Context is everything.

To American audiences, that's obviously satire. Standard fare for the actor and the host. It's definitely, deliberately, over the top and uncomfortable in a Sascha Baron-Cohen kind of way, but we know when we are making fun of ourselves. The combination of exceptionalism with schadenfreude is always ugly, and gross exaggerations of both, well, satire.

Outside of the US, where the players aren't as well known...maybe it's not clear satire. Where folks are quick to judge (often rightfully) American bluster...yeah, it makes him and the studio audience sound like colossal jerks, and people might add it to their mental list of examples proving that Americans suck.

But what does that have to do with the UK? :)
