my family uses "[being] on the submarine" as a euphemism for answering the phone on the toilet so i'm getting a little giggle out of this question

In this context Tragic was a title earned for their efforts. It's like King Charles knighted the Titan, but since it was neither a Sir or Dame, it joined Titanic with the pronoun Tragic

"Comedic" is a better title for this than "Tragic".

I always thought allowing someone called Ethelred the Unready to rule England was a clear unforced error.
