Cory's death killed me , honestly..... i was honestly so shocked... that i didn't even know how to deal with it. i sure i spent an entire week feeling something was missing out of my life.... he was just such a big part of glee and glee was basically a huge part of my life at the time because i was handling my own personal issues.... but yeah.... so sad to lose someone like that mostly to drug addiction :(
I felt exactly the same. Most people don't understand, how you can feel sth like this for an actor or someone else you don't know personal. But when the person has an important role in your life and maybe changed sth, you can feel it. For me it's the same with Freddie Mercury. I wasn't even born when he died but he and his music are so damn important for me. Queen is an important thing in mine and my fathers life and that's "our thing". I really miss him and Cory too, cause he teached me so much. All of glee teached me so much like for example, to love myself and that real friends are everything.
This episode hits home for me every time...I lost two friends in high school...and the last time I saw my cousin, the news broke of Corey Monteith's death...she died in December 2016....just that line of "how do parents go on when they losea child?" instantly brings me to tears
I was doing ok watching 'The Quarterback'. Right up until the scene with Carole (Romy Rosemont) in the bedroom. You could see the emotions she was playing were so real and it just broke my heart. I then lost it again at the end with Mr Schue (Matthew Morrison). The whole episode was a very fitting farewell to a beloved character. I still bawl my eyes out every time I watch it.
This is us. Is the best show ever, it is a show I needed the most. My grandma died very unexpectedly. And this show has helped me grieve and heal. It’s a beautiful show.
What destroyed me about the quarterback episode was that every single scene was done in one take. Bc the emotions were so raw and powerful. When you listen to "make you feel my love" lea michele sniffles at some point in the song. She was the one most affected by corys passing bc she was his real life girlfriend. My heart broke for her and every time i hear that song.
There are so many Grey’s episodes that are sadder than the episode of Denny dying. The saddest episode in my opinion is the episode called All I Do Is Cry. This episode is the episode where April and Jackson have their son Samuel and he dies. Between April not wanting to give birth to him knowing that he will die, then them picking a name and signing a death and birth certificate, Jackson being in the chapel and begging God to be there for April(and for himself), Samuel being born and being baptized and then the worst where April says “He squeezed my finger and then he let go.” Then lastly Jackson wheeling April out of the hospital without their baby. I can’t watch it without absolutely losing it. 😭😭😭 makes me cry just thinking about it. 😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
we all have different things we find sad. I personally didn't find that April episode sad as I have never liked April. Also it's just a show. Some people on these shows have ACTUALLY died
Yes I know mine was a season finale, but the line “0-0-7” “OH MY GOD” “John Doe is George!!” And when the elevator doors open.... to this day I still ugly cry at that... 😭😭
I was worried that the glee episode wasn’t gonna b on the list and when it was #1, I cried. That episode makes me cry EVERY TIME! That last scene with will and Emma gets me every time!!
Gaby Champion the thing that gets me about that episode is that there's no proper acting needed for that episode. Just like the characters lost their friend, so did the actors. The emotions were real
The Glee episode hit me like a ton of bricks, because about 6 months ago in my small community there was a fatal car accident that killed 2 teenage girls. I went to their memorial service and saw their parents and how devastated they were. I can't imagine, nor do I want to try to comprehend how difficult it is for them, or anyone who loses a child.
Yup, "The Quarterback" definitely is one of the TV series ep that made me cry the most. Also 'This is us', but not the one where Jack dies, which was a shock of course, but we saw it coming. We were kinda prepared, may I say. But my eyes turned into a giant water fountain during the episode after that one, with Jack's funeral. I couldn't stop crying.
Maddie Ladner ive never seen boy meets world but i cry whenever mr feeney says “class dismissed” to an empty classroom. god you think he hates them all when hes just a lonely old man who basically raised these kids and loves them
IMO “The Body” should have been the Buffy entry on this list. Don’t get me wrong “Becoming” was sad but it doesn’t make me cry every single time like “The Body” does
Yeah as sad as Jack's death was I was prepared for it since I knew he was dead since the beginning. But we didn't know when the cancer was going to get William so it hurt way way more plus seeing William own life throughout the episode from losing his mother and falling into drugs with Randall's Bio Mother. I swear I lost all body fluid crying.
When Derrick died on "Grey's Anatomy", when Christina was dumped on her wedding day, Denny Duket dying, Meredith drowning in the ocean....I can keep going.
4x01 Charmed Again Part 1. Piper in pain was one of the best portrayals of a TV characters crying over a dead sibling that I have ever seen to this day.
I would have said when piper dies in the season 3 finale. Holly and Shanen were the best in acting from my point of view. Anyway, I love the 4 of them.
"The Gift" from the season 5 finale of Buffy never fails to make my eyes water, It was just executed in just the perfect way to make you feel like the ultimate sacrifice was made. But then again, Buffy is my favorite show of all time lol. I swear, watching these heart wrenching moments in any TV shows are like an addiction, and if we have the chance to watch these things over and over, we do, and then we ask ourselves "Wtf is wrong with me?"
The body was the saddest episode over tho imo opinion since there is no music, barely any background sound, and just raw human emotion and thoughts on mortality
Glee is my favorite show in The world and it will always be my favorite show. It really deserved to be #1 because Cory is really gone and those were real tears from the actors and the fans.❤Gleek forever
terrormonster666 because your dad is a selfish idiot, it's his loss not yours and don't ever forget that. I was not raised by my dad, he chose playing professional soccer over being a good husband and father so I feel you, like I said it's their loss!
Jack's Death on This Is Us had me bawling like a baby one of the best episodes hands down on that show Derek's Death i can't even breathe when it happens so much anger and sobbing with this episode i can't even watch it.
