I don't think it does. In fact, I think rather the opposite. When humour merely expresses ill-will, it doesn't penetrate too well.

A few years ago, that was the model used with actors. Now it is the method with politicians.

I wouldn't show up to be the butt of that sort of humour. It has to make me laugh for it to be worth getting dressed up.
