This is why it takes forever to finish a single campaign. A couple of joke interactions here, the odd polymorph for luls there, but if it becomes excessive, the DM needs to just describe the events with the most monotone and unfunny delivery. Make it utterly unrewarding for players to do things the game was obviously not designed around.
Classic DM move, stopping your players from having fun. That’ll surely make the game better.
Seriously though if everyone in the group isn’t on the same page tone-wise then the DM should talk to the player causing the issue outside of the game like an adult, and if everyone is on a different page from the DM then the DM should either adjust their expectations or move on.
