Columbia University Valedictorian steals jokes from Patton Oswalt ((Oswalt's site))
Did Valedictorian Brian Corman pull a Dane Cook and steal a joke from Comedian Oswalt?
From Popeater, ((Corman, a political science major, told the story as if it was from first-hand experience. After catching wind of the plagiarism, Oswalt sarcastically tweeted: "Congrats to Columbia University valedictorian Brian Corman! Great speech." ))
Owalt should know because he made the joke a couple of years back.
Here's Oswalt joke. The only difference is Brian replaces Romulans with Klingons.
Yes, the joke is very funny and Oswalt is correct. Sulu fires the phasers.
Corman did issue an apology to the comedian. From Popeater.com, ((On his website, Oswalt said Corman "flat-out admitted his thievery, his stupidity," but that the gaffe opens up much larger questions about the former student and, furthermore, the academic standards at Columbia University. ))
Way to start your career by ripping off someone else, Mr. Corman.

What a weirdo.
In some small way, this feels like vindication for that rejection letter Columbia sent me all those years ago.
Semaj, did you read Patton's entries that came before that. It has been a banner few weeks for the thievery on his part.
Amber: Lol, I really hope you got a kick out it even more so then. I have to wonder how he thinks he can get away with it? This is the internet age you really can't get away with it.
MC: I'm watching the video right at this very moment. I just got through the Physics for Poets bit stolen by Nick Madson. This guy is really a bigger asshole than Brian Corman.
