The Mostly Normal Show Presents: The Outing of a Joke Thief

From Vimeo: "The Mostly Normal Show (@mostnormshow) with Eric Gruber (@glitch) and Carlos Herrera (@cjherrera) confront a joke thief live on stage.

Armed with the original videos, the Mostly Normal Show invited an unsuspecting joke thief to perform the stolen material, and then ambushed him with the videos and a crowd full of angry/giddy Los Angeles-based comedians.

Interviews with Mack Lindsay (@macklindsay3), Ari Shaffir (@Arishaffir), Eleanor Kerrigan (@ejkerrigan), and Earl Skakel (@EarlSkakel) discuss what kind of person steals jokes, the severity of stealing jokes, and how the whole thing went down.

Good video but they spent about half of it overstating that stealing jokes was wrong. I got the point about 30 seconds in. Now that EVERYONE ON THE PLANET is a video editor we should all review the concepts of "filler" and "cutting-room floor".

You know who was widely known for stealing jokes back in the day?
Robin Williams.

You know who else?
Steve Martin.

It's only wrong if you get caught... and I guess in the age of cell phone cameras and youtube, it's not as easy as it used to be.
