[@MsMojo]

Which Crazy Ex-Girlfriend moments did you find the most heartbreaking? Let us know below!

[@jadefreed145]

Great video. The analysis was deep.

[@MsMojo]

@@jadefreed145 Thanks Jade!

[@nxt_tim]

I think I cried the most at Rebecca's Reprise just before her wedding... 🥺

[@hbluemole6941]

When Greg found out about Rebecca and Marco and asked why she did that

[@chiohitz]

The darkness song and Paula's abortion.

[@MaebyMalice]

This is the most underrated show to ever exsist. I miss it so much.

[@kpatters78]

Absolutely Agree

[@JarrettSelf]

The “Face Your Fears” reprise where Nathaniel opens the door but Rebecca’s gone. That moment was super sad. Or Josh laughing at Rebecca’s love note.

[@ameliamorgan40]

The part that made me cry the most was when she told the flight attendant that she needed help because it takes a lot of courage to ask for help sometimes, especially when it has to do with a persons mental health🥺😭💕

[@ausborncurry]

The scene where she lashes out at all her friends was so brilliantly executed and I have never seen anything so masterfully done on television before.

[@kimmiebraunthal4874]

Agreed. And you can see her fear when she says those hurtful things to them. She's so obviously hurting and feeling ambushed that she has to say those things or she'll cry/break down. Almost like she wants to apologize (especially after what she says to Paula), but just can't yet. SO WELL DONE.

[@dianavarela3722]

That scene broke me

[@smolsews3760]

Having been in Rebecca's position many times it's just as painful as you imagine it to be. I loved this show and all the traits she have (while exaggerated for comedic effect) are honestly so spot on it hurts

[@erincooper7038]

In the first few episodes of series 2 when Greg told Rebecca he was driving over to tell her he loves her when he got the dui. Man that hit me right in the feels

[@beatrizgomes4094]

Yes! I think the show had many moments that were sadder than Audra's thing or Valencia's past with Father Brah

[@kavyb1730]

I thought that would be number 1!

[@francedajao8231]

@@kavyb1730 what?? That's sadder that Rebecca's suicide attempt????

[@btlnmts]

I know it was an honorable mention, but the end of Nathaniel’s fantasy with the ‘please, let me be happy’ and the following scene where he cries in the arms of the pizza guy was far and away the most emotional scene for me. Especially in the context of the episode, as you realize Maya is really Rebecca in his dream, and Rebecca appears and asks him to let her go.

[@Collsy100]

When Rebecca is feeling rejected by Josh and she gets heckled to tears by the girls at camp, I wanted to cry for her. Something about that performance just felt so vulnerable when she asked them through her tears why they were so mean to her.

[@belhougoldenwind]

Omg same that scene was so hard to watch

[@indigoziona]

I wept buckets at that scene.

[@LilySayyy]

As sad and revolting the prison stories are, how can one not laugh at Rebecca's "ratata"????

[@allison9101]

The moment that will always break my heart to just even think about is when Rebecca says, "Maybe this is the version of Rebecca Bunch he is going to stick around for" talking about her dad and every time it hurts me so much.

[@laurenbruges8784]

Number 10 is really sad because you can tell she’s trying to push them away because she’s scared. This is really typical of people with bpd; so scared of being abandoned they push those who love them away.

[@smolsews3760]

I have BPD and this scene is always hard for me to watch. I've done it so many times, and sometimes the relationships have never recovered. I've gotten to the point where I've often (attempted) to force partners to break up with me becasue in that moment I'm so scared of them doing it that I often just want the plaster to be ripped off. Living with BPD is horrid and this show helped me cope with it (I got my diagnosis about 4 months before S3 came onto Netflix)

[@413jmee]

binged this show earlier this year while in the middle of getting help for my own mental health/my own diagnosis of bipolar 2, and this show hit me like a truck. relating to the highs and lows that come with a diagnosis, the mixed feeling of being prescribed meds, how utterly terrifying it is that you might fall back into suicidal tendencies... i will never be able to express my gratitude to rachel bloom for making this show ❤️

[@discord1880]

it’s helping me a lot to i’m 13 so i can’t get dignosed but my therapist thinks i have bpd it’s rlly helpful to see somone like me

[@angiemarin622]

I cry every time when Rebecca is the bathroom and everyone starts panicking. Especially when Valencia breaks down, telling Rebecca she can’t lose her. It reminds me of my family when...I had the same experience as Rebecca. My friends couldn’t leave me alone for one second and that just hit me so hard

[@bertarodriguez6339]

i swear to God i've been craving Crazy ex-girlfriend contents on youtube

[@fairlyliterary4771]

Have you seen Bagels After Midnight? Good CXG videos

[@bertarodriguez6339]

@@fairlyliterary4771 i've never hrard of that channel but thank u so much!!!!

