Will breaking down in Uncle Phil’s arms after his dad walked away again broke me! He was always upbeat and funny and to see him devastated with ‘how come he don’t want me man’ tore me up!
Joyce was basically a parent to everyone in the Scooby Gang, and seeing them attempt to come to terms with her loss is just such a heartbreaking gut punch. 👊💔
"How come he don't want me, man?" Years after I initially saw this episode, it still has the power to make me bawl like a baby. You can also hear Karyn Parsons, AKA Hilary, crying, if you listen closely enough. 💔
I knew Buffy would make the list. It isn't just that a character died. Everything about the episode was just so well done, especially the irrationality of it all. They didn't make any platitudes or cheap sentiments. It was just raw.
It will be forever sad, took me many years to rewatch it again. Cory’s passing was as devastating as Naya’s all those years later. May they both RIP with the angels. I cannot listen to Don’t stop believing without crying, I see Cory every single time reaching out to Lea😢.
I have seen ER over and over again, and have never made it through the episode "On the Beach" without sobbing. There were quite a few moments in LOST that I cried through.
Gary Burghoff, who played Radar O'Reilly, was not told what was going to happen to Henry Blake so when Radar is reading the message of Blake's death, his reaction is 100% real, as is the reaction of the rest of the cast. They kept that plot twist a secret until the very end
The death of Jeese's grandfather on Full House and his conversation with Michelle in which he expresses his guilt over not being able to take care of his grandfather when he took care of him when he was a boy and he knows how much Michelle loved him too and they cry in each other's arms.😢😢
There more in Full House: - when the girls experience the loss of their mother in “Our Very First Show”, “The Slumber Party” and “Matchmaker Michelle” New Amsterdam - When Dr. Godwin’s wife died in an ambulance crash 911 -When Hen and Karen had to give Nia back after fostering her -When Buck and Maddie confronted their parents - when Maddie tried to commit suicide after accidentally drowning jee yun 911 Lone Star: -When Carlos’ father was killed -When TK fought for his life -When Tommy lost her husband -When Owen’s brother died - When Grace and her sisters were singing to their hospitalized father Criminal Minds - When Aaron Hotchner lost his wife station 19 - when Dean Miller died and When Vic and Gibson tried to cope with it
Romy Rosemont deserved an Emmy and every other award out there for her speech about the pain of a mother losing a child in glee. That BROKE me so hard. Even more than any other moment in that episode. So heartbreaking.
It gets me every time I watch this episode. The speech she gives is everything I felt and still feel today. We lost our 22 year old daughter May 22nd 2021. This type of pain never goes away.
M.A.S.H is the saddest and darkest sitcom ever, in my opinion. It may have had its funny moments and quirky characters, but it never hesitated to show the reality of war and what it was like to be a military surgeon from that era. That's also what made the show so great.
As a big fan of Glee back then, The Quarterback remains extremely heartbreaking. I was shattered when Cory passed and it was before the new season too. The whole cast mourning him and Lea singing Make You Feel My Love is so sad to watch as all the emotions were real. As for that Grey's Anatomy scene, Izzy crying over Denny's body is an image that sadly sticks in your head and it shows what an incredible actress Katherine Heigl truly is. This Is Us is also one of my top shows, we all knew we were gonna see Jack's death but it was still a gut punch as it finally happened including Rebecca's reaction upon seeing his body 💔💔💔
Grey's Anatomy, the talk that Bailey and her husband have with there son Tucker, about the police and how to survive getting pulled over was heartbreaking. And the dinnerscene with Penny next to Meredith after Dereks death was very real.
Another Angel episode that really gets me in the feels is You're Welcome, which was the death of Cordelia, and Charisma Carpenter's last appearance. Just excellent.
Grey's Anatomy sure gave us a lot of heartbreaking moments. One of my top ones was when the doctors learn the identity of the man who was hit by the bus and came in so badly maimed that they didn't recognize him.
There was an episode from Boy Meets World when Chet passed away from a heart attack and another one when one of the teachers got into an accident and Shawn asked God for not taking him away
Every one made me cry. Losing someone for real is devastating & even in these mostly fictional circumstances.. it’s pain. I remember being around Cory and the cast. He was better than he knew.