The Quarterback episode broke me more than I thought it would. I had stopped watching that season because I lost interest in the show and didn’t have time for it because of college. But my mom convinced me to watch the episode just for the raw emotion of it and let me tell you, it didn’t hold back. I definitely cried when the mom was packing his things and how hard it was to breathe when you’ve lost a child. But what really truly broke me was Mr. Schue at the end. Those painful sobs as he cried into the letterman, that broke my heart in two and I started sobbing too. Lost interest in the show but the seasons I watched previous to know the characters made the pain that much harsher
"Damn. DAMN. DDAAAMMMNNN!" Esther Rolle in Good Times. People today like to make fun of that scene, but if watched in its entirety you see the power of her performance.
I think The Body should be #1 and not Becoming. Angel came back but watching them deal with the mortality of Joyce not coming back and Anya’s confusion are the most heart wrenching scenes of the whole series.
When Carter read the letter informing everyone that Mark is dead, that was tough and I thought "OK so he's gone, I cried a little and that's it". But when the entire following episode was about him dying, it was waterfalls for the entire duration.
Ugh, HOW IS THAT EPISODE NOT EVEN MENTIONED?!?! my sister walked down the aisle at her wedding to the Hawaiian version of "somewhere over the rainbow" and I wasn't crying because of her coming up- I was crying because it made me think of Dr. Greene!!!! I literally just informed her of that just a few months ago and she's been married for 6 years 😋
Breaking Bad - Ozymandias The Walking Dead - The Day Will Come When You Wont Be The Office - Goodbye, Michael Glee - The Quarterback Buffy the Vampire Slayer - The Body
Completely agree with #1. I cry as soon as it starts and I don't stop until after it ends. However, I think Derek's death or Lexie's death was MUCH WORSE than Denny's death
Lexis death makes me cry so hard every time I watch it. She didn't deserve to die (well, no character in the show deserved it) but the episode that really destroyed me was the hospital shooting, that one was so intense
Oh I have only watched that episode once....I can't watch it again...it breaks my heart.... I agree Lexie's and Mark's deaths, for me, were way worse than Denny's....This is us makes me cry almost every single episode and then One Tree Hill had some really really powerful and sad moment so it had to be in the list not in the honarable mention....
Full House : When uncle Jesse considers moving out and Michelle gives him her piggy, he leaves the room and they both start crying. Charmed : (OH SO MANY! I´ll name three) When Piper turns into a fury and faces Prues grave. When Paige returns to the day her parents were killed. When Chris dies.
Honourable mention goes to Wesley in the final episode of Angel. As he's dying Illyria transforms back into Winifred so he can see her one last time. "Would you like me to lie to you now?
Can I just say that in American Horror story when Violet finds out what Tate did and tells him to go away is pretty damn emotional or when Violet says goodbye to Tate it should be at least a honorable mention it’s pretty damn sad because you see how much Tate loves her and how much he has changed
Sorry, but as tear-jerker episodes of Buffy goes, "Becoming" isn't worthy to shine "The Body's" shoes. Hell, that scene where Anya -- played by Emma Caulfield -- starts off by asking awkward, questions that seem to just be her as her normal insensitive self, only for her to break down in grief because she honestly DOES NOT UNDERSTAND why people die, and why it has to happen, especially to someone she cares about. That one scene is more of a tear-jerker than both "Becoming" episodes. Hell, that one seen is sadder than most of the rest of the episodes in this list combined.
The TV scene that always gets me is in NCIS involving what happened to Kate. It was such a shock with no real lead up. Then later, when Ziva learns the truth about her brother and Gibbs has a heart to heart with her. Man...that was so emotional!
WHAT ABOUT SHAWN'S DADS DEATH OR WHEN MR.TURNER GOT IN THAT MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT OR WHEN TOPANGA HAD TO MOVE TO PITTSBURGH OR THE LAST EPISODE OF BOY MEETS WORLD???? I can keep going....
The Quarterback made my aunt cry when I watched it back in the day and she had never seen a single episode before. But Superbowl Sunday was the very 1st This is Us episode I ever watched and I bawled my eyes out
Supernatural, sams first death Friends, last episode Scrubs, SOO MANY EPISODES The Walking Dead, Carl or Glenns death Modern family, Phils mom dies Stranger Things, eleven "dies"
Liz Dragon the friends one doesn’t count because they said no series finales and supernatural was kind of expected because the show won’t end until Sam or dean officially dies
And then when she finally did break down in the next episode "The Bitterest Pill" it was so heartbreaking, because she realized her one true love was indeed gone forever.
You missed SO MANY GOOD EPISODES!!! ER, when Greene dies, or when Ross leaves, or when Kem and Carter's baby dies, or when Luca and Abby get married... M*A*S*H, when Colonel Blake's plane spins in... The Walton's, when Grandpa dies... Little House, when Laura's son dies...All In The Family, when Edith gets raped, when Gloria and Mike leave, when Edith dies... just to name a few! There have been more good TV shows than just since 2000.
The episode The Body on Buffy made me cry through the whole episode. Becoming didn't have the same effect. Losing the one that gave birth to you in such a powerless and seemingly no good reason way is heartbreaking.
just posted this above: I would always pick The Body over any other Buffy episode for tear up factor. Too easy to go with the love interest angle. What makes The Body so much more powerful is that it was a natural death which Buffy couldn't do anything about or rescue her mum from.
Nicole Tunis I completely agree. That is what made it extra powerful. Plus how deeply it effected every character in the show. Seeing how everyone responded to her death, it made it really seep in and make it all the more painful.
Should've been the body vs becoming part 2 for Buffy. Losing a parent is one of the hardest things ever in life. Having to understand and accept death, "things just happen, is so much harder than Buffy having to kill angel to save the world. Joyce was like a truck just hit you, it was unexpected and handled like real life, numbing.
I call bullshit for choosing any episode of Buffy as the saddest over Body. I don't understand how you can possibly choose Becoming as sadder. There is something seriously wrong with who ever made this list.
