** It also happened to him in one of the shorts. "Prank Pups" has Dylan laughing so hard at the result of his prank that he cries. Unfortunately he's wearing his space helmet as he's doing this, and the resulting flood of tears eventually causes him to have to hold his breath to keep from drowning while Dolly tries to get the helmet off.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{SpongeBob SquarePants}}'' tends to play with this trope a lot. Keep in mind that this is all ''[[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.
** 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.]]
** 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.

** In the first episode ''Super Special Sonic Smash & Search Squad'', [[BigBad Dr. Robotnik]] briefly does this after [[MascotWithAttitude Sonic]] pulls at his moustache.
** In the episode "Big Daddy" Boom-Boom the baby gorilla does this throughout the episode.
* ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries'': In "In the Heat of the Fright", when the fire cats terrorize and begin burning a village, Genie watches ''WesternAnimation/{{Bambi}}'' so he can cry at the iconic scene where Bambi's mother is shot and killed, using his tears to rain on the fire cats and make them dissipate as well as put out the village fire.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'':
** In "The Catfish", Gumball [[MenDontCry acts like he doesn't care]] when he finds out Grandpa Louie doesn't have any online friends. Darwin insists that Gumball let out his feelings... before Gumball unleashes ocular gushers that are [[ExaggeratedTrope exaggerated]] on him, ''repeatedly'', without losing his composure.
** In "The Friend", Gumball and Darwin demand the Chimera to explain why he's on the run from the police with a stern look on their faces. He later explains that he's been wandering around since his creator died and everyone is afraid of him. After that, Gumball and Darwin sadly cry streams of tears while their faces remain stern.
** In "The Money", After The Watersons realize that they're broke, they sadly cry streams of tears, but they realize that they can't afford to waste water and start drinking their tears.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'':
** In "Maddie and Marcy", Maddie gets fed up with her triplet sisters constantly annoying her, telling them to "grow up". As a result, the sisters resort to using Maddie's spellbook to create a growth potion in hopes of becoming older. However, the potion works too literally and they grow into giants. Due to the instability of the potion having been brewed incorrectly, the girls realize that they're growing too much and cry this way, which drenches the citizens of Wartwood.
** In the series finale, "The Hardest Thing", Sasha cries a tiny sprinkler of tears when she is saying goodbye to Captain Grime.
* In ''WesternAnimation/BenAndHollysLittleKingdom'', characters who get upset cry tears that gush out of their eyes like a sprinkler, with the exception of Princess Holly in "Holly's Magic Wand", where she cries normal tears instead.
* In "Get the Gimmies" on the Creator/PBSKids ''Literature/TheBerenstainBears'' series, young Papa Bear cried these to get his parents to get him a toy truck he wanted, though he ended up donating it to a boy in a needy family.
* Lots of people cry like this in ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'':
** Numbuh Three has broken down crying, complete with Ocular Gushers, more than a few times during the series, usually as a way of working on another character's sympathies.
** And in "Operation: C.L.U.E.S.", it's revealed that this is a trait she shares with her father, Kani Sanban.
** Lizzy sometimes indulges in this too, usually to guilt-trip Numbuh One into going out with her.
** Toiletnator opens the gushers in "Operation: F.L.U.S.H." after being denied by the other villains.
** In "Operation: P.O.O.L.", the MirrorUniverse counterpart of Father, the series' BigBad, Daddy, also does this on one occasion.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheCrumpets'' frequently has a character cry like this. Specific examples include Caprice at her self piteous moments and in "Going Viral" due to depression and her grandmother announcing Caprice's "death", Ms. [=McBrisk=] in "The Courting of Ms. [=McBrisk=]" and "Ice Lust" due to her apparent failures to maintain a relationship with a celebrity CardboardPal she thinks is an actual person, and Grownboy when he loses his pets in most of his episodes.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheCupheadShow'':
** In the episode "[[Recap/TheCupheadShowS1E2BabyBottle Baby Bottle]]", A baby bottle cries a massive gobs of tears. After he says "Mama".
