I'd say if you feel like the vibe is good, yes. It's worked for me the one time I've tried it. It can show you're confident, easygoing, and ready to actually enjoy your work. I've also used it in academic settings and giving museum tours and it's always been positive, so I think the key is really ssensing the vibe and not overdoing it. But be prepared for this not to work and if it does indeed not work, keep talking like nothing happened otherwise it gets awkward.
I won't hire someone that feels like they'd be annoying to work with. So, dad jokes are probably a "no" unless it's an amazing one. Breezy, neutral humor is a big plus.