My god, that Grey's Anatomy scene broke me. I was so invested in Izzie and Denny overcoming it all and finding happiness. To have that yanked away with Denny's death pierced my soul.
The episode with Bill & Frank was absolutely amazing. I cried like an absolute baby. Love love love The Last of Us! Pedro Pascal is the Joel we needed & deserve. I can't wait for season 2. 😊❤
There are two TV episodes on this list that really made me cry. One of them was the "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" episode where Will's dad leaves him again. Although the episode of Fresh Prince breaks me every time, a TV episode has never made me cry as much as the "Goodbye" episode from "8 Simple Rules." I am a new fan of John Ritter, and I recently watched the show as well as "Three's Company" for the first time (both shows), and I love what I see. I genuinely LOVE John Ritter, and those episodes (they were a part 1 and part 2) broke me so much that I couldn't finish the show. I only made it through about an episode or two more.😭❤️
Mark Greene's death in ER just about shattered me. He was one of my favorite characters and when I heard that he was leaving the show, I cried. Seeing his last hurrah was heartbreaking. Rose's departure in Doctor Who was upsetting, but I think the more heartbreaking one was Donna, and how The Doctor had to wipe her memory in order to save her life. Seeing the pain in her gaze as she started shaking her head and his reaction to having to do it to her makes me cry every time... So does hearing Ten say "I don't want to go" at the end of "The End of Time" makes me bawl even after seeing it twenty times. Doctor Who has a lot of heartbreaking moments. Another episode that made me cry was "For Warrick", the season 9 premiere of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation... Watching the character's reactions to Warrick's passing, then Nick almost killing Under Sherriff McKeen in his anger and grief... As an honorable mention, Grave Danger, the Season 5 closer, was another one that made me cry, I didn't think Nick was going to get out of the coffin alive.
I had forgotten about those episodes of CSI. Thank you for reminding me of them and yes I sobbed with both episodes. And I was a Gleek and cried watching many episodes and the Quarterback came at a time in the show where I had just about checked out but I'm so glad that I was still watching because episodes like that that were heartbreaking made it so worth it. And yes, the Doctor Who episode where Donna's memory was wiped and the one episode that happened a few after that with the line "I don't want to go" after he saves Donna's grandfather are such amazing and moments that make me cry so much.
The part of "The Quarterback" when we've spent the entire episode watching as Kurt accuses Puck of stealing Finn's jacket only for the audience to find out at the end that it was actually _Will_ who took the jacket is devastating and gets me every time
@@gerardgarcia8501Uh, no. Pretty sure, just like everyone else on the show, he was just heartbroken and devastated that Finn was dead. Like, Cory Monteith ACTUALLY died and it was heart wrenching. No one gave a single fuck about whatever stupid episode you’re referencing.
@@stephaniefoti8665 exactly. The grief you see on the show is the actors' ACTUAL grief. Also Will had long since forgiven Finn for kissing Emma by that point

That boy meets world episode makes me sad enough, but what makes me even sadder is that in the flash forward, Angela leaves all the friends behind at the reunion and then on girl meets world, it basically came true as none of them are friends with her or even happy to see her when she comes :(
I will never forget watching “The Quarterback” for the first time. I’ve lost a lot of people in my life and seeing this was a great episode to show how it affects people.
I'm not sure how this list could be created without the Thirty Something episode where Gary dies. No one saw it coming, in fact, fans of the show were bracing for the death of Nancy. Gary's death came out of nowhere. I cannot watch it today without crying.
My Greys Anatomy episode is - Silent all these years. Khalilah Joi was phenomenal in this episode. Her speech was heartbreaking in how true it was. How many women have had these same thoughts regarding assault. “We all know if I do that kit, it ends up in the back of some police station, ignored for years while I sit there wondering when the bomb will go off, waiting to see if a jury of my peers will believe a woman who wore a skirt a few inches too short, who had a few cocktails too many at a bar last night after having a fight about laundry with her husband. And you know the tequila I drank will make it my fault, and whoever did this to me, whatever he drank that'll be his excuse! Is your kit gonna convince them I wasn't flirting at the bar? If I give them my story and my underwear, will it prove to them or to my husband that I didn't cheat on him and make up some story just to save my own ass? Will your kit do that?” 😭
I know that future episode of Young Sheldon where George Cooper dies is gonna be a real tear jerker. Even though we know it's coming. I've never cried at any movie or tv show but when that episode comes to our screens, I might actually cry.
