[she makes an agitated noise.] I'm not good at blending in.
[she holds up her hands, suddenly excited.]
But! But I have learned that the one thing that sets me apart is that I'm considered to be very funny. So by using my natural gift for comedy, I will surely keep the natives off guard while we plan out our strategies.

The point is, anything can be funny if you're confident saying it. Setting you up for a trick only had humor in the fact that you weren't expecting it. This isn't to say you could do anything in that manner and everyone would find it hilarious, but it's good to keep in mind.
Just remember, sweetheart. Confidence will get you anywhere.

[CONFETTI!]
You're going to be just fine, darling.
