History OcularGushers / SpongeBobSquarePants

* [[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS11E18WhaleWatchingKrustyKleaners Whale Watching]]: Pearl's are so strong they're able to cut through solid objects in their path like a waterjet cutter. Pearl uses it to cut a hole in the wall to escape her room.

** On one occasion, [=SpongeBob=] cried so hard that the tears flooded his house, and when Squidward opened the front door, [[OpeningTheFloodGates the resulting stream of water knocked him over.]]
** Spongebob had inconveniently cried over 43 times before 2pm.

If there is a series that could potentially [[UpToEleven hold the world record for most crying ever]], it had to be this series. But do keep in mind that all this is done ''[[WaterIsAir underwater]]''.

** In "[[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS1E14SB129KarateChoppers Karate Choppers]]", [=SpongeBob=] sprays Ocular Gushers into a mug, then drinks the contents before spraying again.
** A few instances of [=SpongeBob=]'s Ocular Gushers seemed to have the force of a firehose on full blast. For instance, in "[[Recap/SpongebobSquarepantsS7E10ADayWithoutTearsSummerJob A Day Without Tears]]", Squidward bets [=SpongeBob=] that he can't go a whole day without crying, so he spends the whole episode holding back tears until midnight, then blasts them out of his eyes, knocking Squidward against the wall and flooding Bikini Bottom.

** In "[[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS2E6GrandmasKissesSquidville Grandma's Kisses]]", When [=SpongeBob=]'s grandma ignored and didn't coddle him because he wanted to be treated as an adult, he eventually snapped and cried. [=SpongeBob=] squirted tears into his own mouth, then sprayed teardrops like a garden sprinkler, complete with sound effects. Eventually his tears flooded Grandma's house. She pulled a plug on her house's floor to drain the tears away.
** [[WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie The movie]] includes a scene in which [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick are spraying streams of water directly into each others' mouths, much to the disgust of Princess Mindy.
** In "[[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS3E13NewStudentStarfishClams Clams]]", Mr. Krabs loses his millionth dollar to a giant clam, which makes him cry so much in one scene he literally forms faucets from his eyes.
** Pearl also tends to play the waterfall version of this trope on most occasions. Sometimes, her tears would [[CryingARiver flood the building she's in]]. For instance, in "[[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS1E12TheChaperoneEmployeeOfTheMonth The Chaperone]]", Pearl approaches her father crying waterfall tears that flood the Krusty Krab after her prom boyfriend dumped her.
** Occurs with Sandy when she cries: her helmet gets all filled up and she pulls the handle to flush her tears.
** [=SpongeBob=] once made Squidward a sweater out of his own tears. ItMakesSenseInContext (not a whole lot of sense, but some).
** Mrs. Puff and Karen, despite the latter being a ''computer'', both cried fountains of tears simultaneously in "[[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS11E25BubbletownGirlsNightOut Girls' Night Out]]" after venting their frustrations with [=SpongeBob=] and Plankton, respectively. Karen even shows an image of a waterfall on her monitor when she starts crying, and one of a valve being turned when she stops. Mrs. Puff, on the other hand, ends up with [[YourMakeupIsRunning her mascara running down her face]].
** In "[[Recap/SpongebobSquarepantsS1E9NaturePantsOppositeDay Opposite Day]]", after [=SpongeBob=] tells Patrick he never wants to see him again ([[OppositeDay he's joking]], but Patrick doesn't get it at first), he starts crying and his tears flow out of his eyes like waterfalls.
** In "[[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS8E9MooncationMrKrabsTakesAVacation Mr. Krabs Takes a Vacation]]", Mr. Krabs cries heavily when he sees money being shredded at the Bikini Bottom Mint. First his eyes squirt tears upward, then his nose and arms are replaced with tear spouts, and he floods the building. [=SpongeBob=] has to turn a valve on Krabs' pants to stop his crying. He does it again after Pearl takes his custom dollar bills, with [=SpongeBob=] putting on a raincoat, life preserver, and umbrella hat in preparation.
** A [[AllCGICartoon CGI-example]] occurs in [[WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOnTheRun the third movie]] anytime when someone cries.
*** When [=SpongeBob=] realizes that his pet snail Gary has been snailnapped by [[BigBad King Poseidon]], he starts crying waterfalls, and it caused his waterfalls to fly up and then it goes down.
*** Near the end, After [=SpongeBob=] denies [[BigBad King Poseidon]] for snailnapping Gary, King Poseidon starts crying massive gobs of tears, causing the visitors of Atlantic City to use their umbrellas to shield themselves from his tears.
