People mock themselves. He's just giving them the door to walk through. It's entirely within your own power to not show the world you're a fool.

I double-dog dare you to go to a Jewish wedding and ask about circumcision. (Or to a tech conference and ask where the women are and why everyone is single.) With good editing, it will be exactly as funny as Cohen's best.

Everyone has a door and can be convinced to go through it. And at any given time, some people are safe targets.

I've been to Jewish weddings and the community themselves make jokes about circumcision. It's not like it's a subject for which they have to be tricked into showing their true colors on like the latent racism and sexism that Cohen exposes in his comedy. In fact, circumcision is the subject of a lot of of traditional Jewish humor.

I suspect you'd get a lot of laughs from the attendees, because after all, most normal people can laugh at themselves, and even at caricatures of themselves. If some of them end up shouting mysoginistic stuff in response, that's on them.
