What 2loot3boot said. A tort (what the "tortious intent" refers to) is a specific action that violates someone's legal rights. If I take your car, I've committed a number of torts (civil theft, conversion -- treating your car like it's mine, etc.) Making fun of someone does not violate their legal rights in a way that creates a tort. They could claim that he's libeling them, but he wouldn't be doing the recording **for the purpose of libeling them** on poal, so it would still fail.
