar]

​@@SH-iz6igYou're the perfect example/reason for this whole video. Guess who outwitted you?

[@Sabamonster]

@@SH-iz6ig No, he shouldn't - because he was referring to the TERRORISTS that put those children in that position in the fucking first place. You have absolutely no idea how the real world works and it's absolutely evident with this singular post. You are taking the sentiment of a comment and wrapping it up in your own ideological bullshit to try and enforce a different meaning than what was intended. He very VERY clearly wasn't talking about the loss of human children and you being a facetious agenda pushing mouthpiece isn't going to change it.

[@JadeDragoness77]

I am part of the "woke mob", was abused my entire life and I loved the joke and love Matt Rife. Don't throw all us woke people under the bus like that. It's disingenuous and shows your lack of intelligence.

[@Jax_Destro]

​@JadeDragoness77 I can't agree with you more on this. Outrage mobs exist all over the political spectrum. Back in the day you had the right outraged over GTA and Dungeons and Dragons. It doesn't matter what your politics are, no side is immune to irrational lunacy.

[@cjm0520]

Your comedy is extremely funny to most intelligent people. Some people just don't have a sense of humor. It's common and that doesn't make them stupid. A small group is "woke" and gets offended by satire. These people are stupid. The rest of us love your comedy. Keep it up, Matt!!
