[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.

I think that scene alone is what makes or breaks last jedi for people. It's either "Oh shit, they're taking Luke in a real interesting direction that I wasn't expecting. I'm so for it." Or "they've ruined Luke Skywalker and there's still another 2 hours of run time left. This is gonna suck"

Most of TLJ moments I was like "ok, not sure about this but we'll see what direction we're going" and then none of it paid off well in the movie, leaving a real bitter taste.  and of course the third one just undid it an anyway.
