The shoe joke that he took from Dimetri Martin was way too on the nose. The only thing that he really changed (not counting his tendency to extend something through repetition) was changing his show size from a 10 to a 12. Even the shoe size that was too small (9) was exactly the same

@TheBanshee90 When a musician does a cover of another musician's song, the original musician still gets paid, though. If a more successful comedian takes someone else's joke and tries to pass it off as original, that is taking food out of someone's mouth.

@JuanPeron007 His version of the shoe that's too small joke is "way more funny"? All he did was repeat it over and over again and then walk around the stage. Demetri Martin nailed with the deadpan way that he said "sure, just cut off my toes," especially because it's so out of left field. Dane Cook took a tight 30 second joke and drew it out to two minutes just to mug and kill the rhythm.

@TheBanshee90 And when XYZ band plays ZYX's song, do they tale credit for writing it, or do they acknowledge the original writer?

@TheBanshee90 The Louis CK ones don't bother me, because they're generic enough that they could be written by anyone, and the only one of the three that was really on the nose was a joke that they both stole from Cosby. The difference between the accusation of stealing from Louis CK and the accusation of stealing from Demetri Martin is that for the former, the jokes were similar, but still different; whereas the Demetri Martin joke is almost exactly the same verbatim. The only real difference is that Demetri Martin wanted a 10 and Dane Cook wanted a 12. In both of their jokes, the salesperson even came back with a 9. That is too close to be a coincidence. Re: one minute out of an hour special, so why put it in to start with? His fans would have loved to see him walk across the stage and repeat himself over and over again with jokes that weren't someone else's. Heck, he could have just repeated the punchline a few more times on one of his other jokes, and he would have filled in the two minutes (the original is less than a minute, though, because Demetri Martin only says the punchline once) just like that. That is the "just the tip" defense basically.
