This is perfect for humorous exaggeration.

Imagine:

cheerful tonal phrase.

Suddenly:

an overly mysterious augmented chord.

Then diminished suspense.

Perhaps a tiny whole-tone flourish.

Pause.

Back to an extremely simple F-major bounce.

The joke is:

the harmony briefly behaves as if a major dramatic crisis occurred—

when nothing serious happened at all.
