In Act 3, Scene 1, Bottom's head is transformed into that of an "ass" (a.k.a. donkey). Bottom doesn't know what's happened to him, so he's really confused; he thinks hes being punked. He complains to us: "I see their knavery. This is to make an ass of me, to / fright me, if they could" (3.1.114-115).
Of course, when Bottom accuses his friends of trying to "make an ass" of him, it's funny to us because we know something that Bottom doesn't—he literally has been made into an ass.
