The setup is a classic riddle, but instead of a funny answer, the joke implies that a bunch of kids were involved in a kidnapping and forced to change a lightbulb, which they failed to do. The humor comes from the dark and unexpected turn of the punchline, where the basement remaining dark implies something more sinister than just a simple task.
