I would seriously challenge that assertion. All jokes have an author and originator. If it changes or 'grows' it's because a new author is taking the existing creation and embelishing/altering it.
The fact that you see "generica" where I see human creativity explains much Arvon. Comedy writing is an artform. One that pays well if you write for a sitcom for example.