** In the episode "[[Recap/TheCupheadShowS1E7RootPacked Root Packed]]", when Cuphead and Mugman get depressed that the Root Pack have ruined Elder Kettle's vegetable garden, Ollie Bulb overhears their conversation and gets depressed. The cup brothers then use the "vegetable garden" mention as their advantage to make Ollie cry OnionTears. Due to his tears and stench, all the partygoers start crying, including the bouncer. By the time they're all washed away in a pool of tears, even Cuphead and Mugman cry in Tears of Joy now that the vegetable garden is once again in bloom.
* A RunningGag on the PBS animated ''Literature/CuriousGeorge'' series involves George imagining Bill crying these due to being upset about some mischief that he caused.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/DennisTheMenace'' episode, "Big Baby", Dennis looks after a baby named Sylvester, who grows to an enormous size after accidentally drinking [=PeeBee's=] super growth formula, due to [=PeeBee=] keeping said formula in a baby bottle. When Dennis scolds Sylvester for playing with a real car like a toy, Sylvester cries, and Dennis gets an umbrella to avoid being rained on by Sylvester's tears.
* ''WesternAnimation/DudeThatsMyGhost'': Frequently a large part of Billy's diva tantrums, although whether it's a side effect of being a ghost (he tends to be more cartoony than the other characters) or he's always been able to do it has yet to be shown.
* ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'': Any time Ed cries turn out like this. In "Who's Minding the Ed?", for example, Ed bawls like this after he realizes Rolf took back his animals.
-->'''Ed:''' Come back little ones! '''I MISS MY FURRY FRIENDS, GUYS!!!!!!'''\\
'''Eddy:''' Aw, you're better off without 'em, blubberpuss!\\
'''Ed:''' Don't talk to me.
* ''WesternAnimation/EsmeAndRoy'' uses this trope in almost every episode whenever every little monster cries. And Esme shows the glitter jar to calm each little monster down.
** Fig cries these in "Stroller Derby" after throwing a tantrum about not wanting to go in her stroller because she's a big girl.
** Snug cries them in "The Inside Job" because of being upset about having go inside to get out of the cold, instead of being allowed to stay outside and play.
** Snugs also cries them in "The Case of the Missing Cuddles" because of missing his favorite stuffed toy, Sir Cuddles. Also, because he's inflated to a big size because of being upset, the gushers are correspondingly huge.
** Snugs is also shown crying them in the show's opening sequence after dropping an ice cream cone. Esme shows him the glitter jar to calm him down.
** Simon cries these in "Simon's Sleepover" when he can't sleep because he misses his family.
** In "Top Dog," Simon cries them because he's upset about not being able to teach his dog a trick. Somehow, they actually pool at the bottom of his glasses before simply disappearing.
* ''WesternAnimation/FanboyAndChumChum'': Every time someone cries, the tears stream from their eyes like a sprinkler. They shoot out bigger and twice as many tears than a normal human ever could, and there's even a sprinkler sound effect accompanying the tears.
* ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'':
** Eduardo, the [[TheMcCoy highly emotional]] GentleGiant does this often.
** In "Emancipation Proclamation", when Foster's becomes overcrowded with imaginary friends, Li'l Lincoln gets the idea to market them. One imaginary friend cries this way when he sees that all the other imaginary friends all have something unique and special about them, making him feel unimportant. Wilt suggests that he use his tears to wash cars, and that's exactly what the imaginary friend is seen doing in a later scene.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheGhostAndMollyMcGee'':
** In one episode, Molly cries a massive gobs of tears after her kitten got away.
** In "Out of House and Home", Scratch cries these after he ruined his favorite food.
* Laney Penn of ''WesternAnimation/{{Grojband}}'' momentarily does this in the episode "One-Plant Band" when Corey calls her out on always being right while he's under the influence of a parody of [[Theatre/LittleShopOfHorrors Audrey II]].
