just in case it’s helpful, US legal writing (which of course is a different context) would permit “hilarious[]”

once wrote this description of a boorish character in a short story: “He thought ‘always a bridesmaid, never the bride’ was a rule about who he should hit on at weddings. He didn’t always follow the rule.”
