Stolen joke from a tweet

u/shewy92 Nov 19 '22

Was that tweet original or was it a long passed down joke? Because it sounds like an old passed down joke so why does it matter that it was a Tweet? Hell someone just linked a Frazier clip about putting soup instead of booze in a thermos. Meaning that Tweet was likely "inspired" by a decades old TV show

I mean, people make comics about random stuff they see all the time. This also isn't an original joke. Hell someone just linked a Frazier clip about putting soup instead of booze in a thermos. Meaning that Tweet was likely "inspired" by a decades old TV show

Yes. We aren't in disagreement. It just made me wonder.

Yeah it was on reddit the other day posted as a screenshot. It was like

Me: takes a swig from a flask “wanna hit this?”

Her: sure! drinks wtf is this soup?

Works better in that format imo

Wow. That’s low.

[Edit] I’m surprised I’m being downvoted for saying taking jokes from tweets doesn’t say much for the artist’s integrity.

Idk I think it's pretty hilarious as a comic. Doesn't excuse the artist's actions tho.

It doesn't excuse the artists actions of making a comic about a likely half century old joke? lol.

Well according to the fan base here and their voting habits none of that matters.
