Tear Jerker / Yogscast Minecraft Series

Go To

  • Days 3 and 4 of the Advent Calendar have Israphel destroying Simon's Santa grotto and the Christmas tree blowing up.
  • Happy Valentine's day.
  • The Minecraft Christmas song has a moment or two, about a guy who lost his job, isn't able to meet up with his friends and isn't talking to his parents as he thinks they don't like him. This trope then gets Played for Laughs when his Snow Golem melts.
    • Of course, this all turns into happy tears by the last verse and chorus. His dad texts him to wish him Merry Christmas and proves he does love him after all, and then his friends reveal they've just been waiting for him to come along.
  • In "Sjin's Farm", Abel losing his parents to Strawfingers.
  • The destruction of Duncan's castle at the end of the apprentice and the start of Galacticraft is downplayed, but still hits quite hard for those who've seen Duncan's tekkit series. The castle was second only to Sjin's farm in scale, and had even more valuable resources and advanced machines inside it, after all the work Duncan put in, and then it is completely ruined in an instant
    • Later on, Duncan finds the tainted ruin of the castle, and considers reclaiming it for a while, before deciding that it's time to move on. He and Kim then give the castle a proper send off, blowing it up with waves of missiles from Panda labs. YMMV on whether this is a consolation for the original loss, or another tear jerker in it's own right.
  • The aftermath of the accidental destruction of the Jaffa Factory in Jaffaquest 106. It hits even harder because the ending of the previous episode was hilarious. It's very sobering to tune in and see the amount of devastation that occurred.
    • Simon's Suddenly Shouting and ordering Lewis and Duncan to pack up everything only highlights just how hard he'd been hit by the mistake.
  • Will's complete Freak Out in Blood and Chaos was mostly Played for Laughs, but anybody who's actually had a panic attack can empathise with the scene just a bit too much.
  • In episode 17 of Flux Buddies Kim and Duncan continue their raid on the Dwarven base, which they deemed evil due to all the stereotypical tells (rooms made of Netherack, lava, darkness, etc). Except when they open the chests, expecting to find great loot just like in the previous dungeon... all they find are food supplies. Meanwhile the dwarves are chatting and hanging around and only attack when provoked. The two of them spend the rest of the raid guilt tripping.
    • In Episode 25 of Flux Buddies, Duncan and Kim are trying to move their cat, Tiddles II, into a new home, and they do so by using Nether Portals. They land in a house, and Duncan can only watch as Tiddles II walks off the platform and falls into the lava, dying instantly. The fact that Kim chews Duncan out for it only makes it worse.
  • While the war against HAT films at the conclusion of Flux Buddies is a crowning moment of awesome more than anything, and Kim and Duncan consider it a victory, Panda Labs is completely demolished, first by railgun fire and then by rejuvenation missiles. Seeing Kim and Duncan's home destroyed yet again is a sad moment, and drives home that this is the end.
  • Lying In Bed Mon's 14th episode for Witch in the Woods is equal parts Tear Jerker and Nightmare Fuel. Tear Jerker because Lying is trapped in the well for centuries by somebody he considered, if not a friend then at least a friendly rival. Nightmare Fuel because he's going to start cannibalising the versions of himself in countless other universes in order to survive.
    "Can I ask you something? Do you... know what betrayal feels like?"
  • Kirin Dave really misses PaprikaSu. (Made worse if you know that she's currently being held somewhere against her will).
  • Crossing over with Nightmare Fuel at the same time, Episode 55 of Flux Buddies 2.0 features all of their beloved Chocobos being brutally murdered by the mysterious Duncan clone from a few episodes back.
  • Episode 80 has the secret Cloning Lab, again crossing over with Nightmare fuel, given that it has several flawed copies of Kim contained in it. the Tearjerker, though, is how upset and unsettled Kim is by the entire thing, and not even using the SPAMR launcher to destroy the room seems to help.
