History TearJerker / Dinosaurs

'''Stan:''' Gee, that's big you, Earl. \\

* The final episode, especially the last five minutes. A new ice age is forming, the dinosaurs are doomed, and ''everyone''[[note]]except most likely the cavepeople, the mammals, and any species that survived the K-P Event[[/note]] from the series is going to die. But what really drives it home is when Baby asks what's going to happen to them. Earl and Fran don't say anything, but from the way they look at each other, it's clear that they know they're not going to make it. This comes with the unfortunate implication that technology is going to be set back millions of years, as the cave people won't become intelligent enough in time to save it, thus forcing them to reinvent it all from scratch over hundreds of thousands of years.

-->'''Earl Sinclair''': Stop it! You're not a soldier, you're a kid,

** There's also the fact that, when the show ended, Robbie, Charlene, and Baby are in the same age range when the show began. '''[[DeathOfAChild They never got a chance to grow up and/or experience adulthood]].'''

-->'''Robbie Sinclair''': Dad?
-->'''Earl Sinclair''': It's allright son, it's over... you're home.

* The culmination of "Driving Miss Ethyl". After routine shenanigans as two characters who hate each other are forced to share the small space of a car as Earl drives Ethyl to her 60th high school reunion, they finally arrive at the celebration. Except no one is there. In fact, Ethyl is the ''only'' person they were expecting: all the others, including all of Ethyl's closest friends, have passed away.

-->'''Earl Sinclair''': ''(crying)'' They took him away to a beautiful place on a wonderful life where he'll get everything he'll ever need! And I'm not gonna be the one who gives it to him!

** Earl's last quote ever: "And hey, I'm sure it will all work out okay. After all, dinosaurs have been on this Earth for 150 million years. And it's not like we're going to just... disappear." [[TemptingFate You had to say that, didn't you, Earl?]]

* What Fran goes through in "Switched at Birth" is hard not to feel sympathy for. In spite of alarming evidence proving that it is more than likely the case, Fran just can't bring herself to accept that the child she raised isn't her real child. [[spoiler:Fortunately, it turns out in the end that there was never a mix-up in the first place and that the doctor flubbed the DNA test, so Baby actually was the Sinclairs' child all along.]]

-->'''Howard Handupme''': And taking a look at the long range forecast: continued snow, darkness, and extreme cold. This is Howard Handupme. Goodnight... goodbye.

* The ending of "Nuts to War (Part 2)" is both this and a Heartwarming Moment.
