I've seen Russell Peters do the joke about white people who don't want to describe someone as black. Did he steal from Mad TV? What's more, the Mad TV joke is that the woman can't see the saleswoman and doesn't want to say she's black. In Amy Schumer's bit, there are two black salesmen and she doesn't want to admit she can't tell them apart.

The two skits have differences, but hey notice how they're also really similar? Like, they even look similar? Is that part of a pattern?

I can't find it right now, but I know I heard an O&A clip where Patrice was saying that the Angry Pirate was an old street joke that he was using for that set, it wasn't his signature bit. I imagine the same thing with Gorilla Mask.

Two jokes he told in his standup that she told in her standup. (This could be confirmed suspicious by watching the special, which I - we - have not done.)

Hiring someone to slap the food out of your mouth joke decades before Kathleen Madigan's special:

Again, it's not that the joke is original, it's that the skit that follows is taken from the next line of that joke.

How many jokes are there in the world about how dating is ultimately about giving a woman money for sex? This isn't a premise that could occur to two women?

Same delivery, hey psych that sentence wasn't done.

There are actual thieves like Carlos Mencia and Denis Leary, and then there is occasional parallel thinking. I've seen Patrice O'Neal doing a Sam Kinison bit once (pantomiming weird movements in the bathroom to avoid touching anything with your bare hands because you're afraid of AIDS.) Shall we posthumously strip him of his genius status?


It's easy to doubt that she's personally stealing a bunch of jokes. I think the issue is that she's gone from being a comedian to being a business, and she has others doing a lot of the heavy lifting.

I want to take a big shit all over her and her filthy shitty success because I don't really think she's that funny and I think her show is often unwatchable. But of course there's male comedy icons who accepted/paid for jokes from fans; that's pretty much the whole story of Bob Hope's stand-up appearances. A lot of working comedians really like Schumer, the problem (IMO) is I don't think she uses her bigger platform to get bigger laughs; Jennifer fucking Lawrence is funnier at a podium.
