Well as long as he keeps ripping off actual comedians, he shouldn't have a problem.
Sorry, that might sound nasty, but unless you've stood in the back of a comedy club watching someone else do your act verbatim (unaware of your
presence, of course), it's really impossible to know just how infuriating it is to see someone claim the cleverness of others as their own. Most of
those jokes I recognized immediately as either word-for-word ripoffs, or the same jokes worded slightly differently from the originals. I have to
assume the ones I didn't recognize right off the bat are of the same ilk. Yes, they're very funny (well, most of them). It's still plagiarism.
