The funny thing is, I think Hopkins did have a sense of humor. At least, I like to think there was a glint in his eye when he complained about Algernon Swinburne's notoriously saccharine stanzas about babies (specifically, that Swinburne's "rot about babies" (qfm) would make anyone side with King Herod).
