Dara O'Brien.

Are you trying saying the quote is misattributed? Because it's from Tim Minchin's comedy act/poem "Storm" [1].

I'm not sure if it was completely original there. It's a relatively common retort now, though I do think that Storm was the first time I recall hearing it.

interesting, Dara o Brien makes the same joke. Can't be bothered to check which came first.

I think comedy trends have fashions. At the time comedians made jokes about religion, now they make jokes about trans people, or about being "canceled". When you narrow the range of jokes you might increase the joke collision rate.