* Justified in a way in ''WesternAnimation/IAmWeasel''. Ocular gushers come from a disease that keeps the person constantly crying like this. Weasel cures the disease, but this has the side effect of drying up all the rivers and oceans, so he purposefully gives himself the disease to keep a constant supply of water up.
* If a character cries on ''WesternAnimation/{{Jellystone}}'', they'll cry fountains.
* Almost any time on ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'' when somebody cries, they'll have OcularGushers.
* OlderThanTelevision: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aLY99NIsAQ This]] ''Ko-Ko Song Car-Tune'', entitled "Darling Nellie Gray," has the dog character crying in this manner during the lyric "And I'm weeping all the day."
* A RunningGag with Penny Ling in the 2012 ''[[WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012 Littlest Pet Shop]]'', the first and most noticeable time being in "Penny For Your Laughs" when she has a breakdown when Pepper makes the mistake of targeting her for her insensitive comedy routine. It's [[ExaggeratedTrope taken to the extreme]] and her tears ''literally'' flood the day camp area and almost drown Pepper. It's managed to carry over into the toys, as in the franchise's Spring 2014 line there's one set that comes with a figure of her with molded, transparent streams of tears.
* In "Llama Llama Shopping Drama" on ''Literature/LlamaLlama'', after Llama Llama has his tantrum in the middle of the store, in front of all the shoppers, a hedgehog kid cries these and an adult male deer standing next to him immediately does so as well.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'':
** In [[ChristmasEpisode "11 Louds a Leapin'"]], Lisa cries this way after Lincoln tells the girls about how [[GrumpyOldMan Mr. Grouse]] is unable to see his family for Christmas.
** Lily does this, too[[note]]You know, because she is a baby[[/note]], particularly on the title screen of "The Crying Dame" and in "Baby Steps" when Clyde is unable to help her (or the other little sisters).
** In ''WesternAnimation/TheCasagrandes'' spin-off, Frida does this [[ProneToTears all the time]], most notably in "Grandparent Trap" and "Achy Breaky Art." In both cases, [[CryingARiver her tears flood the apartment]].
%%* Happens at the end of the [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Merrie Melodies]] cartoon "The Coo-Coo Nut Grove" (1936, Freleng).
* WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse cartoons:
** In ''The Nifty Ninties'', Minnie Mouse cries massive gobs of tears while watching an emotional slideshow.
** Minnie also did this in ''Mickey's Surprise Party'' after she failed to bake cookies for Mickey.
* ''WesternAnimation/MiddlemostPost'': Parker's tears are shown to flood the entire Post. It's implied that it's because he's a cloud, and thus he "rains" instead of crying.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheMightyB'': Bessie does this in "Portrait of a Happy". In fact, she ended up [[CryingARiver flooding the room and even the hallway with her tears]].
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot'': Jenny is shown to cry this way in the episode "Raggedy Android".
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** Illustrated above: in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E2ElementsOfHarmony Friendship is Magic, part 2]]", Pinkie Pie is so touched by the reunion of Princess Celestia and her newly reformed sister, her tears form twin waterfalls... until she realizes this is the [[LifeOfTheParty perfect opportunity for a party]], that is. [[MoodWhiplash She's completely back to her old self before the last of her tears hit the ground.]]

** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E12BabyCakes Baby Cakes]]", Pinkie agreed to babysit her bosses' twin babies. After [[BadlyBatteredBabysitter spending an entire episode trying to be responsible]], it becomes too much for her and she breaks down crying.

** And again in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E23PonyvilleConfidential Ponyville Confidential]]", when the column claims that "Pinkie Pie is an Out-of-Control Party Animal." She breaks down and screams, "It's true! I do have a problem!"

** Sweetie Belle does this in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E4OneBadApple One Bad Apple]]" when Babs Seed, Diamond Tiara, and Silver Spoon take over the Cutie Mark Crusader clubhouse. Apple Bloom even breaks out an umbrella to shield herself from Sweetie Belle's tears.
