Is it normal for a person to repeat something they just heard on tv or video?

Sometimes when I watch TV or a commercial, I repeat what people say for no reason. I don't know why. And sometimes youtube vid too. I don't get it. I heard that our minds have some type of copying capabilities. Is this what's happening here?

    Sometimes I say "because you're worth it" as a sort of sarcastic comment, I guess you could say, because in certain situations it's funny.

    Those adverts really are so stupid, though.

    I sometimes do it because I live alone and (most people probably aren't going to understand this) but sometimes you just need to say something. I don't know why. Just for the sake of talking, I suppose.

    I'm constantly calling things "villian" because of an advert that was on TV here. I can't watch the advert without repeating, "Cook, you villain". It just makes me laugh. I like to amuse myself.

      Aww! As unofficial spokesperson for these inanimate objects which you constantly call "villain", I've made it my job to constantly call *you* villain, just because these poor "things" can't even defend themselves.:P

      Ha!>:P