I thought so too. Buffy had time to prepare with Angel and getting his soul at the end made that extra rough, but nobody was even thinking about Joyce dying. Everything about that episode is just wonderfully done, too.
Yes exactly. There are so many episodes of buffy that are so much sadder than that. The body makes me bawl every time, as does seeing the scoobies and spike and Giles reacting to buffys death in the gift, and SPIKES SACRIFICE in Chosen. That one always gets me.😭
Ryan Murphy said about The Quarterback that he had never been on a set where filming was impossible because people were crying so much... I believe it 100%.
I completely agree with number 1. I would add "Thirteen" - The Hundred (the one with Lexa's death) and "Dramatics, your honor" and "The last call" - The Good Wife (the chapter when Will dies and the next one)
Silvia González Sánchez while Lexa's death was hard and very unexpected, I think spacewalker was a sadder episode because the building up to the moment with Finn's backstory and how he only took the blame to save Raven made it all the more heartbreaking, even if what he did was really horrible in the first place. Losing your first love, and having to be the one to kill him, is very brutal.
That glee episode has been one of the only episodes in a tv show that I have ever seen that has made me cry. I’ve cried in 3 shows including Glee, in only 1 episode a show. Only that episode truly brought me to tears and I still cry every time I watch it
Bea’s death- Wentworth; how it broke so many of the characters hearts and the fact that Bea planned it really broke my heart Bea’s daughters death - Wentworth; how Bea was so broken for months...broke my heart Poussey- orange is the new black; really broke my spirits because out of all the characters she deserved better than to die..she was such a greatly written character... Tiffany aka dogget- orange is the new black; this death killed me because her character had developed the most throughout the show, showing she wanted better for herself and to just be better...and the fact that she thought she failed the test(which she actually passed) is literally the only reason she got high and accidentally overdosed shattered my heart...yea she wasn’t the nicest the best character at first...but by the last season she had changed so so much...that’s one of the few TV deaths that I think was uncalled for,that really shouldn’t happen because killing her off took away from the show- they shouldn’t have killed her...keeping her and having her see that she is smart enough and good enough and giving her hope would have made the ending of OITNB so much better and this is one of the only TV deaths that I thought the writers did the character dirty and that the writers did the wrong thing....they didn’t even show us how Boo felt about her best friends death, meaning Boo probably never found out...which is so shitty....never finding out about a best friend dying....that’s a low blow.... Red losing her memory(dementia)-orange is the new black; it broke me watching Red get worse and worse mentally... and watching the pain Nikki went through... Lorna’s baby dies- orange is the new black; watching Lorna have the baby so early and Lorna not being able to be with her son...was scary and sad on its own but then the writers went even further and decided that Lorna’s son needed to be killed off...so Lorna’s son dies....THEN on top of that Vinny leaves Lorna’s during this hard time...just watching Lorna’s psyci get worse and worse really breaks your heart...Lorna was such a kinda loving person..a little crazy? Yes, but she had so much love to give....and I honestly think The writers did wrong...Lorna’s baby shouldn’t have been killed off... Jack-This is us; this is another character death I find dirty and unfair...I get trying to psyc out the watchers by making them think jack is going to live because it’ll pull the heart strings more ...however I think they were really unfair about it... because I think they pulled the heart string TOO MUCH, after the episode that featured jacks death I couldn’t watch the show for months... and I had nightmares about his death(happening to someone in my family)...a heart attack is one of the worst ways to die...I had a friend whose dad had a heart attack, luckily he lived but he said it was really scary and really painful...he even remembers what the shock pads felt like...which is omg painful...then recovery afterwards was horrible...so watching/hearing about jacks death was extremely horrible because I knew how bad/scary/painful a heart attack is...obviously the writers wanted jacks death to break hearts and they succeeded...almost too well for my taste... Micheals “death”- Jane the virgin; watching Jane and Micheal’s love get stronger and stronger throughout Jane the virgin and their wedding then having Micheal survive a gunshot on their wedding night just to have him “die” was so sad! Watching Jane break down the way she did...and have a hard couple months filled with grief and anxiety and depression wasn’t easy at all...I applaud the writers for writing that episode and the episodes right after...it’s not easy to write such a main characters “death” and continue on with the show afterwards so smoothly...everything just fit together so perfectly
Angel "I Will Remember You", scene where Angel reveals to Buffy that he's turning back time to become a human again to save her life could have made this list.
It's a shame Netflix removed Hannah's death scene from the show. Makes me think that most of the iconic scenes/episodes from past shows would not make it to television today. :/
Cory's death killed me , honestly..... i was honestly so shocked... that i didn't even know how to deal with it. i sure i spent an entire week feeling something was missing out of my life.... he was just such a big part of glee and glee was basically a huge part of my life at the time because i was handling my own personal issues.... but yeah.... so sad to lose someone like that mostly to drug addiction :(
I felt exactly the same. Most people don't understand, how you can feel sth like this for an actor or someone else you don't know personal. But when the person has an important role in your life and maybe changed sth, you can feel it.
For me it's the same with Freddie Mercury. I wasn't even born when he died but he and his music are so damn important for me. Queen is an important thing in mine and my fathers life and that's "our thing". I really miss him and Cory too, cause he teached me so much. All of glee teached me so much like for example, to love myself and that real friends are everything.
This episode hits home for me every time...I lost two friends in high school...and the last time I saw my cousin, the news broke of Corey Monteith's death...she died in December 2016....just that line of "how do parents go on when they losea child?" instantly brings me to tears
Chloee Catherine Maki 😭😭😭
What’s sadder than the death of a character is the death of an actor who plays the character
Is that a revelation you just got now?
A RB I don’t know what that word means, but my example is Furious 7 when it paid tribute to the late Paul Walker.
Bailee Sandbakken Or 8 rules- John Ritter's death was so unexpected and shocking, and the way they handled it on the show made me cry just as hard
cory monteith😭
John Ritter’s untimely death truly rocked the cast of “8 Simple Rules.”
