I dunno. It seems like maybe she's a comedy fan and has watched a lot of comic's acts and comedy tv shows and movies, and maybe unconsciously absorbed it. I say "unconsciously" because at this stage, with a rep as a joke thief, she'd be crazy to consciously swipe this stuff (especially because none of these gags are particularly great).
A few years ago I was ragging on liberal former actress Eva Longoria and I wrote what I thought was one of my best jokes ever to her. It's a two part joke -- the first is a lame set-up, the second is the actual punchline.
"Hey Eva, 1995 just called, it wants its cultural relevance back.
Hey Eva, a Hollywood producer called, he wants -- nah, I'm just fucking with ya. No Hollywood producers are calling you."
The joke came so easy to me. It just flowed, effortlessly. It sounded just like a great David Spade gag that I had just made up with my own brain.
I'm not 100% sure about this, but I later realized this joke came too easily, and I'm pretty sure the reason I came up with such a perfect David Spade-esque joke so easily was that it in fact was a David Spade joke from his old Hollywood Minute stuff on SNL, down to the one-two punch structure. I haven't confirmed that, but I'm almost convinced I didn't write this joke. I just remembered it, without realizing it was a memory rather than an invention.
Eh. A lift, but innocently made. It can happen.
But this sure seems to happen to Amy a lot.
Clips of the new "parallel thinking" jokes below -- Content Warning. She's a big ol' raunchy gal.
Oh, note that in the last batch of jokes she was accused of having stolen, she also echoed a John Mulaney gag about blacking out. That bit starts at 8:15 or so. And her joke is a lot like Mulaney's.
I guess she's especially fond of blacking out jokes in other comic's acts.
