Oh Matt..
All that momentum and hype and you crash and burn. This special proved why Netflix probably does not give opportunities to comedians who are huge on YouTube.
My expectations were much higher for Matt Rife, this guy was relatable, had jokes you could understand but still keep things modern enough that they don't feel like the same old thing every other comedian tries.
Unfortunately the jokes were dry, punchlines did not really land and the opening was incredibly weak. No one really enjoys listening to bland jokes about women being in the kitchen, their biological clock and old men telling stories.
Matt can do better, I have no doubt, but he needs to go back to the drawing board and understand shorts and special are different.
This special was poorly paced, poorly structured and filled with bland jokes that did not land.
