It was incredibly inappropriate and it wasn't funny at all. But it was sarcastic and it was trolling. He thinks he's an insult comic when he's just a cruel asshole who never puts himself in front of people who'd dare to boo.

Trolling gets no one anywhere ever. It's designed to destroy discussion, and it does so every day, every where on the internet.
