The word "incel" might not have been coined yet, but at this point, "incel" basically just describes "man who blames women for his inability to attract them", and that's definitely nothing new
This joke doesn't blame a woman for his inability to attract, it implies he's ugly and women are attracted to money.
That is literally placing the blame on the woman
"If she weren't such a gold digger, she'd want me"
The whole, "they want the wrong thing" is incredibly common in incels.
Lol, implying women are attracted to money is not a stereotype that only an incel can attribute. Comedy often pokes fun at stereotypes, of course without trying to offend.
I don't think the joke is ".. literally placing the blame .."
The joke is more light-hearted than outright "blame".
"Incel" is a modern word with negative connotation, that I don't think need be retroactively applied to all things related to rejection or attraction from a woman.
It ruins the joke.
When the joke is "women be gold diggin'", the joke was ruined from the start
