** Even for those who regard his as TheScrappy, it's hard to not feel for Snotlout. The whole tone plays out that he is breaking down because he is likely the very cause for what could have been ''his best friend's death'' and goes from haughty jerk to near-sobbing wreck. Anyone who lost a pet would empathize with him.

** The moment itself is pretty bad too. Hiccup doesn't usually show it directly, but he's a huge WellDoneSonGuy - and as this episode proves, his very un-Viking physique does still bother him - and his reaction over the painting is heartbreaking.
--> '''Hiccup:''' "It's not me."
--> '''Stoick:''' "Sure it is! It's you but... you know... bigger! Stronger!"
--> '''Mulch:''' "Now that's the son of a Viking Chief!" (he and Stoick agree and laugh, oblivious to the implication or Hiccup's reaction)
--> <Hiccup says nothing, but wears an absolutely crushed look on his face and just backs away, staring sadly at the painting>

* In We Are The Family, Mildew (Yes Mildew) shows off some TearJerker scenes. First of all he has Fungus, the only thing he actually cares about, taken from him and suggested that he was going to be eaten. He then helps Hiccup get back to Toothless. He even performs a HeroicSacrific at the end asking Gobber to make sure that Hiccup knows he is sorry for all he is done before letting go so they could escape. Then another type of TearJerker scene comes when [[spoiler: he never changed and was working with Alvin all along, showing a character that finally seemed to be turning a new leaf is even worse]].

* Seeing the twins, usually are Comedy Relief, fighting with each other in a way that isn't comical at all. And an easy thing to understand for anyone who's ever had brothers or sisters; Tuffnut's rant about not having anything that's just ''his'', as opposed to ''theirs'', hits particularly hard.

* The strain on Hiccup and Toothless's friendship in "What Flies Beneath" was also very hard to watch. Toothless was caught up in his grudge against the Whispering Death to the point where he refused to let Hiccup help, even though doing so left both of them flightless and handicapped. It culminated in Toothless firing a plasma blast just inches from Hiccup's feet just to keep him from following, and Hiccup had to resort to [[spoiler:jumping off of a cliff]] just to snap him out of it.
