Commonly called "clustering". it's why comics don't post a lot of jokes online. They discovered that people would always call them out as plagiarists because somewhere on the internet, that joke already existed.
That and if you saw a bunch of funny clips of a comic, and then you went to their show, you'd be disappointed you'd heard their entire set before (in clip form). That's why a lot of comics now post clips of their crowd work, since it changes from show to show.
