History TearJerker / TheFairlyOddParents

* In "Fairy Idol", the moment where Timmy finds out that Cosmo and Wanda can't be his fairies anymore, even if they accepted his apology, the only thing they can do is walk him home. They get better, but its still a sad moment.

** Chester realizing he unknowingly destroyed Timmy's life. It's small but sad. Mainly cause the only reason he found out was because he saw Timmy was upset, and innocently wished Norm to be Timmy's Oddparent, not realizing what a horrible idea would be. He honestly just wanted to help.

** Timmy winning, but not ''"feeling"'' like he won. Only thing he can think of doing is wishing Remy had more time with his parents. Unfortunately, Timmy's attempt to make Remy's parents spend more time with their son only results in them finding an oil well on the desert island they crashed on and Remy becomes neglected and resentful again.

** "Where Is The Fun", a chorus between Timmy, Flappy Bob and the Pixies, in which Timmy tries to get Flappy to see what's really going on while the Pixies try to drive him further into villainy. Poor Flappy can't decide which side he should go to... but in the end he picks the Pixies' side.

-->'''Timmy:''' I love you too. And that's why I had to do it, because... THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE!

-->'''Remy:''' But... ''I'' care if ''you'' do! [[ParentalNeglect My parents are never home! I never get to see them!]] [[ArmorPiercingQuestion Why should you get real parents]] ''[[ArmorPiercingQuestion and]]'' [[ArmorPiercingQuestion godparents who love you]] '''[[ArmorPiercingQuestion WHEN I DON'T!!??]]'''

** After getting the full story of why he has Cosmo and Wanda in the first place (because his parents constantly lying), Timmy forlornly wished that they would just stop. What makes this especially poignant is that this wasn't in the typically commanding "I wish for..." tone (though per Da Rules, Cosmo and Wanda grant it anyway) but Timmy actually making a heartfelt wish that his parents would genuinely change for him because what they've been doing hurts him that deeply.

* While "Birthday Bashed" is mostly just a standard silly FOP episode, this would be the final psychical apparence of Chip Skylark and Chris Kirkpatrick. For anyone who grew up watching the episodes that featured him (as well as FOP, for that matter), it might hit a little too close to home.

* Timmy's life in general can be this, which is actually why he was given Fairy Godparents in the first place. It's often [[HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood played for laughs]], but ultimately, Timmy is a neglected, lonely child whose parents are often away, don't pay attention to him and leave him at the mercy of his BabysitterFromHell. He is [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer unpopular at school and often bullied]] and struggles at school because his teacher [[SadistTeacher loves giving his students Fs even when they don't deserve it]]. [[FridgeHorror Who knows how his life would be if Cosmo and Wanda weren't around...]]

* Timmy revealing Cosmo and Wanda's existence to his parents in "Abra-Catastrophe!" to save them from being used by Crocker.

* When Timmy is revealed to have wished for ComicBookTime so that he'd never lose Cosmo and Wanda, Jorgen fixes the wish. This turns Timmy into an adult, and undoes all of his wishes. Not only does that include Poof, but he must erase Cosmo and Wanda's memory of their son. This is so traumatic for Jorgen it causes him to become morbidly obese to deal with the stress.

* The look on Chester's and A.J.'s faces at the end of ''Wishology'' Part 2 when Timmy sacrifices himself to the Darkness. Even though, it's LimitedAnimation, the expressions on the boys' faces when they realize they may never see their best friend again is truly heartbreaking; and they didn't have to say a word. Hell, even Vicky and Trixie are shocked at the fact they may never see him again.

** Unfundamentals, while a catchy and [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic awesome song]], is still a rather sad description of the [[DarkestHour bleak situation]] both fairies and humans are living in, no thanks to H.P and Sanderson.

* In "The Switch Glitch", Timmy wishes he was the bad babysitter to give Vicky a taste of her own medicine...but rather than getting the sadistic teenager in a child's body, he gets Vicky as an ''innocent'' child who has no idea ''why'' he's doing this to her. It ends with Vicky crying and Timmy laughing, but then he stops, wondering why he's not happy with getting revenge on his tormentor. Wanda points out that he didn't; he just used their magic to make her cry. And then Vicky gets Cosmo and Wanda after they are reassigned to her.

** It gets even worse when all the other prisoners see Timmy leaving and cry [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas ''"We want our mommies and daddies two!"''].

** At one point in the song, Timmy asks Flappy how he thinks [[NonIronicClown his parents]] would feel if they discovered what he's become. Flappy promptly looks at a photo of his parents [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas and starts]] [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone to cry]].
