    A panel takes a group of one liners, and publishes them for publicity purposes. Personally i'm not a fan of one liner gag comedy, so i wouldn't necessarily go and watch a Tim Vine type comedian. That being said a lot of the people on these lists are not one liner comedians, and they are just taking the easiest joke from their set to publish.

    A lot of people on this list would not take that gag as the highlight of their show.

    Virtually all comedians steal.

    Robin Williams was well known for it, to the point some comedy clubs had lights to indicate to on stage comedians that Williams was in the audience. Didn't care, just chucked them some money.
