Are humans the only animals that laugh, i.e., for whom there is such thing as humor?

I think I read somewhere that dolphins have been shown to have humor. But I am too lazy to look it up. or maybe some other mammal. there was a recent news report.

It's been said that dolphins are more intelligent than humans because they don't watch tv.

Dolphins don't watch TV because there aren't enough dolphin-centric shows out there. You can only take so many re-runs of Flipper before you're ready to swim in front of a speeding boat.

I'd think dolphins would want to see a replay of the entire 1972 NFL season. Get that on ESPN classic and the rating would skyrocket along the waterfronts of any coastal cities.
