I think there are many instances where what the Buddha said would have sounded humorous or sarcastic to an outsider. However I don’t believe that he said such things with the intention of making people laugh. He said such things to get his point across or more often to get another thinking or to break a wrong view point one had. And mostly it is meant for a specific person. So for someone else hearing it, it can sound funny.
