Is there a name for the law by which gallows humor gets less funny in direct proportion to how close the actual gallows are?

I can’t think of a succinct way to say “gallows humor loses its charm when the rope’s around your neck”.

It feels like a bathtub curve. Gets less funny as the gallows approach but picks back up when you're firmly in the noose and the only thing left is the humor and the ride.

I wonder if it has more to do with how long you’ve been at the gallows? Like it’s too raw right now to joke, maybe later.
