I'm not 100% sure it is "legal", but I had the pleasure of flying on southwest with them half-singing half-joking throughout the mandatory safety stuff.. it was a pretty hilarious change of pace. Unfortunately, Southwest, though fairly cheap for where I go, has 2 stops minimum no matter what where as everywhere else can make it 1 stop

Had a similar experience on Southwest when flying from Phoenix to Vegas.
I initially cringed as the attendant started talking on the the mic and making a joke, as any world weary traveler probably would. I soon found myself laughing as the rest of the crew joined in with mimes and singing and call backs. It was definitely one of the best flight experiences I've ever had.

My most fun safety announcement was on Alaska Air when the flight steward came on an said something like "This is a very exciting flight, as it's the very first flight for our two pilots." (Everyone starts getting nervous at this point.) "Captain John and Captain Jane, please stand up and wave to your passengers" at which point two (unaccompanied, perhaps) kids stand up with huge grins and wave to the other passengers.
It was a good way to get the attention of everyone before we could all go back to ignoring the rest of the safety instructions.
