The problem is one of your assumptions is that the writer of the joke is an elitist. My perception of intent isn't accurate at all times, as I'd assume is the case for most people, but judging from that joke alone I couldn't detect a hint of elitism. It may be that I don't assume that everyone trying to entertain others with humour, even at the expense of others, is merely trying to boost their ego.

Of course, my definition of elitism might differ to yours somehow, though I don't think it should be stretched to include anyone who doesn't share your particular opinion of what proper etiquette is.