** Poor Pinkie Pie gets another one in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagics3E5MagicDuel Magic Duel]]" after Trixie removes her mouth and she is unable to eat cupcakes.
** It appears to run in Sweetie Belle's family; Rarity also does this in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E2TheCutieMapPart2 The Cutie Map]]" when she realizes that her tastes in curtains have changed.
** "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E26ToWhereAndBackAgainPart2 To Where and Back Again – Part 2]]": Several of the changelings disguised as Fluttershy produce cascading streams of tears to better guilt-trip Discord.

* ''WesternAnimation/PeppaPig'':
** These are the norm for the toddler kids and the babies when they're really upset or scared about something. Their tears would gush out of their eyes like a sprinkler. If there was a prize based on this trope, George would win it, where his seem to erupt from his eyes in the manner of a garden hose!
** Peppa is a rare non-infant example, where she cries in a similar fashion to them in "The Golden Boots" after her golden boots are stolen by Mrs. Duck.
* In the ''ComicStrip/{{Popeye}}'' cartoon "Swee' Pea Through the Looking Glass," Swee' Pea bawls torrents of tears after growing too big to leave the surreal room he's in.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'':
** The episode "The City Of Frownsville" has Lou Gubrious, a very miserable scientist who cries fountains of tears channeling his sadness into a ray set upon Townsville that [[EverybodyCries makes everyone--even the Powerpuff Girls--cry tears]] to the point where it threatens the city. Upon being the happiest person in Townsville at that point, he changes his name to Hal Larious, only to succumb to tears again after Bubbles (in a vain attempt to make a crying pigeon laugh) drops her banana and Hal slips on it, causing everyone to laugh at him.
** Bubbles cries these pretty [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mNEfDqmqLu8 often.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/ProjectGeeker'': more of a sprinkler effect than a firehose, but Geeker does this in "Smell of the Wild" after even the animals reject him.
* Occasionally seen in ''Animation/{{Pucca}}'' and, in the case of Pucca herself, her waterfall tears possess waterfall ''force'' which sends anybody she looks at while crying flying away from her. There is actually a moment where Garu walks up to a waterfall looking for Pucca, looks up, and it turns out the waterfall is really ''Pucca's tears''.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow''. Stimpy, being the "eediot", that he is, cries so hard his EYES POP OUT OF HIS SKULL![[note]]Admittedly, though, this doesn't always happen.[[/note]] Subverted in [[Recap/RenandStimpy2x07SonofStimpy "Son of Stimpy"]] where he cries like this after Ren presses his, er...[[TraumaButton "trauma" button]][[note]]If one can really call it that. After all, [[DontExplainTheJoke you have to have a brain before you can have any kind of trauma.]] Although, in this case, Stimpy has one, but it's a (literally) tiny brain...[[/note]] after trying to cheer him up with his "nice and stinky" litter box. However, there are no tears--ocular gushers, or otherwise--at all, [[NegativeContinuity despite previous episodes showing Stimpy to do this when he (violently) cries]].[[note]]This was intentional, as Creator/JohnKricfalusi was playing this and other tropes [[PlayedForDrama for drama]] (except not; it's a long story), in order to prove a point about "fake pathos". The article has all the "stinky" details, and yes, the episode is literally that idiotic, even by the show's standards...[[/note]]
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'' has Bev Bighead doing this in her bedroom all night after she discovers that her "dog" (who is really a hypnotized Rocko taken by Heffer and Filburt) has come up missing, flooding the house to a point where her husband Ed had to use a rowboat just to get to her by the next morning.
* Happens to Bimbo in the ''WesternAnimation/ScreenSongs'' cartoon "My Gal Sal", complete with his eyes turning into faucets.
* Guy Hamdon of ''WesternAnimation/SheZow'' when his sister Kelly takes him to see a chick flick. It's so intense that he briefly floods the theatre.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{SpongeBob SquarePants}}'' tends to play with this trope a lot. Keep in mind that this is all ''[[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.
