No haha. That's how you got fooled easily. They prepared everything, that's a script, they memorise it. But comedians practice that to make it look like they say their jokes instantly, without thinking.
I think you’re totally right. It didn’t rub me wrong at all. It actually struck me as endearing, and I think that’s because it was genuine. What you’re saying totally lines up.
Listen, the rules of society are that you're either funny, attractive, or god forbid neither. You're just not legally or physically allowed to be both.
I can totally forgive laughing at your own jokes when they're doing crowd work and even they don't know what's about to transpire. If he was just doing stand-up, I'd totally agree.
@@queenj.8i895 Michael's great. Not in any way meaning to put him down here. I have lots of friends with unique and unusual attributes. So I've come to frequent the word "eccentric" when I must describe them. Michael will never be the cool guy. In ways he's cool, sure. But, uh... Yeah. What I'm trying to say is that I think I'm 100% with you, in your comment about our esteemed and endearing friend, M. Knowles. ;-)
@@marvelaturraz5405 I love his “weirdness”. He’s very smart & hilarious. And me, I’m eccentric for sure. Even my son, who’s only 15, finds Mr. Knowles to be quite funny. 🙃 Many blessings to all God’s funny children 🫶
JBP did a really great interview with Matt. He doesn’t really do the audience interaction anymore because he knows he’d get stuck and wouldn’t grow if he continued that. He also addresses laughing at your own stuff, and I really liked his answer. I think it’s hilarious when comedians laugh at their own stuff.
What was his answer to that? I also like when comedians laugh at their own stuff. Laughter is contagious, so not only does it keep the audience laughing, but I like to see that the comedian is having fun up on stage.
Also Michael’s comments about Matt needing more refinement, Matt is still in his mid 20’s and started comedy at age 15. He’s amazing for his age and will definitely get better with age
He didn’t say he wasn’t doing crowd work anymore, he just said he wasn’t doing the red flag thing anymore I believe, because women would yell red flags and interrupt the show
well when u laugh 50% and the audience do 50% its even more funnier. even the fact that nearly everything is spontanous and u enjoy yourself make that even better. u dont act like " the joke is funny i prepared 5 month ago" no its just natural fun.
Huh? From what I understand from the interview, "laughing at your own stuff" is like laughing at your own bad situation (an indication that the bad situation no long has power over you)
@@promethiac2641 You can dislike the joke, some of his jokes I find unfunny or meh, but I don't bitc* about it and organize campaigns to cancel him. If you made that joke at 12 than you are soulless. Gfy 🤡
He releases crowd work mostly on because he saves his material for his standup shows. He doesn't want you to pay to see him in person and think "I've heard all this before".
Matt joked that he was fugly growing up and turned attractive in his early 20s, therefore he wasted his youth creating a personality only to not need it now. 😅
It's about how it fits into your broader persona. If you feel like the person is laughing at the joke because they genuinely think the topic is funny, it's charismatic. If you feel like the person is laughing at the joke because they think they're funny, it's obnoxious.
Matt wasn't laughing at his own jokes, he was laughing at his own wit. There's a difference. He's processing what he just said at tye same time all of us are, which elicits a real reaction. He doesn't prepare witty comebacks.
Exactly, he has a natural ability to make witty comebacks or comments, I used to do this with my friends group (but at obviously an amateur level), sometimes you are literally caught off guard by what you just said and it’s funny, so you laugh.
Him doing all this at 28 is astounding. His comedic style is to be enjoyed by all ages(yes kids can watch RUclips and WILL watch him too) He's hilarious.
I absolutely love when comedians laugh at their own jokes, but it's definitely a specific style. That's the best thing about comedy - which Michael obviously gets- is that there's something for everyone ❤
@shawnstafford7809 Facts! I'm Left of Centre, but I gotta say that that sounds like a "Liberal Utopia" (nightmare!) Hahaha Edit: If I've said it once... "Read 1984. Then, if you don't get the issue of where limiting language can end up, read it again."
You're confusing his scripted material with his crowd work. What you're watching is his crowd work where he's interacting with the crowd and responding to them and firing from the hip with his responses. That's why he's laughing at his own jokes so to speak because he's having the same reaction the audience has because it's spontaneous material he's coming up with on the spot. Very few are in his league with the crowd work.
I thought Rife was funny for it and I respected him, until he went off online on his plastic surgeon for posting a joke on TikTok. Dude can’t take what he dishes out. 😂😂
I just watched a video about him recently. It talked about him getting fired by NBC, because he wouldn’t stop telling OJ jokes. I can’t remember for sure though, but I think they regretted letting him go and offered him his job back with SNL.
Michael has his taste and that's fine, but there's one objectively wrong point he made. Rife uses pauses very well, and in stand-up, you HAVE to let the joke breathe. You can keep going from punch to punch and be fast and hilarious, but you will have people miss jokes because they couldn't hear over their own laughter. And, in certain jokes, you NEED the pause to let the joke set in (think dark humor). Without it, it loses some of it's touch because the pause and realization makes it.
@@yankeetango nope, Rodney's pacing was perfect. He always let the audience appreciate the joke before the next setup. Joke, 1, 2, joke, 1, 2. It's the art form.
Crowd work is tough because it’s mostly unscripted and I think Matt’s very good at that spontaneous on the fly interaction. He’ll be fine tuned in a few years. But I don’t see his laughing being at his own jokes necessarily. I think it’s to connect with the crowd, which makes them more comfortable and less likely to turn on him…..
The funniest part of the whole video is when the editor zooms in on the jeans loincloth with a question mark. I bust a gut laughing at that. What the heck is he wearing?
I don’t think of it as him simply laughing at his jokes. I think he laughs to make the crowd lighten up, especially who he’s talking to, and just the awkward tension of saying all the off color things he says to them
