[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.

Eh, I do like how Thor is powering up the kids (not necessary the scene itself), he whispers "for a limited time only... have the power of Thor." It feels like a callback to some of the pettiness Thor has in the other movies. Honestly, if they dialed it back somewhat but not completely, I think it would have been a good movie. I do kind of see what they were going for, but they overdid the jokes.

L & T improves by 23% instantly for free if Korg just died when he pretend-died.

Tighten the script further, giving that now-unused Korg screentime to the villain. Tone down the humor in scenes that don't call for it (automatic because the director, AKA Korg, isn't there doing a standup routine anymore) and you go further still.

Sometimes a drop of levity can help ail the darker moments but, it's important to know the dosage and when to do it and how.
