- Title
Why Can't You Take a Joke? The Several Moral Dimensions of Pilfering a Ha‐Ha.
- Authors
HICK, DARREN HUDSON
- Abstract
This article investigates the moral wrongness of joke theft. Working through a trove of real‐world cases, and using the sitcom The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel as a touchstone, I argue, ultimately, for a pluralist approach, contending that there are several wrongs that may be present in any case of joke theft, but which cannot be reduced to each other and which are collectively irreducible to any sort of "superwrong."
