It's not the repeating, it is presenting the thoughts of others as your own
creation.  Plagiarism is lying about the source.   Plagiarism is the verbatim
copying or imitation of the language, ideas, or thoughts of another author and
representing them as one’s own original work.

Which of the above statements is a plagiarism and where did I plagiarize from?

When a joke is retold there is rarely any presumption that the teller created
the joke.
