Could someone please add something to the intro of this trope explaining what it's about?

Does anyone else think this trope needs a clearer name? Because I'm getting tired of seeing genuinely awe-inspiring things getting linked here via pothole by people who misinterpreted the name. Maybe something like "Mundane Epic"?

I don't get it. Is this trope about failing to make a boring thing interesting by just pretending it already is (like the title and introduction imply; think Light Yagami), or about that overused joke where you intentionally show a mundane thing in an over-the-top way to highlight how mundane it really is (like nearly every example on the page; think the Ghost Love Score meme)? And since they're both actually tropes — common tropes, used on TV no less — they ought to both have pages. So where's the page for whatever this page isn't? Maybe linking to it at the bottom would help clarify things.

So basically this trope is Awesome In Context
