History TearJerker / MarleyAndMe

** Carrot Top has on several occasions done a joke where he is on an airplane and they say the in-flight movie is ''MarleyAndMe''. Carrot Top says "[[AnythingButThat No! not that!]]" and by the end of the movie, almost the entire plane is in tears.

* Jenny's miscarriage. They come home from the doctor's office all somber and subdued and the heretofore rambunctious Marley simply quietly rests his head in Jenny's lap. The book takes the scene even further than in the movie, with John joining her on the couch and the two of them sobbing as Marley sits there with them.

--> '''John:''' "You know all that stuff we've always said about you?" ''I whispered'' "What a total pain you are? Don't believe it. Don't believe it for a minute, Marley." ''He needed to know that, and something more too. There was something I had never told him, that no one ever had. I wanted him to hear it before he went.'' "Marley," ''I said,'' "You are a ''great'' dog."

* The end of the book wherein it's described that Marley had to be put to sleep because they couldn't really do anything. This was also made pretty bad in TheMovie too. It's probably one of the ''most triumphant examples'' of a TearJerker in the 20th-21st century because of ''how close to home'' it hits, since people are much more likely to experience the death of a pet in their lifespans; even children. Very reminiscent of ''Film/OldYeller'' without [[ShootTheDog shooting the dog]]

** The Ending montage of Jenny sitting there in the living room, the oldest son, Patrick, watching home videos with Marley, he really was the only old enough to fully grasp what was happening, and John with Marley at the vet's. The vet assures him before proceeding "He won't feel a thing, he'll just slip away". Marley's eye drift close, and the movie ends with a ''funeral'' where Jenny places the necklace that Marley ate at the beginning movie in the grave with Marley, and says [[CallBack "Goodbye, Clearance Puppy"]]

*** Not so much that the dog died, but that it succumbs to freaking ''hip dysplasia'', unable to run, climb stairs, and has difficulty even standing. And yet insists upon following his master from room to room despite this. Watching the wild, energetic dog slowly wind down to a dull-toothed, deaf, and hobbling animal is heart-numbingly sad.
*** This above. I was crying at the point where Marley was struggling up the hill alongside John, and they just sit together and John basically pleads with Marley to tell him when he's ready to pass on, because he loves his dog and he doesn't want to see him in pain.
