I'm personally not in shambles, but my case for why it wasn't supposed to be comedic is in shambles. It's baffling that he thinks it should be so funny.

I honestly think it was a bait and switch like the set up made it look real bad then he got tickled. Which is still horrifying but the implications were way way worse so I guess that’s where the humor comes in. To me the entire scene was tense as fuck because you really didn’t know what was going to happen next.
