* The "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qamCu-w7rsc Clown in the Sky]]" song from the closing host segment for ''Pod People'' is really quite melancholy (aside from Joel getting angry at Tom Servo's Anthony Newley impression, and the Mads' reaction of "It stinks!").

* In the final episode ("Danger: Diabolik"), while using a joystick to control the SOL, Pearl accidentally breaks the control and sends the Satellite of Love spiraling down to earth. Realizing that all of her experiments have failed, and there's no way to continue, she has a massive VillainousBreakdown, throwing her rage around the castle. When we cut back to her, her mascara has streaked down her face in tears, and the actress playing her really does look like she's upset about the series ending.

* Servo, playing with his bow and arrow, accidentally shoots a baby satellite. Despite the silliness of the sketch's premise, Servo's dialogue and acting are an extremely realistic depiction of a child's regret and sorrow after making such a mistake. The satellite ''somehow'' manages to be a RidiculouslyCuteCritter despite being nothing more than an object, and its mother coming to reclaim it is a majestic [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Heartwarming Moment]].

* There's something oddly sad about the show's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Olt4BVB4zY closing theme]]. It's a slower-paced version with an emphasis on regal-sounding brass, as though it's some sort of wedding or funeral procession, until about halfway through when the rest of the "ensemble" kicks in with a nearly heavenly sound before closing with the familiar "twang" of the original theme. Especialy if you're a fan of the show, it's likely to bring a tear to your eye.

* Basically, any time Joel, Mike and the bots come close to being utterly ''broken'' by a film. Examples include ''Manos'', ''Hobgoblins'', ''Red Zone Cuba'', ''Invasion of the Neptune Men'', and the most severe example of the film nearly breaking them, ''Castle of Fu Manchu''.

* The short "Film/CatchingTrouble", about a man named Ross who hunts down and captures wild animals for zoos and to sell as exotic pets. Seeing the animals crying out in fear as Ross manhandles them, throws them into sacks, and drags them away from their homes is really heart-wrenching, even with riffing.

** The final shot of Mike, Crow and Servo riffing a bad movie, this time at home, with no one forcing them to. StockholmSyndrome? Maybe, but WordOfGod said that they were simply emulating what ''everyone'' does during a bad movie. And of course, realizing it's over, for good.
