Its humor
Definition -
Tongue-in-cheek humour in fiction often takes the form of gentle parodies. Such stories seem to abide by the conventions of an established serious genre, while in reality, they gently poke fun at some aspects of that genre. A tongue-in-cheek work still relies on these conventions and is not the same as a farce. Good examples of films that are made in a tongue-in-cheek way are An American Werewolf in London, Scream, or True Lies. Note that these films are still faithful to their genre (horror and spy, respectively) and are not out-and-out parodies such as Airplane!

I think it tends to be more on the "dark humor" side, with a bit of whimsy thrown into the mix so you can say whatever is humorous with a "wink" of the eye; don't take what is said too seriously...

it's a type of sarcastic humor; quite harmless, usually when making fun of oneself, or something many people take seriously.
in a joking manner, playful... :)

Isn't it hard to tell a joke with your tongue stuck in a bum?

I think it is a way to keep from laughing.
