The character in question is definitely heinous enough for the show, and is taken seriously. I fail to see how a character taken seriously is Played for Laughs. However, he was shown hugging a sentient vine, which, to me, is a Pet the Dog moment. That said, I'll give a weak no because PEs are never in that trope.
