Go To

  • In "The Heart of the Jungle" when Sherman is sad because he can't find the other wormans.
  • In "The Key to the Nile" when Princess CleoTasha sings the song "I Want My River Back" about how much she wants the Nile River back due to it having dried up.
  • In "Race Around the World" when Austin keeps coming in last in the race, and sings a lament about it.
  • In "Mission to Mars" when Austin loses Rover and thinks he'll never see him again. It's probably the closest the show has ever had to a character crying, though we don't see any tears.
  • In "Scared of You" when Austin thinks everyone forgot about his birthday, including the monsters he just met. Luckily, it turns out they were planning it as a surprise.
  • In "The Secret of Snow" when Tasha explains to the gang that she can't make snow, only ice, and they all sing the namesake song.
  • In "Blazing Paddles" when Pablo takes over Uniqua as sheriff, so that no one in Ping Pong Mesa will ever get to play ping pong again.
  • In "Caveman's Best Friend" when Austin loses Boy. Afterwards he sings a Tear Dryer song with Uniqua; "I Need a Hand".
  • In "Ranch Hands from Outer Space" when Tasha thinks she lost her horses. Even though you know Uniqua and Pablo are holding the shrunken-down horses, you still can't help but feel sorry for Tasha.
  • In "Follow the Feather" when the adventurers see the Polka Dot Pony looking really sad, because she doesn't have her feather which gives her the ability to fly.
