This can use tempo humor.

Loose playful groove.

At one mock-dramatic phrase:

sudden enormous ritardando.

Overly serious fermata.

Silence.

Then the original cheerful tempo snaps back.

Later:

false ending.

Free pause.

Tiny bass pickup immediately restores groove.

The comic effect comes from exaggerated control of time, not merely funny chords.
