A farce is a comic dramatic work using buffoonery and horseplay, often with improbable situations. The key is that while intended to be funny, farce can also become irritating through exaggerated absurdity. Among the options, 'nonsense' best captures this sense of something ridiculous that may be amusing but can also be annoying. The other options (jaunt, candor, fierce) don't relate to theatrical comedy or absurdity.
