Tear Jerker / Doc McStuffins

• Gaby's song "Nobody Wants a Broken Toy" in "Arcade Escapade." It's a very sad song about how nobody wants a toy like her because she's ripped and she has to watch as all the other toys get picked. Even Doc herself gets teary-eyed.
• Towards the end of "A Dragon's Best Friend", when Squibbles' owner has come to pick it up, Stuffy's goodbye to the toy and his practical sobbing while holding the toy is quite sad. Even more so when Doc comes back into the clinic and we see that the rest of the toys are still trying to comfort Stuffy. Luckily, it wasn't the boy's toy and Stuffy then adopts Squibbles.
• "My Huggy Valentine". The whole episode, you just wanna give Lambie a warm hug and comfort her because of her Heroic BSoD after thinking Doc likes Val more than her. The scene when she sheds a Single Tear is pretty sad.
  • Though to make up for it, Doc did apologize for not paying her enough attention and tells Lambie she'll always love her.
• "Hazel Has a Sleepover" features the titular character being scared to go to a sleepover at Doc's because she has an embarrassing problem; her trunk leaks at night. Fortunately, Doc and her crew reassure Hazel it's nothing to be ashamed of and later help her overcome it
• Seeing Piglet so concerned for Pooh in the crossover episode Hundred Acre Wood, especially when Pooh is taken to the Toy Hospital and Piglet is seen running behind him until Lambie prevents him from going further. Thankfully this turns into a heartwarming moment, since Lambie is very close with Piglet and really cares about him and even hugs him to calm him down.
• "Hannah the Brave" is a sobering episode, to say the least. Mainly because it involves a young girl having to go through chemotherapy for what’s implied to be Cancer (they never actually state what her illness is, just that it’s pretty bad). It might drag up some painful memories from those who either have gone through such a thing or have known someone who has.
• The St. Patrick's Day episode "A Giant Save", has Gillian the Giant (insecure over her large size) running away from Doc and the other toys in frustration due to her giant size causing a lot of trouble. As she continues running from Lambie in tears, the sweet lamb decides to follow Gillian to ask her "What's wrong?". Gillian begins ranting to Lambie over her tall size causing problems as she's breaking down. She even stomps her feet expressing her frustration which causes the ground to shake. Lambie responds to Gillian's rant by giving her a hug to calm her down. After she calms Gillian, Lambie takes her back to Doc and the other toys to make her feel more confident over her height.
• The episode "Lambie and the McStuffins Babies" where Lambie, Stuffy, Hallie, and Chilly are turned into baby toys has some notably sad moments with Lambie:
  • Stuffy begins crying since he's not able to roar, which causes the three baby toys (and Chilly) to cry. Hallie tries to calm Stuffy down but slowly starts to break down. When everyone is crying, Lambie tries her hardest to resist crying but starts breaking down while saying "This is bad!".
  Lambie: (breaking down) Don't cry... don't.. THIS IS BAD! This is worse than what happened at the nursery!
  • After Lambie and the others are sent to a random house. Lambie starts crying after blaming herself for getting everyone into this terrible mission. Thankfully, Hallie and the others all start giving her a cuddle with Hallie repeating her line "This calls for a cuddle."
  • After Lambie fails to bring the three baby toys back to headquarters. Lambie starts crying and apologizes to Doc for failing the mission. Doc tells Lambie that she didn't fail, but the baby toys were actually delivered to the right house.
• In " A Cure for a King" Wicked King falling into Despair Event Horizon and almost gave up being king because it looked like there was no hope in fixing him since his crown broke off and nothing was working. If it was not for Doc and Queen Amina, he would have done it for sure. He even imagined what it would be like if he didn't have his crown. You can tell how heartbroken he is about the situation.
• In "It's a Hard Doc Life," Doc McStuffins is worried that she's royally screwed up and hurt her patients, so much so that she should stop working at the Toy Hospital.
  Doc McStuffins: (to her Mom) Mom, did you ever mess up so bad that you thought maybe it was better for your patients if you weren't their doctor anymore?
  Mom McStuffins: Well, all doctors have hard days, but we keep going because we love what we do and we help lots of people.
  Doc McStuffins: But what if you do something, and your patients get hurt? You told me that doctors take an oath to do no harm, and that's like a promise you can't break.
• In "A Day Without Cuddles", Lambie is rendered unable to cuddle due to being covered in flour. This becomes sad when you realise that her favourite thing to do is cuddle and it's basically what defines her, that it's "International Cuddle Day" (a Fictional Holiday devoted to cuddling), and that she's not actually sick despite the contagion allegory, so she feels perfectly up to it. What tops it off is the sad song she sings about her inability to cuddle.
• In one episode, Teddy B. gets a splinter in him, so when Donnie hugs him, the splinter ends up giving him a little cut. Even though the wound is very minor and Teddy B. didn't mean to injure him, Teddy B. still feels very guilty for accidentally injuring Donnie, even calling himself a monster.
• The plight of the toys in Lost And Found Land. All of them were lost by their beloved kids (in situations that parallel ways a parent can lose track of their child), either temporarily or permanently and even after they discover that the tags that will allow the toys to return to their kids haven't actually been lost, Tilly, after waiting until last so the others don't worry about her, reveals that her tag has become so worn it's useless for getting her home.
