nope.. his comedy is highly sadistic in the manner of the Joker, Pennywise and others.. they see themselves as comedians but they are a terrifyingly cruel force.. here's an example:

some villain has a hero by a cliff, stops to gloat - "this reminds me of a joke - a guy walked off a cliff and went splat.. it's funny because somebody died", villain proceeds to push hero off the cliff - this is a comedic line but dark as all hell, the character is displaying sadism and it highlights how evil they are rather than detract from it.

contrast with a scene where an evil overlord is acting serious, then phones someone and orders a pizza - all the overlord's grand scheme and power is lost as he is in a silly situation.. it is not the comedy of the character that matters, it's the comedy of the situation.
