I do see a good number of people who defend him saying that "it's just a joke". I'd defend him too, if the joke was actually, you know, funny. What he did there was just not funny or successfully comedic at all, it was just lazy. This is just my belief, but being a hostile asshole is pretty much the lowest form of humor there is, namely because it requires zero effort, zero creativity and zero comedic timing. When he can make me laugh with a visual gag, witty wordplay, great snark, then I'll absolutely take his side, but until then, he's just basically being a lazy jerk.
