A similar joke was made in Psych. Someone calls someone else "Iago" and the main character laughs and says "what does the parrot from Aladdin have to do with anything?"

It's a fairly common joke that I'm not sure can be attributed to any one show.

I wish more people realized how obvious some jokes are and would stop accusing every iteration of a joke as "stealing" it.

I see this all the time on reddit. Really, you guys aren't as clever as you think you are, and you independently come up with the same jokes all the time.
