    Not really, all it requires is theory of mind, social norms, and the ability to anticipate outcomes. Plenty of animals exhibit comedic behavior patterns, but they all know we’re funnier.

      Really? As in non-primates that respond positively to humorous displays? Mostly I just see people anthropomorphising animals doing accidentally funny things, sometimes including legit pain or fear responses.

        It’s so. You can search this stuff, “animals who demonstrate sense of humor” etc.

              No offense, but you’re a random internet person to me. I wasn’t about to go on a wild goose chase through cancerous clickbait sites just on your say-so. Basically, you need to give a more specific source, or I don’t believe you.

                That wisdom cuts both ways, I was only making conversation and you’re … I’m not sure what, actually. Are you trying to make it a debate while doing no legwork of your own?

                  Nothing like that. You made a bold claim, I just responded. Let’s call it a day then, no hard feelings I hope.
