1. bathetic

   Bathetic refers to a sudden change in a piece of literature, music, or speech, from a serious and important subject to one that is trivial, mundane, insincere or excessively sentimental. It is often used for comedic effect or to mock and ridicule a character or situation. Bathos is frequently associated with anticlimax and can result from attempting to make something sound more important or dignified than it actually is. It's a concept originally coined by Alexander Pope in his treatise "Peri Bathous: Or the Art of Sinking in Poetry."
