Shaun May 
A Philosophy of Comedy on Stage and Screen [EPUB ebook] 
You Have to be There

Ajutor

As far as we know, only human beings have a sense of humour – although chimps might laugh when tickled, and dogs respond similarly in play, Seth Mc Farlane”s fan-base is comprised exclusively of humans. Whilst animals and robots might feature as prominent characters in our favourite comic movies, shows and stand-up routines, we have no reason to suspect that their real-life brethren get the joke.
Drawing on the philosophy of Martin Heidegger, Shaun May attempts to address this issue – suggesting that there is something distinctive about human beings which grounds our ability to make and comprehend jokes. Guiding the reader through a range of examples, including the films of Charlie Chaplin, the stand-up of Francesca Martinez, the TV show
Family Guy and Samuel Beckett”s
Endgame, he demonstrates that in order to get the joke you have to ”be there”.