You know the Quarterback merited its #1 spot, when just reading "The Quarterback - Glee" brings tears to your eyes.
It hit me when mr shuster breaks down at the end with Finn’s jacket
9.5 on imdb definitly not a masterpiece
I was doing ok watching 'The Quarterback'. Right up until the scene with Carole (Romy Rosemont) in the bedroom. You could see the emotions she was playing were so real and it just broke my heart. I then lost it again at the end with Mr Schue (Matthew Morrison). The whole episode was a very fitting farewell to a beloved character. I still bawl my eyes out every time I watch it.
"I'm not ready for this." hits me really hard every time. My dad died when I was fourteen and I'm STILL not ready.
im so sorry.may he rest in peace
This is us. Is the best show ever, it is a show I needed the most. My grandma died very unexpectedly. And this show has helped me grieve and heal. It’s a beautiful show.
What destroyed me about the quarterback episode was that every single scene was done in one take. Bc the emotions were so raw and powerful. When you listen to "make you feel my love" lea michele sniffles at some point in the song. She was the one most affected by corys passing bc she was his real life girlfriend. My heart broke for her and every time i hear that song.
I agree wholeheartedly. I actually managed to get through the episode without crying until Mr. Shue pulls out his jacket and breaks down.
yup.. that glee episode, makes me cry everytime, I'm crying now
same omg
evieramosi Yep I'm crying😭😭😭
same, oh my gosh
Same
Me too 😭😭
The Quarterback is definitely the saddest I’ve seen. Carol’s scene broke my heart.
Jacks death in This Is Us makes me sob every time I even watch clips about it. Such an amazing and emotionally complex show, I love it.
That whole season made me go through a few boxes of tissues.
The Quarterback will always be my biggest cry episode. This episode is just so devastating because you know the acting is real
Apparently Santana's breakdown was real - Naya Rivera had a panic attack while she was singing
exactly. I sobbed the entire episode
There are so many Grey’s episodes that are sadder than the episode of Denny dying. The saddest episode in my opinion is the episode called All I Do Is Cry. This episode is the episode where April and Jackson have their son Samuel and he dies. Between April not wanting to give birth to him knowing that he will die, then them picking a name and signing a death and birth certificate, Jackson being in the chapel and begging God to be there for April(and for himself), Samuel being born and being baptized and then the worst where April says “He squeezed my finger and then he let go.” Then lastly Jackson wheeling April out of the hospital without their baby. I can’t watch it without absolutely losing it. 😭😭😭 makes me cry just thinking about it. 😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
I've never seen Grey's anatomy but that sounds utterly heartbreaking 😭😭😭
we all have different things we find sad. I personally didn't find that April episode sad as I have never liked April. Also it's just a show. Some people on these shows have ACTUALLY died
I didn't find the Denny episode that sad tbh
Bella Kok girl fuck April 😂😂😂 we didn’t know that baby Denny’s death was definitely a tear jerker 💯👌🏾
Yes absolutely, way sadder, I also think that the episode with the shooting was really sad because so much happens it's terrible
Yes I know mine was a season finale, but the line “0-0-7”
“OH MY GOD”
“John Doe is George!!”
And when the elevator doors open.... to this day I still ugly cry at that... 😭😭
xlesadx YES 😥😥😥😥
just reading this comment gave me chills. That episode gets me every time!
I SWEAR 😭😭😭
I think they meant like the last ep ever of a show
Yes!!! That was both shocking and heartbreaking.
Jane the Virgin when Jane finds out about Michaels death 😭😭 her reaction made me ball my eyes out
Tara Gause have you seen the season 4 finale of JTV?
I was practically jumping up for Joy. I hated Michael and Jane together.
Paris Boutique Art have you seen the JTV season 4 finale?
Will crying at the end wasn't scripted.
Neither was that hug.
There's some great interviews on that scene
Criminal Minds. When Hotch looses his wife. Most horrible tv moment ever.
That's the one I was going to say. I cry like a baby.
dude i didnt believe shed actually die that killed me inside
yeah the episode where hotched killed the ripper
Clarisa ExplainsItAll omg this Episode is so hard you are right 😭😭😭
Ugh that hurt.
I was worried that the glee episode wasn’t gonna b on the list and when it was #1, I cried. That episode makes me cry EVERY TIME! That last scene with will and Emma gets me every time!!
The Quarterback had to be number 1, I can’t watch the whole thing to this day. Hearing Matthew Morrison cry breaks my heart every time.
Gaby Champion Naya Rivera singing If I Die Young is what gets me
Gaby Champion the thing that gets me about that episode is that there's no proper acting needed for that episode. Just like the characters lost their friend, so did the actors. The emotions were real
It’s Carole’s speech when she says ‘you have to keep on being a parent even though you don’t get to have a child anymore’ gets me every time 😔
I made it through the whole episode without crying, and then Matthew Morrison started crying and I fucking lost my shit
Gaby Champion Agree
Marshall's Dads death hit me hard.
But FUTURAMA - JURASSIC BARK is the saddest.
The last couple of minutes of Jurassic Bark gets me everytime
The Glee episode hit me like a ton of bricks, because about 6 months ago in my small community there was a fatal car accident that killed 2 teenage girls. I went to their memorial service and saw their parents and how devastated they were. I can't imagine, nor do I want to try to comprehend how difficult it is for them, or anyone who loses a child.
No episode of Buffy will EVER be as sad as "The Body". I've seen every episode several times, and that is the only one that still makes me SOB.
Agreed.
Exactly. I said the same thing.
The Body, Becoming Part 2, and Innocence are the three saddest episodes no question.
Kitty van Dijk angel dying made show a cultural phenomenon and put it in history books.
Okay?
