Do I understand correctly that a "Funny Aneurysm" Moment is a funny moment in a work made "cringeworthy" or otherwise un-funny by events or additional works occurring after the release (or at least after production) of the work in question?
There are currently a number of examples on Avengers: Infinity War that reference funny moments early in the film made sadder by later events in the film itself. Others are about pre-release speculation or comparisons to other work becoming sadder in light of the actual work content. My understanding is that these would be misuse of the trope, but I would like confirmation of that before I remove them.
