Eh, Carlin also famously defended jokes about sexual assault, so maybe he's not the best role model for comedians punching up...

I think you are referring to this bit:

I can prove to you that rape is funny. Picture Porky Pig raping Elmer Fudd. See? Hey, why do you think they call him "Porky," eh? I know what you're going to say. "Elmer was asking for it. Elmer was coming on to Porky. Porky couldn't help himself, he got a hard-on, he got horny, he lost control, he went out of his mind."

A lot of men talk like that. A lot of men think that way. They think it's the woman's fault. They like to blame the rape on the woman. Say, "She had it coming, she was wearing a short skirt." These guys think women ought to go to prison for being cock teasers: don't seem fair to me.

Don't seem right, but you can joke about it.

I read the entire bit. I do think he is roasting the rapey jocks, men who always deflect blame for their actions, the whole time.

Especially for the 90's where people idolized the Michael Douglas type rapey finance Bros this is (still) punching up.

If this is what you were talking about, can't follow your logic.
