Uh.... That sounds awful and downright scary to be honest.
Sounds like terrible people. That's not punching up, that's punching down to a point that people could easily take it seriously and find them life threatening. If that's found funny, that says something more about these people making these kinds of jokes and the people who enjoy it.
Punching up or punching down, what is the matter? If you're making a joke at another human being's expense you're in the wrong no matter the individual. Comedy, if it is to be enjoyed honestly, cannot be moralized. I generally dislike edgy bastards, but if we look at all the great comedians that's all they ever were. I'm all for discussing the morality of comedy, but really, the punching up/down distinction always struck me as dishonest.
