History TearJerker / Markiplier

-->'''Mark''': [[spoiler:Was that the end of ''everything?!'' Oh, my God...!]]

* A video he titled saying [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDbfHJaGABw "Needs to be said".]] This is a tearjerker by itself. The way he's trying to hold back from crying is really what broke me.
** When he begins speaks about the fans he's touched and passed away, he's at such a loss of words, he's trying really hard to keep his composure.
** What got this troper so much was when he spoke about his dad, asking about what he would think about what he's done. Let's think about it: Mark has ''never'' spoken about his father ever since the Draw My Life video, and to see Mark reference him after so long is just heartbreaking. Even Mark looks like it's still hard for him to talk about his father's death.

* Markiplier in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7pGRMLCD6g hospital.]] Commence the tears.

* After his 2nd colony failed(his first collapsed in pretty short order) in ''VideoGame/OxygenNotIncluded'', he was genuinely saddened, since he had grown attached to most of the duplicates.

* His channel being hacked. Thankfully, it was brief and they got purged in less than 12 hours of the situation[[/labelnote]]. [[FridgeHorror To think]], all of his work, all of his hard work could have been undone by some [[AttentionWhore random group of hackers]] trying to [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity get famous]] is sickening.

* His channel being hacked by a group called Ourmine[[labelnote:*]]thankfully, it was brief and they got purged in less than 12 hours of the situation[[/labelnote]]. [[FridgeHorror To think]], all of his work, all of his hard work could have been undone by some [[AttentionWhore random group of hackers]] trying to [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity get famous]] is sickening.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HF0K_2RRT0 Greatest Fans in the World]]. Easily the most [[HeartwarmingMoment touching video]] he's ever made.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUGaPk4BWjI His reaction to 'The Markiplier Project' video]]. The video was a thank you from the fans for his work and dedication, all while congratulating him for 20,000 subscribers. What's really sad, but also a HeartwarmingMoment is how ''touched'' he was by it, even being at a loss of words of it.

* A video simply entitled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnlPaCb6MpM "Markiplier is BACK!! (with plenty of feels)"]] is basically this. Mark describes his experience with meeting his friends again (including [[LetsPlay/JackSepticEye Jack]] for the first time), and lamenting how he could spend more time with his friends and fans, all while also [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming feeling emotional at the fact everyone]] [[SoProudOfYou is proud of him]], his fans, his family (even mentioning again his late father), and ''even his own hometown'', the fact Mark hits this realization leaves him completely speechless and even breaking down into tears, even telling his fans he's proud of them as well.

* Shortly before his gameplay of ''Prisoned'', Mark's dog, Charlie, died. And this was a game where a guy lost his dog...yeah. Mixed with [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming happy tears,]] since he also tells some funny stories about the doggie, but even so, this video can hit hard, especially if you've lost a pet before.

* Mark's playthrough of the fangame ''Markiplier Adventures 2'', a game the developer took a long while to make. While in itself, ''not'' a sad game, Mark's emotional pour in the end about how he appreciates everything the fans make for him is saddening with a mix of [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming heartwarming]].

** Following that, he gives an explanation that he doesn't care how real or fake the world of [=OneShot=] is and that he himself would be willing [[spoiler: to return the sun if he was in Niko's position]]. While this can count towards a [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming heartwarming]] speech showing how selfless he is, Niko is not a character avatar and is separate from the player, [[spoiler: turning the situation back to Tear Jerking when Niko offers to stay back and return the sun]]. After seeing how the game ends, he looks like he's about to cry despite trying to keep a smile for his viewers. [[spoiler: So many people in the comments felt this that they begged Mark to find the NewGamePlus mode and play it to get the GoldenEnding and ease the pain.]]

*** And then he goes to play with "Calvin" one more time... and it does something he hadn't seen before: [[HeartwarmingMoments Cuddle with his hand as he pets it.]]

** The followup video featuring Miranda's father Michael makes it worse. While it's heartwarming that Mike does thank the Markiplier community for their words of support and their offers of condolences as well as the fact that a GoFundMe page has been started for funeral costs, his look of utter devastation at the loss of his daughter is heartbreaking.

** Towards the end of VideoGame/{{HeartsAndHeroes}} there's a part where [[spoiler: the terrorlings have basically taken Game Mark over and are tearing him down, when reading it Mark actually sounds genuinely upset]]
* After his 2nd colony failed(his first collapsed in pretty short order) in VideoGame/OxygenNotIncluded, he was genuinely saddened, since he had grown attached to most of the duplicates.

* [[https://youtu.be/4eC4MUicWY0 "update"]]. On June 24th 2018, he cancelled his planned stream of ''VideoGame/DetroitBecomeHuman'' after he heard his niece was killed in a car crash. As soon as you start the video you just know something isn't right, and by the end of it Mark is visibly trying to hold back tears. Emphasis on ''trying''.

* Mark being forced to cancel his show in Amsterdam (part of his European tour) due to being sick.

* Mark seems genuinely sad about losing Burnie in ''VideoGame/{{Firewatch}}''.

* Mark being forced the cancel his show in Amsterdam (part of his European tour) due to being sick.

Not everything that Markiplier encounters is chuckles and sunshine. Here are some examples...
