Yes, and then she can be a boring third wheel that the audience will hate, and wonder why they have to hear, or see so much of. I'm not saying there great but i'm saying she needs the comedy, it makes the sadder moments that much better for an audience. And with a role like amneris that can so easily be ignored/problematic, we really can't afford to do that.
Last amneris suffers from low self esteem, what do alot of people with low self esteem do? They try to be funny to get people to notice, pay attention, and love them. This is also the reason for her clothes fixtation. In short yeah, she kinda DOES need to be funny.
