Bashir is fully aware just how hilarious he is (very) and how hilarious he's planning to be (extremely). Getting ready to go out for a show is just that - he doesn't tease any more than usual, doesn't bother with the remote, just gets dressed and fusses a little over the Doctor.

He's perfectly well behaved right up until they've settled in the cab, turned the first corner, and then he discretely presses the button on the remote. The lowest setting and not for long, either.
