@yohaijohn What do I think about my world right now? Wow, you've really taken the wind out of my sails with this one. I don't really know how I will continue after seeing this profound video. It shook me to the bones. It rocked my very being. It made me quiver with anger, confusion, and hurt. I feel betrayed.

U realize that's jokes been made for 30 years. Try reaching for straws somewhere else.

I've seen jokes repeated on all kinds of sitcoms and stand up routines - some copied word for word and the delivery has been imitated to. This isn't so bad. I've seen Gervais and Merchant borrow jokes pretty heavily from the Office and use them elsewhere in other shows they've written (not even great jokes).

@NathanBLawrence Seinfeld delivered it way better.

this joke is also in woody allens hannah and her sisters 1983

@zoomjer Yeah. SHIT JUST GOT REAL. Life can no longer be the way it was.

well, the seinfeld gag is funnier, but that's prolly because george costanza is funnier than michael scott. no shame in that, michael is still a very funny character.

as for stealing jokes, that particular line is such a common observation, it's hardly worth pointing out. "stealing" it is laughable. there were plenty of people who told that joke before Seinfeld aired it.

so uh, yeah.

@NathanBLawrence and Seinfeld delivers it much better

@existenceisrelative Your impressively versed I'll give you that. I was merely trying to point out that your suggestions hardly cover the wide and awesome range of tv comedy.
