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.

Its unnecessary

Comedy does not follow logic or strict progression, otherwise every single comedian would be doing set up and punchline jokes and Norm MacDonald would have been shot in the head.

Comedy takes different forms for different people. Stop trying to press all comedy into your own personal mold.

The original joke is funny, personally I think imagining cunk saying it is funnier.
