00:00You don't got some, Mom, do you, Chucky?
00:02Nope.
00:03How come?
00:04I don't know. I just don't got one.
00:06Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're looking at some of the most heartbreaking episodes of our favorite animated shows.
00:13We won't be including anime as it's worth its own list.
00:17Expect spoilers ahead.
00:19And remember, it's okay to cry.
00:23Bye, Mommy. Bye, Daddy.
00:26Number 30. Twisted Sister. The Powerpuff Girls.
00:32Feeling run down from crime fighting, the girls decide to create a new sister to take the edge off,
00:38and thus we're introduced to Bunny, the new Powerpuff.
00:42She's eager to please her big sisters, but she's a little bulky and not too bright.
00:47Bunny! Bunny!
00:49Okay, that's good. Okay, stop! Stop!
00:53Good.
00:53However, when every crook in Townsville attacks the girls, Bunny single-handedly saves her sisters.
01:00But instead of a happy ending, poor Bunny disintegrates as her unstable genetic structure gives out.
01:06The girls are left to mourn the loss of their sister, regretting the harsh words they said to her.
01:11It's so heart-wrenching that even the narrator breaks down in tears as he honors the departed hero.
01:16The day is saved thanks to Powerpuff Bunny!
01:23Powerbubble!
01:28Number 29. The Titanium Ninja.
01:32Ninjago.
01:33Zane was a nindroid, an android ninja, but was no less a vital part of the team.
01:39That makes the following scene all the more painful.
01:41Here, you take it.
01:43No, you are vital to this mission. Don't worry about me.
01:50I shall see you again.
01:53In the Season 3 finale, the evil Overlord has evolved into the Golden Master and is laying waste to Ninjago City.
02:00Zane asks his friends to support him one last time as he makes his move.
02:05He gets up close and personal with Overlord and overloads himself, his life flashing before his eyes.
02:11Zane's sacrifice ensured the safety of his friends and the city, and he's given the proper memorial he deserves.
02:18He taught us that life should be a balance.
02:21Technology can improve our lives, but so can people.
02:26However, the final scene gives us hope that we haven't seen the last of the metallic ninja.
02:31Number 28. How Long Is Forever?
02:33Teen Titans
02:34Starfire is saddened to see her friends bickering and concerned about their friendship.
02:40The Titans assure her that she has nothing to worry about, or so they think.
02:44We're getting on each other's nerves a little. Big deal.
02:47Yeah, this is just typical roommate stuff.
02:51We're not going to drift apart, Star.
02:53During a battle, Starfire ends up stuck in the future, and it is a nightmare.
02:58The city has been devastated, and the Teen Titans have disbanded.
03:02The Titans have become isolated and miserable, showing how fragile their friendship was without Starfire.
03:08While the episode ends happily with Starfire returning to the present,
03:12it's gut-wrenching to picture a future where the Titans drifted apart after everything they've been through.
03:18Hopefully, this bleak scenario teaches viewers not to take their friendships for granted.
03:22Who knows how long they could last?
03:25I don't want us to drift apart.
03:27Does it all have to happen?
03:29Isn't there anything we can-
03:30Our friendship has already changed Warp's past.
03:34I believe it can also change our future.
03:37Number 27. Long Live the Queen.
03:40The Lion Guard.
03:41This episode premiered with a content warning in front because they knew it would be a tearjerker,
03:46and they did not disappoint.
03:48Jonna, Rani's grandmother and the queen of her pack,
03:51is nearing the end of her journey in the circle of life.
03:54With her family and Kion around her,
03:57she bids a warm goodbye to each and every one of them before handing the crown to Rani.
04:01But I still have so much to learn.
04:04Rani, you have everything you need to be queen, and you won't be alone.
04:09She passes peacefully, and everyone is a weeping mess, especially the audience.
04:15Death is nothing new in the Lion King franchise,
04:18but it is never easy to face, even in a series aimed at a younger audience.
04:23I'm so sorry, Rani.
04:25Thank you, Kion.
04:30Number 26. Tale of X-49. Samurai Jack.
04:35Usually, Aku's robots are shown to be emotionless hunters,
04:38whose only goal in life is to destroy Samurai Jack for their master.
04:43This is not the case for X-49, an assassin robot programmed with emotions.
04:48See, one of the scientists installed an experimental emotion chip inside of me.
