Most women would agree Matt Rife is good-looking and dresses well. Completing the trifecta of “signs you might be gay” is that a lot of the jokes I’ve heard from him are borderline misogynistic. Or to say it a different way, he’s like the guy who drives around a big Ford F-250, lift kit, rims, light bar on top. He steps out of the truck with a cowboy hat on, a big belt buckle, and Converse All Stars. Yep, he’s overcompensating for something…. else. We’ve all seen that guy. It’s very possible that Matt is comedy’s version of the same guy.
He’s sort of in the middle of controversies surrounding his off-color jokes… the kind that aren’t sensitive to things that people care a lot about– special needs, domestic abuse, etc. So his future might look something like this: he steps away for a bit for self-reflection, he does some sort of apology, attempts a comeback, reveals his comedy was coming from a place of hurt, announces he’s gay, America embraces him like never before.
Just like all of us, he knows that once he comes out as homosexual, he has instant immunity and he’ll be beloved by everyone. Gays can’t be cancelled, corrected, or criticized. Matt then goes on a nationwide tour, gets a lucrative HBO special, and starts dating Travis Kelce.
