    Oh, that’s worse than just missing the joke. That’s just one-upping and mistaking it for humour.

      What? No. That’s validating the joke and respecting the foundation he laid. Comedians constantly reference each others jokes. Haven’t you ever had a back and forth with a friend to make people laugh by building a joke on top of theirs?

        That requires telling a new joke, not just rehashing the same one with a materially insignificant difference.

          If you want new material, go to a comic show. On the internet you get varying degrees of jokes ranging from “comic material” to “I had 30 seconds to spare while shitting”

          I appreciate your effort to make a review of my “30 seconds to spare on the shitter” joke but you can save that the next time. Don’t expect every word out of other people’s mouth to be price winning material.