04:55Why?
04:56He was funny that way.
04:58He had retired from killing to be with his beloved puppy, Lulu.
05:02However, Aku blackmailed him into hunting the Samurai against his will.
05:07Hey, Kat, Lulu.
05:10Sweet thing.
05:12I had no choice.
05:14Sadly, we all know what happens to a robot that crosses paths with the Samurai.
05:19Even though we're rooting for Jack to defeat Aku,
05:21X-49's story is devastating,
05:24and he's the first opponent Jack shows remorse for destroying.
05:27It feels weird shedding tears over one of Aku's minions,
05:31and yet, here we are.
05:33Number 25. Remember It.
05:35X-Men 97.
05:37While visiting the mutant nation of Genosha,
05:40Rogue is at a crossroads between rekindling relationship with Magneto
05:44and her feelings for Gambit.
05:45But just as she's made her decision,
05:47a monstrous sentinel crashes the party,
05:50laying waste to the island and slaughtering any mutant in its path.
05:54The carnage is intense and uncomfortable,
05:57paralleling real-world terrorist attacks.
05:59But the madness finally ends with Gambit making the most heroic sacrifice ever.
06:04Gambit, see your bed.
06:06And raise it!
06:13Could the cards always be in my favor?
06:16When the dust clears,
06:17we see Rogue clinging to the lifeless body of her beloved swamp rat
06:21and sobbing her heart out.
06:23All the while,
06:24we try to control our own tears
06:26as a beloved X-Man goes out in a harrowing display.
06:30The name's Gambit.
06:31Oh, not me.
06:41Number 24.
06:43The last crash of the Sun Chaser.
06:45DuckTales.
06:46Scrooge McDuck has come a long way
06:48since his nephews moved in with him,
06:50turning from a grouchy shut-in
06:51to an adventurous family man.
06:53However,
06:54tensions build when he confesses to the triplets
06:56what happened to their mom,
06:58and they want nothing more to do with him.
07:00You built her a crazy dangerous super rocket,
07:03which she stole Ellie.
07:04Then you encouraged her to keep flying through a cosmic storm?
07:07You could have called her down.
07:08There were too many variables.
07:09What's more tragic
07:10is that we see a flashback of Scrooge
07:12nearly going bankrupt,
07:14trying to find Della.
07:15So hearing his nephews accusing him of not caring
07:18stings twice as much.
07:20Having pushed all his loved ones away,
07:22Scrooge is back to square one,
07:24bitter and alone.
07:25David Tennant's voice acting
07:26only adds more emotional depth
07:28to the richest duck in the world,
07:30hitting rock bottom.
07:31I hope you're happy.
07:38I am.
07:40Number 23.
07:42Forget Me Not.
07:43The Wild Thornberries.
07:44While in Africa,
07:46Eliza befriends an elderly elephant named Rebecca,
07:49whom her father rescued when he was a young man.
07:52The bond between Eliza and Rebecca is heartwarming,
07:55almost like a grandmother and granddaughter relationship.
07:58I'm not surprised that my old friend's offspring
08:01is so clever.
08:04Well, in a way, I owe it all to you.
08:06If my dad hadn't met you,
08:07he might have never become a naturalist.
08:09Sadly, Rebecca's time is running out,
08:11and at the end of the day,
08:12she passes away peacefully with Eliza tearfully by her side.
08:16It's never easy to say goodbye to a friend,
08:19even one you just met.
08:20But at least Rebecca got to live a long life,
08:23made more prosperous by having met Eliza and Nigel.
08:27I'll never forget today, or you,
08:30and neither will my father.
08:33Such a good man.
08:34Thank you for reuniting me with my old friend.
08:40We should all be so lucky to live life to the fullest,
08:43as this wise old pachyderm did.
08:46Number 22.
08:47The Hardest Thing.
08:49Amphibia.
08:50The finale of this acclaimed Disney series
08:52has two tearjerkers for the price of one.
08:55The first gut-wrencher occurs during the final battle against the Corps.
08:59Please don't do this.
09:00Don't go.
09:01I don't know what I'll do without you.
09:04You're my everything.
09:06You changed my life.
09:08Anne sacrifices herself to save the city,
09:11and her loved ones gather around her
09:13as she disintegrates into thin air.
09:16Miraculously, she is revived from the dead,
09:18only to face something arguably worse,
09:21saying goodbye.
