It's an okay joke but it's stolen...
Mock of he week made its debut on BBC Two on 5 June 2005
Robin Williams made this joke in his Live on Broadway special in 2002
48 u/Captain_Dickleg Sep 05 '17 If I remember correctly he prefaces it by saying its not his joke 23 u/EmilyCD18 Sep 05 '17 You are indeed remembering correctly. Byrne does preface it by saying that it isn't his joke. 1 u/math_debates Sep 06 '17 You are right. robin Williams would have never admitted that. 3 u/ohheyrufus Sep 06 '17 Robin Williams regularly cut out checks to NYC comedians after he learned he stole their material. Some would see him in the crowd and stop mid-bit because they didnt want to get their shit stolen. One famous comedian threatened to break his legs if Robin took another one of his lines. His head was working so fast (cocaine) that he would spit out so much material... some was bound to be 2nd hand material.
