History TearJerker / WanderOverYonder

* In "The Pet", [[spoiler: Sylvia thinking that Wander's been killed by the alien.]]

** More specifically, he fakes a phone call to Sylvia and tells Wander she told him she never liked him and wasn't coming back for him (while it's doubtful that Wander actually believes this, he's deeply affected by the mere ''idea)''. He swiftly follows this up by pretending to be sorry for being an "insensitive jerk" and telling Wander he'll give up his evil ways…''if'' Wander comes over and gives him a hug (which he can't, because he's stopping the hole with one arm). Finally he makes Wander question who he is if he can't live up to his name anymore: "You're just a [[TitleDrop whole lot of nothing]]." It's startling because it's so far removed from Hater's usual cartoony mission of "[[NeverSayDie destroying]]" Wander--it's much more cold-blooded and personal. He doesn't want to kill Wander, he wants to [[BreakTheCutie break him]].

---> '''Hater:''' ...I'm having second thoughts. ''(beat)'' [[BaitAndSwitchComment Instead of deleting these, could you just crop yourself out of 'em?]] Cool. Well, goodbye forever!
* The ending of "The Wanders" teaches us something about Wander. [[spoiler:"The helper seeks to help, because he knows what it is to be helpless." And Incomplete!Wander visibly recoils when Sylvia tries to re-merge him with Helpless!Wander. He also seems to be VERY insistent on leaving without the last Wander and claims that he's "better off without him". Just what exactly happened to him that made him fear feeling helpless so much?]]
** Another, more subtle moment in "The Wanders". When Sylvia refuses to merge Contrary!Wander, all the Wanders in the cave are visibly distraught. You can tell that they're upset that their best friend doesn't accept them for who they are.

* A minor one but in "The Boy Wander" we have [[spoiler: Wander getting beaten up by Screwball during the latter VillainSong]]

* Wander in 'The Helper', trying SO hard to make people happy, and being the biggest example of 'Don't set yourself on fire to keep others warm'

* In "The Waste of Time", [[Old!Wander and Old!Sylvia spending 50 years on the same planet, and eventually disappearing after they prevent Wander from getting the Time Orbbles which led to the events of the episode happening in the first place.]]

* When Wander has to [[spoiler: let Lord Hater go away from him and Sylvia]] in "The Fremergency Fronfact", the entire sequence is heartbreakly gut-wrenching...especially if you had to deal with this exact scenario before.

---> '''Hater:''' Delete that. Delete that. Delete that. Delete that. Delete that. Delete that. Delete--Actually, no. ...These memories. We've been through a lot together, haven't we?

** More specifically, he fakes a phone call to Sylvia and promptly tells Wander she told him she never liked him and wasn't coming back for him (while it's doubtful that Wander actually believes this, he seems deeply affected by the mere ''idea)''. He swiftly follows this up by pretending to be sorry for being an "insensitive jerk" and telling Wander he'll reform and give up his evil ways…''if'' Wander comes over and gives him a hug (which he can't, because he's stopping the hole with one arm). Finally he makes Wander question who he is if he can't live up to his name: "You're just a [[TitleDrop whole lot of nothing]]."

** Hater takes ComedicSociopathy to the next level when he forces Peepers to delete all the photos of them together from his computer system. Funny in kind of a tragic way.

** Hater takes ComedicSociopathy to the next level when he asks for Peepers' help to erase him from the computer system and makes him delete all the photos of them together. Funny in kind of a tragic way.

---> '''Peepers:'' ''(hesitating hopefully)'' Yes, sir. We sure have.

Well, goodbye forever!

* Huckleberry Knucklehead running off crying after hearing [[Main/DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Wander and Sylvia arguing]] in "The Toddler" can be a little gut-wrenching...especially when you realize that he was voiced by an actual toddler (Creator/LaurenFaust's nephew, to be exact).

* The way Hater keeps trying to KickTheDog in "The Hole...Lotta Nothin'", being way more of an asshole to Wander than usual, and almost driving poor Wander to tears. Luckily, karma gives the skeleton a huge shot to the chops at the end.

---> [[spoiler: '''Beep-Boop:''' I...am......Beep......Boop.]]

->"''My Fair Hatey, don't you give up''
->''It's not a total disaster''
->''Hey, we gave it a go''
->''Put on a heck of a show''
->''And we did some fun things that we can laugh about after.''"

* Meta example: [[http://crackmccraigen.tumblr.com/post/140529754374/wander-over-yonder-over The confirmation that the show will not be getting a third season.]] Unlike, say, ''[[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls]]'', the show isn't ending on its own terms, but because the higher ups think "80 episodes and 2 seasons were enough", even though the creators had many ideas for a third season.

* "My Fair Hatey" wherein Dominator basically crushes both Hater and Wander's spirit. First via by laughing at Hater's misunderstanding right in his face, then via her VillainSong wherein she explains that she's "the bad guy". What makes this even more heartbreaking is the fact that this whole episode started with Hater actually asking Wander for help in his attempt to woo her, something that they both genuinely bonded over.

* [[spoiler:Beep-Boop's HeroicSacrifice]] in "The Bot".

* "The Show Stopper", the bunny people are the first species that Wander failed to save from Dominator's rampage of destruction, due to him being distracted by Hater's rock show throughout the while episode.
