Not really, all the confrontations of Nanoha VS. Vita were plagued by jokes save for the first and last ones. It's just that their enemy chemistry was good enough to allow some wisecracking between them xD
Signum and Cypha on the other hand utterly lack such elements. Heck, most of Signum VS. Fate battle were pretty serious during A's and Fate was an adorable 9-year old girl at the time xDU.
I think Justin refer to FORCE's bizzarre brand of humor compared with previous installements of the franchise. They expect that stabbing someone's guts and then throw a joke will make a funny scene. It doesn't

You must know when and how to throw jokes at such moments tough cause the effect is very different. One must be able to get fun at the irony or at least get a sense of dark humour about a grim situation but that's not the case here. The jokes are thrown just for the sake of draw some funny faces and most of the time have nothing to do with what's happening and a such feel forced like Curren doing neko expressions while telling Tohma about the Huckebein's plans, it's not funny.
If you want good jokes in the midst of tragedy then call The Joker he's a friggin master at this. Or if you want to be closer to japanese stuff then call Ryuk from Death Note, it have lots of clever dark humour xD