Yup, "The Quarterback" definitely is one of the TV series ep that made me cry the most. Also 'This is us', but not the one where Jack dies, which was a shock of course, but we saw it coming. We were kinda prepared, may I say. But my eyes turned into a giant water fountain during the episode after that one, with Jack's funeral. I couldn't stop crying.
Cries throughout video even though haven’t seen half these shows
Maddie Ladner ive never seen boy meets world but i cry whenever mr feeney says “class dismissed” to an empty classroom.
god you think he hates them all when hes just a lonely old man who basically raised these kids and loves them
Bones - When Vincent and Sweets dies
Juulia 97 my god yes, Vincent’s funeral destroys me every time
Sweets and Vincent. Such sad moments 😭
THIS!
another moment that broke my heart is when we find out that zack was the accomplice!
I was devastated
IMO “The Body” should have been the Buffy entry on this list. Don’t get me wrong “Becoming” was sad but it doesn’t make me cry every single time like “The Body” does
This Is Us makes me cry literally every episode...
“ I got off the plane “ CHILLS EVERYTIME
DONT EVEN TALK ABOUT THE QUARTERBACK... I CRY EVERY TIME...😭😭😭
Fresh Prince should be #1
That scene ALWAYS makes me cry
Kierren Mathews no glee deserved number 1
May Cory Monteith (Finn Hudson) Rest In Peace. He forever lives on our hearts as the city boy taking the mid night train going anywhere 💔😖❤️ 🥁 🏈 🎶
when randall's father dies in this is us did it to me.
I feel guilty that hit me way harder than Jack's death.
Sting Rey yeah both episode where his dad dies made me cry
Yeah as sad as Jack's death was I was prepared for it since I knew he was dead since the beginning. But we didn't know when the cancer was going to get William so it hurt way way more plus seeing William own life throughout the episode from losing his mother and falling into drugs with Randall's Bio Mother. I swear I lost all body fluid crying.
Sting Rey when he puts his hands on his face and says ‘breath’ I lose it
I cried for pretty every episode specially the part 1 part 2 part 3 and the deaths
When Derrick died on "Grey's Anatomy", when Christina was dumped on her wedding day, Denny Duket dying, Meredith drowning in the ocean....I can keep going.
Cadillac Deville and when George died
Yes
Cadillac Deville Henry’s death (Teddy’s husband) still kills me 😭 and Denny’s death.
I think it would be easier to tell them whats not sad rather than what is sad 😂😂
Lexie and Mark's death were the saddest death on grey's
This is Us made me cry just by watching that little clip from this video!!😭😭😭😭😭
Clover Beltran, Same😭😭😭
God same.
alissaxchantelxthalia xqueens no, it's terrible
4x01 Charmed Again Part 1. Piper in pain was one of the best portrayals of a TV characters crying over a dead sibling that I have ever seen to this day.
I would have said when piper dies in the season 3 finale. Holly and Shanen were the best in acting from my point of view. Anyway, I love the 4 of them.
I have the triquetra tattoo!!
"The Gift" from the season 5 finale of Buffy never fails to make my eyes water, It was just executed in just the perfect way to make you feel like the ultimate sacrifice was made. But then again, Buffy is my favorite show of all time lol. I swear, watching these heart wrenching moments in any TV shows are like an addiction, and if we have the chance to watch these things over and over, we do, and then we ask ourselves "Wtf is wrong with me?"
The body was the saddest episode over tho imo opinion since there is no music, barely any background sound, and just raw human emotion and thoughts on mortality
Where the hell is Poussey's death in Orange is the New Black? That was the most I've ever cried while watching something.
It's a season finale, isn't it?
Omg same!!
@@maryluvglee no, they had another episode after that
same, i cried myself to sleep when i saw her die. i loved her character so much
Pousey's death and the death of Amber in House MD are my top cry moments
Glee is my favorite show in The world and it will always be my favorite show. It really deserved to be #1 because Cory is really gone and those were real tears from the actors and the fans.❤Gleek forever
Taegan Laufer YESSS
😭😭😭😭😭Will Smith killed that scene😭😭😭, OMG all these scenes😭😭😭😭
Vala Dina same it makes me wonder why my dad didn’t want me
terrormonster666 because your dad is a selfish idiot, it's his loss not yours and don't ever forget that. I was not raised by my dad, he chose playing professional soccer over being a good husband and father so I feel you, like I said it's their loss!
Vala Dina I still can’t help but wonder what my life would be like if he was in it
He became a mega movie star.
It was actually completely unscripted. He was speaking about his own feelings about his father abandoning him in real life. The tears were real 😥😥
When Jack died in
This Is Us
I was crushed and was crying so much even though I knew it was coming
Mandy Moore continuously outdoes herself.
Her denial and then stopping at the window where you see his body in the background and it hits her...
MonaLisa22 -she didn’t know he was going to be laying on the bed either, so that first look is real surprise
I was definitely expecting Michael's "death" in Jane the Virgin, Just the way Gina Rodriguez did that scene is amazing.
Jack's Death on This Is Us had me bawling like a baby one of the best episodes hands down on that show
Derek's Death i can't even breathe when it happens so much anger and sobbing with this episode i can't even watch it.
I have to avoid the whole season 11.. Thats how much it broke my heart..
Irrelevant, but I like your profile picture :)
Scrubs?!! When Dr. Cox has his breakdown?? Not even an honorable mention???
Phil Huebbers "Where do you think we are right now?"
Define Real kelsos blank stare
And Laverne's death...
Chiara Arisio too soon!
Bens death made me bawl
Jack's death forever destroyed me
Laly R I knew it was coming but I was still crying.
Laly R ikr it was so sad
The Quarterback episode broke me more than I thought it would. I had stopped watching that season because I lost interest in the show and didn’t have time for it because of college. But my mom convinced me to watch the episode just for the raw emotion of it and let me tell you, it didn’t hold back. I definitely cried when the mom was packing his things and how hard it was to breathe when you’ve lost a child.
