History TearJerker / Other

* The [[http://www.hsus.org/web-files/Miscellaneous/restricted/1995x1384_opus_final.jpg final panel of]] ''[[BloomCounty Opus]]''. G-goodnight, Opus...you will be missed...* sob*

** The final moment of Outland, Opus with his mother, finally always makes me bawl.
** The end of Bloom County, with all the characters going off and ending an amazing friendship, then Opus going to the other Side of the tracks...just thinking about it is making me misty eyed.
* Of all things, PearlsBeforeSwine. YourMileageMayVary on this one. [[http://assets.comics.com/dyn/str_strip/000000000/00000000/0000000/100000/20000/6000/300/126367/126367.full.gif 2003 Memorial Day strip]].

** Here it is, Red & Rover: http://www.gocomics.com/redandrover/2003/03/16/
* {{Candorville}}: Roxanne has been hateful, spiteful, and generally overbearing. Then...[[http://candorville.com/2007/09/15/18years/ the last panel]].
* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_Better_or_For_Worse#Farley.27s_death The For Better or For Worse]] strip where Farley died.

* This troper was crying by the end of t[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Um9KsrH377A&feature=player_embedded this Thai Pantene ad.]] it definitely doubles as a CrowningMomentOfHeartWarming, too.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHkABO0VwCg The finish to the Piano East High School/John Tyler Texas high school football game in 1994]] John Tyler had [[CurbStompBattle decimated]] Piano East throughout the game and with 3:00 left in the fourth quarter, led 41-17. [[spoiler:[[BeyondTheImpossible Then Piano East began a miraculous comeback in which they scored four touchdowns, recovered three onside kicks and somehow managed to take the lead, 44-41, with just seconds left in the game.]] Then on the ensuing kickoff following the go-ahead score, the John Tyler returner ran the ball back for a touchdown, nullifying the incredible comeback.]]

* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_Better_or_For_Worse#Farley.27s_death This]].

* Part 6 of ''Seven Ages Of Rock'', which focuses on American alternative rock such as {{REM}} and {{Nirvana}}. It mentions KurtCobain's life, and in a couple of his interviews, he sounded kind of sad. You can't blame him; he's been through a spiraling depression that not even good friend MichaelStipe can get him out of.

** AdventuresInOdyssey really is good at TearJerkers. Another one that comes to mind is [[spoiler:Mitch's "death"]] in "Plan B", as well as the scene where Mitch and Connie [[spoiler:decide that they really aren't mature enough to get married and call their wedding off... the night before they were supposed to get married]]. Another would be Katrina's father's [[spoiler: death, and how Katrina and Eugene were married quietly by his bedside, because he was too sick to leave the hospital.]]

where [[spoiler: Leto meets his father.]]

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ktw4J8kg3SE This old Christmas ad]] for Miller High Life.

'''Jordan:''' Goodbye, Mars. (hangs up)\\

* Continuing from the Michael Jordan example above, this Troper remembers a commercial that Nike aired in the final month of Jordan's career. Remember good 'ol Mars Blackmon from the Air Jordan commercials? Cut back to almost 20 years later, Mars is on the phone with Jordan, still in shock over Jordan's retirement. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8HMlN3dtF8 it caused many tears to flow for this Troper,]] it was basically Michael Jordan's last Air Jordan commercial, and quite possibly the last time we'd see Mars Blackmon. It manages to be [[CrowningMomentofFunny heartbreaking and hilarious at the same time.]]

** Ditto for this troper. The lethal combination of Sarah [=McLachlan=] ballads and helpless, abused animals breaks her heart--not to mention makes her feel terribly guilty for not having any money to donate. (Really says something about the effectiveness of the campaign, though.)

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1Xh-tZrzwk&playnext_from=TL&videos=rsyyiMwcCTQ This. Damn. Commercial.]] Natalie Merchant's ''My Skin'' is, in this troper's opinion, far more lethal to hearts than Sarah McLachlan. The captions don't help any. "What did I do wrong?... Why did they hurt me?... Why did they abandon me?... Will I ''die'' today?"

* [[http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Theater/9876/raccoon.html This story]] from ''CalvinAndHobbes'' has Calvin trying to save an injured baby raccoon. He doesn't succeed.
