      Objecting to a joke is not "canceling." I don't find him funny. He has a smarmy bro quality to him that is off-putting. Maybe he can tour with Louis CK, who is actually funny but a repugnant person, and I'll skip both of them. Still not "canceling." 😂

      I think the outrage from his female audience is motivated more by feelings of betrayal than offence.
      His rise to fame was enabled by a mostly female audience supporting him on social media for a joke that was weak and unoriginal. Stav nailed it on the head on that WMBD podcast.
      I saw Steve Hughes live in 2013. He did a r*pe joke and I’ve never laughed so hard in my life despite having my own personal experiences with r*pe.

      It's not edgy tho - that joke is a century old. It's been married, divorced, had kids, grandkids, and so on. This isn't new or original. It's just an old black eye joke about a woman not being able to cook. It's so overdone and not funny. But, it was still just short joke compared to the rest of the special - just surprised he did this for Netflix.

      I saw Matt last week in Brisbane and you are spot on, he came out hard and fast & mentioned social media hating what he’d said. He was funny, poignant, gorgeous with a girl with cerebral palsy who was in the crowd and it was a fun gig. I’m a Mum who cares full time for my adult disabled Son and he talked a lot about that subject yet it just JOKES! Not reality, if he were going after special needs kids, different story. Love his work.

Matt Rife is one of the best crowd work comedians. His stand up wasn't a 10 out of 10... But, it was above average. He's got nowhere to go but up with his material.

I do agree that Stav is way more popular than Matt and yes comedy is subjective, however i don't think he is genuine in his criticism.

      @dolphdangles1322 Honestly, i dont follow any comedians off stage. So i have no idea what stav says about anything nore Do i have any idea what anyone else feels about Matt. All i know is when in this video Stav said you can joke about anything if the joke is funny which is 100% true, and i have been aware of Matt for a little while now and i personally dont find him funny at all. his jokes are not very good at all, so i can totally see how a regual who doesn't know who Matt is would be offended by his jokes. Imagine taking Andrew Dice Clay and try to put him on netflix today in 2023..... it would be the most disastrous thing to ever happen. Just because something is shocking doesn't mean it's funny, and honestly, you sound like you just dont like Stav, so you are using his pretty accurate accesment of this situation to take a shot at him. And just to be honest, the more of Stav in podcast, the less im liking him too.

    I think what really rubbed people the wrong way is that he got popular off of catering to his largely female demographic - and then does C- material on domestic violence and star signs. He’s a guy who got famous for doing crowd work and flirting with his audience, and his actual material is hacky and weak. He seems bitter that he pretty much only has female fans, when in reality he’d still be a feature act without them.

      Other comedians aren't going to defend him if they think he isn't funny, especially since his fame and popularity have come out of nowhere. There's a long history of "earning it" and "putting in your time" among comedians, and people who get famous without having a good act are often scorned by other comics. It has nothing to do with being "offensive."

It’s a man using his looks, charisma, and wit to basically win over teenage/young girls in his audience. He is displaying EXACTLY the traits that attract women, and it’s basically him in a public forum, in front of a group of women, displaying his personality to the women admirers of the room.
