While she may have been first, I wouldn't necessarily assume it was stolen.

It's unlikely that he even spends enough time on YouTube to have discovered this channel with 24000 subscribers.

I mean, half of his joke was almost line for line the same. The fact that she isn't well known makes it easier. Dane Cook didn't steal jokes from the most popular comedians, it'd be obvious. He stole them from unknown comedians and passed them off as his own. This video made the rounds on Reddit a few years back, obviously she's well known enough that it got caught here.