But what really truly broke me was Mr. Schue at the end. Those painful sobs as he cried into the letterman, that broke my heart in two and I started sobbing too. Lost interest in the show but the seasons I watched previous to know the characters made the pain that much harsher
"Damn. DAMN. DDAAAMMMNNN!" Esther Rolle in Good Times. People today like to make fun of that scene, but if watched in its entirety you see the power of her performance.
I think The Body should be #1 and not Becoming. Angel came back but watching them deal with the mortality of Joyce not coming back and Anya’s confusion are the most heart wrenching scenes of the whole series.
Farrell Stillman I also think “The Gift” was much sadder than Becoming Pt 2
Ryan Comeau the worst part of that was later realizing she had been in heaven 😢
Farrell Stillman I know 😭 and her monologue with Dawn before she jumps to her death makes me sob every time
Ryan Comeau I’m so going to rebinge it again now. Lol So good! ❤️
Same here. The body, the gift, passion, the wish and a new world was much more of a tear jerker than becoming part 2.
No death on TV has ever hurt me as much as the death of Winifred on Angel.
"Why can't I stay"?
Dr. Green's death from ER!!!! Not even a mention????
Maya Cat thank you!!! Ugh I lost it when Mark was talking to his daughter and hello g her to always be good to people 😣
Maya Cat I wholeheartedly agree!! That episode should have had a mention at the very least! I still can't make it through the episode without crying.
When Carter read the letter informing everyone that Mark is dead, that was tough and I thought "OK so he's gone, I cried a little and that's it". But when the entire following episode was about him dying, it was waterfalls for the entire duration.
Anyone who didn't cry during that episode, is dead inside.
Ugh, HOW IS THAT EPISODE NOT EVEN MENTIONED?!?! my sister walked down the aisle at her wedding to the Hawaiian version of "somewhere over the rainbow" and I wasn't crying because of her coming up- I was crying because it made me think of Dr. Greene!!!! I literally just informed her of that just a few months ago and she's been married for 6 years 😋
Breaking Bad - Ozymandias
The Walking Dead - The Day Will Come When You Wont Be
The Office - Goodbye, Michael
Glee - The Quarterback
Buffy the Vampire Slayer - The Body
The one where Buffy finds her mom dead. Criminal minds where hotches wife dies and where Keith dies on one tree hill
Completely agree with #1. I cry as soon as it starts and I don't stop until after it ends. However, I think Derek's death or Lexie's death was MUCH WORSE than Denny's death
Shannon Moran George's death always gets me because it was such a shocking twist. Also Adele dancing with Richard gets me as well.
Lexis death makes me cry so hard every time I watch it. She didn't deserve to die (well, no character in the show deserved it) but the episode that really destroyed me was the hospital shooting, that one was so intense
Ken Mills when Adele dies it's so so so sad, my heart breaks every time
I agree because it was unexpected
Oh I have only watched that episode once....I can't watch it again...it breaks my heart....
I agree Lexie's and Mark's deaths, for me, were way worse than Denny's....This is us makes me cry almost every single episode and then One Tree Hill had some really really powerful and sad moment so it had to be in the list not in the honarable mention....
the glee one ruined me and still does now
Jess Clark I agree I.get teary eyed
I can never make it through the Fresh Prince episode without crying, even from the beginning. HIMYM always catches me off guard as well.
“How to save a life” will always be the saddest episode of Grey’s for me
How to save was in Scrubs season five My Lunch.
Full House : When uncle Jesse considers moving out and Michelle gives him her piggy, he leaves the room and they both start crying.
Charmed : (OH SO MANY! I´ll name three) When Piper turns into a fury and faces Prues grave. When Paige returns to the day her parents were killed. When Chris dies.
When papoui (sp?) Dies.
Honourable mention goes to Wesley in the final episode of Angel.
As he's dying Illyria transforms back into Winifred so he can see her one last time.
"Would you like me to lie to you now?
Can I just say that in American Horror story when Violet finds out what Tate did and tells him to go away is pretty damn emotional or when Violet says goodbye to Tate it should be at least a honorable mention it’s pretty damn sad because you see how much Tate loves her and how much he has changed
Or when Violet finds out she is dead that is also pretty damn sad especially the fact that Tate tried to save her but he couldn’t
Rocker Queen that’s what i was thinking 😭😭😭
Sorry, but as tear-jerker episodes of Buffy goes, "Becoming" isn't worthy to shine "The Body's" shoes. Hell, that scene where Anya -- played by Emma Caulfield -- starts off by asking awkward, questions that seem to just be her as her normal insensitive self, only for her to break down in grief because she honestly DOES NOT UNDERSTAND why people die, and why it has to happen, especially to someone she cares about. That one scene is more of a tear-jerker than both "Becoming" episodes.
Hell, that one seen is sadder than most of the rest of the episodes in this list combined.
Agreed. I thought it was a universal fact that The Body is the saddest Buffy episode.
Anya asking those question made me cry
The TV scene that always gets me is in NCIS involving what happened to Kate. It was such a shock with no real lead up. Then later, when Ziva learns the truth about her brother and Gibbs has a heart to heart with her. Man...that was so emotional!
Marshall saying "I'm not ready for this" will always break my heart. That will always be true when parents die, I guess. No matter how old you are.
WHAT ABOUT SHAWN'S DADS DEATH OR WHEN MR.TURNER GOT IN THAT MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT OR WHEN TOPANGA HAD TO MOVE TO PITTSBURGH OR THE LAST EPISODE OF BOY MEETS WORLD???? I can keep going....
Yesss We'll Have a Good Time Then is definitely the BMW episode that gets me the most!! That scene at the hospital with Shawn and Chet
Last episodes are not included
If the Buffy episode where Joyce dies isn't on this god damn list I'm gonna riot
God damnit. The glee episode made me cry my eyes out
The Quarterback made my aunt cry when I watched it back in the day and she had never seen a single episode before. But Superbowl Sunday was the very 1st This is Us episode I ever watched and I bawled my eyes out
10:57
I cried all the episode.
