Don't worry, I'm not even going to MENTION Fry's dog. (Oh wait, I just did).
A while back, we asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us the saddest TV scenes, and even rounded up some of our favorites — now we're back for another round, this time with lesser-known scenes that still make people sob. Here are 23 more devastating scenes from comedies!
1. On Ted Lasso, when Jamie broke down in Roy's arms after his father embarassed him in front of the entire team:
Apple TV
2. And in the same episode, when Ted revealed his father had killed himself:
Apple TV
3. On How I Met Your Mother, when Barney tried to steal his dad's basketball hoop and confronted him for not being a good father:
CBS
"Hearing his voice crack during his 'Why couldn’t you have been that for me?' always makes me feel the feels. Great acting by NPH."
4. On Schitt's Creek, when David gave Ted advice about Alexis/love in general:
Pop!TV
"This is a really underrated one, but in Schitt's Creek, when David is giving Ted relationship advice and David says, 'I've been burned so many times, I'm basically the human equivalent of the inside of a roasted marshmallow.' This just makes me tear up, especially since Dan's voice breaks while he says it."
5. On Brooklyn Nine-Nine, when Jake and Amy struggled to conceive and decided to take a break from trying for a baby:
Fox
"Jake and Amy so desperately want to have a baby and experiment with their sex lives before they both get frustrated and want to stop trying, and the episode ends with Amy still not pregnant. I SOBBED. I'm not even ready to have babies yet, but their struggle to conceive just hit something in me."
6. On How I Met Your Mother, when Robin discovered she couldn't have kids, and the future kids she had been imagining talking to would never exist:
CBS
7. On Will & Grace, when Jake discovered that Karen's "forbidden room" was a nursery:
NBC
"There's a moment in Will & Grace that breaks my heart every single time and I don't think I've ever seen mentioned in lists like these: when we see inside Karen's 'forbidden room' and it's a nursery! 😭💔"
8. On Mom, when Jodi died of an overdose:
CBS
"The show Mom deals with addiction and recovery so it has some dark moments as it is, but the episode where a new member of their group (and Christy's first sponsee) dies of an overdose was heartbreaking."
9. On Frasier, when Niles had emergency heart surgery:
NBC
10. And also in the same episode, when everyone flashed back to their hospital experiences while waiting for Niles to come out of surgery:
NBC
"The 'Rooms With a View' Episode from Frasier is one of the best episodes of a sitcom, IMO. Niles needs emergency heart surgery and while everyone is waiting for him to come out of it, we see all the vastly different but powerful moments that happen in a hospital. Niles breaking his leg as a kid. Marty getting shot. Marty learning his wife has end stage cancer. ... It’s all so poignant and beautifully done while also showing ... how people handle stress and grief differently with Niles being a son, brother, husband and friend. ... It has stuck with me from the first time I saw it. It’s heart tugging perfection."
11. On Suddenly Susan, when Todd died after the actor (David Strickland) died in real life, and the cast spoke to the camera about David:
NBC
12. On Adventure Time, when the Ice King's origins were revealed:
Cartoon Network
13. On Community, when Abed and Troy body-swapped so Troy wouldn't have to break up with Britta, but then Troy did it anyways in Abed's body:
NBC
"The Community episode when Abed and Troy bodyswap so that 'Troy' can breakup with Britta is another unexpectedly emotional one."
14. On Futurama, when Leela finally met her parents and flashbacks revealed they'd been looking out for her from afar her whole life:
Fox / Comedy Central
15. On Scrubs, when JD, Turk, and Elliot all lost their patients after the episode made a point that one out of every three patients on average died in the hospital, leaving you expecting only one of them to die:
NBC
"When they play the song 'Hallelujah' as they're dying, its unbelievably sad. That one never gets talked about though, and I absolutely love it!"
16. On The Simpsons, when Homer's mom returned and tried to make up with Homer after abandoning him as a child, but Homer wouldn't accept her apology...and when he changed his mind and went to find her, she was dead:
Fox
17. On Brooklyn Nine-Nine, when Terry was stopped by a cop while walking in his own neighborhood just because he was Black:
Fox
18. And in the same episode, when the other cops had to explain systematic racism to Terry's children:
Fox
19. On Regular Show, when Pops sacrificed himself to save the universe:
Cartoon Network
"When Pops, the most gentle and kind of all the characters sacrifices himself to save the entire universe...Yeah, rip my heart out, why don't you?"
20. On Community, when it was revealed what trauma caused Abed to start seeing reality in stop-motion:
NBC
21. And in the same episode, when Abed left Britta (who he imagined as a claymation robot) behind because she lied to him:
NBC
22. And finally, when Eleanor tried to convince Chidi not to leave the Good Place in The Good Place finale...:
NBC
23. ...And then changed her mind and let him go because she knew it was what he wanted:
