Funny moments do not have to be intentional. Narm is more about something coming off as uncomfortable or awkward, not necessarily unintentionally funny.

The Narm page does, in fact, specifically state that the audience perceives it as funny when it is not meant to be. That said, there is absolutely no reason at all why a bit of narm can't or shouldn't be listed on the Funny Moments page. The OP is implying a mutual exclusivity that simply does not exist. The only requirement for putting an example on the Funny Moments page is that the troper doing so find the example funny (and not be the creator of the work).

Way I see it, it's the difference between "laughable" and "funny."

Something can be narm and it turns the dramatic scene to humorous... But that doesn't mean that humor is a crowning moment of funny any more than every single intentional joke is.

But there's no reason it can't be. Besides, they're not officially called Crowning Moments anymore, just Moments.

Just to be clear, I'm agreeing with you.
