If there is a series that could potentially hold the world record for most crying ever, it had to be this series. But do keep in mind that all this is done underwater.

Season 2
- Dying For Pie: SpongeBob once made Squidward a sweater out of his own tears. It Makes Sense in Context (not a whole lot of sense, but some).
- "Grandma's Kisses": When SpongeBob's grandma ignored and didn't coddle him because he wanted to be treated as an adult, he eventually snapped and cried. SpongeBob squirted tears into his own mouth, then sprayed teardrops like a garden sprinkler, complete with sound effects. Eventually his tears flooded Grandma's house. She pulled a plug on her house's floor to drain the tears away.
Season 3