09:22It's time for Anne to return home,
09:24but not before having to part with the planters.
09:26The little amphibians who became a second family to her.
09:30Thanks for taking me in.
09:31I'm so lucky to call myself a planter.
09:34I'm the lucky one, Anne.
09:36I'm so blessed to have a granddaughter like you.
09:39The actual hardest thing is trying to make it through this episode with dry eyes.
09:43We guarantee it's impossible.
09:46Number 21.
09:47King's Tide.
09:48The Owl House.
09:49The draining spell is unleashed,
09:51and the final phase of Belos' grand scheme has begun.
09:54To save everyone,
09:56King is forced to make the most difficult decision of all,
09:59release the collector,
10:00and allow him to turn the boiling aisles into his personal playhouse.
10:04Luce tries to stay behind to let her friends escape,
10:07but King forces her to leave him behind and return to the human realm.
10:11We've got to stick together.
10:14I'm sorry.
10:15Not this time.
10:17But I can keep you safe.
10:20No!
10:21The episode ends bittersweetly.
10:23Luce finally makes it home,
10:24and King manages to save his favorite big sister figure.
10:28But at a personal cost,
10:29the Owl family is separated and unable to protect each other at a time when they need it the most.
10:38Hey, Mom.
10:39I'm back.
10:41Number 20.
10:43The Wedding Squanchers.
10:44Rick and Morty.
10:45If we come back to Earth,
10:47can my family have a normal life?
10:48Whether transforming the protagonist into a pickle or channel surfing,
10:52this Adult Swim cartoon tends to be more concerned with eliciting a laugh than a tear.
10:57An alcoholic mad scientist on the run from the Galactic Federation,
11:01Rick repeatedly and unapologetically drags the rest of the family,
11:05particularly Morty, into all kinds of troublesome situations.
11:09In the Season 2 finale,
11:11the Smiths are forced to go on the lam due to the scientist's notoriety.
11:15In an uncharacteristically selfless move,
11:17Rick surrenders to the Galactic Federation in exchange for the family's freedom.
11:21It would appear that there is a heart underneath all those burbs and insults.
11:26Number 19.
11:27Epilogue.
11:28Justice League Unlimited.
11:30Would you stay with me?
11:33I'm scared.
11:34It's a sign of a great series when the demise of a minor character,
11:38who only appears in three episodes,
11:40succeeds in coming across as tragic.
11:43Ace is a powerful psychic capable of warping reality.
11:46As a child,
11:47the Meta-Human was subjected to governmental experimentation
11:49and ended up temporarily working for the Joker.
11:53Aware death is just around the corner due to an aneurysm,
11:56Ace's final hours are spent with Batman,
11:59arguably the only person to ever treat the psychic as a human being,
12:02rather than a weapon.
12:04He sat with her until her time came.
12:09Number 18.
12:10Remembrance of Courage Past.
12:12Courage the Cowardly Dog.
12:14Talk about finishing a series on a gut punch.
12:21Courage the Cowardly Dog is constantly creepy,
12:24frequently darkly comical,
12:26and occasionally deeply moving.
12:28While some other segments are sad,
12:30nothing comes close to the flashback
12:32revealing how Courage meets Muriel.
12:34As a puppy,
12:35Courage basically witnesses the murder of his own parents
12:38at the hands of plausibly the worst cartoon veterinarian ever.
12:41Thankfully,
12:42the episode's conclusion is quite cathartic,
12:45but there's no forgetting the image of a crying baby Courage
12:48waving goodbye to a rocket carrying the dog's parents.
12:55Number 17.
12:56Weirdmageddon 3.
12:58Take Back the Falls.
12:59Gravity Falls.
13:00Oh, uh, hey there, kiddo.
13:04What's your name?
13:05Following two years filled with mystery,
13:07suspense,
13:08and wonderful characters,
13:09Gravity Falls' finale brought everything to the table.
13:13In order to defeat the dream demon named Bill Cipher,
13:16Stan willingly sacrifices the memories created with Mabel and Dipper over the summer.
13:21These recollections are recovered once Mabel shows Stan a scrapbook
13:24with the trio's many adventures,
13:25but the real emotional kicker occurs when the kids finally leave Gravity Falls.
