History TearJerker / TheSpoonyExperiment

** According to JewWario (by way of his livestream) he has Manic Depression...which walks a fine line between Tear Jerker and HighOctaneNightmareFuel.

* The blackened version of his logo used to protest SOPA. "The Experiment Is Over."
** YMMV. For some, it was straight-up [[NightmareFuel nightmare fuel]].

* Spoony's "Rumor Control" post, confirming that he and Scarlett have broken up after more than two years, leaving him in a "very dark place" and in no mood to make any more videos for the foreseeable future. Even more so as he refuses to give any details on how it happened, knowing that he can't possibly give an objective account and his {{FanDumb}} would attack Scarlett for it.
** As if the breakup itself wasn't painful enough, a rather industrious troll (egged on by...''[[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement certain critics]]'' of Spoony's work) took the opportunity to [[KickTheDog flood Noah's Twitter account with dozens of hateful messages]], calling him (among other things) a "worthless" and "pathetic excuse for a human being" who deserved his sufferings and should ''never have been born''. After that, it's frankly amazing that Noah didn't leave the internet for good.

* The [[{{Ultima}} ideals of the Avatar]] playing over the Avatar butchering a bunch of kids, as the ''{{Platoon}}'' theme plays.

** What makes it especially sad is that [=LordKat=] has made it crystal clear that he bears no ill will toward Spoony, and that the door remains open for their friendship to be rekindled. Spoony, however, continues to turn down every offer and opportunity to do so....

** Thankfully, he seems to be recovering... poor guy nonetheless. First physical heart problems, and then psychological ones. Hopefully, things will get better for him especially now that he has Oreo (his new pet dog).

** What makes it especially sad is that [=LordKat=] has made it perfectly clear that he bears no ill will toward Spoony, and that the door remains open for their friendship to be rekindled. Spoony, however, has continued to turn down every opportunity to do so....

* He's now actually been diagnosed with depression, for the last several months. And no medication seems to work.

* Far, far too much of his "Breaking Dawn Part One" vlog. He actually had to bring in Linkara & Jew Wario to keep him from getting too depressing and on track; actually got drunk on-camera; and was really depressed about how bad the movie was and how he no longer had anyone to laugh at the Twilight movies with.

* [[http://spoonyexperiment.com/2011/12/14/vlog-12-14-11-trip-to-dc-stop-sopa/ Vlog 12-14-11 – Trip to DC, Stop SOPA!]] is, for this troper, absolutely heartbreaking. Not only is Noah visibly shaken by his trip to DC, but he also explains how, while none are ready to give up the fight just yet, all the contributors of ThatGuyWithTheGlasses have been talking about what they would do if the bill passes [[UnPerson knowing full well that their sites could just like that be delisted, robbing them of their livelihood]].

** Pretty Much Anything involving Spoony and his friends, he's so depressed he's not seeing things straight

** He also mentions a lack of friends to go see it with. This man medically needs a hug.

** This perhaps needs clarification: the primary reason he didn't have nearly as much fun watching this one, besides its massive suck, was that the previous Twilight movies, he watched with Scarlett, who he would riff with, and this one he had to watch alone.

* His reaction to the death of Kodo in ''{{Beastmaster}}''. "No joke, when I saw that as a kid, I wept for days. I'm still traumatized!"

* Some would say that the rapid deterioration of LordKat and Spoony's friendship, is a tear jerker in itself. Especially if you go back and listen to their D&D campaigns, and hear how much fun they're having, it's quite sad.
