Work
"Sad quote that's much less sad out of context."
- Example for every single character death, including the unsympathetic villain and the death that was obviously a joke.
- Badly-indented bullet point describing the characters' reaction to the death.
- Extra Fridge Horror about how the death might affect some other characters who weren't there to see it.
- Character's death. The position of the spoiler tag makes it obvious that it's about the character dying, not that spoilers are allowed on moments pages anyway.
- Example about that time your favorite character was slightly unhappy.
- Example for the sad moment of the work, usually a major Character Death.
- Unnecessary detail regarding the scene.
- Another unnecessary detail regarding the scene.
- Sub-bullet about the dialogue in the scene.
- Sub-bullet about the scene’s soundtrack.
- Sub-bullet about how the other characters react.
- Sub-bullet about the acting.
- Fridge Horror regarding the scene.
- Meta stuff that makes the scene sadder.
- Example calling you a black-hearted monster if you didn't cry while watching it.
- Example which tells you that if Moment A of some scene doesn't make you bawl, then the following Moment B certainly will.
- Example which simply cannot be articulated. This moment was... gah! Just... gah!
- Example that would fit better on Heartwarming Moments, but is listed here because This Troper cried Tears of Joy when it happened.
- A spoilered example, even though Spoilers Off is in effect.
- "Quote without context"
- Example mentioning that it brought This Troper, his mom, and his cat to tears!
- An example also listed in Heartwarming.Work Name.
Meta
- Gushy meta-example about the show being canceled after 27 seasons.
- Example about some real person involved with the work passing away or going through hard times. Totally doesn't count as a Real Life example.
- Meta-example claiming that it's sad people are stupid enough to like or have made this show.
- Meta-example about how it's sad that some people don't like the show; surely the creators must be heartbroken seeing bad things being said about something they put so much effort into.

- Meta-example about the work not doing well critically and/or commercially.
- Long list of every single death of anyone related to the work.
