Line 1: {{trope}} [[File:~~funny_aneurym_moment_twin~~funny aneurym moment twin-towers-w-~~circle_4194~~circle 4194.jpg\|link=Mortadelo Yy ~~Filemon~~Filemón\|frame\| 1993: [[Funny Background Event]]<br />2001: "Funny Aneurysm" Moment]] {{quote\|''But that joke isn't funny anymore~~<br />~~▼ ''It's too close to home ▲{{quote\|''But that joke isn't funny anymore<br /> It''And it's too ~~close to~~near ~~home<br~~the />bone, ''More than you'll ever know'' ~~And it's too near the bone,<br />~~ ~~More than you'll ever know''~~\|'''[[The Smiths]]''', \|"That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore"}} A scene, joke, or offhand line that was originally meant to be funny or light-hearted but which, due to traumatic events in future episodes of a show or in [[Reality Subtext\|real life]], now makes the viewer cringe when it is seen in reruns. Line 16: The inverse of this, where something in real life or more recent canon retroactively makes a lighthearted moment ''funnier'', is [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]. Depending on your sense of humor (particularly your attitudes towards [[Black Comedy]], [[Gallows Humor]] and [[Dead Baby Comedy]]), a "Funny Aneurysm" Moment could [[Actually Pretty Funny\|actually be funny]] in a dark kind of way. In a [[Roger Ebert]] Movie Glossary column, he defines the (related) [[Reality Subtext\|Pentimento Paradigm]]: "Pentimento is when images from an old painting seep through and become visible in a newer picture that has been painted over the old. Thus the relation is when what we know about a filmmaker or actor seeps into our perception of his film work. Example: Any old [[Rock Hudson]] movie now that his private life is no longer private. Being aware of the reality behind the fiction may add to the complexity of the drama ([[Elizabeth Taylor\|Taylor]] and [[Richard Burton (actor)\|Burton]] in "[[Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?]]") or distract from its intentions ([[Woody Allen\|Woody]] and [[Mia Farrow\|Mia]] in "[[Husbands and Wives]]")." The Rock Hudson and ''Husbands and Wives'' examples are definitely "Funny Aneurysm" Moments. There is also [[Harsher in Hindsight]] where the scene that's already tragic, becomes worse because of [[Reality Subtext]] or more recent canon. A joke about jumbo jets hitting skyscrapers published before 2001 will likely be a "Funny Aneurysm" Moment; a ''serious'' plotline about jumbo jets hitting skyscrapers that was published before 2001 is [[Harsher in Hindsight]]. If this is done ''intentionally'', this trope becomes a [[Cerebus Retcon]]. Line 25: Compare [[Too Soon]], [[Dude, Not Funny]], [[Harsher in Hindsight]]. Contrast [[Hilarious in Hindsight]], [[Heartwarming in Hindsight]]. Not be confused with [[Funny Moments (Sugar Wiki)\|Funny Moments]] - which is essentially the opposite, unless a recent event turns it into this trope.
