i'd argue that at the *least*, you need to be turing complete to understand humor. you need memory to be turing complete.

Related: 'Can you have humor without context'? I can't come up with an example.

nice try said...

svr: context is just a form of memory isnt it?

context \subset memory, no? narrower questions are often easier to answer...
