It's basically designed as the opposite of Awesome Moment of Crowning but with the added subjective concept that the scene comes off poorly or something.
I don't like this page.
It does seem like a valid trope, but I'm not sure if the current version is worth salvaging.
According to the page history, the original YKTTW is from over a year ago, and it never got any comments. I say send it back to YKTTW to get a better description, more examples - and most importantly - a new name.
Only three examples, one of which would probably better be in Insignia Rip-Off Ritual...
If it is kept, I do agree that the YMMV banner should not be there.

"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."I'd rather see "moment" disappear from the name entirely.
Fight smart, not fair.It has been cut.

I don't know who snowcloned this, but they need their ass kicked.
This is a perfectly valid trope: a character is stripped of rank, title or authority, or willingly divests themselves of it. Mind, it's a very broad trope and needs to be refined, but it's valid enough.
In the event of a firestorm, the salad bar will remain open.
