* "Prom-Ise Her Anything": Montana Max telling off Elmyra at the dance:

Tearjerkers in ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures''.

* The ''infamous'' DownerEnding to "Out of Odor": after spending the whole cartoon being chased by Elmyra, Fifi ends up being caught by her. Naturally, she whips out her tail, hoping her trusty SmellySkunk status will save her from Elmyra's infamously rough "loving"... except that Elmyra's allergic to roses, specifically the ones from the rose parade float she's driving, so she's immune to Fifi's stench. A happy Elmyra promptly drags Fifi off to her home. That's it, the end. The ''most'' fan-loved character loses to the ''least'' fan-loved character, in a classic TheBadGuyWins cartoon ending. It only gets worse if you're aware that the writers actually didn't like Fifi very much, so they enjoyed putting her through the wringer.

** Furrball and the ribbon in ''Strung-Along Kitty''.
** The biggest one for this troper: it was about a family of fleas that got separated. The son, Fliorello, ends in Furrball's hair. Knowing his situation of lost -probably forever- from his family, he starts singing a sad song about his situation. At first, Furrball doesn't like the idea of being invaded by a flea, but little by little, Fliorello starts winning him over, so Furrball accepts to let him live in his body... and dang it, just remembering this, this troper started feeling something in the eye...
** Heck, ''most'' Furrball centered episodes tended to be downers, given the poor little guy's miserable lot in life.

** This is even worse when you realize the same thing will happen to the Tiny Toons, due to them being forgotten over time. Someone actually did a fanfic of this...it was depressing.

** The next day, however, Buster finds the kite and easily repairs it, [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming allowing the moth to happily fly with it again]].

** The biggest one for this troper: it was about a family of fleas that got separated. The son, Flio, ends in Furrball's hair. Knowing his situation of lost -probably forever- from his family, he starts singing a song about his situation.

** Near the end of the episode, Buster returns to the cave where he found Rover's egg. When Rover roars, he opens a door leading to a prehistoric paradise where his brothers and sisters live. Wanting to protect Rover from Montana Max, Buster tells Rover that's where he belongs. Rover wants to stay with Buster, but Buster tells him that if he does, Monty will hunt him for the rest of his life. Afterwards, the two say good-bye to each other.

* In "[[WonderfulLifePlot It's a Wonderful Tiny Toons Christmas Special]]", a depressed Buster was contemplating suicide by tossing himself off the film reel. All because he felt he made a mess of things. Then when the mysterious White Rabbit showed him a Tiny Toons where he never existed...

* In "It's a Wonderful Cartoon Show", a depressed Buster was contemplating suicide by tossing himself off the film reel. All because he felt he made a mess of things. Then when the mysterious White Rabbit showed him a Tiny Toons where he never existed...

* [[DownerEnding The ending to]] "Out of Odor".

** It was bad enough that Acme Acres had gotten taken over by Montana Max, but the show itself was taken over by Plucky, who basically made it nothing more than [[ItsAllAboutMe shameless self-promoting]]. He made all the rest of the cast his personal [[ButtMonkey butt monkeys]], going especially hard on Babs. Plucky had always been a {{Jerkass}}, but he TookALevelInJerkass with the way he sadistically victimizes Babs every few seconds for no reason other than his own amusement, completely unprovoked. The sad thing is that Babs had none of her spunky bravado and was completely submissive about the abuse she goes through.

* Cartoon voice actor Joe Alaskey (who voiced Plucky Duck) passed away on February 4th, 2016 from Cancer.
