Certain things are set pieces and then they come to life. I am sure that Yogi Berra as not the first person to say, "It's like Deja Vu all over again." Nevertheless, we just like the enigmatic catcher so darn much that we attribute hackneyed jokes to him.
Its just like Jello.
"Too late or still too soon too soon to make lots of bad love and there's no time for sorrow. Run around, run around with a hole in your head 'til tomorrow."
