I don't think that any class of people is too powerless, powerful, poor, rich, black, white, fit, disabled, in-group or out-group to be the butt of jokes. This, however, does not mean that all jokes are funny.

Me, a moron: "Good comedy is funny." You, a genius: "Good comedy is about offending the people your target audience hates."

Inspired by someone droning on about "punching up" with reference to LCK

It doesn't always bite, but it can. Take Peter Cook's "judge" speech, or Brass Eye.

Poles love punching up and down. Quite egalitarian comedically.

Implying that Poles love punching is indulging a very damaging trope. Check your privilege.

How about some round house kicks? That covers all directions.