** 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.]]
** 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.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Steven Universe}}'' is another show that draws a lot of [[FusionDance inspiration from anime,]] including [[Creator/StudioGhibli Ghibli style]] tears of ludicrous size.
** Yellow Pearl cries these when she's hit by Blue Diamond's EmotionBomb during "The Trial"; unlike the others, who just shed a SingleTear instead of going full waterworks.
** In "Back to the Kindergarten", the [[MessOfWoe puddles on the floor of Steven's bathroom]] are implied to be Peridot's tears.
* In "Baby Takes the Cake" from the 2003 version of ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake'', all of the babies in Apple Dumplin's ImagineSpot in which she's an adult wail and cry these when she gets angry and tells them that they can't help her. She then starts crying these herself and, seeing this, they stop and calm down.
* ''WesternAnimation/SummerMemories'': In the first episode, after Jason gets yelled at for not being able to find Tall Girl's journal, he's so overwhelmed that he runs away. He's then seen sitting on a cliff, crying so much that his tears are running down his faces and across his body in little rivers.
* Surprisingly, this happened to ''Batman'' in an episode of ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Superfriends}} The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians]]'' when the Scarecrow forces him to have a flashback of his parents' death.
* Being {{Animesque}}, ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'' is rather prone to this. The biggest example occurs [[http://www.woohp.org/gallery/displayimage.php?album=142&pos=115 here]] in the second-to-last episode of Season 5.
* ''WesternAnimation/TucaAndBertie'': Used frequently, varying between waterfalls of tears to giant, golfball-sized gobs of tears. "The Jelly Lakes" includes a gag where Tuca and Bertie have a post-make-up cry, which floods their entire car with tears. In "[[Recap/TucaAndBertieS1E02ThePromotion The Promotion]]", when Bertie is upset that she may have blown her promotion, Tuca whips out an umbrella.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Unikitty}}'' has these as well, thanks to the star. In the episode "Sparkle Matter Matters", Unikitty, Puppycorn, and Dr. Fox have escaped from Richard, whose extreme joy thanks to the happy serum that went awry and now threatens to destroy their castle. When Unikitty thinks using some negative sparkle matter would reverse the effects, Dr. Fox tries to get this by having her watch a video of a sad kid who was now eating alone because [[OnePersonBirthdayParty nobody came to his birthday party]]. When the sad kid is shown to be Puppycorn, Unikitty goes into a literal HeroicBSOD with a BigNo and she starts crying waves with tons of negative sparkle matter coming from her; she only stops after Puppycorn trips over a negative sparkle matter bit and jabs her in one eye, causing her to go into a [[BurningWithAnger shut-up-and-die rage]].
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Wakfu}}'':
** Ruel's Gobbowl friend, Tolot, springs a leak in Season 1 Episode 10.
** Lady Glagla also sports a pair of gushers in Season 2 Episode 14.
* Happens occasionally in ''WesternAnimation/ZigAndSharko'' mostly to Marina after something has upset her, also sometimes to Zig when his plans fail one too many times.

* ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries'': In "In the Heat of the Fright", when the fire cats terrorize and begin burning a village, Genie watches ''WesternAnimation/{{Bambi}}'' so he can cry at the iconic scene where Bambi's mother is shot and killed, using his tears to rain on the fire cats and make them dissipate as well as put out the village fire.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'':
** In "The Catfish", Gumball [[MenDontCry acts like he doesn't care]] when he finds out Grandpa Louie doesn't have any online friends. Darwin insists that Gumball let out his feelings... before Gumball unleashes ocular gushers that are [[ExaggeratedTrope exaggerated]] on him, ''repeatedly'', without losing his composure.
** In "The Friend", Gumball and Darwin demand the Chimera to explain why he's on the run from the police with a stern look on their faces. He later explains that he's been wandering around since his creator died and everyone is afraid of him. After that, Gumball and Darwin sadly cry streams of tears while their faces remain stern.