18:34 #4 “The Body”. This is the episode that I skip when I rewatch Buffy. It was sad before but it was even worse after I lost my Mom to cancer in 2015. Why not include the last episode of Chuck? Chuck had to tell Sarah about their past and they kiss then the episode ends. We are left wondering if Sarah regains her memory.
The episode where Denny dies is so hard, but I found the episode when George was discovered to be the man hit by a bus so much worse. When Meredith figures it out it wrecks me.
Corrections: - In 5:06 at No. 16, Ben was actually Dr. Cox’s ex-brother-in-law (his ex-wife’s Jordan’s brother), not his brother. He was lovable and it was a really sad episode though. Definitely tear-worthy.
I know you don't think about tearjerking moments when you think about Futurama, but the final minute of the episode called "Jurassic Bark" really blindsides you with an unexpected emotional wallop. Absolutely deserves a spot on the top ten here.
Grey's Anatomy gave me at LEAST 6. Christina being left at the altar, Denny Duquette & Izzie, McDreamy being shot, McDreamy diving in the 🌊 to get Meredith and more. 1 Tree Hill was my late teens early 20s ❤❤❤
Great video! Two episodes that needed to be added to the list was the Degrassi episode where JT died and the Sesame Street episode where people were trying to tell Big Bird that Mr Hooper died.
Hell Hath No Fury from Charmed where Piper's grieving for Prue goes into overdrive and finally kicks and screams is a testament for how Piper is ready to be the new matriarch of the Halliwell clan and leader of the Charmed Ones. The Body from Buffy never fails to break my heart or turn into a waterfall of tears. From Sarah Michelle Gellar's shocking and captivating to Emma Caulfield's (Anya) speech for not understanding morality.
I'm shocked that her funeral didn't make it into the list, or Leo sacrificing himself leading us on a flashback of everyone who died on the show. Prue, Patty and Grams were the most crucial deaths we had to endure. How did none of them make the cut?!
The end of the Emily Lake episode of Warehouse 13. Claudia's scream at finding Jinx breaks me every time. Then Track and Field's cover of Kate Bush's Running Up that Hill doesn't help much either. Whenever I hear that song, I don't think of Stranger Things, I think of this episode
I would have chosen a different MASH scene. The finale had a scene that haunts me to this day. Hawkeye is in therapy relaying an event, but it was the shocking twist had me bawling.
The episode of Roseanne where Darlene has the baby and it ends with the song Black Bird has always gotten to me. I can't hear that song without crying.
I watched ER for years but never made it as far as Dr Greene’s death, and I’m glad. The clips in this list alone made me cry like an infant. I had to watch my own father die from cancer so it hits far too close to home. The episode of Fresh Prince of Bel Air with Will’s father is always so heart-wrenching. Will finally breaking down and saying “Why don’t he want me, man?” (Or words to that effect) is just horrible to watch. Your heart really breaks for him. Fantastic acting from a young Mr Smith.
Honorable mentions, Bobby Ewings death in a season finale of Dallas and Jamie Sommers (The Bionic Woman) death in The Six Million Dollar Man. Both crushed me as a kid. As far as Greys Anatomy, I think the season 5 finale of George's death was the one that broke me.
Let’s not forget Seventh Heaven when Lucy broke down from losing her best friend and Growing Pains when Matthew Perry’s Sandy died leaving Maggie broken hearted.
Great list. I'd like to add the episode of House where Dr. Wilson's girlfriend, Amber, dies. The whole thing was just gut-wrenching. I'd also like to say I've never seen How I Met Your Mother, but the clip you showed just now, where that man said, "I'm not ready for this," was really raw and genuine. I felt that; that's good acting.
