satirists punch at powerful people all the time.. the powerful people generally think satirists are all assholes..

You mean individuals or corporate entities or political parties? Satire in that regard is weaponised, it doesn't - or shouldn't - go for all comedy, where 'punching' isn't the goal. Unlike this thing which is just a big 'fuck off' dressed up as a stand-up show.
