How prevalent is parallel thought in standup

Insanely common. I've seen a handful of comics locally working out a bit along the lines of gender fluid actually being c*m.

Went on IG the other day, and saw someone else had posted the exact same bit. And it's not the first time I've seen that bit online.

Bottom line, if you're taking about stuff that's heavily discussed in the culture, you better have a unique take, or someone somewhere is working on that bit.

It's good to have takes on common stuff, but it's also cool to see some of the top comics working on stuff that's unique to them or hyper specific. eg: Shane Gillis is working out a bit on the George Washington Museum right now.