[@misstrussteLgbTq]

@fairly literary you beat me to the comment!

[@lilithcrow6675]

Me too, and I don't even watch the show.

[@science1644]

Rebecca finding out that her mother has been drugging her and Naomi finding out that Rebecca is contemplating suicide are two of the saddest moments for me.

[@lucyb8285]

Greg finding out rebecca and josh slept together, and his 'i could if I wanted to' short reprise :(( I loved greg and round about then when all the bad things started happening to him made me so sad

[@TheAmimies]

its not actually sad but the part that made me cry the most was the last episode where rebecca finally finds joy in something and its like everything comes together right at the end of the show

[@bowtiesncoolnes5715]

Omg I was non stip crying the entire episode

[@selene108]

What about Paula's son going away for several years after they just started to get along?? I was in tears man

[@hbluemole6941]

I will always never believe they didn't put that on the list

[@goddessartemis8989]

When Paula has the dream that Rebecca came to her door (after blowing up at everyone and walking out), but wakes up knowing she's in trouble. I cry EVERY TIME

[@valentinalares3661]

All of these moments are really sad, but I'm kinda disappointed that they didn't put any of the sad moments between Greg and Rebecca, for example in the duck pond, or when she found out that he was an alcoholic, or the scene at the airport. Greg was such an important character in the show and you guys didn't even mention him :(

[@arabellamileham9978]

Definitely! Such a shame they recast him in the final series too, it was a clever twist but just didn't work for me.

[@laurenbruges8784]

Yeah the scene at the airport was very emotional

[@sodafeet]

Moments that an observer feels were romance lost, is not the same as sad. There is no danger in losing a moment of romance, they can be replenished. Real danger, real moments when one's loneliness is turned against oneself, is sad.

[@samcu1379]

The song “the end of the movie”

[@bestistmate]

Absolutely

[@corona1590]

How is “Shit Show” not on this list? Greg realizing he has to make a change in a way that is both painful and necessary, was heart breaking...

[@mefi1895]

Or scene with his dad

[@jorgevaldez9690]

As a person myself with anxiety and depression, this show touched me very deep. I laughed a lot but also cried and i saw myself reflected on Rebeca's life.

[@toylad4646]

Where's It Was a Shit-Show? It made me cry so much

[@sadieleith4459]

Toylad absolutely, the show was never the same when Greg (Santino Fontana) left

[@jeppeaksrensen8316]

Rebecca's relapse +/the darkness song.

[@naniccabe]

the fact that she didnt want to try a new relationship because she was scared of commiting suicide again was so fucking raw.

[@smolsews3760]

I was diagnosed with BPD a couple of months before S3 aired and this show honestly helped me cope and come to terms with my diagnosis. I now use it to help people understand my diagnosis. Rewatching the show recently it really hit home and it's incredibly difficult to watch sometimes

[@farrellanne90]

Rachel Bloom is so wonderful and under appreciated!

[@samanthasayer9209]

For me the moment that gets me feeling the most emotional is in the last episode when Rebecca is struggling with her song lyrics and Valencia, Heather and Paula are sat in her house giving her their full support and Paula says “You’re doing great honey”. It’s just a really symbolic moment because Rebecca’s been through many highs and lows throughout the seasons and you see her finally in a good place doing something she loves. You just see Rebecca smile and know she is doing so well ❤️

[@matthieus2]

I personally think a heartbreaking moment is when she imagines her life married to either Greg, Nathaniel or Josh and she's not happy with either of them. I also agree Rebecca's overdose on the plane and asking for help. I do think the saddest for me in the clips were Dr Akopian telling her she deserves love, and her blaming herself at her wedding. Maybe I'm in a minority but I didn't find Greg leaving that sad as such, as it did seem Rebecca had been messing him around, even if not intentionally. I thought his drinking addiction was more sad.

[@mystic0screams]

Yeah, I'm glad they adressed alcoholism in this this. Cuz so many times shows portray people as 'social drinkers' and you feel like every scene the person has a drink in their hand. Greg admitting he had a problem made sense

[@Unhappytimeaper]

I always saw Greg leaving as heartwarming- Greg do what Rebecca did. He needed a change, he needs to get out West Convina which is all he ever wanted. Greg got a happy ending, and yes sometimes that means saying goodbye.

