Just because you get paid to make others laugh is not an excuse to be a scumbag.

In general his target is hypocrisy and immorality, or bad movies. Stuff people did, not something they are.

This is factually untrue. He roasts people for the height, stereo types on their background and much more. Also

Someone tell Patrick Stewart he's disabled.
