Waallaikum sallam waramatullahi wabarakatuhu
According to a narration giving by Jabir bin Abdullah (Radiya Allahu Anhu) who said: “The eyes of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) used to turn red when giving Khutba, he used to raise his voice and used to become very angry; it was as if he were an army Warner”.
This means the person should to be serious about what his saying, so there's no need for the imam to make fun because khutba is all about delivery a message.
And Allah knows the best
