* The second season finale is incredibly heartwrenching. [[spoiler:Pamela leaves for Paris to try and patch things up with her son's father, and implores Louie to not pine for her while she's away. She makes this as clear as possible. Then, after she's crossed the turnstile at the airport, she yells at Louie to "wave at me!", only for him to mishear it as "wait for me!". Louie leaves the airport in high spirits.]]
* A lot of the season 3 finale isn't too chipper, either, dealing with [[spoiler:the aftermath of Louie failing to get the Late Show gig]]. Also, [[spoiler:Liz's Death, especially seeing as it happens while the rest of the hospital is celebrating the New Year's countdown]].
* Sort of a meta-example, but during an interview with Creator/{{NPR}}, listening to audio from "Eddie" of Louie failing to convince his friend not to kill himself actually caused Louis to cry, as he felt that much of the emotion in that scene now applied to the then-recent death of fellow comedian Patrice O'Neal, who Louis' special "Live at the Beacon Theater" is dedicated to.
** Eddie's explanation for why he wants to kill himself is a heartwrencher, laying out matter-of-factly and with no self-pity or melodrama.
---> '''Eddie''': Listen, man, I'm cashing in. I'm done. I'm forty-shit years old. I got nothing. I got nobody. And I don't want anything. I don't want anybody. And that's the worst part, when the want goes. That's bad. Suffering is one thing or not having is one thing, but when you just don't care anymore..."
* The episode with Robin Williams is a retroactive tearjerker in the light of Robin William's death.
** Now the same with Joan Rivers.

* Louie's reaction to learning that Amia is going back to Hungary just as he's starting to have feelings for her, going back to his apartment and banging on the keyboard of his piano with a baseball bat, barely able to contain his distress.
