5* Voice of Reason has admitted to getting teary-eyed after Twilight Sparkle delivers her climatic speech in episode 2 of [[WebVideo/MyLittlePonyCamaraderieIsSupernatural Camaraderie is Supernatural]] during his review of the series.
6* [[https://youtu.be/T7MpIoUOxow While fictional, Dr. Wolf's]] OriginsEpisode contains a few. The stand out so far being Dr. Wolf's family disappearing during the massive blizzard he grew up in. While he can't remember it clearly, the image of them vanishing one by one is just heartwrenching.
7* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tZ533ITVI0 The Dr. Wolf session with Lightning Bliss about why we create and the struggles of being pressured by angry fans and fellow peers.]] Yes it's scripted, but Bliss [[BreakTheCutie breaks down crying]] ''twice''.
8* During "Flight of Blight", after the other analysts attempts to stop Blight [[CurbstompBattle completely fails]], Dr. Wolf tells everyone to retreat as Thunder Blight picks up her attacks. His expression makes it clear that having to fall back when Blight is close to ''killing'' Bliss is ''not'' something he's happy he's doing.
9* Golden Fox and [=Keyframe=]'s review of "Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?", where the plot follows Golden Fox suffering from sleep issues that is revealed to have been caused by his guilt and anxiety over [[OnceDoneNeverForgotten his behavior]] [[CausticCritic and actions in Season 4]], resulting with Golden enduring a [[HeroicBSOD breakdown over the past events]] as well as [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech calling out the episode's detractors (in other words, half of the Analysis Community and fanbase)]] over missing the point of the episode, especially when Golden points out [[RealitySubtext he connects to what Luna was doing and why she was tormenting herself over her guilt]], becoming incredibly frustrated as a result.
10--> '''Golden Fox''': Many people took the context of the moral and blew it into such ridiculous hyperbole it actually hurts. I'll come out and say that I love the episode's moral because I can connect with having regretful past actions and it's true that you have to forgive yourself. It's been a challenge for me as well as many others, even with some anxiety. But when something as important as a message gets blown out of context, that's where it draws the line and it personally pisses me off. I've been judged, I've been pushed around since childhood, and it doesn't help when morals that I've taken into account - ''urgh!'' - are ruined by someone else's judgement that it forces me into a severe condition that I have to question the meaning of myself! '''[[SanitySlippage AAAH! WHY MUST I BE AGGRESSIVE OVER EVERYTHING?! WHY MUST I DEAL WITH DEFEAT BY JUDGEMENT?! WHY CAN'T I BE WHAT I CHOOSE TO BE?! WHY DO I HAVE TO PUT WITH THIS WORLD?! WHO AM I SUPPOSED TO BE?! WHY DO I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS AT ONCE!? MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP!!]]'''
11** Key witnessing Golden being attacked by his own version of the Tantabus, with it '''even cutting his body'''. That's not even touching on when said Tantabus splits itself from Golden, it throws him on the ground beaten and bruised and crying.
12--> '''Golden Fox''': G-Get away... ([=Keyframe=] approaches him gently before he pushes her away from him) '''GET AWAY!''' (panting and trembling)..I'M NOT GOOD ENOUGH! (turns away from [=Keyframe=])..THEY'LL NEVER FORGIVE ME!
13** While a moment of Heartwarming with Key telling Golden he was [[YouAreNotAlone never alone]], Golden still absorbs his Tantabus (to mirror Luna absorbing her own Tantabus) and breaks down into Key's arms, [[TheWoobie considering even though he knows people forgive him, he struggles to forgive himself]]
14* Lightning Bliss' review of the ''WesternAnimation/RainbowBrite'' reboot. By the end of the review, she gets so broken she transforms into Thunder Blight and she is left crying by the end of it. Yes, it drove ''Thunder Blight'' to tears!
15* "Return of Thunder Bright" ''really'' shows what the [[WhatCouldHaveBeen original script]] would have been. Part 3 however is ''heartbreaking'' by showing Blight stealing Golden's colors and making him a selfish JerkAss who doesn't ''care for Keyframe'' and then removing Key's colors and making her unsure and not confident of herself. The fact Golden acts ''[[LackOfEmpathy he doesn't care anymore about anything or even Keyframe]]'' and, ''if you knew about the abuse Keyframe was receiving '''from her own parents''' back at her original house'', it makes it all the more saddening to watch.
16* Zaid sounds genuinely upset at certain points during his video breaking down how the Grogar twist in the finale of "Friendship is Magic" trashed Discord's character development, especially when he showed clips from the Season 4 finale where Discord was giving Twilight the medallion that was given to him by Tirek.
17-->'''Zaid Magenta:''' As it stands, this is literally how they decided to end Discord's character arc in the show: betraying his friends, manipulating them, planning an attack on them, committing dozens of severe crimes in between, and it all just makes him look like a horrible, awful person! This is not the Discord that I grew to love in episodes like "Dungeons and Discords", "The Best Gift Ever", "The Break-Up Breakdown", "Discordant Harmony" or "To Where and Back Again". This is a completely different character with no believable personality or motivation, a Discord that just causes problems without thinking things through, and not owning up for any of the mess he made! No matter how you look at it, no matter how you slice it, no matter what they might have been trying to do with Discord's character with this poorly thought-out twist, it's a complete disrespect to how he was built up throughout the series! It's a straight-up insult to everyone who is a fan of his character, and it's just bullshit!