13:30In an incredibly touching montage,
13:33the episode briefly shows the futures of many of the town's residents,
13:36who fans had grown to love over the preceding 40 episodes.
13:40Number 16.
13:42A Regular Epic Final Battle.
13:44Regular Show.
13:45Enough!
13:46This battle starts now!
13:50Lasting for eight seasons and 261 episodes,
13:54Regular Show's finale needed to be almost perfect to live up to all the hype.
13:58If nothing else,
13:59the cartoon cannot be criticized for playing it safe.
14:02Stuck in a stalemate against anti-Pops
14:05and with the whole universe on the line,
14:07Pops ultimately concludes the only way to save everyone
14:10is to plunge both of them into the sun.
14:12The minute you let me go,
14:13I'm gonna blast you into nothing!
14:17I know,
14:18so I'm not going to let go.
14:20The battle's aftermath is also a tearjerker,
14:22culminating in a 25-year time skip,
14:25depicting a much older Mordecai and Rigby
14:27coming back together for a park reunion.
14:30Number 15.
14:32Code of Hero.
14:33Beast Wars.
14:34Transformers.
14:35Destiny
14:36has one great test in store for us all.
14:40Has mine
14:41already come?
14:45And have I failed it?
14:46Is a villain truly a villain
14:48if he sacrifices himself for the sake of good?
14:51After starting as a follower of the evil Predacon leader Megatron,
14:55Dinobot rebels against him
14:57and ends up with the heroic Maximals.
14:59Optimus here.
15:01What is it, Dinobot?
15:03Code Red.
15:04Situation extreme.
15:06However,
15:07some still see him as evil,
15:08so Dinobot is determined to show them
15:11he's no longer the monster they think he is.
15:13I am a warrior.
15:16Let the battle be joined.
15:18He's given that opportunity
15:20when he finds himself facing a Predacon onslaught
15:23with no backup
15:24and fights to the death
15:25to save a group of proto-humans
15:27that will eventually give birth to the human race.
15:29One lonely turncoat
15:31battling on against impossible odds.
15:35I'm almost touched.
15:37Dinobot succeeds in thwarting their plans,
15:40but is mortally wounded in the process.
15:42Unable to help him,
15:44the Transformers leave their fallen comrade
15:46with one final salute.
15:48He lived a warrior
15:49and died a hero.
15:53Let his spark join the Matrix,
15:55the greatest of Cybertron.
15:57Number 14.
15:59Rose's Scabbard.
16:00Steven Universe.
16:02Sometimes,
16:03I wonder if she can see me through your eyes.
16:06Everyone grieves the loss of a loved one differently.
16:09Pearl,
16:09you have to tell me what's wrong.
16:13Sometimes,
16:14you even sound like her.
16:16In Pearl's case,
16:17she pushes away her friend Steven,
16:19the son of a woman she followed,
16:21respected,
16:22and loved deeply.
16:24After accompanying the Crystal Gems
16:26to the Strawberry Battlefield,
16:27Steven begins to uncover many new truths
16:29about his late mother
16:30and starts to see that Pearl
16:32never got the closure she needed
16:34on their relationship.
16:35Why'd she keep so many secrets?
16:37She had to,
16:38Steven.
16:39It's the mark of a great leader.
16:41This becomes even clearer
16:42when Pearl lashes out
16:44after discovering that Rose
16:45may have kept secrets from her.
16:47She probably just wanted to protect you
16:48like everyone else.
16:50Why do you know?
16:51You've never even met her!
16:53Denying the fact that anyone
16:55was closer to Rose than she was,
16:57Pearl runs away upset.
16:59But eventually,
16:59she realizes there's no better way
17:01to stay close to her late friend
17:02than by sharing her memories
17:04of Rose with Steven.
17:11Number 13.
17:12Game Over.
17:13Reboot.
17:14You're all I have left.
17:16Now you be careful out there.
17:18I don't know what I do.
17:19Don't get all mushy on me.
17:21You're a commander, remember?
17:22Unfortunately for the citizens
17:23of Mainframe,
17:25these games don't come
17:26with extra lives.
17:27We've got a problem.
17:28The user only has to beat
17:29five opponents to win the game.
17:31In the midst of a war
17:32against the virus Megabyte,
17:34the system's user sends
17:35a game down onto the city.
17:37How many more must suffer
17:39before Megabyte is stopped?
