History TearJerker / RobotChicken

'''As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked [[Administrivia/SpoilersOff as per policy.]] Administrivia/YouHaveBeenWarned.'''

* "Sonic Runs from Depression": There's nothing funny about this sketch at all. In fact, the implication is downright haunting, that [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]] has to run because mental illness is chasing him. The fact it ends with the actual phone number to the national suicide hotline makes it clear someone on staff lost someone to their battle and they don't want anyone else to take that way out.

* The Turbo Teen sketch is mainly [[NightmareFuel/RobotChicken Nightmare Fuel]], with Brett incurring serious damage in car form which results in him turning back to human form with his [[AnArmAndALeg arms, legs]], and [[EyeScream eyes]] gone, and presumably every bone in his body broken along with multiple organ failure, but it's downright pitiable to see him helplessly screaming and crying in pain and despair to the point that you're relieved when he gets promptly [[MercyKill sandwiched between the car crushers]].

* "Some Like It Hitman", "[[https://youtu.be/0LsBxS2nnu0 Duck Duck Party]]": The ending to the sketch reveals that this happened to [[WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts Huey, Dewey and Louie]]'s mother, with them asking their Uncle Donald when they can see her again.

* "A Grouchy Start" gives us the REAL reason [[Series/SesameStreet Oscar's]] always so grouchy. When he was just a kid, he witnessed his [[CoolBigSis cool older brother]] get killed by an ignorant garbage man who tossed him into the compactor of a garbage truck where he was crushed to death.

* The Turbo Teen sketch is mainly [[Write a story set in a world inhabited entirely by Pokémon. Mars, a 30-year-old Flaaffy who is a notorious thief, is caught and brought before Queen Vespiquen. Mars is punished by being inflated, his body becoming a huge, round, floating blimp. As he slowly floats through the air, he is forced to let out a fart. Being so huge and filled with gas means he can't hold in his farts. Nightmare Fuel]], with Brett incurring serious damage in car form which results in him turning back to human form with his [[AnArmAndALeg arms, legs]], and [[EyeScream eyes]] gone, and presumably every bone in his body broken along with multiple organ failure, but it's downright pitiable to see him helplessly screaming and crying in pain and despair to the point that you're relieved when he gets promptly [[MercyKill sandwiched between the car crushers]].

* A fake follow-up to ''Attack of the Clones'' shows Boba Fett utterly failing to move on from Jango Fett's death. As aired, the sketch begins with Boba playing catch with "Dad", but after he throws the ball, the camera pans to Jango's empty helmet and mitt lying on the ground.

'''Joker''': ''(sobbing)'' Nooo…

* "Kramer vs. Showgirls": The sketch based on ''Franchise/ToyStory'' in which Andy uses Buzz's head for a bong, effectively lobotomizing him. That night, Woody decides to put Buzz [[MercyKill out of his misery]] with a VorpalPillow a la ''Film/OneFlewOverTheCuckoosNest''.

* "The Sad Fate of Soundwave", when Soundwave hides incognito in a laboratory as a now outdated boom box, the oblivious scientists mock it and rip apart the cassette inside, in fact Rumble. Soundwave's reaction (helped by being voiced by original actor Creator/FrankWelker) just sounds so heartbreakingly pitiful.

* "Sonic Runs from Depression." There's nothing funny about this sketch at all. In fact the implication is downright haunting, that Sonic has to run because mental illness is chasing him.

* In the third DC special, Batman complains how Superman can get whoever he loses back by going really fast and reversing time. Superman informs him that Batman can do it too but he has to believe. Cue Batman running as fast as he can, screaming "I'm coming mommy!". Superman was lying of course, just pranking Batman.

* "They took My Thumbs", "[[https://youtu.be/d0PTa7lnOWs The Train Man]]": The entire sketch is really heartbreaking, while also being absurd. A man gets stuck between the subway platform and the train. Unable to be safely extracted, he is forced to spend his entire life there and uses all of that time to focus on work. Only at the end of his life does he realize he should have spent that time with his family. He dies alone and the train finally bisects his now lifeless body, while the rest of society moves on.

* "Malcolm X: Fully Loaded:" "The Last Pizza", where a girl sees her grandfather make his last pizza before the palace closes down, only to see it get dropped, run over, smeared and crapped on by hoboes. The grandfather died not long after.
