Line 3:
Some tropes reference things that ''really'' should not be played for laughs, but for some reason often are. One of the consequences of [[Sadist Show|comedies using schadenfreude]] is that they can tread on [[Trigger/Analysis|subjects that are quite serious]] to some people.
* [[Black Comedy Rape]]: ''[[George Carlin|I can PROVE to you that rape is funny! Picture Porky Pig raping Elmer Fudd!]]''
Line 77 ⟶ 76:
* In [[The Nostalgia Critic]]'s review of ''[[The Room]]'', Mark tells Johnny about a girl he knew who was dating several guys at the same time. One of them finds out and beats her up so badly that she ends up in hospital. Johnny's response is to laugh and say "What a story, Mark"! The critic comments on this, saying "That's not funny, you sick fuck".
* Nicko Heap in ''[[Septimus Heap]]'' often gets criticized for this, havinbg an habit of not understanding the seriousness of a situation.
* During the astronaut tryouts in ''[[The Right Stuff]]'', Alan Shepard frequently mimics 50s comedian [[Bill Dana]]'s Mexican astronaut character [[José Jiménez|"
* In ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'' during the mission on Sur'Kesh, the party crosses paths with a rampaging yahg. Shepard and Garrus can't resist the opportunity to crack jokes about the last yahg they encountered, which teammate Liara T'soni {{spoiler|replaced as Shadow Broker}} after she and Shepard killed him. Liara does not find their wisecracking funny:
{{quote|'''Shepard:''' Watch out, there goes the next {{spoiler|Shadow Broker}}.
