    I don’t see why it’s necessary to use this format to attribute a person’s joke to another person who writes jokes. Like, the original guy is a humorist. It’s his joke. Why bring Cunk into it? I have nothing wrong with Cunk but this is a weird way to use this format.

      I’m not on xitter so I may read cues wrong but the way I read it, the person who posted the Cunk attribution graphic was basically just saying “lol this reminded me of something Cunk would say.”

      I feel pretty sure that would have crossed my mind too reading that.

        Sure, but it’s also something the Brooks Otterlake account would say. I understand what the meme is doing, I’m saying it’s unnecessary, in the same way these kinds of things do:

        or adding “Nobody:” before your joke.

        Just share the joke.