Funniest stuff I have seen from Rife is all crowd work. The flix special, it was ok but nothing spectacular. Oh yeah and on that laughing at his own jokes, I always took it for making people feel less uncomfortable. Like showing that he's not serious.
What's great about Matt Rife is that he does crowd work or improv with the audience, so every performance is different. He has a unique style that I appreciate.
Rife has a different style and it's refreshing, he keeps it real. Fun fact, he's also a ghost hunter. He deserves all the success he is getting. He did Jordan Peterson's show very recently, don't be bitter Michael.
Rife's crowd work is his best stuff. I feel he should do the opposite of Michael's wants and just lean into the crowd work hard. Those are the clips that go viral the most for him.
Yeah the laughing at his own jokes part is sparking a conversation, i personally think its good because it gets the juices flowing in our brains, humanises him and makes it feel like he's not just a character on a screen but a person you can interact with yk? Like making a joke with your friends and all of you burt out laughing
Matt is really funny lol Most of what you’ll find online of him is crowd work but that’s only like 5min of his set. He does actual jokes too he just doesn’t put them on the internet because then there would be no need to go to a show.
Rife actually does address the oxymoron of being a good looking comedian in one of his acts. He never really thought of himself as handsome while growing up, cause he wasn't.
Hearing Michael in the Lady Ballers ad talking about being “brave and beautiful” just before hearing him in the clip is hilarious to me 😂 Edit: that model edit with Matt in background 😂😂
I just recently started seeing some of Matt's comedy. I think what makes it funny is he roasts everyone! He doesn't discriminate, but it's all in good fun. He really does connect with his audience.
@Michael Knowles, Mat Rife doesn’t do mostly crowd work. He only uploads crowd work because he thinks it is unfair for his audience to pay for to watch him say jokes that they already saw on RUclips.
He's talented... but let's face it... he's far more popular than he otherwise might be because of his looks. I believe even he admitted it was the ladies who really love him and have propped him up big time
I think it’s important to realize you are only watching his off the cuff crowd work. He doesn’t post his actual stand up online. If he did why would you go to his show and watch the same jokes that you all ready seen. His words. I enjoy these clips. Keep them coming.
I love how he has NO problem going after the snowflake cry babies! It's tough when he goes into Christian jokes, but again, he's an equal opportunity offender. How he can come up w jokes during interaction is pretty awesome.
Just as you finished saying "fine tuned and gristled"... My son's dog grunts in his sleep ("ha, yeah" he says) ! Now THAT'S comedic timing - so funny 👌🤣😎
Matt Rife is so pretty 95% of his audience would sleep with him if they could. He's got quick caustic wit which he tried to soften the blow by laughter. I've watched alot of his stand up and he's very good. He doesn't need to be old and grizzled to placate anyone's insecurities about their own looks. He just needs to be him.
Still waiting for Michael to be introduced to Shane Gillis - easily the funniest comic out there today. His Trump impersonation is hysterical, but he has so many other funny bits.
He is so spot on. Like listen to the JP interview. Matt Rife sounds like he 100% agrees with MK. Got a lot to learn, comics don’t even hit their stride until they are older, Rife is wise because he is humble.
i like matt rife i think hes young but pretty talented and he works outside of the norm to take risks which is pretty cool. i think will just get better as he gets older and probably have a pretty big career. the on the fly stuff shows that hes funny but likely also pretty intelligent which is a good combo for a comedian. im looking forward to where he is in a decade or 2
Just a preference thing. Some comedians do it and some don't. Actually most don't I would say other than a giggle here and there. But the ones that just laugh every time they tell a joke I find pretty annoying and distracting from the act. @@steventaylor6881
I saw an interview with him and his crowd work is actually a small part of his act. He just posts the crowd work skits to give people a sample of his act so he doesn’t give away the jokes in his main act. Brilliant business move.
I have to show the first part of this to my oldest son, he's often stopped & asked for pictures or autographs because people think he's Matt Rife. He'll love being told that, by default, he could be a model! 😂😂😂
I think he laughs at his own jokes bc he speaks without thinking. The jokes hit him at the same time it does with the audience. 😂
EXACTLY!!!
No, he's laughing to try to take the sting out of what he just said. He does that laugh strategically...I don't think he ever cracks himself up.
No haha. That's how you got fooled easily. They prepared everything, that's a script, they memorise it. But comedians practice that to make it look like they say their jokes instantly, without thinking.
@@karenr.8929 Ummm...the jokes in question are during crowd work, which is improvised.

Michael doesn’t understand that a lot of that wasn’t scripted. He’s doing this as he thinks on his feet. Many comedians can’t do this that well.
I think Andrew Schultz is best at that type of comedy currently.
That's what makes him more talented. The off the cuff improvisation is 💯 awesome.

that bit where michael can't stop talking about how handsome matt is, the producers were over there panting about what they were gonna do with it lol
He is so smart! He did an interview with Jordan Peterson that was just absolutely amazing.
I hope you've watched more of him and realized his crowd work is his bread and butter . its amazing .
Matt works the audience like nobody else. He comes with the jokes on the spot. He cracks himself up which spreads to the audience.

His crowd work is phenomenal. 🤣
Like Michael, I am not a big fan of crowd work comics, but Matt's "Milf and cookies" improv with a grandma named Christina, was hilarious and EPIC!
I’ve never seen a handsome comedian - Michael Knowles
I've been waiting desperately for Knowles to talk about Rife😂😂😂😂😂 Priceless Guys! Priceless!
He reminds me of a frat guy at a frat party.
Same that’s why I just don’t like him. Ppl use Dave chapelle and Williams. But they’re actually chill and down to earth. Matt just ain’t that guy
