Regarding the sentence: Nothing defuses a tense or embarrassing situation like a little chuckle.
Let me make this straight: Usually people making themselves into such an embarrassing situation feel depressed and intend to make a silly chuckle or smile to the other people on the scene. And

No, Osee, I'm sorry, you have it completely backwards.
This means: If you find yourself in an embarrassing situation, there is nothing that is as effective as defusing it as a little humor/a smile/a little laugh/a chuckle.
Also, you can feel embarrassed without feeling depressed. You just feel a little embarrassed.
