At one point he refers to himself as: "The Trim Reaper". We both nearly
blew wine bubbles out of our noses. It's funny once you hear it in context.
One of the main reasons that both my wife and myself still maintain Netflix as our sole streaming-content provider is because of the many comedic specials they provide.
Now, granted, we were exposed to the fresh material from some of the greatest comedians to have ever lived (while we were still in our childhood): Bruce, Diller, Dangerfield, Carlin, Pryor. Which means that, for the most part, there is nothing original in the universe. We have seen nearly everything that comedy has to offer.
Matt Rife is a funny person. He is always working at "crossing the line"; which is what makes for good comedy.

The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar:
Both my wife and myself agree that this is a rather clever production; what with the breaking of the fourth wall and all of the varied odd characters, along their varied, odd stories; the way that they were presented (and we have not read any of the books, nor do we anticipate doing so) and how situations were presented.
The semi-Tim Burtonesque sets and colors certainly added to the production value but: Unfortunately, we both found the storyline running dry at about the half-way point and we both went for another glass of wine.
This production (in both the opinion of my wife and myself) would have benefitted by a rewrite with character depth included.

In our title box we use the description "light-hearted nonsense" because the movie is just so chocked full of plot holes, contradictions, and, yes, the basic premise is, in our humble opinions, general nonsense.
Please, don't get the wrong idea here; both my wife and myself enjoyed "The Giver". For the most part the story flowed smoothly, the scenery was often times magnificent; just barely reeking of being computer generated imagery. The actors performed their parts well. It's just that there are simply too many implausible actions, situations and statements to be ignored.
Just one example and we are done: how do people know the names of colors if they've never seen colors?