I’m sorry but, while all of these are most certainly tearjerkers, I have to ask… where was Criminal minds episode ‘100’ I dare you to watch that episode without sobbing. I have watched it at least six times and I still start crying my eyes out, and I pride myself in rarely crying over TV! But seeing Hotch’s face during his phone call with Haley… urgh I’m almost crying thinking about it! But seriously why wasn’t it at least mentioned? I can easily think of other criminal minds episodes that make me want to ugly cry (Profiler Profiled looking at you…) Thanks for reading my rant! Have a fantastic day and let all your TV series new episodes not leave you sobbing :)
I was never a fan of Glee, but even I found the Quarterback VERY hard to watch because everyone was still coming to terms with what was happening at the time 😢😢😢😢
Oooh, why did I watch this video? Thinking about Dr. Green dying and when Denny died. And that Last of Us episode. And Uncle Phil holding a crying Will. And forget This is Us, I cried on every episode! And whatever Glee and that Quarterback episode
The golden girls episodes ebbtides revenge and ebb tide really hit home but the episode old friends hits home even harder with the Alvin storyline having dementia as my neighbour had it
How about the death of Big Daddy. I get chocked up every time we see Blanche at her father's graveside and she says to Dorothy, "I'm nobody's little girl anymore." My heart aches for her.
Also, as someone who watched HIMYM from start to finish during it's original run, I will argue that Bad News is one of the saddest episodes of television I have ever seen. My wife still skips the episode if we are rewatching the series.
I don't know how you could leave out the death of Elsa Dutton in 1883. Her death spans episodes 9 & 10. She dies slowly we get moments of hope a couple of times but no one can save her and her parents watch her slowly slip away. She faces her death her way sitting under the tree of her choice as her father, James Dutton (Tim McGraw) holds her in his arms as she finally passes away.
Naya's performance of "When I Die Young" in The Quarterback, and how she can't even finish the song before breaking down will never cease to wrench my heart in two.
A show to consider for this as well would have been Private Practice. So many tearjerking episodes. When Addison is stuck in a car wreck, when Addisons moms wife dies right after they got married and Addison tries to be there for her, when Erica dies, when Charlotte is attacked or the Episode where they have Petes memorial… I could go on and on but that show has mede me cry more than any other
You’ve missed the only episode that’s ever made me cry. The death of Dr Lance Sweets in Bones. No matter how many times I watch Bones from the pilot to the last episode it’s gets me every time. That and the death of Vincent Nigel Murray 😢
OMG Vincent crying and saying he didn't want to go, left me a mess for the rest of the episode. Then the reprisal of the Lime in the Coconut song at Sweets death... oooh
@@robertpettit5394 I had watched episodes of Bones here and there while it was on TV, but not the whole series. But being in bed for weeks after an injuries recently, I watched it all and the death of Vincent Nigel Murray, saying he wanted to stay was so hard to watch. Dr Sweets was hard to but I knew it was coming, so I wasn't taken aback.

Will breaking down in Uncle Phil’s arms after his dad walked away again broke me! He was always upbeat and funny and to see him devastated with ‘how come he don’t want me man’ tore me up!
Will ad-libbed the speech.
@Vaughndaleoulaw he didn't. Urban legend.
The acting in that scene was so amazing that when Will and James (Uncle Phil) were hugging, James whispered into Will's ear, "now that was acting."
Katherine Heigl’s performance when Denny dies is among the best acting performances of the entire series for sure.
What show was this?
@@karenhammond7690 Grey’s Anatomy
8 Simple Rules #RipJOHNRITTER
I love how the other guy (I forgot his name) picked her up let her cry in his arms. It was so romantic and sad at the same time.
This make me cry everytime 😢😢
Santana's screams as she becomes unable to even finish her song are heartbreaking. I break down every time
Joyce was basically a parent to everyone in the Scooby Gang, and seeing them attempt to come to terms with her loss is just such a heartbreaking gut punch. 👊💔
"How come he don't want me, man?" Years after I initially saw this episode, it still has the power to make me bawl like a baby. You can also hear Karyn Parsons, AKA Hilary, crying, if you listen closely enough. 💔
Heartbreaking reality for some.
agreed. I still can't see it and not bawl.
Wills emotions were raw and real, his dad in real life was like this to him.
I knew Buffy would make the list. It isn't just that a character died. Everything about the episode was just so well done, especially the irrationality of it all. They didn't make any platitudes or cheap sentiments. It was just raw.
