* A TakeOurWordForIt male example in ''{{Wings}}'', when Helen dates a man who cries when she mentions her dead dog; she becomes disillusioned when she realizes he cries at everything. "We went to a Marx Brothers film and he was crying because Harpo couldn't talk."

Added entry for Hamlet under Theatre

Added DiffLines:

* Hamlet in Shakespeare's play has been played this way, in a production starring Kevin Kline in the title role. While no one can fault Kline's talent as an actor, both the number of times he bursts into tears during the production and his reputation as a comic actor makes it unintentionally comic (at least to this viewer).

* Princess Shirahoshi from {{One Piece}} doesn't just LOOK like she would burst into tears from something trivial like being awakened from a nap- she actually does. She has an excuse though, with her being a witness to her mother's assasination and having to spend the past 10 years locked up in a tower because of death threats. She gets a little better after she makes friends, though.

* Amy Wong in ''{{Futurama}}'' temporarily turns into a FragileFlower in a [[PlayedForLaughs one-shot joke]]:
-->'''Bender:''' Man, I guess it's harder than I thought to make someone cry.
-->'''Amy:''' You did your best, Bender.
-->'''Bender:''' Up yours, bimbo!
-->''(Amy runs away crying)''

* Latvia (pictured above) and Ukraine in AxisPowersHetalia. In Latvia's case, it's to a ''ridiculous'' extent.
** To be fair, a lot of things in Hetalia are taken to a ridiculous extent.



** Actually make that EVERY SINGLE DARN character in Heian Japanese Literature - and Real Life too!



** [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that the entire right side of her body (including her ''[[TwoFaced face]]'') is covered with severe burn scars. And Japan being a culture that is focused somewhat on aesthetic beauty...yeah.

* According to one of his less-effectual titles in ''YggdraUnison'', Nessiah--despite his status as the local MagnificentBastard--cries very easily when hurt or frustrated. If the player's performance is substandard, this happens often enough that his enemies start to mock him for being childish, and his subordinates have to devote a lot of time to taking care of him. As Nessiah's social skills are strange at best, he never really becomes cognizant of the burden he's putting on them.