[@OMGmynameisLILI]

Greg leaving is on my top 3 of saddest moments

[@pigpjs]

My honorable mention is when Rebecca finds out her mom has been drugging her smoothies. Her mom expresses her terror and desperation that Rebecca is going to kill herself. While drugging someone is never okay, you feel the mom's panic and understand why she did what she did. It is also a time where you get a sense of maternal love that she's not great at expressing.

[@naomilamont3277]

When that moment is #10, you know you're in for a rough ride. Damn, that was a rough scene.

[@glennsangers]

Should have been in the top 3 imho

[@danidkg4071]

10:38 "white josh and darryl break up" FHJDSHFJKDHS IM SORRY BUT THE FACT THAT HIS NAME IS WHITE JOSH IS STILL SO FUNNY TO ME

[@paddingtonelmarmalade1786]

When Rebecca sings "The Darkness"

[@Ashely56]

Number 1 had me tearing up just being reminded of it in this video

[@emmacd6515]

Underrated moment is when Naomi reads Rebecca’s laptop and realises she’s suicidal

[@venelitedahl7322]

Paula's abortion was one of the saddest moments for me. Especially because she didn't feel like she could tell Rebecca

[@danieldonovan106]

Please continue to give us CXG content kernels I can't bear losing this show

[@yasmeenc3727]

[@PastelN01r]

Rebecca's Reprise was something i was happy about until i realized what she was saying

[@Hollyberrystreats]

Yes! And that little voice crack on "and my daddy will love me" broke my heart.

[@Joeyyy1006]

Greg leaving on the escalator was the single saddest part in CXG.. How is Greg not in any of these?!

[@Tcrock13]

The scenes MsMojo chose: 😔🕳️😭💔 The music they chose: ✨💖☺️🎶

[@12yeartwihard]

I remember putting this on as a sleep show and finding out about her diagnosis, as someone who deals with the same thing i had to go back and rewatch. Its truly underrated.

[@MariaJoseRangelUwU]

The suicide attempt was so hard for me to watch... I related so much to her feelings and i had to take a break because i knew exactly how her depression felt, how she just wanted the pain to stop and she did something like that out of desperation.

[@discord1880]

she doesn’t have depression she has bpd

[@MariaJoseRangelUwU]

@@discord1880 yes, which can cause depression too. Sometimes you have depression, sometimes you have something else and being depressed is a symptom. People with any type of mental illness experience depression too as part of it.

[@MariaJoseRangelUwU]

@Hi there I’m very sorry. I hope you feel at least a little bit better now. Call for help anytime you need it.

[@JTBriteLites]

I'm not sad, you're sad!

[@youtubeaccount9674]

One scene not mentioned that made me tear up was when Rebecca and Greg were at the auto-shop (in lieu of the contrived hot air balloon date), just talking about what they wanted to order and smiling and laughing. Then it gets silent while she looks at the menu and Greg is just looking at her in such awe and: "...You're the love of my life... You know that, right?" "...I do now..."

[@luccianamoscoso9956]

For me one moment that clearly deserved at least an honorable mention is from 2x04 ''It was a shit show''. That moment that song hit me hard.

[@natbatlightwood5288]

I was going through a mental breakdown earlier this year (the darkest place i've ever been and i came really close to doing something irreversable...i want to say it was strength that stopped me but it wasn't, i was just too scared...on the plus side mental health services are finally helping me so thats a plus they're gunna help me get into college.) The meltdown coincided with my first time watcing this show, the OD scene on the plane really struck a nerve with me at the time and i love that it ended on a hopeful note. One thing i loved about the show it wasn't just 'oh wow, i'm all better' after a couple of episodes her recovery lasted until the end of the show. We saw her slip up a few times we see her skip therapy occasionally, and she wasn't demonised for that and i love how realistic they portrayed the recovery. (You know for a comedy musical.)

[@pixie4184]

The scene: 😰 Watchmojo lady: 😃

[@theamazingalakasam]

I almost cried during the season 1 finale when Greg says he wished he told Rebecca he loved her

[@zbotello1439]

It was such and amazing show, it deserved more credit and acknowledgement

[@hunnicuttab1]

When Rebecca runs out of her session to,basically, pay her dad to stay for her wedding and apologizing for “ driving him away” when she was a child.

[@reynaldofloresjr4773]

Her dad is the worst.

[@nikolebisceglia3903]

When she started attacking everyone i was TERRIFIED that she was going to attack Paula & her going to law school. All I could think was "omg please don't it there really is no coming back from that" Im so glad they didn't cross that line.

