Humour is subjective versus Addison and Kundera

This paper considers a response to the claim that humour is subjective, as meant by the average undergraduate. The claim conveys that different individuals find different things funny and that there is no fact of the matter which determines one party to be right. I present a response from Milan Kundera, which seems much influenced by Joseph Addison, albeit perversely so: when these people appear to be laughing at something else, they are not even laughing.
