Tear Jerker / Meme House

• Bogan's sudden death at the hands of Madeline in Part 7 is shockingly heartwrenching, to the point where even Joel was broken by it.
  Joel: ""Bulk Bogan is truly gone after Dio's ardent appeal fell on Death's deaf- Death's deaf ears?" No... No no no NOOO! NOOOOOOO!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Please! "Someone has already pleaded to the Grim Reaper recently." No!"
• Garfield calls Bogan's phone to hang out after his soul is reaped to see if it will somehow glitch him back to life. The response?
  "Bulk is sleeping."
• Pepsiman is completely distraught over Fren's almost immediate death and calls out to him as he's being butchered before mourning his death.
  • CBT Wizard also does this as he witnesses Nemesis butchering Layne Hartman. Although his death is more Played for Laughs rather than a tearjerker.
• Funky Kong's sudden death in Part 9. He walks outside of his home before being run over by a car out of nowhere, shocking Joel and the chat, causing him to let out a Rapid-Fire "No!". Bonzi leaves from work early to plead with the Reaper, which seems to succeed at first, but doesn't. Thankfully, Funky came back as a ghost and Bonzi used his magic to revive him later on.
• Dio being harassed and then brutally beaten up by two Sims at the climax of Episode 10. Doubles up as a moment of funny for how it comes out of left field, and an awesome moment in how Dio quickly recovers to take the both of them out, but afterwards it’s quite clear he’s been messed up quite a bit by it, as evidenced by his emotions changing to ‘Very Sad’. Given that in this series, Dio tends to be quite sentimental and tearful at the most unexpected times, considering what just happened makes this moment a bit more heartbreaking.
• Part 11, the intended first season finale, opened with a bang as Jill and Nemesis tried for a baby. Immediately after, Nemesis was run over by a taxi and killed before Joel could plead for him, and Jill was revealed to be pregnant shortly after. Jill and Wesker's "Very Sad" moodlets reflected Joel and the chat's sadness over the matter, especially since Joel revealed his original plan was for them to marry.
  • Despite a 90% success rate for fixing a gunshot wound and an attempt to become a vampire, Spongebob failed to be cured, and his roommates and ghosts mourned him. He dropped dead right in front of Johnny Zest's house, and Wesker's pleas fell on deaf ears. Making it worse is that Spongebob took the bullet for Wesker.
  • When Jill's baby was finally born in part 11, it was taken away immediately. This and the previous events were so distressing that when the save file was accidentally reset, Joel declared it a noncanon What If? episode and said the real finale would take place another day.
• Johnny finally breaking down in Part 12. The combined stress of having a wedding forcibly taking place at his house, a majority of the guests there being people who tormented him and having to shoot an armed burglar in self-defense causes him to snap, donning clown makeup and dying his hair to become Dark Johnny then going on a crotch-kicking rampage, which does not exclude his best friend Twitch Chat.
  • The rampage ends when he finds himself unable to confront Bulk, arguably the sim Johnny loathes the most, because Bulk is too strong. Johnny starts sobbing, and Joel adds that by the end of it Johnny feels regret for his actions.
• Nathan (one of the two cops who frequently appeared) dies from one of the demons DoomGuy battles in Part 12. It's a very sudden and out of the way death of a minor character but gets sad when remembering that he's been there for several classic moments. That and his buddy will now be alone...
  • While Nick McLaughlin shows up many times throughout the second season, he is never once seen wearing his police uniform; seemingly implying he was sufficiently distraught at the death of his longtime partner that he ended up quitting the police force entirely.
• DoomGuy dying undeservingly at the hands of Vibe Check.
• The fact that Johnny Zest seems to have lost it enough to become a full on villain and attack random people can be seen as this.
• Twitch screaming at everybody to run and warning them that Johnny Zest is a killer in Part 18 actually hurts a lot considering how Twitch was one of the very few people who was friendly towards Johnny.
• Johnny punching Funky Kong in Part 21 is actually kind of upsetting since he was the first person to be openly nice to him. In fact, everyone in that current scene were trying to be nice to Johnny.
• Funky Kong initially dying after Bonzi possessed him due to how nice and innocent he's been for the whole series. Blink-and-You-Miss-It but it even looks like Kira is upset over him, and an orange butterfly passes through the scene as the camera pans up from his body.
• Even though he's most likely going off to live in a better place, seeing Funky leave the main household is strangely sad. Especially with his actually nice goodbye with Bulk.
