As this is a Tear Jerker page, all spoilers will be unmarked ahead. You Have Been Warned!


  • Wabbit Season: Bugs Bunny is revealed to be a struggling rapist who breaks down when his father intervenes before he can rape Elmer Fudd.
    • RIP Wabbit Season: On March 22, 2020, Warner Brothers Entertainment issued a legal claim on "Wabbit Season" forcing YouTube to side with them. The video opens with Eddy and the rest of MeatCanyon's creations attending Bugs Bunny's funeral. While the video devolves into Take That! after Take That! on how because Warner Brothers legally claimed the video it was now canonical that Bugs was a struggling rapist, the video nevertheless shows how easy it is for corporations to work around the rules of parodies.
    • Space Jam Season Bugs Bunny returns and starts saying his lines verbatim as in the first video before he suddenly stops and feels as though he has experienced this all before. He then reacts with horror as the other Looney Tunes show up and actively encourage Bugs to continue his predatory behavior that made him so famous, including his current intended victim, Lebron James. When Bugs voices that he doesn't want to go through with it, his girlfriend, Lola, tells him that he MUST, otherwise, Bugs will amount to nothing more than just another "long eared bunny". Bugs, realizing the truth in her words, reluctantly goes through with the bit, with even the other Looney Tunes chiming in, to their delight and Bugs' sadness.
      • Bugs will be unable to honor his father's wishes to abandon his raping of others, as long as the other Looney Tunes have a say in it.
  • HELGA THE BULLY: Helga, as usual, abrasively pushes Arnold, but in this case, she accidentally kills him. She is then arrested for it.
  • The Great Reptar Adventure is a serious gut punch to everyone who grew up watching Rugrats; Tommy and Chuckie go looking for Tommy's Reptar doll as, in the background, an argument between Didi and Stu over his alcoholism devolves into Didi shooting Stu when he reveals he knows about her affair with Chas. Chas comes in and finishes Stu off, but not before gloating that Tommy is his son and not Stu's. Then a cop bursts in, and Chas suggest they just ditch their kids and flee, only for the cop to shoot them when Chas threatens him before taking Tommy and Chuckie off to foster care, with the two babies completely and blissfully unaware of the situation.
    Didi: I did it, Chas. I finally shot that son of a bitch.
    Stu: (coughing) ...The last thing I get to see is the limp dick fucking retard that's plowing my whore of a wife?!
    Chas: You know, Stu? I never liked you.
    Stu: Bi- BIG fucking surprise, asshole.
    Chas: Oh, Stu... (Dramatic Gun Cock) Tommy's not your kid. He's mine. (BANG)
    • After the cop ends up shooting Chas, Stu, and Didi. He briefly slumps against the door and remorsefully says "Oh my god!" before noticing Tommy and Chuckie. He starts reporting to the police about Tommy and Chuckie being orphans and tries to remain calm by telling them he's taking them to foster care.
      Cop: Alright, come on. Yep, you're going to foster care since, you know... I had to... blow away your mommy and daddy... They were bad people. You're going to find yourself a new family now.
  • Breakfast On A Wednesday: Joshua is an obese man suffering from depression. When he tries to eat a grapefruit, Tony the Tiger stops him and convinces him to continue eating Frosted Flakes. With that, Joshua considers himself a failure before leaving his house deciding that he could lose weight another day.
    • Unlike most other videos which are surreal and nonsensical, this one is surprisingly dramatic in how realistic the situation is. Joshua's struggle is played entirely straight, the only things offsetting this being Tony the Tiger as the voice in Josh's head and a quick live-action scene with MeatCanyon cosplaying the cereal mascot.
  • I CAN COUNT TO THREE: The video begins with an abominated Peppa Pig eating Daddy Pig in the kitchen, with Mommy Pig and George both crying in terror the bedroom next door. Mommy gestures to run across the room to her so they can escape, only for Peppa to catch and charge at Mommy as she's signaling George. Poor George is forced to watch his older sister slaughter her all while trying to avoid detection. One Hope Spot later, Peppa finds him regardless.
