Existentialist Joke

I never could understand this one but strangely I find it very funny (if anybody wants to explain it to my poor sorry and ignorant self feel free to do so)!

Yes I do but I guess the joke has to have a bit of sense somewhere in it!

I just found it funny that he was laughing all alone at his joke, I guess you had to be there indeed.

i think it could be that existentialists believe that everythig is subjective to the indivdual's way of seeing something. Everyone is responsible for there own thoughts and feelings and wh gives them those thought and feelings
one just changes a lightbulb because it needed changed.. the other goes on and on about it in a scientific way. Maybe not right but the only thing that made sense to me.
Quantum physics joke must be
Who's there?

Why 2?, if the first guy was an existentialist couldnt he have changed the bulb and also had the perspective of the 2nd guy (also a existentialist) = a one man job.
