I love the joke, but there is actually a German word for this: Tragikomödie. It is a compound noun formed by combining Tragödie (tragedy) and Komödie (comedy). This term was notably used in German Romanticism and later in 20th-century drama (for example like Brecht or Dürrenmatt) to describe works that refuse to fit neatly into a single emotional category.
