Often making a joke about something that is awkward is the best way to deal with it. I'd rather be laughing than feeling awkward.

It's true that sometimes people are surprised by a joke in a tense situation, but most times they are relieved that you're ok with it.

The danger in humor that hides awkwardness is that sometimes it's hiding the truth. So sometims it can get in the way of good communication.
