13 Of The Most Heartbreaking Moments In Tv History, According To Sobbing Internet Users.

Just coming out and asking the Internet something is a great way to mine humanity's brain, like what foreigners think of America, the worst things that have happened to people during sex, the scariest 2-sentence stories people can write, and what people do in private—but now we shall take a tear-filled trip down memory lane, as people have shared the most heartbreaking memories they have from TV. It is the Internet, so the responses were mostly from the Eighties onwards. Many were finale episodes, but interestingly, most were comedies. Warning: many feels ahead. There were many moments on this list, but one was the breakaway winner. As it happens, it was a Thanksgiving:

1. Sesame Street, Thanksgiving, 1983. Big Bird realizes that Mr. Hooper is never coming back.

2. The real, sad reason Will was staying with his auntie and his uncle in Bel-Air. (The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, "Papa's Got A Brand New Excuse," 1994)

3. Oh god, it wasn't a chicken. It was PTSD. (MAS*H, "Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen," 1983)

4. Buffy The Vampire Slayer loses her mom to un-slayable cancer. ("The Body," 2001)

5. Futurama, but at least it's not Fry's dog. ("The Luck of the Fryish," 2001.)

6. Also, Fry's dog. Seriously, you've been warned. ("Jurassic Bark," 2002.)

7. When the gruff Dr. Cox loses his grip after losing his close friend, portrayed by Brendan Fraser. (Scrubs, "My Finale" 2009.)

8. It goes without saying that liberating a concentration camp is more depressing than Big Bird, but you probably weren't a kid when you watched it. (Band of Brothers, "Why We Fight," 2001.)

9. "The Inner Light," most crushing episode of Star Trek: TNG not involving Wesley (note: two videos here).

10. Vincent Van Gogh, who committed suicide at 37, destitute and ignored by critics and peers, finally gets the praise he deserved. (Dr. Who, "Vincent and the Doctor," 2010.)

11. When the Sinclair family and everyone on Earth dies due to the stupidity of dinokind. (Dinosaurs, "Changing Nature," 1994.)

[Editor's Note: None of the commentators gave a good summary, so, TL;DR Earl Sinclair was put in charge of clearing the wax fruit forests by the WeSaySo corporation, and in the process, killed off all but one of a very important beetle species. All plant life died. Dinokind then put nukes in volcanoes on the theory that nukes make clouds and clouds make rain.]
