** After they're forced from their home in the first movie and Gomez slips into a lethargic depression, the normally humorous BaitAndSwitch gag formula that's proven itself for laughs so far is used to heartbreaking effect.

* The very first lines in the first film as FridgeHorror sets in. The family has been holding a seance for Fester every year for 25 years in hopes of contacting him. A seance is usually invoked to summon the spirit of someone who is ''dead''. When Gomez laments, "And, for 25 years... nothing. I'm beginning to think my brother truly is lost." He was more comforted with the idea that Fester was dead versus being cut off from him forever.

* As infamously terrible and cheesy as ''Addams Family Reunion'' was, it does manage to throw in a surprisingly heart-wrenching scene where Gomez actually breaks down in tears over his parents becoming "normal". Helps that Creator/TimCurry, a ''very'' good actor in his own right, decided apparently to [[TookTheBadFilmSeriously take the bad film seriously]].

* The Addamses being forced to move out of their home. Each member looks absolutely ''dejected'' as they are seen packing up their belongs into the family car. Even Gomez, who played the AFoolForAClient card in court to fight the restraining order, suffers a HeroicBSOD that he takes a good while to recover from as a result of the loss (quite jarring when you remember the Gomez of the series happily shrugging off such losses). Further, as the car pulls away from the house, you can hear Fester -- who's been watching them from a window this whole time -- crying in the distance.

* Uncle Fester being sad when he's forced to speak in rhymes during "Cleopatra, Green of the Nile". The rhyming downplays it, though.
* In "Death Visits the Addams Family", the GrimReaper comes for Gomez and everyone else is rightly shocked (if still stoic) that Gomez might die. [[spoiler: Thankfully, he doesn't die. He probably owes it all to being an Addams.]]

* In "Cousin Itt and the Vocational Counsellor", Morticia and Gomez are pretending that they are a bickering couple and Cousin Itt is their counsellor. This is funny up until [[MoodWhiplash Morticia thinks Gomez really meant one of his lines and starts crying.]] Even worse is that that night, she won't even let him sleep in his own bed so he sleeps on the couch instead.

** And also Morticia. She is Gomez's wife and is head-over-heels for him and then he gets amnesia and not only doesn't know who she is, he's outright rude, accusing her and the others of trying to kill him, wanting to chop down Cleopatra (which the whole family considers murder), and wanting her to stop wearing black (which is a major offence if you're Morticia.)
