You Have to 'Be There' -- Comedy and Being-in-the-World -- A Phenomenology of Dysfunctional Objects -- A Phenomenology of Anthropic Objects -- A Phenomenology of Anthropic Animals -- A Phenomenology of Physical Impairment.

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 McFarlane'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.