Anya's struggle to understand death and bereavement breaks me everytime I watch the episode. Stellar writing and acting all around.
The quaterback is one of the most depressing tv show’s episode ever aired
💯
It will be forever sad, took me many years to rewatch it again. Cory’s passing was as devastating as Naya’s all those years later. May they both RIP with the angels. I cannot listen to Don’t stop believing without crying, I see Cory every single time reaching out to Lea😢.
I have seen ER over and over again, and have never made it through the episode "On the Beach" without sobbing. There were quite a few moments in LOST that I cried through.
if i hear the song
it automaticaly takes me back to it
Gary Burghoff, who played Radar O'Reilly, was not told what was going to happen to Henry Blake so when Radar is reading the message of Blake's death, his reaction is 100% real, as is the reaction of the rest of the cast. They kept that plot twist a secret until the very end
The only one who knew was Alan Alda.
I heard none of the actors.knew in that scene
The death of Jeese's grandfather on Full House and his conversation with Michelle in which he expresses his guilt over not being able to take care of his grandfather when he took care of him when he was a boy and he knows how much Michelle loved him too and they cry in each other's arms.😢😢

Romy Rosemont deserved an Emmy and every other award out there for her speech about the pain of a mother losing a child in glee. That BROKE me so hard. Even more than any other moment in that episode. So heartbreaking.
It gets me every time I watch this episode. The speech she gives is everything I felt and still feel today. We lost our 22 year old daughter May 22nd 2021. This type of pain never goes away.
As the father of a deceased daughter, I know that pain all too well. No parent should have to bury their child.😢
M.A.S.H is the saddest and darkest sitcom ever, in my opinion. It may have had its funny moments and quirky characters, but it never hesitated to show the reality of war and what it was like to be a military surgeon from that era. That's also what made the show so great.
I read where Alan Alda only agreed to do the show if they made sure there was a hospital scene in every episode.
@@laurellane1721 Sounds like something he'd do. He was always committed to his roles like that.
That's so true and sad at the same time
As a big fan of Glee back then, The Quarterback remains extremely heartbreaking. I was shattered when Cory passed and it was before the new season too. The whole cast mourning him and Lea singing Make You Feel My Love is so sad to watch as all the emotions were real.

Piper grieving over the loss of Prue and crying at her grave tears me apart.
yes
Grey's Anatomy, the talk that Bailey and her husband have with there son Tucker, about the police and how to survive getting pulled over was heartbreaking. And the dinnerscene with Penny next to Meredith after Dereks death was very real.
Another Angel episode that really gets me in the feels is You're Welcome, which was the death of Cordelia, and Charisma Carpenter's last appearance. Just excellent.
Michael J. Fox Leaving Spin City (1996-2002) After His Parkinson's Disease Diagnosis loved that sitcom back then
Grey's Anatomy sure gave us a lot of heartbreaking moments. One of my top ones was when the doctors learn the identity of the man who was hit by the bus and came in so badly maimed that they didn't recognize him.
The scene with Meridith and he writes "007" on her hand breaks me,I cry everytime.
@@michellekennedy4426 Yes, exactly. :)
That episode of ER gets me every single freaking time. Heck I had tears as it was featured. In my world, that was number one.
That scene in Glee where Finns mom talks about a parent loosing a child, is SO incredibly sad and brilliantly acted. I sob just thinking about it.
Dean's death on Supernatural should have been on this list. Along with Sybil and Matthew's deaths on 'Downton Abbey.'
There was an episode from Boy Meets World when Chet passed away from a heart attack and another one when one of the teachers got into an accident and Shawn asked God for not taking him away
I would include Death's Door from Supernatural. Bobby's death makes me bawl every single time.
The scene in True Blood S1 where Sookie eats the last pie her grandmother ever made ALWAYS chokes me up.
Yesssss that is so good
And it makes so much sense
The quarterback episode broke me. I cant watch it to this day without sobbing
Every one made me cry. Losing someone for real is devastating & even in these mostly fictional circumstances.. it’s pain. I remember being around Cory and the cast. He was better than he knew.

