You haven't really explain how it's played for drama out-of-universe.
We can never truly eradicate the coronavirus, but we can suppress its threat like influenza

"Out-of-universe, they show it as a drama by the laughing echoing and repeated Jump Cut to people laughing and Bob treating it as a joke has his voice played in slow-motion."
...How is this "dramatic"?

Is there a trope for this situation:
In-Universe, Alice makes a mistake in the kitchen producing too many cupcakes (more than ordered) because she's that good at making cupcakes, managing to do them quickly, and it's treated as comedy, maybe even Black Comedy by some and everyone involved finds it funny.
In-Universe, someone even asks if Alice is secretly a superhero Clark Kenting.
Out-of-universe, though, it's Played for Drama, but it's not done as a Deconstruction, and the work's a Cerebus Rollercoaster anyway.
Out-of-universe, they show it as a drama by the laughing echoing and repeated Jump Cut to people laughing and Bob treating it as a joke has his voice played in slow-motion.
Do we have a trope for where something's treated as comedy In-Universe, but seriously Out-of-Universe? What about the superhero bit, not Conspiracy Theorist is it?
