Conceptually:
Use orchestral caricature.
Low bass:
short “tuba.”
High responses:
light “clarinet.”
Middle chords:
banjo/guitar-like dry comping.
At mock-dramatic moment:
suddenly lush pedal and overly serious legato harmony.
Then release pedal completely.
Return to dry playful world.
The humor comes partly from touch contrast.