** In "The Money", After The Watersons realize that they're broke, they sadly cry streams of tears, but they realize that they can't afford to waste water and start drinking their tears.

As a result, the sisters resort to using Maddie's spellbook to create a growth potion in hopes of becoming older. However, the potion works too literally and they grow into giants. Due to the instability of the potion having been brewed incorrectly, the girls realize that they're growing too much and cry this way, which drenches the citizens of Wartwood.
** In the series finale, "The Hardest Thing", Sasha cries a tiny sprinkler of tears when she is saying goodbye to Captain Grime.

* In "Get the Gimmies" on the Creator/PBSKids ''Literature/TheBerenstainBears'' series, young Papa Bear cried these to get his parents to get him a toy truck he wanted, though he ended up donating it to a boy in a needy family.
* Lots of people cry like this in ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'':
** Numbuh Three has broken down crying, complete with Ocular Gushers, more than a few times during the series, usually as a way of working on another character's sympathies.
** And in "Operation: C.L.U.E.S.", it's revealed that this is a trait she shares with her father, Kani Sanban.
** Lizzy sometimes indulges in this too, usually to guilt-trip Numbuh One into going out with her.
** Toiletnator opens the gushers in "Operation: F.L.U.S.H." after being denied by the other villains.
** In "Operation: P.O.O.L.", the MirrorUniverse counterpart of Father, the series' BigBad, Daddy, also does this on one occasion.

Specific examples include Caprice at her self piteous moments and in "Going Viral" due to depression and her grandmother announcing Caprice's "death", Ms. [=McBrisk=] in "The Courting of Ms. [=McBrisk=]" and "Ice Lust" due to her apparent failures to maintain a relationship with a celebrity CardboardPal she thinks is an actual person, and Grownboy when he loses his pets in most of his episodes.

The cup brothers then use the "vegetable garden" mention as their advantage to make Ollie cry OnionTears. Due to his tears and stench, all the partygoers start crying, including the bouncer. By the time they're all washed away in a pool of tears, even Cuphead and Mugman cry in Tears of Joy now that the vegetable garden is once again in bloom.
* A RunningGag on the PBS animated ''Literature/CuriousGeorge'' series involves George imagining Bill crying these due to being upset about some mischief that he caused.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/DennisTheMenace'' episode, "Big Baby", Dennis looks after a baby named Sylvester, who grows to an enormous size after accidentally drinking [=PeeBee's=] super growth formula, due to [=PeeBee=] keeping said formula in a baby bottle. When Dennis scolds Sylvester for playing with a real car like a toy, Sylvester cries, and Dennis gets an umbrella to avoid being rained on by Sylvester's tears.
* ''WesternAnimation/DudeThatsMyGhost'': Frequently a large part of Billy's diva tantrums, although whether it's a side effect of being a ghost (he tends to be more cartoony than the other characters) or he's always been able to do it has yet to be shown.
* ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'': Any time Ed cries turn out like this. In "Who's Minding the Ed?", for example, Ed bawls like this after he realizes Rolf took back his animals.
-->'''Ed:''' Come back little ones! '''I MISS MY FURRY FRIENDS, GUYS!!!!!!'''\\
'''Eddy:''' Aw, you're better off without 'em, blubberpuss!\\
'''Ed:''' Don't talk to me.
* ''WesternAnimation/EsmeAndRoy'' uses this trope in almost every episode whenever every little monster cries. And Esme shows the glitter jar to calm each little monster down.
** Fig cries these in "Stroller Derby" after throwing a tantrum about not wanting to go in her stroller because she's a big girl.
** Snug cries them in "The Inside Job" because of being upset about having go inside to get out of the cold, instead of being allowed to stay outside and play.
** Snugs also cries them in "The Case of the Missing Cuddles" because of missing his favorite stuffed toy, Sir Cuddles. Also, because he's inflated to a big size because of being upset, the gushers are correspondingly huge.
