Comedian Matt Rife seems to have traded in his punchlines for a crash course in tasteless humor and questionable comments. Fresh off the heels of his Netflix special, Natural Selection, where he thought it was hilarious to kick things off with domestic violence jokes, Rife has found himself in the spotlight again—this time for allegedly taking a swing at a 6-year-old.
The comedian had earlier said women were ‘blaming [their] poor decision-making skills on planets’.

TikTok sensation Bunny Hedaya’s son decided to school Rife on planetary facts after the comedian’s feeble attempt at astrology humor on the Netflix special.
In response, Rife allegedly fired back with a comment that would make even the Grinch cringe. Claiming, “Jupiter also has [a] ring. OH!… and Santa [Claus] isn’t real. Your mom buys you presents with the money she makes on OnlyFans. Good luck.” Classy move, Rife, really classy.
It’s almost impressive how Matt Rife manages to go lower each time he opens his mouth, whether it’s making light of serious issues or taking a jab at a child. Since this comment, Hedaya has posted a video on TikTok claiming ‘Matt Rife started a fight with the wrong 6 year old’
As fans and Hedaya question Rife’s ability to take a joke himself, it’s clear that his brand of humor, once embraced by a predominantly female fanbase, has soured faster than expired milk. Whether he’s making tasteless remarks or engaging in online spats, Rife’s comedic trajectory seems to be plummeting faster than a lead balloon.
In a world where laughter is often the best medicine, Matt Rife’s attempts at humor feel more like a prescription for cringing. Perhaps it’s time for him to take a hiatus from the mic and enroll in a crash course on common decency. Good luck, indeed.
