You’re absolutely right, and I agree.

When I started learning the craft of roast comedy, this was drilled into me. You never ever ever punch down. Not under any circumstances. That makes you a bully. But punching up? That makes you a fucking hero. If you’re going to roast someone, first you have to acknowledge that they are better than you in some way, and if you can’t do that, you don’t touch them.