I couldn't believe that Cory died in rl
I couldn't except it
Rest in peace Cory aka Finn❤😢
Supernatural, sams first death
Friends, last episode
Scrubs, SOO MANY EPISODES
The Walking Dead, Carl or Glenns death
Modern family, Phils mom dies
Stranger Things, eleven "dies"
Liz Dragon, I would say bobby's death instead of Sam's.
Again... Season/Series Finales does not count for the list...
Liz Dragon the friends one doesn’t count because they said no series finales and supernatural was kind of expected because the show won’t end until Sam or dean officially dies
Liz Dragon I
Liz Dragon Sam's first death on supernatural was the worst 😭
"Rock This Town" from Degrassi: The Next Generation should have made this list. That was the episode where J.T. was killed.
Alex Meyer yes
the one with Adam's memorial made me cry soooooo hard
me too, there are SO MANY Degrassi moments to choose from, at least one of them should have been on this list
Yeah I cried so much and the fact that Liberty couldn't mourn him because she was in shock after finding out he died was so sad and devastating.
And then when she finally did break down in the next episode "The Bitterest Pill" it was so heartbreaking, because she realized her one true love was indeed gone forever.
I cried like a baby when Michael from Jane the Virgin died. It should have been on this list.
True
Um,mark greenes death scene"On the beach",season 8,ER.i still cry watching it
I remember seeing that one and absolutely BAWLING my eyes out. Seriously "ugly cry".
marshalls dad dying is the saddest thing ive ever watched, i sob everytime
You missed SO MANY GOOD EPISODES!!!
ER, when Greene dies, or when Ross leaves, or when Kem and Carter's baby dies, or when Luca and Abby get married...
M*A*S*H, when Colonel Blake's plane spins in...
The Walton's, when Grandpa dies... Little House, when Laura's son dies...All In The Family, when Edith gets raped, when Gloria and Mike leave, when Edith dies... just to name a few!
There have been more good TV shows than just since 2000.
I completely agree! Unfortunately, a lot of these top-ten lists tend to neglect great older shows.
Barbara Bavier Yes!! Or the Walton's episode where Mary Ellen thinks her husband died during Pearl Harbor
Cheyenne Hayden that one's a killer! Also when GW dies!
Barbara Bavier yes!!
Yes, MASH had several sad moments.
Where is Poussey's death in oitnb😣😬😬
kai dude, yes. I’ve never cried during a show like I did with this one.
The episode The Body on Buffy made me cry through the whole episode. Becoming didn't have the same effect. Losing the one that gave birth to you in such a powerless and seemingly no good reason way is heartbreaking.
"im not ready for this" will make me burst out in tears every single time
Rip Cory Monteith
The Body made me cry more than Becoming
Jesus’s ramirez me too. I feel that was the saddest moment on the entire series. Closely followed by Buffy's death at the end of season 5.
Jesus’s ramirez I agree. Also The Gift had me in tears.
I agree. There were many heart-breaking moments in Buffy, but Joyce's death made me cry like a baby throughout the episode.
just posted this above:
I would always pick The Body over any other Buffy episode for tear up factor. Too easy to go with the love interest angle. What makes The Body so much more powerful is that it was a natural death which Buffy couldn't do anything about or rescue her mum from.
Nicole Tunis I completely agree. That is what made it extra powerful. Plus how deeply it effected every character in the show. Seeing how everyone responded to her death, it made it really seep in and make it all the more painful.
Should've been the body vs becoming part 2 for Buffy. Losing a parent is one of the hardest things ever in life. Having to understand and accept death, "things just happen, is so much harder than Buffy having to kill angel to save the world. Joyce was like a truck just hit you, it was unexpected and handled like real life, numbing.
When Vincent died in Bones. I was in bits for hours. Same when Will died in The Good Wife.
Michelle O'Brien I'm insulted Sweets death wasn't on here. That was one of the only times I've cried for a half hour because of a tv show.
I cro d when sweets died the most saddest episode from bones 😭😭😭😭 I miss him and bones 😭😭
I was shocked by Sweets dead but more saddened by Vincent's death it could be because overall I really liked the Broadsky arc
I cried during The Office "Finale" episode... "Goodbye, Michael" doesn't make me cry as much.
That damn Frasier episode when Niles has heart surgery
also when Niles confesses his love to Daphne and she initially rejects him
It wasn't sad as much as it was scary coz it was obvious he wouldn't die
I better see that episode from Buffy The Vampire Slayer called " The Body" where Buffy finds her mom's lifeless body on the sofa.
GayMer_ Freak84 i cant believe its not even on the list...
GayMer_ Freak84 i cried like a baby that episode
Becoming was great but The Body is definitely the saddest one.
You should, it's not just sad because of the characters. It's special because of the directing and acting, it's a whole different beast.
It should have been on the list. Becoming has nothing on The Body when it comes to sadness and the amount of crying you do.
I call bullshit for choosing any episode of Buffy as the saddest over Body. I don't understand how you can possibly choose Becoming as sadder. There is something seriously wrong with who ever made this list.
Yep. The Body makes you cry from the beginning to the end.
I thought so too. Buffy had time to prepare with Angel and getting his soul at the end made that extra rough, but nobody was even thinking about Joyce dying. Everything about that episode is just wonderfully done, too.
Yes exactly. There are so many episodes of buffy that are so much sadder than that. The body makes me bawl every time, as does seeing the scoobies and spike and Giles reacting to buffys death in the gift, and SPIKES SACRIFICE in Chosen. That one always gets me.😭
I KNOW! shes a grown ass woman in body but when she sees joyce on the couch she is so confused and in denial like a little girl. PLUS ANYAS SPEECH WTF
Even Giles finding Jenny was more sadder The Becoming
God, Will crying into Emma's arms gets me every frickin time.
