No Joke?!

This thesis explores the functions and benefits of humour and comedy in the field of design by examining three different objects for their humorous and comedic aspects.

Can we recognise humour and comedy as an integral part of a designed object? If so, how do these aspects manifest themselves in the design and use of the product? How do these objects achieve their comedic effect, and what principles underlie them?

This project aims to deepen the understanding of the meaning of humour and comedy in the context of design. It focuses on analysing humorous and comedic elements in designed objects and uses scientific methods to uncover these mechanisms.
