Trope of post-title comedy scenes in movie trailers

This is really bugging me because I cant for the life of me find what this trope is called but its so so common. In so many trailers from the past few years, they always have the usual scenes with music, then music stops and they show the title of the film, then they have a short comedy scene, then the release date etc.

This has to have a trope? Surely? If no one has any idea what I'm talking about I'll come back with a few hundred examples but Im hoping its not needed because it is so very common. The most recent one that made me wonder what this was called was the Sonic Movie trailer - like all the others: trailer scenes -> title -> music stops -> comedy scene -> release date and production small print

Edit: just watched this video https://youtu.be/1TShE8g8Evk and half of the trailers in it do this thing im talking about! If this isnt a trope. How?!