[@danidkg4071]

the moment where josh leaves rebecca is definitely one of the saddest, but tbh, i'm kinda glad he did. rebecca stalked him, manipulated him, lied to him and was only dragging herself down in the process. it's a heartbreaking moment, but it had to happen. (also: even tho i love rebecca, i feel like the show made a mistake by having her in a love triangle with josh again in the later season. rebecca deserves love and happiness, but josh shouldn't have forgiven her or at least trusted her again)

[@science1644]

Yes, that part and Valencia becoming friends with Rebecca so easily really squick me out. They are the two things I regret the most about the series.

[@Unhappytimeaper]

@@science1644 even more when it’s clear that Rebecca only wanted to be friends because she wanted someone to complain about Josh too. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind they became friends but I hated how Rebecca only want to use Valencia and then never went back over that to make them bond over something more solid like a shared interest or something Also yeah, I think Rebecca and while her story of growth is good even as someone with plenty of mental health issues it’s hard for me to like her after what she’s done and how people keep going back. It’s one thing to have mental health struggles and do bad things but another to do bad things and use mental health problems to justify them which while I don’t think was the goal of the show felt like was happening a lot. Rebecca did some very serious things to Josh and while he wasn’t a good boyfriend either with plenty of struggles having him go back after very serious crimes made it feel like her actions had no serious consequences to the people around her. Edit; also like what she does to Josh by using someone else’s beliefs to make his friends and entirety of the town dislike him isn’t okay. She actively mentally tortures him, gets him in trouble with everyone, goes after his family all because she wants him to be miserable. Like I know we are suppose to feel bad for Rebecca but as some point I can’t sympathize with her anymore because she just does so much to make it hard & it makes me even more upset when Josh turns out to move on from it. While he had his own faults and issues Rebecca was not good to him in anyway to the point mental illness I don’t think can ever fix her actions and by right it back as it was it feel like it does. Having mental health problems and doing things mean people can and will leave you if you continue to do bad things and it’s not easily fixed with unconditional love like the show presents- having Josh not come back to me a potential love interest shows that.

[@RonnieStewartJr]

I have been searching for this list. BAAAaaAAAAaAAAART!!!

[@nikolebisceglia3903]

Valencia & Father Brah realizing they were meant to be together & that it was too late absolutely broke me. I understand V is completely happy now but it's that pain of what if & those years of wondering why & seeing that she could have been happy from the start & wasting her love & effort on Josh. I absolutely love Joah it's just you know what I mean. Btw im binge watching the series for the 6th time. I rewatch the shit out of this show 1 or 2 times a year because its so motivational. It makes me happy to see someone as socially awkward improve themselves & find happiness along their journey.

[@mjlvermouth]

I find Rebecca’s reprise to be the saddest of all songs, especially when she sang the same lyrics as Darrel « daddy’s little girl, princesse of my love ». She was such a deeply hurt child who tries to find happiness but had to go through all of that, and at that moment she thought she would never have problems again

[@belhougoldenwind]

You forgot the eleven o clock musical number in season 4 episode 17, the part when rebecca is doing a "you ruined everything" reprise is heartbreaking, as well at the part when paula is welcomed in rebecca's head space and help her to find what she wants

[@loramisevska285]

Is it just me or honrable mentions were sadder than the list

I agree with second place. That scene has been stucked in my head since i watched it.

[@toddbeaton1512]

crazy ex girlfriend is so amazing

[@auldthymer]

For me, the killer moment was during the Santa Ana Winds. During the final reprise he sings "So it's you and not me who's super weird;" he reprises the line from "You Stupid Bitch;" and the camera changes views and we see Rebecca is *all by herself*. She was calling herself super weird!

[@hbluemole6941]

I'm not sad, you're sad

[@mallory9486]

a top one for me is greg saying "i should've said i love you" in the season one finale

[@jesserivera2043]

I would argue that the last few minutes of season 2 episode 12 are amongst the saddest, because knowing what happens on a rewatch and seeing the setup before the fall is pretty heartbreaking *Spoilers- the scenes include Valencia agreeing to help set up the wedding, Paula arranging to get the wedding dress, and Nathaniel arranging to get Rebecca's dad. This put Rebecca in a state of happiness right before the wedding falling through

[@sammywilliam8156]

It's kind of sad that I used to think this show was about a girl that wanted to ruin a man's life when an actuality he was the only person that she actually loves and she is a complex character she went from someone that I absolutely f****** hated to a character that I literally root for every time I see her no offense she's not that bad of a person she's fictional but I would rather have her as a crazy ex-girlfriend than my other ex-girlfriend who literally tried to f****** poison me with drain cleaner in my coffee
