** On the show's closing night, Ethan Slater ([=SpongeBob=]) ''[[OOCIsSeriousBusiness actually started to cry]]'' as the song started. The whole audience then proceeded to cry. The whole scene was so sad, the orchestra had to pause the song so that everyone can continue to flood their waterworks. The crew were able to continue and get through to the end, but still. Everyone did ''not'' want the show to end.

A good change for both sides of the party, really.[[/note]]

* As the song, "Best Day Ever," comes to a close, the citizens of Bikini Bottom join hands and sing a slower, melancholic rendition of the song, bracing for their likely demise by finally coming together as a community for their possibly final moments. To add to the TearJerker, Mr. Krabs sadly looks at Pearl and steps in closer to her to be with his daughter during the last few seconds of their lives, proving once and for all that he loves her more than anything else (even money).

* [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick's DistantDuet, "(I Guess I) Miss You", is by far the most melancholic song in the show. As Patrick grows tired of the endless worship from his sardine followers, he begins yearning for his best pal and immediately regrets leaving him behind in exchange for attention; meanwhile, [=SpongeBob=] is on Mount Humongous thinking the exact same thing. Pair this with John Legend's usual TearJerker lyrics and emotional piano/violin accompaniment, and you've got one heck of a heartbreaker.
