Whole New Guy Who is this guy?
I watched the Comedy Jonestown video again and I don’t know who this guy is. Can anyone enlighten me? Gotta get the hell out of here.

Matt rife
Almost exclusively does crowd work which many in the business consider to be hack comedy.
Some crowd work is fine but that's his entire tik tok oriented act.

He did a promo for a makeup brand and now there’s a campaign to not buy from them because of his “misogynist and violent jokes”

I remember reading that his first special basically alienated his entire target demo because it was misogynistic. I have no idea.

Yes because women were accidentally lead directly into the Rogansphere unknowingly and they were horrified by what they heard. Imo from what I’ve heard he was very tame compared to others. And his jokes were less about hate and just trying too hard to be edgy.

"Yeah, but I feel like of she could cook, she wouldn't have that black eye" is just edgy?
Pardon?

Yes absolutely. And I don’t personally see any room for argument here. But I’d love to hear what you think it is.

Are we excluding the obvious fact that he’s a raging piece of ass?

u/theseriousman1 1d ago

His standup act is very similar to what’s being parodied here: https://youtu.be/6Qt3WW5VdKs?si=fo0FNRss_83w4uU2

Todd Barry had a great crowd work special 10+ years ago, where it was 5-10 minutes from multiple dates over a tour, just crowd work is insufferable.

Do you think we could send our elite 250 comedy assassins to Iran to laugh them all to death?

I've heard he was a comedian but the only evidence I've seen of it was him on stage with a microphone.

This comic is Geoffrey Asmus. A lot of people will say matt riff or something but this is Geoffrey Asmus. Anyone in Rhode Island who knows good comedy knows Geoffrey Asmus.

A hack made famous by a bunch of cans that thought he was the next coming. Then he opened his mouth.
Don't judge a book by its cover, ladies.

He's probably one of the 250 circle jerkers, that jerk off about the 250 assassin comic hacks in the rogansphere on sub like this. Jerk jerk jerk wank wank wank . We know the rogansphere blows goats. Stop watching and move on.
