Bathos

A dramatic moment in a work of fiction that's undercut on purpose, usually for a joke. When used well, it's really funny and can be kind of a relief. When used poorly, it can come across as insecure or lazy writing.

Think of a stereotypical line from a Marvel movie, like "Well THAT just happened!" or "He's right behind me, isn't he"

"I hated that new movie, it was so bathos-poisoned it felt completely insincere"

Bathos

An abrupt, quick and often ridiculous shift from a serious manner to a trivial or funny manner in writing or speech, to invoke humour/humor (however you like it to be called)

"The hero gave a very strong-worded and passionate speech about the fate of humanity, only to trip over his shoelaces right afterward. Classic bathos."
