Yep, I think it does. Comic relief is a great "pressure valve release" for iffy situations.

Obviously it may depend on who you're dealing with. Some people are looking for trouble and if you poke fun or make it comical, even if it's not directed at them, it may give fuel to thier fire. In those cases, use your wit to give a sly 'no thank you' or 'i'll keep that in mind' kind of answer that doesn't show any judgement towards them and they'll probably leave you alone.
But if they're generally harmless or non-agressive, yes, make a joke. It helps diffuse any negativity or power they were trying to gain in the first place.

Just stand your ground and don't be apologetic. Your friends will respect you for being yourself. Those that don't are actually jealous of you because you are stronger than them. I never ever give in to peer pressure. You just need to be confident.

Having a sense of humor is one trait in a group of the traits known as "psychological hardiness," which some people just seem to have.
Go for it laugh, don't take life to seriously.

Neither! Stand for what you believe. If you don't your going to fall for anything. Then you'll just be another statistic. Give a good fight, keep your eye on the prize.

If that works for you. Comedy can be like judo, it can deflect an issue just enough for you to avoid it, but without full-fledged confrontation.
I'm getting so zen.

I think so. Comedy can throw other people off their game. Whatever it takes for you to avoid being pressured, use it.
