deadpanned
Joked without smiling
Deadpanned is the past tense of deadpan, meaning to deliver something—usually humor—with a completely expressionless face and flat tone: She deadpanned the punchline so perfectly that half the audience missed the joke.
The effect relies on contrast between serious delivery and absurd content.
