Yeah it’s subjective but you also have to read the room. Punching down has to have a narrative behind it that makes it seem like it’s not for it to be funny. Comedy, to me at least, is the art of bringing a truth to light.
Edit: Your joke is a decent platitude but it’s only funny with respect to “tell me a joke about starving kids”.
