Tear Jerker / Weenies

Go To

  • The girl's curse in "The Touch". First she loses one of her beloved childhood toys, then she loses her mom! As she's sobbing her eyes out and hugging herself, she accidentally curses herself to disappear, but at that point it seems like a mercy.
  • Mummy Misses You has a kid being a mistaken for a mummy's son, as the mummy seems to have been looking for him for centuries. The kid quietly tells the mummy he's not her son and she solemnly goes back to her sarcophagus. Lubar even acknowledges this turned out sadder than usual for the series.
  • Camping Out has a girl waking up in her tent while camping, with no one else around. She goes outside to see what is going on. She finds her family and friends but it turns out that she died a year ago and they are there to mourn her on the anniversary of her death. The worst part is that she then finds herself back where she was at the beginning of the story, meaning she's not at rest and will go through this again.
  • The titular story in Land Of the Lawn Weenies, while not bad in the usual way, results in a kid essentially losing his loving mom to the creepy lawnmowers that essentially force an adult to obsessively take care of their lawn.
