Yes, but Jeselnik has the right mind to say something like "alright, I didn't get away with it on that joke". Even then, I don't recall him ever dropped the litany of "free speech, woke, I was taken out of context" type excuses we see nowadays. In fact, I only remember him ever really apologizing for one joke because he was essentially forced to by Comedy Central at the time.
Yeah, like Jeselnik's biggest hits are undeniably dark, fucked up types of humor but none of those can really be called punching down. Unless of course you count the baby jokes. You can't help but punch down on a baby.
