History TearJerker / ProJared

You wouldn't expect it from a reviewer who frequents sarcasm, but Jared's various videos can be quite the {{Tear Jerker}}s. ''Especially'' from the [[SelfImposedChallenge Nuzlocke]] [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} playthroughs]].

** To put this into perspective, many have said his videos inspired them to get into ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' or RPGs, or simply helped them through tough times. To them, the memories of his videos are now irreversibly tainted.

* The recent news of Jared cheating on his wife and sending nudes to minors has absolutely devastated many loyal members of his fanbase. Never will ex-fans manage to watch some of Jared's oldest, most nostalgic videos, like the ones he made on ''VideoGame/{{Hydlide}}'' and ''VideoGame/TwoWorlds'' under the same light.

* Near the end of VideoGame/DetroitBecomeHuman, [[spoiler:he accidentally gets Kara and Alice killed by attempting to keep running when they're under fire from the FBI instead of surrendering or playing dead, leaving him in StunnedSilence as the gravity of his mistake starts to dawn on him.]]

-->'''Jared''': [[spoiler:It's not fair to myself... to feel like I'me the one to blame for this... but man do I feel guilty!]]

** The emotion continues into the next scene [[spoiler:in Sayori's house, as he softly mutters "please be okay" entering her room, solemnly reads her lines about her depression, and cringes at the [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold protagonist]]'s clueless attempts to help.]]

** [[spoiler:And it happens again on his next visit, when she... [[DrivenToSuicide is not]]. Jared needs a whole minute to compose himself after this.]]

You wouldn't expect it from a LetsPlay channel, but Jared's various Nuzlocke series can be quite the {{Tear Jerker}}s.

** Especially the Stinger: [[CallBack "And every day she looks out the window, waiting for him to come back."]]
* On a non-Nuzlocke note; the finale of the ''VideoGame/UntilDawn'' playthrough has [[spoiler: Jared failing to save Jessica in the mines (by trying to force the injured Jess to run rather than hide) and Mike (by accidentally having Sam run too early in the final sequence). Not only is he angry and upset with himself after coming so far with zero deaths, hover over the annotation to the playlist at the end...]]
-->''I'm so so sorry [[spoiler: Mike... Jessica...]]''
* His Asagao Academy stream, where he played through Satch's route. [[spoiler: While watching a scene showing (virtual reality) Jirard and PBG hanging out, Jared started to tear up because he doesn't get to hang out with them as much as he'd like to in real life.]]
* After returning home from PAX 2017, Jared released a video revealing that, while he was away, the home he and his wife were living in at the time had sustained very serious water damage as a result of a broken pipe, leaving a lot of his and his wife's belongings ruined. [[FromBadToWorse And a lot of what hadn't been damaged by the water was contaminated by asbestos.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSKoOZs4M_E The entire four-minute video]] is Jared, in a dust filter mask, walking around the house, [[DissonantSerenity calmly explaining what happened]] and that there won't be any new videos for a while. Compared to most of his videos, [[MoodWhiplash it's a bit jarring.]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PMUhZM92jA In the follow-up video]], Jared explains that he, his wife and Ares (their cat) are okay, but his wife [[FromBadToWorse lost almost all of her costumes, crafting materials and tools thanks to the water damage]]. He specifically states that it's the worst thing he's ever seen her go through.
** The worst part is how he puts it into perspective for his audience, most of whom have only known Jared by his videos and mass collection of games and game memorabilia. Yes, it'd have been bad for him if his game den had been affected, but those are, in the end, games. He can always buy replacements. Heidi lost much of ''her life's work,'' and expressions of her creativity on top of that. For many creatives in the audience, the thought of losing all of one's work is heartbreaking.

* The last episode of his Alpha Sapphire Nuzlocke [[spoiler: turns into a complete CurbStompBattle as Jared was not expecting Winona's Altaria to have Earthquake that kills off Zimzy, Fibboo, Traggs and Cordy. At this point, Jared knew he was done for and crosses the DespairEventHorizon as Altaria finishes off Srawling and Rolic.]]

-->'''Jared''': [[spoiler:Goodbye Jefina... You bought a turn for us maybe, I dunno. ''(releases Jefina)''. Nokenil... the same. ''(releases Nokenil)''... ''Pachifetch''! You were the weirdest thing I ever had, you electric Farfetch'd squirrel not-Flying type... You were also one of my best Pokemon, you even had great moves. ''(releases Pachifetch)''...Why? ''Why is it always the starters that fall?!'' '''WHY?!''' ''(releases Fuhrdan)'']]

* ''Dark Cry'' Episode 6: [[spoiler:Jared losing Jefina, Nokenil, Pachifetch and Fuhrdan all in one go, and having to say goodbye to all of them.]]
