reference is made somewhere and no one who would get it is around to hear it, is it actually just an original joke?
Depends if it was made intentionally

the comment was initially just me thinking about how much of my vernacular is just quotes/references to stuff almost no one's seen and certainly fewer remember. I do slightly shift my tone of voice or slightly change my typing style when doing it, but I don't think anyone even recognizes that.
but-- man, now I'm thinkin' about how my way of speaking is able to effect other's. because I have seen a couple of my, like, pseudo-catchphrases be reused by friends, people who definitely do not know that it's from something. and... I dunno, makin me feel kinda weird.