Mary Hobbs same here😭😭😭😭
Ryan Murphy said about The Quarterback that he had never been on a set where filming was impossible because people were crying so much... I believe it 100%.
But the quarterback had to be no 1. I dont think I’ve ever cried more in my life
Dr. House, “Wilson’s Heart”
Jonathan Avila Yeah, that one kills me. The one where Kutner kills himself makes me cry, too.
The C word is also an incredibly sad episode.
This made me bawl
I completely agree with number 1. I would add "Thirteen" - The Hundred (the one with Lexa's death) and "Dramatics, your honor" and "The last call" - The Good Wife (the chapter when Will dies and the next one)
Silvia González Sánchez while Lexa's death was hard and very unexpected, I think spacewalker was a sadder episode because the building up to the moment with Finn's backstory and how he only took the blame to save Raven made it all the more heartbreaking, even if what he did was really horrible in the first place. Losing your first love, and having to be the one to kill him, is very brutal.
Will's death had me sobbing.
Degrassi- Give Me One Reason and Bittersweet Symphony Pt 2. Those 2 episodes get me every single time.
Morgan Washer clare and eli’s conversation in the car makes me lose it every time
YES
The episode when Rick brings a gun to school or when JT gets stabbed gets me all the time😩
the sexual harassment storyline with Claire gets me everytime
That glee episode has been one of the only episodes in a tv show that I have ever seen that has made me cry. I’ve cried in 3 shows including Glee, in only 1 episode a show. Only that episode truly brought me to tears and I still cry every time I watch it
Bea’s death- Wentworth; how it broke so many of the characters hearts and the fact that Bea planned it really broke my heart
Bea’s daughters death - Wentworth; how Bea was so broken for months...broke my heart
Poussey- orange is the new black; really broke my spirits because out of all the characters she deserved better than to die..she was such a greatly written character...
Tiffany aka dogget- orange is the new black; this death killed me because her character had developed the most throughout the show, showing she wanted better for herself and to just be better...and the fact that she thought she failed the test(which she actually passed) is literally the only reason she got high and accidentally overdosed shattered my heart...yea she wasn’t the nicest the best character at first...but by the last season she had changed so so much...that’s one of the few TV deaths that I think was uncalled for,that really shouldn’t happen because killing her off took away from the show- they shouldn’t have killed her...keeping her and having her see that she is smart enough and good enough and giving her hope would have made the ending of OITNB so much better and this is one of the only TV deaths that I thought the writers did the character dirty and that the writers did the wrong thing....they didn’t even show us how Boo felt about her best friends death, meaning Boo probably never found out...which is so shitty....never finding out about a best friend dying....that’s a low blow....
Red losing her memory(dementia)-orange is the new black; it broke me watching Red get worse and worse mentally... and watching the pain Nikki went through...
Lorna’s baby dies- orange is the new black; watching Lorna have the baby so early and Lorna not being able to be with her son...was scary and sad on its own but then the writers went even further and decided that Lorna’s son needed to be killed off...so Lorna’s son dies....THEN on top of that Vinny leaves Lorna’s during this hard time...just watching Lorna’s psyci get worse and worse really breaks your heart...Lorna was such a kinda loving person..a little crazy? Yes, but she had so much love to give....and I honestly think The writers did wrong...Lorna’s baby shouldn’t have been killed off...
Jack-This is us; this is another character death I find dirty and unfair...I get trying to psyc out the watchers by making them think jack is going to live because it’ll pull the heart strings more ...however I think they were really unfair about it... because I think they pulled the heart string TOO MUCH, after the episode that featured jacks death I couldn’t watch the show for months... and I had nightmares about his death(happening to someone in my family)...a heart attack is one of the worst ways to die...I had a friend whose dad had a heart attack, luckily he lived but he said it was really scary and really painful...he even remembers what the shock pads felt like...which is omg painful...then recovery afterwards was horrible...so watching/hearing about jacks death was extremely horrible because I knew how bad/scary/painful a heart attack is...obviously the writers wanted jacks death to break hearts and they succeeded...almost too well for my taste...
Micheals “death”- Jane the virgin; watching Jane and Micheal’s love get stronger and stronger throughout Jane the virgin and their wedding then having Micheal survive a gunshot on their wedding night just to have him “die” was so sad! Watching Jane break down the way she did...and have a hard couple months filled with grief and anxiety and depression wasn’t easy at all...I applaud the writers for writing that episode and the episodes right after...it’s not easy to write such a main characters “death” and continue on with the show afterwards so smoothly...everything just fit together so perfectly
The body is sadder than the becoming
The Body is such a powerful episode I cannot believe it didn't make number ONE on this list.
I'm surprised the one with fred didn't even make the list and was only an honorable mention
Well eveey grey‘s anatomy episode ever....
Bobby Singer.
I gave you a thumbs up because I agree. But honestly I wanted to give you a thumbs down for how freaking sad you just made me :(
Angel "I Will Remember You", scene where Angel reveals to Buffy that he's turning back time to become a human again to save her life could have made this list.
It's a shame Netflix removed Hannah's death scene from the show. Makes me think that most of the iconic scenes/episodes from past shows would not make it to television today. :/
I cried when Elena had her breakdown after Jeremy's death on TVD:'(
Hello what about Dr Greene on ER that should definitely been on the list that was so sad
Janice Nelson yes especially the letter!
Abso-freaking-lutely!
Every single time I cry. Every single time.
Oh man yes! The song that played with that scene is what made is even sadder
Buffy the vampire slayer: the body should have been the chosen episode.
Couple I’d submit to the list:
Breaking Bad: Hank’s death
Scrubs: the Brendan Fraser episode(s?)
Completely agree with number 1 😢