** Snugs is also shown crying them in the show's opening sequence after dropping an ice cream cone. Esme shows him the glitter jar to calm him down.
** Simon cries these in "Simon's Sleepover" when he can't sleep because he misses his family.

* ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'':
** Eduardo, the [[TheMcCoy highly emotional]] GentleGiant does this often.
** In "Emancipation Proclamation", when Foster's becomes overcrowded with imaginary friends, Li'l Lincoln gets the idea to market them.

* Laney Penn of ''WesternAnimation/{{Grojband}}'' momentarily does this in the episode "One-Plant Band" when Corey calls her out on always being right while he's under the influence of a parody of [[Theatre/LittleShopOfHorrors Audrey II]].
* Justified in a way in ''WesternAnimation/IAmWeasel''. Ocular gushers come from a disease that keeps the person constantly crying like this. Weasel cures the disease, but this has the side effect of drying up all the rivers and oceans, so he purposefully gives himself the disease to keep a constant supply of water up.
* If a character cries on ''WesternAnimation/{{Jellystone}}'', they'll cry fountains.
* Almost any time on ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'' when somebody cries, they'll have OcularGushers.
* OlderThanTelevision: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aLY99NIsAQ This]] ''Ko-Ko Song Car-Tune'', entitled "Darling Nellie Gray," has the dog character crying in this manner during the lyric "And I'm weeping all the day."
* A RunningGag with Penny Ling in the 2012 ''[[WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012 Littlest Pet Shop]]'', the first and most noticeable time being in "Penny For Your Laughs" when she has a breakdown when Pepper makes the mistake of targeting her for her insensitive comedy routine. It's [[ExaggeratedTrope taken to the extreme]] and her tears ''literally'' flood the day camp area and almost drown Pepper. It's managed to carry over into the toys, as in the franchise's Spring 2014 line there's one set that comes with a figure of her with molded, transparent streams of tears.
* In "Llama Llama Shopping Drama" on ''Literature/LlamaLlama'', after Llama Llama has his tantrum in the middle of the store, in front of all the shoppers, a hedgehog kid cries these and an adult male deer standing next to him immediately does so as well.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'':
** In [[ChristmasEpisode "11 Louds a Leapin'"]], Lisa cries this way after Lincoln tells the girls about how [[GrumpyOldMan Mr. Grouse]] is unable to see his family for Christmas.
** Lily does this, too[[note]]You know, because she is a baby[[/note]], particularly on the title screen of "The Crying Dame" and in "Baby Steps" when Clyde is unable to help her (or the other little sisters).
** In ''WesternAnimation/TheCasagrandes'' spin-off, Frida does this [[ProneToTears all the time]], most notably in "Grandparent Trap" and "Achy Breaky Art." In both cases, [[CryingARiver her tears flood the apartment]].
%%* Happens at the end of the [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Merrie Melodies]] cartoon "The Coo-Coo Nut Grove" (1936, Freleng).

** Minnie also did this in ''Mickey's Surprise Party'' after she failed to bake cookies for Mickey.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot'': Jenny is shown to cry this way in the episode "Raggedy Android".

Stimpy, being the "eediot", that he is, cries so hard his EYES POP OUT OF HIS SKULL![[note]]Admittedly, though, this doesn't always happen.[[/note]] Subverted in [[Recap/RenandStimpy2x07SonofStimpy "Son of Stimpy"]] where he cries like this after Ren presses his, er...[[TraumaButton "trauma" button]][[note]]If one can really call it that. After all, [[DontExplainTheJoke you have to have a brain before you can have any kind of trauma.]] Although, in this case, Stimpy has one, but it's a (literally) tiny brain...[[/note]] after trying to cheer him up with his "nice and stinky" litter box. However, there are no tears--ocular gushers, or otherwise--at all, [[NegativeContinuity despite previous episodes showing Stimpy to do this when he (violently) cries]].[[note]]This was intentional, as Creator/JohnKricfalusi was playing this and other tropes [[PlayedForDrama for drama]] (except not; it's a long story), in order to prove a point about "fake pathos". The article has all the "stinky" details, and yes, the episode is literally that idiotic, even by the show's standards...[[/note]]
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'' has Bev Bighead doing this in her bedroom all night after she discovers that her "dog" (who is really a hypnotized Rocko taken by Heffer and Filburt) has come up missing, flooding the house to a point where her husband Ed had to use a rowboat just to get to her by the next morning.
