Off-the-heels of his Natural Selection flop, Netflix delivers Lucid to try and recapture the weird enigma of Matt Rife. Rife's sudden rise to fame from social media shorts basically had exchanges like this: Matt: Where do you work? Guest: Victoria's Secret Matt: (ADHD screaming) Oh my God! You work at Victoria's Secret?!?! Audience: *Seal noises of middle-aged woman cackling* That's pretty much the gist of it. It follows much of the same generic crowd work form factor as Akaash Singh joking about Indian IT workers or Phil Hanley joking about special needs teachers. There is little new or particularly interesting to see with Lucid. If you're not into the same, you probably won't like this special. If you are one of Matt's fan, chances are you will still be disappointed Lucid wasn't a continuous highlight reel.

Matt his crowd work is usually good but you can't build a full show around it. You just don't get enough entertaining scenario's. So, how to fix it? Stage a couple people. The first mom-daughter part felt fully staged. I don't buy it for one second. Other interactions were quite basic. Not very entertaining. Some of the "regular" comedy he does in between is more of the same of his last specials his stand up just isn't very good, his crowd work usually is. The clips online are short clips out of full shows and only the actually funny ones get uploaded but this shows that you can't force that in a show. Was listening to it on a walk but if I wasn't I would have turned it off after 15 minutes.

This was not really a stand up special. It was also not really a crowd work show - it was more like a podcast. Super fun and full of surprises - I enjoyed it a ton and in the end I just needed a cigarette because I got what I needed from this. The people who spoke up to tell their stories were the stars of the show as each story was better than the story before. I felt that the outro gave them the credits that they deserved and put this over the top for me. I was at 8/10 and that nostalgia of the fake credits and making me recap the whole thing reminded me that actually all of it was great...

The reviews here are too negative in my opinion. It wasn't the greatest comedy special I've ever seen on netflix, but it definitely had me laughing more than most of the specials that pop up on my feed. Yes, the audience felt a little like it was hand-picked for a crowd work special, and some of the more wacky stories distract from the fact that Matt can find the humor in more mundane details, but it was still funny and Matt still managed to find humor and make quick jokes that I definitely wouldn't be able to think of. Some of the reviews here almost scared me off, so after watching it I figured I'd come add my own.

I went into this today ready to laugh as I usually do when watching his crowd work on the internet short videos. Of course, sometimes he makes me uncomfortable and sometimes really uncomfortable. Still, I wanted to watch and laugh. And I did a few times. And I was really uncomfortable a few times. But mainly, I was ready for it to be over because I found it very limiting. The idea of dreams as the focal point of his entire show just stifled anything that went beyond that box he put his show in. It went beyond a few times, yes. But I really think I would have enjoyed a pure stand up routine instead of all crowd work. He's funny and personable, but this time it just didn't completely work for me.

Matt Rife is witty, but not funny. Most of the comedic heavy lifting is done by the audience members: a woman who gives * lessons, a gay man who dreams of being a female *. Matt points out the absurdity of what the audience member is saying, but adds little humor to it. He'll throw in a quick one liner, but keeps it light so he doesn't offend anyone. That's the problem. He's too timid to say anything that would make anyone uncomfortable. He's trying so hard to be likable, and he's paying for it in the funny department. Matt's special is like vanilla ice cream; it's fine but forgettable.

We've been fans of Matt for like 5 or 6 years now. He has done amazing Crowd work over the years. But the special fell flat. It was horrible crowd work I thought. I think the problem was he trying to have a theme, dreams, and it just did not work. It was not spontaneous ...it just didn't work. Crowd work has to be spontaneous. (jennifer kirson) Over the years he's done amazing crowd work. But to do a show about crowd work. With little edits, then you're put on the spot. Maybe editing would of it made a better? I don't know. But I do know we love Matt rife, we always will, he's very talented, this special just fell short I felt.

Well, if you thought his "Natural Selection" Netflix special was bad, "Lucid" is even worse. All I can say is I really think everything that you see of him on TikTok and YouTube is basically just clips taken from hours and hours of his stand up in clubs. Your only seeing about 5% of what he does that's actually funny. When he tries to do an hour long special, you're seeing his true abilities at trying to be funny for an hour straight, which he clearly can't do. It's kind of crazy that in today's day and age you can get to be as successful as he is by using social media the right way. I'm sorry, but he's just not that good of a comedian. I would've thought that a crowd work special would've shined the light on what he is actually good at, but even this showed that he only has small bouts of funny stuff during shows that are really actually worth laughing at, but the majority of his standup is not funny at all. When you see something on YouTube, it's literally two minutes of his best material that taken from hours of crowd work at a club. BAD, JUST BAD.

Matt slayed. No hype, over exaggeration, nothing; just pure facts. Ignore the bad reviews. I almost avoided the special too. I am so happy that I did. I will be watching it with my wife tomorrow and recommending it to others as well. That's how good it is. I find it so difficult to find good movies or shows these days, this one definitely made my Friday! Thanks Netflix! Thanks Matt! To be confronted with so much challenging material from the crowd, and still be so masterful in gauging that info in-sync with the crowd whilst making the material funny was not only comedic gold but truly masterful. Give it a watch! Done chat :)
