It is actually not that brief, being much longer than the scene that precedes it.

Why is the scene with peter and the musicians in Romeo and Juliet?
It's called comic relief. Shakespeare almost always gave a bit for the comedian and it was always at a very dark part of the play, whether the comedian was a drunken porter, a gravedigger, or, as here, a foolish servant. It tended to relieve the tension a bit for a short while, making it easier to take the misery that follows. Othello has no comic relief and it is very difficult and dark.