17:41In an attempt to save
17:42that section of the Mainframe,
17:44Enzo, along with his friend
17:45Andrea and loyal dog Frisket,
17:48jump into the Mortal Kombat
17:49style fighting game
17:50to defeat the user.
17:53You can't speak in these things.
17:55The game proves to be more
17:56than the young guardian
17:57and his friends can handle, however.
17:59And after Enzo is dealt
18:01a crippling blow
18:02and loses an eye
18:03during the final battle,
18:04the story moves to the perspective
18:06of those outside the game
18:07as they wait for it to end.
18:09As the purple GameCube
18:10begins to disappear,
18:12we hear, for the first time,
18:13the most frightening words
18:14ever uttered in the series.
18:16Game over.
18:19Here it goes.
18:20Get ready.
18:21The user wins.
18:23Number 12.
18:24Heart of Ice.
18:25Batman the Animated Series.
18:28Humanity.
18:30Compassion.
18:31Charity.
18:33Where were those pretty words
18:35when she needed to hear them?
18:37Some Batman villains
18:38just want to watch the world burn.
18:40Some want to see it freeze.
18:42But the reason why
18:43might surprise you.
18:45Take it easy, man.
18:45I got you.
18:47Leave him.
18:51He should have been more careful.
18:54The Dark Knight has a tendency
18:55to fight baddies
18:56that are victims of circumstance.
18:58Take Mary Dahl, for example,
19:00whose eternal youth
19:00was more curse than blessing.
19:02However, Heart of Ice
19:04sees the caped crusader
19:05face the diabolical Mr. Freeze.
19:08Freeze.
19:09That's Mr. Freeze to you.
19:12The Daytime Emmy Award-winning episode
19:14follows Batman
19:15as he chases this former
19:16GothCorp scientist,
19:18whom he discovers
19:18is solely seeking revenge
19:20on GothCorp CEO Ferris Boyle
19:22for turning him into a monster
19:23and essentially sentencing
19:25his wife to death.
19:26Tonight, I mean to pay back
19:28the man who ruined my life.
19:31Our lives.
19:33Ultimately, Batman does
19:34apprehend the villain
19:35and sends him off
19:36to Arkham Asylum,
19:37where Freeze can only
19:39mourn his loved one.
19:40I can only beg your forgiveness
19:43and pray you'll hear me somehow.
19:47Number 11.
19:48I Remember You
19:49Adventure Time
19:50Stop acting crazy!
19:53I just wanna be loved!
19:55Sometimes it takes a true friend
19:57to remind you of who you really are.
19:59Do you like me?
20:02Of course I do, you old jerk!
20:04In a desperate attempt
20:05to win the affection
20:06of a princess,
20:07as is his way,
20:08the Ice King seeks out
20:10Marceline the Vampire Queen
20:11to help him write a song.
20:13Wow, I wrote that?
20:14Hot stuff!
20:16This songwriting session
20:17gets all too real
20:18when Marceline tries to remind
20:20the wizard of his life
20:20before he found
20:21the magic crown
20:22that drove him nuts
20:23and erased his memories.
20:24This magic keeps me alive
20:26Saddened by the reality
20:34of the situation,
20:35Marceline opts to bond
20:37with her old friend
20:37the only way she can,
20:39and we're left watching
20:40a touching flashback scene
20:41where we see how the two met
20:43and became friends
20:44in the aftermath
20:45of the Mushroom War.
20:46Master Splinter
20:58was not only a wise sensei
21:00and mentor to the Turtles,
21:02he was also their loving father
21:03and protector.
21:05Giving guidance
21:05to your brothers and friends
21:07does not come from here.
21:09It comes from here.
21:11That's why it was
21:12absolutely gut-wrenching
21:13to see him done away with
21:14in such a brutal fashion
21:16in the TMNT episode
21:17Requiem.
21:18Party at the Mutanimals crib, yo!
21:20And you can come too, sensei!
21:23Hmm.
21:24Perhaps I do need
21:25to get out of the sewers
21:27for a time.
21:27When the team is facing off
21:29against the mighty Mutanimals,
21:31Splinter finds himself
21:32in a one-on-one rooftop battle
21:33with a souped-up Super Shredder.
21:38It first seems like
21:39he stands a chance,
21:41having thrown Shredder
21:42off the rooftop.
21:43Yes!
