I can only speak for myself, but if someone is "punching down" to a disadvantaged group, and simultaneously wants to literally punch said group, it's not comedy.
Nobody takes Anthony Jeselnik seriously when he says Marlee Matlin should have won a Grammy in the Special Olympics, or that Snoop Dogg stole his wallet. He's an Archie Bunker-- he's satirizing those things.
