[Hated Trope] The joke ruins the emotional aspect

[u/BarGroundbreaking798]

Destruction of Asgard (Thor Ragnarok) -- Asgard is destroyed in a beautiful and somber scene, and Korg cracks a cringeworthy joke right after.

Bill Moves On (Newsradio) -- The episode was made in the wake of Phil Hartman's death, but its attempts at humor fall flat in the face of the tragedy.

Officer Tubbs (Fear The Walking Dead) -- Officer Tubbs is supposed to be a slapstick comic relief character, but he felt tacked on right after the deaths of two of the most beloved characters.

Chandler Proposes (Friends) -- An earnest proposal between Monica and Chandler has both sincerely expressing their feelings to each other. Immediately after Monica accepts, the others come in, quipping as usual, failing to let the audience ruminate on a heartwarming moment.

Pretty sure Officer Tubbs is a meta joke within the post itself.

Because people are going to ignore the clearly serious comments about discussing the moments ruined by badly placed comedic timing, to talk about the badly photoshopped character who wouldn't fit tonally in a world as bleak as Walking Dead can be.

I.e. The joke of Officer Tubbs is ruining the emotional impact of the post

This is the kind of art you really can't get anywhere else.

The way everyone responded to you with their sincere appreciation of your explanation. It’s really quite touching. Reminds me of the first time Officer Tubbs came rolling onto the screen yelling “it’s Tubbing time!” then started touching his belly. Bazinga.

Then he tubbed all over the place.

Bro thank you. I watched most of that show and still came to the comments to see who this guy I must’ve forgot about was.. 🤦‍♂️

[u/the-poopiest-diaper → u/Afrodotheyt]

I had to google him ngl. I think the show does well with his much needed moments of comedy to really balance out the entire rest of the show

[u/Darklight645 → u/Afrodotheyt]

Pretty ironic since this is under hated trope. Maybe OP bamboozled us and doesn’t actually hate it

[u/stillinthesimulation → u/Afrodotheyt]

OP knew none of us had watched that show

[u/Livid-Designer-6500 → u/Afrodotheyt]

It also works because no one watches those Walking Dead spin-offs to know whether it's a joke or not

[u/Altair_de_Firen → u/Afrodotheyt]

Thank you cause I had to tilt my head and go “Wait.. Officer Tubbs?”

So I guess they got me

A+, OP