21:44You did it, sensei!
21:46But suddenly,
21:47Shredder springs back
21:48into action,
21:49fatally stabbing Splinter
21:50with his razor claws.
21:54If that wasn't enough,
21:56we're then shown
21:57some of the Turtles'
21:58cherished memories
21:59of their dear father.
22:02Papa!
22:06There's no amount
22:07of anchovies
22:08or pizza
22:09that can make
22:09this episode
22:10more bearable.
22:12Number 9.
22:13Free Churro
22:13Bojack Horseman
22:15My mom died
22:16and all I got
22:16was this free churro.
22:18Praised for its
22:19honest depiction
22:19of depression,
22:21substance use disorder,
22:22and various other
22:23challenging subjects,
22:24one of Bojack Horseman's
22:26saddest scenes
22:26pivots around,
22:28of all things,
22:29free churros
22:29and Ted Danson's
22:3190s sitcom,
22:32Becker.
22:32Season 4's
22:34Time Arrow
22:34suggested that
22:35there was more
22:36to the protagonist's
22:37cold mother
22:38than meets the eye,
22:39but Beatrice and Bojack
22:40remain estranged
22:41until the very end.
22:42Taking place
22:43during Beatrice's
22:44apparent funeral,
22:45Free Churro
22:46frames Bojack's
22:47troubled childhood
22:48through an ongoing
22:49eulogy.
22:50Like always,
22:51Bojack Horseman
22:51finds a way
22:52to throw in
22:52a few laugh-out-loud
22:53moments,
22:54but a somber tone
22:55is maintained
22:56throughout the entire episode.
22:57Because now I know
22:59I will never have
23:00a mother
23:00who looks at me
23:01from across a room
23:02and says,
23:03Bojack Horseman,
23:05I see you.
23:06Number 8.
23:07The Tales of Ba Sing Se
23:09Avatar The Last Airbender
23:11If only I could
23:13have helped you.
23:15Split into six vignettes,
23:16The Tales of Ba Sing Se
23:18is often quite lighthearted.
23:20Then you get
23:21to the tale of Iroh.
23:23This segment mainly
23:23consists of Zuko's
23:25uncle helping strangers
23:26while traveling
23:27through Ba Sing Se.
23:27All these sweet
23:29acts of kindness
23:30lead to Iroh
23:31leaving town
23:32to memorialize
23:33the birthday
23:33of his late son
23:34who died during
23:35a siege
23:36prior to the events
23:37of the cartoon.
23:38There will not be
23:39a single dry eye
23:40during Iroh's
23:41tearful rendition
23:42of Leaves from the Vine.
23:44Avatar The Last Airbender's
23:45vignette closes
23:46with a tribute
23:46to Iroh's voice actor,
23:48Mako Iwamatsu,
23:49who passed away
23:50a couple of months
23:50prior to the episode's airing.
23:53Number 7.
23:54Have You Seen This Snail?
23:56SpongeBob SquarePants
23:57Gary Runs Away
23:59might not seem
23:59like an especially
24:00creative premise,
24:01but SpongeBob SquarePants
24:03produced an absolute gem
24:04of an episode.
24:05Due to being distracted
24:06by a meaningless task,
24:08SpongeBob forgets
24:09to feed Gary,
24:10prompting the snail
24:11to pack and leave.
24:12Eventually,
24:13SpongeBob notices
24:14Gary is gone
24:14and becomes increasingly
24:16distraught at the thought
24:17of never seeing
24:18the snail again.
24:19Come on, Pat,
24:19just take these flyers
24:20and hand them out!
24:21Along with an awesome
24:22antagonist in Granny,
24:23Have You Seen This Snail?
24:24contains one of the cartoon's
24:26most extraordinary songs
24:27in the depressing
24:28Gary Come Home.
24:30If it was not
24:31for the happy ending,
24:32Have You Seen This Snail
24:33may have taken first place.
24:35If only I could hear you meow
24:37one last time!
24:39Meow!
24:40Yeah, like that!
24:42Number 6.
24:43Kenny Dies,
24:44South Park
24:45Kenny's sick?
24:47Well, how sick?
24:47During the opening
24:48five seasons,
24:49South Park barely allowed
24:51an episode to pass
24:51without killing Kenny.
