As someone who has used this strategy for about 40 years, it usually is a great way to handle a tough situation. However, occasionally, it is THE WORST POSSIBLE WAY to deal with a tough situation.
Learn which is which and proceed with caution.
Especially if you’re the kind of person to use humor to deal with traumatic events. Be VERY CAREFUL with showing signs of trauma in front of the wrong crowd.

As a late bloomer learning to incorporate this tactic, I think I needed this advice
Funny to who? Them? You? To the audience?
To get out of an awkward situation I just stare people down.
