Hey, it's not cool to steal jokes from /r/antiantijokes. I am a mod there (as evident from my username), and don't appreciate this. The joke is hilarious though.

> Hey, it's not cool to steal jokes from /r/antiantijokes.

When is it okay to repeat a joke from the internet and when is it not?

Always and Never, at the same time.
Joke piracy is rampant these days...
I had no idea where this was from. Sadly the guy who sent it to me didn't tell me the joke was under copyright
You never googled the joke to see where it was from?
Who the heck does that, and why???
do you google jokes..?
so many poor poor redditors are going to have trouble feeding their children because of this tragic joke piracy ;(
I'm surprised you think no one on r/antiantijokes stole that joke to put it there
Are you saying you've never told a joke without knowing (or mentioning) the source...?
