Sure, the game is quite dark at times; yet the game has so many interactions that make me roll my eyes while smiling (Speak with Animals is responsible for so many of them) that a foolish idea like letting Volo doing...well, anything, does not sound so foolish anymore.
Yeah, that's how I took it. A lot of the things going on feel a lot like the DM writing a serious story, the players absolutely goofing off while playing and the DM shrugging and running with it.

"How about we grab an ice pick and just pull the tadpole out?" is absolutely something I can hear players say.
