People don't generally try to record plays. And your clips wouldn't go viral even if it did, a clip from a scene out of context doesn't mean much.

Whereas a joke is very shareable, and stuff that pushes the edge can go super viral, especially when taken out of context -- risking Twitter/media backlash. So both the rewards and risks are WAYYY higher for standup.
