How many existentialists does it take to change a lightbulb?

Two. One to change the lightbulb and one to observe how the lightbulb symbolizes an incandescent beacon of subjectivity in a netherworld of Cosmic Nothingness.

I know Kierkegaard wouldn't -- just not in his nature.

Wouldn't it be simpler to just light a candle?

@dyslexia,
Kundera uses Friedrich Nietzsche's doctrine of the Eternal Return to illustrate Lightbulb-ness; regardless of what the Existentialist may do, the bulb will burn out over and over again for all eternity.
