The 28-year-old <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a> star has clearly retained the defensiveness that marked so much of \u201cNatural Selection,\u201d his debut Netflix hour from last fall best remembered for an effectively rage-baiting, if groanworthy, bit about domestic violence. But in \u201cLucid,\u201d his latest hours, Rife\u2019s typical hobbyhorses \u2014\u00a0dick jokes, mostly, plus the aforementioned chip on his shoulder \u2014\u00a0are refracted through his audience, a few hundred fans gathered at the Comedy Zone in Charlotte, North Carolina for what Rife proudly and repeatedly stresses is Netflix\u2019s first all-crowd work special.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Rife is not the first stand-up to source an entire act from spontaneous reactions to his own paying audience. (A decade ago, Todd Barry conducted an entire tour with no prepared bits, synthesizing the shows into a special directed by Lance Bangs.) It\u2019s likely the phantom haters Rife is so irked by are responding less to his time-honored means of forging a connection with the crowd than the impression that Rife is more influencer than observational master, using TikTok as a shortcut to the upper echelons of his field. With his full lips and square jaw, Rife certainly looks the part.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    To that end, Rife is careful to emphasize that he\u2019s been performing at the Comedy Zone since he was a teenager, even though his mainstream success is relatively recent. Whatever one thinks of his Gen-Z bro schtick, \u201cLucid\u201d \u2014 directed by frequent collaborator Erik Griffin \u2014 showcases Rife as a seasoned MC. He knows how long to dwell on an interesting response without wringing it dry (a woman who runs a business selling blow job tutorials), and how to pivot away from an obvious dead end (a disjointed ramble about being single). Besides, incorporating other points of view helps temper the exhaustion that comes with Rife pantomiming a high-octane sex toy. He\u2019s more palatable as a garnish than the main course.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    \u201cLucid\u201d is, in practice, not as spontaneous as its premise implies. Though Rife opens with an expected bit of outfit-based roasting \u2014\u00a0a gentleman with a ridiculous pair of bedazzled, curly-toed boots is \u201cdressed like Santa\u2019s favorite elf\u201d \u2014\u00a0most of the hour is a guided conversation on the subject of dreams. The first half is about dreams in the aspirational sense: a woman who\u2019s left a career in marketing to become a pilot; a gay man who knows what his s<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>per name would be if he were a woman. (Brandy Jameson. Pretty good!) The second, weaker half is about more literal dreams. Rife has a recurring nightmare about his teeth falling out; one audience member keeps getting chased by a faceless witch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Though he\u2019s a competent facilitator, Rife never generates the electricity of true, transcendent spontaneity. The framing itself is fairly trite. Rife introduces his subject by acknowledging he\u2019s lucky to get to live his own dream, so he wants to know about others\u2019 \u2014 but by the end, it\u2019s become a setup for more juvenile sex stories. (Naturally, the nightmare chat is followed by a survey on wet dreams.) <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    In the last few years, Netflix has undertaken the same pivot with comedy as <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a>ed programming, shifting focus from prestige or at least diversity to pure populist plays. (Critics certainly aren\u2019t the intended audience anymore; no advance screeners of \u201cLucid\u201d were made available for review.)\u00a0The onetime home of Maria Bamford\u2019s wacky, ingenious \u201cLady Dynamite\u201d now partners with the likes of Rife, Joe Rogan and Shane Gillis: plainspoken men who are sometimes controversial in an exhausting, culture war sort of way, but mostly offer low-effort laughs. \u201cLucid\u201d is just the latest stage of a broader <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> plan.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    <em>\u201cMatt Rife: Lucid\u201d is now streaming on Netflix.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