24:53After rendering death
24:54completely meaningless,
24:55season five's
24:56Kenny Dies
24:57arrived to tear
24:58every fan's heart out.
25:00Hospitalized with
25:00a terminal illness,
25:01Kenny's health
25:02rapidly deteriorates,
25:04forcing the boys
25:04to come to terms
25:05with mortality.
25:06I know it's tough, okay?
25:08I know.
25:09But we have to be tough
25:09right now.
25:10Even though Cartman
25:11spends the majority
25:11of the episode
25:12attempting to find a cure,
25:14just as the title
25:14prophesied,
25:16Kenny eventually dies,
25:17and nothing about the moment
25:18is treated as a joke.
25:20I didn't get to see him.
25:22Girl, I didn't get
25:23to say goodbye.
25:24The boys grieve,
25:27Stan questions God,
25:29and Cartman duplicates
25:30a Shakey's pizza.
25:32Season 15's
25:33You're Getting Old
25:34Sobering Ending
25:35also merits
25:36a special mention.
25:37Number five,
25:38A Charlie Brown Christmas.
25:40A Charlie Brown Christmas.
25:41I think there must be
25:42something wrong with me, Linus.
25:44Christmas is coming,
25:45but I'm not happy.
25:46I don't feel the way
25:47I'm supposed to feel.
25:48What is Christmas all about?
25:50The always emo
25:51Charlie Brown's
25:52depressive state
25:53reaches an all-time low
25:55in this classic
25:55Christmas special,
25:56as he contemplates
25:58why the holiday spirit
25:59eludes him.
26:00What's the matter,
26:01Charlie Brown?
26:01Don't you think
26:02it's great?
26:03It's all wrong.
26:05Against his better judgment,
26:07Chuck takes Lucy's advice
26:08and directs the school's
26:10nativity play.
26:11But this just makes matters
26:12worse when he's met
26:13with jeers from his
26:14classmates after failing
26:15to produce an adequate
26:16Christmas tree.
26:17What kind of a tree is that?
26:19You are supposed
26:20to get a good tree.
26:22Can't you even tell
26:23a good tree from a poor tree?
26:24Although Linus's poignant
26:26speech cheers him up
26:27temporarily,
26:28Charlie Brown is in
26:29such a deep emotional hole,
26:31the only thing that can
26:32yank him out of it for good
26:33is the sight of his friends
26:34showing his little tree
26:35some TLC
26:36and belting out
26:37Christmas carols.
26:39It's all so simple.
26:40Merry Christmas,
26:42Charlie Brown!
26:44Number 4.
26:45Life of Brian,
26:46Family Guy.
26:47We're all gonna miss him,
26:49Peter.
26:49We're all gonna miss him
26:51very much.
26:52After one of their
26:53many trips to the past
26:54goes awry,
26:55Stewie and Brian agree
26:56to destroy their time machine.
26:58This time machine
26:59has almost killed us
27:00a hundred times, Brian.
27:01And yesterday was
27:02just too close a call.
27:03However, fate is cruel
27:05and Stewie immediately
27:06regrets this decision
27:07when Brian is struck
27:08by a car
27:09and critically injured,
27:10ultimately uttering
27:11his last words
27:12from the operating table.
27:14You've given me
27:16a wonderful life.
27:19I love you all.
27:21Reality sets in for Stewie
27:22when he realizes
27:23that repairing the time machine
27:24is impossible
27:25and so the grieving process
27:27must begin.
27:28Oh dear, Rupert.
27:30Without those capacitors,
27:31it'll be completely impossible
27:32to build a functioning
27:33time machine.
27:33I guess that means
27:35Brian has really gone
27:37for good.
27:38To help the family
27:39cope with their loss,
27:40Lois and Peter bring home
27:41a new dog named Vinny.
27:42But while he is able
27:44to emote with Stewie
27:45about his lost friend,
27:46Vinny can't replace
27:47the void left by Brian
27:48in the Griffin household.
27:50He was my best friend.
27:51You're not supposed
27:52to lose your best friend
27:53at my age.
27:55You're not supposed
27:55to lose him ever.
27:56Number 3.
27:57Mother Simpson.
27:59The Simpsons.
28:00Well, how about this?
28:01This thing says
28:02my mother's still alive.
28:03She died when I was a kid.
28:05When a show's on
28:06as long as The Simpsons,
28:07it's bound to turn
28:08to the bittersweet
28:09every now and then.
