‘Is duplication the sincerest form of flattery?’ – ‘Econsultancy’ Blog
The latest ‘Econsultancy’ blog post is titled “Is duplication the sincerest form of flattery?”.
Danny Chadburn says, “On one of my regular rambles through Wikipedia, I recently came across the Joke Theft entry. It’s an interesting read covering joke origins, examples of some fiery comedic feuds, and a South Park reference. I think approximately 43% of Wikipedia articles include a South Park reference.
It discusses how, as the popularity of comedy increased in the 80s and 90s, the first person to tell a joke on some form of media became the one associated with it”.