How did Criminal Minds NOT make this list!? Haley's death, Gideon's departure/death, Reid and Maeve's relationship... the list is endless!
Yes! I’m currently doing my first watch of CM and episode 100 always makes me sob when I see the scene when Haley dies
Criminal Minds when Hotch couldnt save his ex wife from The Reaper and has to listen to her murder over the phone.
And when Maeve was murdered and the entire prison arc.
There are two TV episodes on this list that really made me cry. One of them was the "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" episode where Will's dad leaves him again.
Although the episode of Fresh Prince breaks me every time, a TV episode has never made me cry as much as the "Goodbye" episode from "8 Simple Rules." I am a new fan of John Ritter, and I recently watched the show as well as "Three's Company" for the first time (both shows), and I love what I see. I genuinely LOVE John Ritter, and those episodes (they were a part 1 and part 2) broke me so much that I couldn't finish the show. I only made it through about an episode or two more.😭❤️
the quaterback is the television episode i cry the most to. the entire episode is heartbreaking.
I can’t watch that episode without crying. I LOVED Cory Monteith, it still makes me so sad that he and Naya passed away so young and so tragically.
Mark Greene's death in ER just about shattered me. He was one of my favorite characters and when I heard that he was leaving the show, I cried. Seeing his last hurrah was heartbreaking.
Rose's departure in Doctor Who was upsetting, but I think the more heartbreaking one was Donna, and how The Doctor had to wipe her memory in order to save her life.

Thanks Ms Mojo for the emotional gut punches 🥺😭
Denny though😔 when Izzy losses him, the message he left about her to his parents...
Also, 11:29 💔
Brendan Fraser on scrubs was the only time I cried from a tv show. I hope it made the list
It did!
I bawled like a baby when I watched "Long, Long Time." So beautifully told. That episode is a masterpiece of storytelling.
One of the best episodes of scripted tv ever.

I will never forget watching “The Quarterback” for the first time. I’ve lost a lot of people in my life and seeing this was a great episode to show how it affects people.

My Greys Anatomy episode is - Silent all these years.
Khalilah Joi was phenomenal in this episode. Her speech was heartbreaking in how true it was. How many women have had these same thoughts regarding assault.
“We all know if I do that kit, it ends up in the back of some police station, ignored for years while I sit there wondering when the bomb will go off, waiting to see if a jury of my peers will believe a woman who wore a skirt a few inches too short, who had a few cocktails too many at a bar last night after having a fight about laundry with her husband. And you know the tequila I drank will make it my fault, and whoever did this to me, whatever he drank that'll be his excuse! Is your kit gonna convince them I wasn't flirting at the bar? If I give them my story and my underwear, will it prove to them or to my husband that I didn't cheat on him and make up some story just to save my own ass? Will your kit do that?” 😭
The fact that Piper crying at Prue's grave/stone didn't make this list is the saddest part of all.
agree
When JT passed away in Degrassi my middle school heart never recovered 😩
In Grey’s when all the doctors learn that bus guy is George breaks me every time
I know that future episode of Young Sheldon where George Cooper dies is gonna be a real tear jerker. Even though we know it's coming. I've never cried at any movie or tv show but when that episode comes to our screens, I might actually cry.
Charlie's death on Lost kills me everytime.
And locke
Juliet's death for me, plus Desmond & Penny's reunion.
18:34 #4 “The Body”. This is the episode that I skip when I rewatch Buffy. It was sad before but it was even worse after I lost my Mom to cancer in 2015.
Why not include the last episode of Chuck? Chuck had to tell Sarah about their past and they kiss then the episode ends. We are left wondering if Sarah regains her memory.
I’ve never seen Buffy, but The Body is triggering because my grandpa, my final grandparent, passed away in his sleep in March like Buffy’s mom.
The episode where Denny dies is so hard, but I found the episode when George was discovered to be the man hit by a bus so much worse. When Meredith figures it out it wrecks me.
Corrections: - In 5:06 at No. 16, Ben was actually Dr. Cox’s ex-brother-in-law (his ex-wife’s Jordan’s brother), not his brother. He was lovable and it was a really sad episode though. Definitely tear-worthy.
Losing Miguel on " This Is Us" had me crying forever.