28:10Oh, Mom.
28:11I'm sorry I never
28:12come to see you.
28:13I'm just not a cemetery person.
28:15The moment when Lisa
28:16says goodbye
28:16to her substitute teacher
28:18always gets us sniffling.
28:19But it's the mystery
28:20you never knew
28:21you wanted solved
28:22surrounding the whereabouts
28:23of Homer's mother
28:24that makes our list.
28:25I can't believe you're here.
28:27Dad always told me
28:28you died while I was
28:29at the movie.
28:30This melancholic episode
28:31sees Homer joyfully
28:33reunited with his
28:33long-lost mother Mona
28:35after 27 years.
28:37Hey, everybody.
28:38I got a big surprise
28:39for you.
28:40Presenting my mother.
28:42The two make up
28:43for lost time,
28:44but it's soon revealed
28:45that it's Mona's
28:46troubled history
28:47with the law
28:47that's kept her away
28:48so long.
28:49And it forces her away
28:50again,
28:51leaving her son
28:52with a hole in his heart.
28:53Don't worry, Homer.
28:54You'll always be
28:55a part of me.
28:57Don't!
28:57At least this time,
28:59however,
29:00they're able to share
29:01a heartfelt goodbye.
29:02At least this time
29:04I'm awake
29:04for your goodbye.
29:05Oh, Homer.
29:07Number two.
29:08Mother's Day.
29:09Rugrats.
29:10I remember the first time
29:11I saw my mom.
29:13I think I was in a fish tank
29:14or something.
29:15Nothing prepares you
29:17for the heartbreaking reality
29:18of having to reveal
29:19this kind of truth
29:20to your child.
29:21It's all right, Chucky.
29:22Don't be scared.
29:24The babies celebrate
29:25their first Mother's Day
29:26experience by crafting presents
29:27for their beloved moms.
29:29We don't got a present
29:30for our mom, Phillip.
29:32Oh, I got a piece of candy
29:34I've been saving.
29:35But this only draws attention
29:36to the fact that Chucky
29:37doesn't have a mother.
29:39The episode sees him
29:40searching for a surrogate mom
29:41and thinking about
29:42what he's missing.
29:43I wish I could remember
29:44stuff like that.
29:46Don't you remember
29:46ever having a mom?
29:48Nope.
29:49It turns out that,
29:50due to Chucky's tender age,
29:52his father has withheld
29:53information about
29:54his son's mother,
29:55hoping he could shield him
29:56from the pain
29:57of missing her.
29:59Chucky,
30:00this is your mommy.
30:03With support
30:03from the other parents,
30:05Chaz decides to introduce
30:06Chucky to his mother
30:07via a box of her belongings.
30:09Go ahead.
30:10We dare you not to cry.
30:12My sweet little Chucky.
30:14Though I must leave you behind me,
30:16this poem will tell you
30:18where you always can find me.

30:52In Pizza Delivery Boy
30:54Philip J. Fry's case,
30:55one thing he abandoned
30:56was his lucky
30:57seven-leaf clover.
30:59But fortunately,
31:00as we learn
31:00in another tear-jerking episode,
31:02his nephew put that
31:03to good use.
31:11But Fry also left
31:12his dog Seymour
31:13back in the year 2000.
31:15His name was Seymour.
31:17He was once intimate
31:17with the leg
31:18of a wandering saxophonist.
31:20He had wet dog smell,
31:21even when dry.
31:22And he was not above
31:23chasing the number 29 bus.
31:25When he unearths
31:26a fossil of his long-lost pal
31:27in the 31st century,
31:29Fry decides to bring
31:30Seymour back as a clone.
31:31So will Seymour remember
31:33how to sing
31:33Walking on Sunshine?
31:35Amazingly, yes!
31:36However,
31:37he ultimately decides
31:38against the procedure,
31:39thinking that the pooch
31:40will have forgotten
31:41their friendship.
31:42I'll never forget him.
31:43But he forgot me
31:44a long, long time ago.
31:47All it takes
31:47is one heart-wrenching
31:49flashback for us to learn
31:50that he couldn't be
31:51further from the truth.
31:52What's he so worked up about?
31:54He's just upset
31:55because our boy's missing.
31:56Come on,
31:57the overgrown rat,
31:58lead us to Philip.
