History TearJerker / AquaTeenHungerForce

* In the penultimate episode itself, we have [[spoiler:the deaths of Master Shake and Frylock]].

* You can't help but feel bad for the Zeebles in "Storage Zeebles"; Carl buys a storage unit hoping to find some Nazi antiques in it, and instead discovers a SugarBowl of an alternate dimension. So what does Carl do? Take advantage of the Zeebles' kindness, pillage all their resources and bulldoze everything else. Carl even goes as far as to ''steal their sun'', which screws out of the ceiling like a giant lightbulb. Even when their king is outright ''begging'' Carl to stop, he makes it overwhelmingly clear that he doesn't give two shits if they all starve and die, dooming an entire world's inhabitants out of sheer, apathetic greed. Which all makes seeing Carl get [[KickTheSonOfABitch his balls ripped off]] by the Night Wolf all the [[LaserGuidedKarma more satisfying]].

* For the movie, Shake gets sick of Meatwads's goofy nonsequitors and proceeds to pull out a shotgun and blast him in the face. He doesn't just go "ow" and spend the rest of the scene with a hole in him, or become multiple smaller Meatwads like in "Multiple Meat." He just ''dies''. Everyone is aghast, even Shake himself, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone who clearly expected him to just take it like a champ and be intimidated into silence]].

-->'''Shake:''' (''Genuinely Confused'') "What... What happened?!"

** Forutnately Meatwad is brought back to life by the magic drumming skills of [[Music/{{Rush}} Neil Peart]].

* Jubilee. Dear ''God''. She's stuck in a porno ring by [[BastardBoyfriend Knapsacky]], with her not wanting any involvement with it. She ends up crying on the set near the lake, with Knapsacky pretty much making it clear he cares more about the profit than her.

* Tabitha getting taken into the woods to be killed by the number 100 in the hundredth episode.

* In one of the series finale episodes, Meatwad grows up--he gets married, starts a family, has a steady job and stable life. Once his kids are old enough, he takes his family to the old Aqua Teen house. The Shake-shaped doorway has been covered up and the house repainted, Carl's pool has been removed for some time (and Meatwad doesn't remember his name), and from the glimpse we get inside the house it's completely different than in the series. Nobody's home when Meatwad knocks, leaving him to drive away with his family--he's not sad, the music doesn't turn dramatic, and all in all the episode ends on a rather downplayed, bitterweet note. The real TearJerker comes from the TruthInTelevision of it all--sometimes, despite all the fun and wild adventures you might have in your youth, you settle down and drift apart from your old friends and life. And sometimes, all that's left are fun memories to hang onto. After thirteen seasons, it can be a hard thing for an audience to see.

* Shake's death in "Muscles". In a rare moment of compassion, both Frylock and Meatwad are equally distraught at what happened to Shake. This is likely due to Shake not being a total {{Jerkass}} in the episode and such is genuinely sympathetic.

* “Larry Miller Hair System” sees Carl witnessing a alternate, more happier version of himself [[ItMakesSenseInContext if he had hair.]] Carl isn’t pleased with this, and gives his alternate self advice that completely ruins his life. Hair!Carl loses his job, his wife and kids leave him, and then shaves his hair to look like the real Carl. In total despair, Hair!Carl [[DrivenToSuicide kills himself with a shotgun.]] The worst part is that Carl [[LackOfEmpathy isn’t bothered with what he had just done.]]

* Jubilee. Dear ''God''. She's stuck in a porno ring by [[BastardBoyfriend Knapsacky]], with her not wanting any involvement with it. She ends up crying on the set near the lake, with Knapsacky pretty much making it clear he cares more about the profit than her.
