*nods* Yes, I think you're right: if all of your jokes are from someone else, and you're praised for being funny, that's a problem—the exact same issue that caused the American President thing to, well, burble. So I agree with you in principle, but again worry about degree. What if 2 out of 3 of the jokes Cassie (or whoever) was being praised for were her own? One out of 3?
Maybe the answer's this: quotes can be used as a joke if the fact that they're an outside joke is part of the joke to (some of? most of?) your readers. Otherwise: not cool.
