Some of the most esoteric light bulb jokes in the world can be found at the Christian Think Tank’s website :

Please note : some or all of these require knowledge, often of rather obscure things; the first section deals with Bible scholars and the like, some of the others are more philosophy oriented. Half the fun is learning why they’re funny…
Here’s a couple good ones :
How many archaeologists does it take to change a light bulb?
Actually they are afraid to do it…they think that if they remove the top layer bulb, that they will disturb the (presumed) earlier bulbs that are screwed in beneath the one that is currently showing…
How many biblical ‘minimalists’ does it take to change a light bulb?
Grow up, guy–it never WAS a unitary light bulb, it was only a pack of fireflies flying randomly around the room until a fan cut on and they all started flying in synchronization…
How many Roger Penrose’s does it take to change a light bulb?
I don’t know the exact number, but I am sure it must be some rather elegant prime…
How many Quantum physicists does it take to change a lightbulb? (version two)
Depends on the room size–you need to fill the room first with blind-folded scientists. Then, upon a signal, they all remove the blindfolds and look toward the general area of the ‘old’ bulb. Then, when the waveform collapses, whoever is CLOSEST to the newly ‘congealed’ bulb, grabs it, and WITHOUT blinking, makes the change. Also, this procedure MAY require one additional physicist to remove a dead cat from the room
How many monists does it take to change a light bulb?
Don’t be silly, there is only ONE monist…
How many Hegelians does it take to change a light bulb?
None-the bulb is just at one dialectical pole between ‘bright’ and ‘dark’–it will eventually synthesize these into at least some dim glow for us…
My absolute favorites from there :

to change a light bulb?
How many leaders of the Jesus Seminar does it take to change a light bulb?
I really don’t think they can do it anymore; but then again, maybe I am too cynical.
Plus, I’ll add some more that are sort of specialized (but I’ve seen their variants around). These all relate to the nine campuses of the UC (University of California) system :
How many UC Berkeley students does it take to change a light bulb ?
76 - 1 to change, 50 to protest the bulb’s right not to be changed, and 25 to hold the counter-protest.
How many UCLA students ?
One - she holds the bulb and the world revolves around her.
How many UCSF students ?
Three - One to change it and two to crack under the pressure.[SUP]1[/SUP]
How many UC Santa Cruz students ?
21 - one to change it and 20 to share the experience.
How many UC San Diego students ?
Two - one to mix the margaritas, and the other to call the electrician.
How many UC Davis students ?
None - Davis doesn’t have electricity.[SUP]2[/SUP]
How many UC Santa Barbara students ?
Only one, but he gets six credits for it. [SUP]3[/SUP]
How many UC Riverside students ?
Riverside looks better in the dark.
How many UC Irvine students ?
Irvine looks even better than Riverside in the dark.
And, since they’re adding a new campus, I guess I should come up with one for it, so :
How many UC Merced students does it take to screw in a light bulb?
None - they just walk around that room and wait for the bulb to come back on in the Spring.[SUP]4[/SUP]

Notes (In case you didn’t know) :
[SUP]1[/SUP] UCSF is a very highly-ranked med school; this is pretty close to the drop-out rate.
[SUP]2[/SUP] Davis used to be the Berkeley Agricultural Extension until the 1920’s; and yes, the dorms are next to the cow barn.
[SUP]3[/SUP] UC Santa Barbara (UCSB) is known as University of Chicks, Smokes, and Beer.
[SUP]4[/SUP]A controversial aspect of the new campus is that it will be built amongst several vernal pools. (And if you don’t know what those are you can look it up.)