* Happens to Bimbo in the ''WesternAnimation/ScreenSongs'' cartoon "My Gal Sal", complete with his eyes turning into faucets.
* Guy Hamdon of ''WesternAnimation/SheZow'' when his sister Kelly takes him to see a chick flick. It's so intense that he briefly floods the theatre.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{SpongeBob SquarePants}}'' tends to play with this trope a lot. Keep in mind that this is all ''[[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.
** 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.]]
** 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.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Steven Universe}}'' is another show that draws a lot of [[FusionDance inspiration from anime,]] including [[Creator/StudioGhibli Ghibli style]] tears of ludicrous size.
** Yellow Pearl cries these when she's hit by Blue Diamond's EmotionBomb during "The Trial"; unlike the others, who just shed a SingleTear instead of going full waterworks.
** In "Back to the Kindergarten", the [[MessOfWoe puddles on the floor of Steven's bathroom]] are implied to be Peridot's tears.
* In "Baby Takes the Cake" from the 2003 version of ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake'', all of the babies in Apple Dumplin's ImagineSpot in which she's an adult wail and cry these when she gets angry and tells them that they can't help her. She then starts crying these herself and, seeing this, they stop and calm down.
* ''WesternAnimation/SummerMemories'': In the first episode, after Jason gets yelled at for not being able to find Tall Girl's journal, he's so overwhelmed that he runs away. He's then seen sitting on a cliff, crying so much that his tears are running down his faces and across his body in little rivers.
* Surprisingly, this happened to ''Batman'' in an episode of ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Superfriends}} The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians]]'' when the Scarecrow forces him to have a flashback of his parents' death.
* Being {{Animesque}}, ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'' is rather prone to this. The biggest example occurs [[http://www.woohp.org/gallery/displayimage.php?album=142&pos=115 here]] in the second-to-last episode of Season 5.
* ''WesternAnimation/TucaAndBertie'': Used frequently, varying between waterfalls of tears to giant, golfball-sized gobs of tears. "The Jelly Lakes" includes a gag where Tuca and Bertie have a post-make-up cry, which floods their entire car with tears. In "[[Recap/TucaAndBertieS1E02ThePromotion The Promotion]]", when Bertie is upset that she may have blown her promotion, Tuca whips out an umbrella.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Unikitty}}'' has these as well, thanks to the star. In the episode "Sparkle Matter Matters", Unikitty, Puppycorn, and Dr. Fox have escaped from Richard, whose extreme joy thanks to the happy serum that went awry and now threatens to destroy their castle. When Unikitty thinks using some negative sparkle matter would reverse the effects, Dr. Fox tries to get this by having her watch a video of a sad kid who was now eating alone because [[OnePersonBirthdayParty nobody came to his birthday party]]. When the sad kid is shown to be Puppycorn, Unikitty goes into a literal HeroicBSOD with a BigNo and she starts crying waves with tons of negative sparkle matter coming from her; she only stops after Puppycorn trips over a negative sparkle matter bit and jabs her in one eye, causing her to go into a [[BurningWithAnger shut-up-and-die rage]].
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Wakfu}}'':
** Ruel's Gobbowl friend, Tolot, springs a leak in Season 1 Episode 10.
** Lady Glagla also sports a pair of gushers in Season 2 Episode 14.
* Happens occasionally in ''WesternAnimation/ZigAndSharko'' mostly to Marina after something has upset her, also sometimes to Zig when his plans fail one too many times.
