I can't stand that woman. -- nm - Loyola Jan 20, 07:37
probably, see also: pretty much every other comedian out there. -- nm - znufrii Jan 20, 07:36
I expected a Lee Mack joke in there, I think he's had the most jokes stolen. -- nm - LMS Jan 20, 07:30
There is nothing new under the sun. -- nm - emoticripple Jan 20, 07:21
meh. I would say they're different enough, but I don't think it's blatant. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 20, 07:19
Actually, that's pretty compelling. I do wonder, though, how prevalent this is in comedy. I would bet it happens - Jim Jan 20, 07:17 16
- It reminds me of the things that crop up from time to time when so and so accuses Coldplay of ripping off some obscure band -- (edited) - Reagen Jan 20, 07:34 5
  - Wow. U2 went from bigtime to obscurity pretty fast. -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 07:42 3
    - they did a FREE album and people were pissed that they got a FREE album -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 07:45
    - 25 years since Achtung Baby. -- nm - Reagen Jan 20, 07:44 1
      - All That You Can't Leave Behind was their last great release. 2000 - Spawn Jan 20, 07:48
  - Halftime at SuperBowl 50 Coldplay I think you mean -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 07:35
- There's also the possibility that she bought the jokes from them. -- nm - Ender Jan 20, 07:28 1
  - Yeah, I was wondering - especially about the produced pieces, the commercials. - Jim Jan 20, 07:31
- almost all comedy is variations of jokes that have all been told before. -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 07:25 5
  - Unless it was written by George Carlin. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 20, 07:26 4
    - Steven Wright is pretty unique too. - Mel Profit Jan 20, 07:35
    - Fuck that. I'm getting *in* the plane! -- nm - David Jan 20, 07:29 1
      - "Tell most people that an Invisible Man who rules everything exists and they believe you. Tell them that the paint is wet, people have to touch it to - Mel Profit Jan 20, 07:34
    - he certainly had a different perception on a lot of jokes, which made him more unique. -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 07:28
- That first joke is one I've heard multiple women say in social settings. - David Jan 20, 07:22 1
  - Agreed on all. Also, I'm gonna wager the poster wasn't her idea. I can't imagine she'd be given that kind of control for her first film. - Jim Jan 20, 07:25
