Facetious: treating serious issues with deliberately inappropriate humour;


  • Jovial: Cheerful and friendly
  • Jovian: Is the adjective form of the Roman god Jupiter. It's archaic form is Jovial.
  • Jocular: Humorous
  • Joking: Something done or said to provoke laughter

So, Jovian is the most inappropirate here.