  • Gumballs In The Park: The whole video is about Mordecai and Rigby (the latter especially) being coerced by Benson into eating his gumballs in a realistically uncomfortable parallel to workplace sexual abuse.
  • BLOO CLOO: Dear lord, BLOO CLOO. Steve from Blue's Clues is being driven crazy by an Animalistic Abomination of his dog and the talking objects around his house throughout the video. The noise becomes more and more incessant, and Steve tells Blue that he doesn't even recognize the monster that she had become and that he hates her. When the noises only gets louder, he starts stomping on the dog and the scene shifts back to reality, with Steve finding he had stomped his poor normal dog to death and begs her to not die. Meanwhile the TV replays a commercial about taking pride in your dog in the background. Mood Whiplash doesn't begin to describe it.
    • Made even worse is that unlike most other videos by MeatCanyon, which while still disturbing, are still over the top enough to not be taken seriously, Steve going insane as depicted in this cartoon is something that actually happens to some people in Real Life. If you want an animated parody that you won't want to rewatch, look no further.
  • King of Mukbang: Nikocado Avocado is in the middle of preparing for his next video, but in a twisted variation of the Midas Touch, everything he touches turns to fat, including Orlin. Alone in a world of greyish-yellow congealed fat, Nick touches the camera again only for it to disintegrate (along with his right hand and arm) as well. Despite that, he resigns himself to his fate and continues to eat with no way to return home.
  • SCREAMS FROM THE GOLDEN ARCHES: After successfully giving birth to a litter of Grimaces, the mother Grimace is forced to watch her children get taken from her before she is killed. One of the baby Grimaces is forced to watch the mob devour its mother's corpse.
  • Trapped in a Family Guy Cutaway: Nearly the entire video can be this, as Peter (as well as the other ones), ask the viewer if they remembered liking the show, despite the decline and state of limbo the show is in.
    • During the short, Peter says a surprisingly potent line.
      Peter: You will never be satisfied! Everything will disappoint you! You think all the things that bring you joy now will be able to stand up on that pedestal?! They'll be standing right next to me before you know it. This was all for you. THIS! WAS ALL! FOR YOU!
    • Peter's wistful acknowledgment that his show has overstayed its welcome and that he's powerless to stop Family Guy from continuing to be renewed.
      Peter: Maybe I should've left a long time ago. I can't control what they do with me. They're gonna milk me forever, which is crazier than the time we joked about not liking Meg...
  • While MY FIRST SLUMBER PARTY is mostly just an odd sleepover through the eyes of a young Meat Canyon, it's implied by the Dad's weird behavior, the bruises on his knuckles, and the fact that the Mother is crying while washing the dishes that she is being abused by her husband. When she talks to Meat Canyon and basically confesses to being abused, she refers to her Husband by his last name. Instead of comforting her or even paying attention, Meat Canyon just notices a bag of pizza bites in the freezer, while the only snacks they were served were bananas.
  • Melvin watching a young boy bowl with his father in GUTTERBALL. It doesn't help that Robby trash talks his late dad in earshot throughout the entire short.
  • "Fat Shaming a Streamer" is one of the ultimate examples of a Downer Ending. Caseoh is depicted as growing taller and fatter everytime he reacts to trolling about his weight. This renders him a blubbery behemoth that bursts out of his house and craters the ground beneath him, still growing larger as he thinks the truth of what's happening to him is more trolling. Even worse, his weight is being transmitted to every device tuned into his livestream, creating ultra dense spots that sink cities around the globe. As all this is happening, a boy named Timmy, who's watching the stream, gets his hands crushed by his phone, begging his mother for help as they watch it all unfold on the TV before the power goes out. All she can do is hug Timmy as their house collapses around them. And then the Earth implodes into a black hole which starts sucking in the entire galaxy. Doesn't get much more downer than that.
    Timmy: (crying) It was our fault. We provoked him... And now we're all going to die.
    Timmy's Mother: No, no. No, sweetie, don't say that. Don't say that!
    Timmy: We did this, Mom! We did this!
