This is what people don't get about punching up vs punching down in comedy. Those who say "a good joke is a good joke" regardless of which direction it's punching.

But you literally can't make a good joke when you're punching down. When people will listen to you after 5 minutes of weak-willed "research", there's no motivation to actually craft a good joke or a strong message. There's no reason to be true or vulnerable.

You can almost perfectly split Chappelle's good and bad bits down the line of punching up vs down because of this.
