11->'''Reginald Kincaid:''' The Shadow of Death. The gripping drama was the last play presented at the Orpheum. It closed after only one night, but not without garnering some praise. Harris in the Daily Telegram said, 'In an otherwise dismal evening, Reginald Kincaid provided some welcome laughs.'
12->'''Wiggins:''' You said it was a gripping drama!

15The plots of some films are treated as SeriousBusiness by those involved. But sometimes, they're [[{{Narm}} funnier than they were meant to be]].

64[[folder:General Examples and Parodies]]
65* Parodied '''mercilessly''' in ''Film/DirtyWork'': ''"Now he's taken'' my ''chainsaw, and he's using it on'' '''ME!'''"
66* A good portion of the humor in ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' comes from the characters pointing out the Narm in badly-received movies.
67** [[Film/ThisIslandEarth "Nor-mal view! Nor-mal view! Nor-mal view, nor-mal view, NOR-MAL VIEEEEEEWWWW!"]]
68** [[Film/SantaClaus1959 "Lupita, no!"]]
69** [[Film/PrinceOfSpace "Heh, heh, heh, heh... heh, heh, heh."]]
70** [[Film/ThePumaman "So dinosaurs became extinct because they forgot how to love each other. Is that right?"]]
71---> [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHMPR7kXJak Pu-ma-man! He flies like a moron!]]
72** [[Film/InvasionOfTheNeptuneMen The Hitler Building.]]
73** ''[=MST3K=]'''s SpiritualSuccessor Podcast/RiffTrax doesn't have to license the movies, so they can do any classics and blockbusters they like. They've since proven you can find {{Narm}} in ''any'' movie with the right observations.
74* The [[StockScream Wilhelm Scream]]. Have a look (and listen) to the compilation [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdbYsoEasio here]]. It works as a funny scream, but seems out of place as a serious, pained scream.
75* Creator/TreyParkerAndMattStone did this a lot when they were doing live-action movies. Notable examples include dramatically turning away while speaking in ''Film/{{Baseketball}}'' and a gang-banger shouting ''"CURSES!"'' after being thwarted in ''Film/{{Orgazmo}}''. ''Film/TeamAmericaWorldPolice'' was explicitly stated to be a Jerry Bruckheimer film played dead straight, with the only sign of self-awareness being that everyone was played by a marionette.
76* In general it's harder to take the early work of Creator/LeslieNielsen seriously since he later made a comedic career out of playing TheComicallySerious, which makes watching him play serious roles feel like the set up to a joke.