I know you don't think about tearjerking moments when you think about Futurama, but the final minute of the episode called "Jurassic Bark" really blindsides you with an unexpected emotional wallop. Absolutely deserves a spot on the top ten here.
The fact that Justin's death from 13RW wasn't included is mind blowing
Reminder
RIP Naya Rivera
The Fresh Prince Of Bell-Air when Will's father leaves
Papouli's death on Full House
Sheesh. I don't even remember how many times I've seen Glee's 'The Quarterback' but hell... It has made me sob every single time.
In Memorium (Riverdale's tribute to Luke Perry) not being on this list is a damn crime
Grey's Anatomy gave me at LEAST 6. Christina being left at the altar, Denny Duquette & Izzie, McDreamy being shot, McDreamy diving in the 🌊 to get Meredith and more. 1 Tree Hill was my late teens early 20s ❤❤❤
As well as George. That tore me up, he was my favorite.
I will always cry watching the Quarterback episode.
Great video! Two episodes that needed to be added to the list was the Degrassi episode where JT died and the Sesame Street episode where people were trying to tell Big Bird that Mr Hooper died.
When JT died it broke me like we literally watched him grow up
Mr. Looper
Hell Hath No Fury from Charmed where Piper's grieving for Prue goes into overdrive and finally kicks and screams is a testament for how Piper is ready to be the new matriarch of the Halliwell clan and leader of the Charmed Ones.
The Body from Buffy never fails to break my heart or turn into a waterfall of tears. From Sarah Michelle Gellar's shocking and captivating to Emma Caulfield's (Anya) speech for not understanding morality.
I'm shocked that her funeral didn't make it into the list, or Leo sacrificing himself leading us on a flashback of everyone who died on the show. Prue, Patty and Grams were the most crucial deaths we had to endure. How did none of them make the cut?!
Criminal Minds-Haley's death and everyone hearing it, just gets me EVERY time!
How "The Son" from Friday Night Lights or "Loves Labour Lost" from ER didnt make the list is beyond me
The end of the Emily Lake episode of Warehouse 13. Claudia's scream at finding Jinx breaks me every time. Then Track and Field's cover of Kate Bush's Running Up that Hill doesn't help much either. Whenever I hear that song, I don't think of Stranger Things, I think of this episode
Alot of these episodes had me reaching for the tissues, especially 8 Simple Rules and Scrubs. 😪💔
Ok I’m disappointed that you did not include Rock This Town from Degrassi because that episode makes everybody cry.
Florida evans from good times should have been in here. DAMN DAMN DAMN!! 😢
I agree. I was expecting to see that episode mentioned when they announced each number. Good Times was an amazing show.
There is also
eddie from stranger things dean from supernatural
otis from chicago fire
Dan from roseanne
Prue from charmed
I would have chosen a different MASH scene. The finale had a scene that haunts me to this day. Hawkeye is in therapy relaying an event, but it was the shocking twist had me bawling.
The episode of Roseanne where Darlene has the baby and it ends with the song Black Bird has always gotten to me. I can't hear that song without crying.
I watched ER for years but never made it as far as Dr Greene’s death, and I’m glad. The clips in this list alone made me cry like an infant. I had to watch my own father die from cancer so it hits far too close to home.
The episode of Fresh Prince of Bel Air with Will’s father is always so heart-wrenching. Will finally breaking down and saying “Why don’t he want me, man?” (Or words to that effect) is just horrible to watch. Your heart really breaks for him. Fantastic acting from a young Mr Smith.
Honorable mentions, Bobby Ewings death in a season finale of Dallas and Jamie Sommers (The Bionic Woman) death in The Six Million Dollar Man. Both crushed me as a kid. As far as Greys Anatomy, I think the season 5 finale of George's death was the one that broke me.
Let’s not forget Seventh Heaven when Lucy broke down from losing her best friend and Growing Pains when Matthew Perry’s Sandy died leaving Maggie broken hearted.
""You had no right to leave me that way eidith, without giving me just one last chance to say that i love you""
Great list. I'd like to add the episode of House where Dr. Wilson's girlfriend, Amber, dies. The whole thing was just gut-wrenching. I'd also like to say I've never seen How I Met Your Mother, but the clip you showed just now, where that man said, "I'm not ready for this," was really raw and genuine. I felt that; that's good acting.
