** While she obviously threw away any sympathy she had, One cannot help but still feel somewhat sad for Diane Simmons. She never wanted to kill anybody, she was victim to a cutthroat industry that valued age and appearance over experience. Granted she went way too far to get back at Tom Tucker for getting her fired by murdering many of the guests who most of them didn't even do anything really wrong to her, it still doesn't change the fact her own entire career was about to be taken away from her all because she just barely started to get older, [[note]] and not even that old at all, she had only just turned 40.[[/note]] not to mention the whole murder spree of hers really was still Tom's fault as well, as she wouldn't even have murdered anyone in the first place had Tom never tried to replace her with a younger reporter. It just goes to show how truly unfair the world can be, and how it can leave one for dead with nothing.

* In "Baking Sad", after having an awful day as usual (Thinking a cool kid said hi to her at school only for it to turn out to be a dream she immediately wakes up from, finding both her pet goldfish and horse dead, mistakenly getting thrown into a garbage truck while eating already half-eaten subs from a dumpster at the back of a Quizno's to cheer herself up, losing her bra at the process of being dumped into garbage.) Meg decides to end the worst day of her life by baking cookies from scratch and eating them all until she throws up, when she then receives a letter from the University of Rhode Island, thinking she got in and believing things are finally going her way, she opens it with her head up high in hope, only for it to downright say she didn't get in. Meg then just completely breaks down in despair, with her tears going into the cookie dough, having lost all hope of finding any joy. It's just absolutely breaking to watch and hear her just finally break down crying after having such a horrible day, hell just the way she cries is actually just completely hard to listen to. It really shows how miserable and awful her life in generally is, it just makes you want to hug her and tell her she deserves so much better.
-->'''Meg''': ''(crying while making cookies)'' I just have to accept it, i'll '''''never''''' be happy! ''(continues sobbing)''

** This is made all the worst when months later at Christmas time, Stewie gets the Christmas cards he and Chris made with the squirrel. "I Love L.A." playing as the episode closes out on Stewie crying only makes the moment worse, as that was the song they were playing to commemorate the moment right before its death.

Yes, even ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' [[SadistShow of all shows]] has [[TearJerker moments that make you want to cry]], despite being buried under ComedicSociopathy. "Laugh and cry”, “effing cry”, really, what’s the difference?

* In "Better Off Meg", Meg is reported to have died in a car crash, due to a mix-up with her driver's license. After seeing how little her family cares about her being dead, Meg finally has enough and moves away to start a new life on her own. Averted with Lois, however, who is genuinely torn over the loss of her daughter, which is quite sad itself ([[Hypocrite especially given how she's treated her in the past]]), especially when she bursts into tears during dinner.