The last of us episode 3 made me cry more than any other show ever has. I lost it at the dinner scene
I’m sorry but, while all of these are most certainly tearjerkers, I have to ask… where was Criminal minds episode ‘100’ I dare you to watch that episode without sobbing. I have watched it at least six times and I still start crying my eyes out, and I pride myself in rarely crying over TV! But seeing Hotch’s face during his phone call with Haley… urgh I’m almost crying thinking about it!
But seriously why wasn’t it at least mentioned? I can easily think of other criminal minds episodes that make me want to ugly cry (Profiler Profiled looking at you…)
Thanks for reading my rant! Have a fantastic day and let all your TV series new episodes not leave you sobbing :)
For some reason the death on a sitcom that always got me was when on The Wonder Years Kevin Arnold’s math teacher Mr. Collins died.
Nothing from 'Supernatural'? Seriously? You could get 20 tearjerking moments from that show alone.
I was never a fan of Glee, but even I found the Quarterback VERY hard to watch because everyone was still coming to terms with what was happening at the time 😢😢😢😢
Dr Greene dying still hits hard.
Oooh, why did I watch this video? Thinking about Dr. Green dying and when Denny died. And that Last of Us episode. And Uncle Phil holding a crying Will. And forget This is Us, I cried on every episode! And whatever Glee and that Quarterback episode
The golden girls episodes ebbtides revenge and ebb tide really hit home but the episode old friends hits home even harder with the Alvin storyline having dementia as my neighbour had it
How about the death of Big Daddy. I get chocked up every time we see Blanche at her father's graveside and she says to Dorothy, "I'm nobody's little girl anymore." My heart aches for her.
Buffy's mom death was the saddest ep ever I never cried so much over this.
For me, it wasn't that it was sad, it was just so out of no where. And then to have the following episode with no background sounds. Ugh.
@@Terahnee and it wasn't a supernatural death it's a death anybody can get and that's what was really sad to me.
Also, as someone who watched HIMYM from start to finish during it's original run, I will argue that Bad News is one of the saddest episodes of television I have ever seen. My wife still skips the episode if we are rewatching the series.
I don't know how you could leave out the death of Elsa Dutton in 1883. Her death spans episodes 9 & 10. She dies slowly we get moments of hope a couple of times but no one can save her and her parents watch her slowly slip away. She faces her death her way sitting under the tree of her choice as her father, James Dutton (Tim McGraw) holds her in his arms as she finally passes away.
Naya's performance of "When I Die Young" in The Quarterback, and how she can't even finish the song before breaking down will never cease to wrench my heart in two.
My list includes Bones. The deaths of Sweets and Vincent both had me sobbing. 😥😥
I start crying at the beginning of both episodes as I know what’s coming. It’s truly heartbreaking and the way that Booth blamed himself for Vincent
@@tattieb1976 Me, too! And I have seen that episode so many times!!
Watching Will break down in Uncle Phil's arms just made cry again. 😢
Must have been hard picking a Doctor Who episode. There are so many that made _me_ cry.
A show to consider for this as well would have been Private Practice. So many tearjerking episodes. When Addison is stuck in a car wreck, when Addisons moms wife dies right after they got married and Addison tries to be there for her, when Erica dies, when Charlotte is attacked or the Episode where they have Petes memorial… I could go on and on but that show has mede me cry more than any other
You’ve missed the only episode that’s ever made me cry. The death of Dr Lance Sweets in Bones. No matter how many times I watch Bones from the pilot to the last episode it’s gets me every time. That and the death of Vincent Nigel Murray 😢
OMG Vincent crying and saying he didn't want to go, left me a mess for the rest of the episode. Then the reprisal of the Lime in the Coconut song at Sweets death... oooh
@@robertpettit5394 I had watched episodes of Bones here and there while it was on TV, but not the whole series. But being in bed for weeks after an injuries recently, I watched it all and the death of Vincent Nigel Murray, saying he wanted to stay was so hard to watch. Dr Sweets was hard to but I knew it was coming, so I wasn't taken aback.
