In my opinion nothing beats the ending to Blackadder Goes Forth. Suddenly they were real people with real fears heading into death. George's "I'm scared, sir." is heartbreaking.

[@waynemcdermott9051]

It's British. So can't be as good as Fresh Prince 😂😂

[@tdi21]

Will and James ALWAYS had amazing on-screen chemistry RIP Uncle Phil

[@NorthWalesKid]

the ending of blackadder goes forth is at once the greatest single moment in tv comedy history and the saddest, most beautiful moment in tv history

[@waynemcdermott9051]

Too British for Watch Mojo. Boy meets world 😂😂

[@SupermarketSweep777]

One bittersweet thing about Seymour is how Mr. Panucci kept an eye on him until he retired and closed shop. He came across as a grouch but did have good heart.

[@thestruggler340]

I would argue fry learning about his brother and his nephew was probably the saddest Futurama episode, him spending the whole episode thinking his brother didn’t care for him and stole his life only to find out that his brother cared for him so deeply that he named his son after him and the realisation that he could never make up with him was genuinely heart breaking. Futurama writing was incredible

[@13blackcatzzz]

I had to put my dog down today. Seymour really hit hard. Thank you Jack for the years of love. You've crossed the rainbow bridge buddy. 😢

[@jeremywilliams5141]

Honorable mentions: 1. James Evans dies (Good Times) Damn! Damn!! DAMN!!! 2. Todd Stites dies (Suddenly Susan) 3. Mel's Diner closes permanently (Alice) 4. Chief Carl Kaminsky dies (Gimme a Break!)

[@trinaq]

The countdown to Marshall's dad's death is subtly done, but once you notice it, you can't unsee it.

[@czechchicklet6890]

I was very young when Blake died on MASH. I was very upset and told my mom that I couldn't understand why the writers would do that. She then explained to me that lots of people who were loved died in the war. Husbands, sons, fathers, brothers, etc. It was then that I really understood wars. It was a very good lesson for me, so I was glad that they did that.

[@thomasmiller5252]

The Series Finale of The Dinosaurs when they went extinct was saddeer than many of these. ESPECIALLY when Brian "died" considering Stewie has a time machine.................

[@markdombrowski9619]

Jurassic Bark always hits right in the feels . I’ m glad they changed from the original idea of it being his mom. A parents love is undeniable, but something hits harder about the silent devotion of a pet.

[@AshPrimeDCFC]

Futurama could've also been on here for Fry's brother and Leela's parents. You know the ones I mean.

[@cristianmuraro8214]

The fact that they didn't mention George Cooper's death, I was literally breakdown in tears when Mary and the others find out about his death

[@NiqueSmith]

The first name you talking about is George.

[@gerrygarvey6792]

They’ve reloaded this one so many times he probably hasn’t died yet.

[@gerrygarvey6792]

@@NiqueSmithDon’t be that person

[@DavidR.-fk4kc]

Another sad sitcom moment is from "All in the Family". In one episode, Archie is talking to Edith's picture soon after she dies. While talking, he breaks down in tears and says his goodbyes to her.

[@Zarascure]

My depression told me to visit here.

[@Caylynn72]

MASH, death of Col Blake is my number one. Still gets me to this day, even though I know it’s coming. Such great performances and so moving.

[@scottshapiro2795]

A coworker recommended Futurama to me, so I began watching it. The day after I watched this episode, I told her I no longer liked her, or the show. She knew I watched Jurassic Bark. I've rewatched Futurama a couple times now, and this is the only episode I will never watch again. It's just too sad.

[@caitlinmanning4970]

My heart absolutely shattered when Marshall said ‘I’m not ready for this.’ I know it’s how I’m going to feel when I lose my own parents..

[@grimm00002]

When I lost my Dad, it was in the middle of the very hot summer months. I remember having stood on the hospital grounds on a sunny afternoon. It was supposed to be bright, but the world was dim to me. Just absolute sorrow. Overwhelming grief. It's like what Ron Weasley said when a Dementor came in the train and it felt like he'll never be happy again. That was me, for months.

[@caitlinmanning4970]

@ I’m so sorry for your loss and I hope you’re healing now

[@ILoveCanada0]

Steve Carells departure from the Office US was so sad the song the cast sang in character for Michael still makes me cry, and that moment with Steve and Jenna at the airport agh the tears!

[@vulpixfairy1985]

I was so devastated at the end of Blackadder Goes Forth and I still go silent and think of the people who died in the war…it’s a great show…

[@trinaq]

"Where do you think we are?" Doctor Cox realising that Ben is gone is tremendously well acted and performed.

[@amonrodriguez3518]

Nothing hits as hard when someone says “my dad sucks” when yours walked out. Until you hear “how come he don’t want me man”

[@darthrage8673]

Honorable mentions Home Improvement: Randy may have cancer George Lopez: George’s mom is called worthless by her own mom Drake and Josh: Drake breaks down and apologizes to Josh That 70’s Show: Eric and Donna break up Everybody Loves Raymond: Robert is done with dating

[@CinePhile_Girl_Mahira]

How I Met Your Mother followed a group of friends as they found love and started their lives. In “Bad News,” Marshall (Jason Segel) and Lily (Alyson Hannigan) continue to struggle with fertility issues and become concerned she might never be able to get pregnant, leading both of them to get tested and find they had no issues. Marshall was initially reluctant to open up to his parents about it but ultimately did, and when he later tried to call his dad to share his test results, there was no answer. Lily later told him he had died. Marshall and Lily’s fertility struggle in How I Met Your Mother was emotional enough on its own, but the added layer of the death of Marshall’s father in “Bad News” made the episode all the more tragic. The unexpected nature of the death was realistic, and it was heartbreaking to watch Marshall receive the news. It is often regarded as one of the best episodes of the show, as well as one of the best TV episodes of all time.

[@markdombrowski9619]

The Simpson’s where Homer’s mom dies is sadder. They have a fight and he finds her dead when he goes to apologize. Dan Castellaneta does a phenomenal job of conveying Homer’s sadness with just one word, “ Mom?”

[@jpotter7716]

Fry's dog Seymour is the only one that got me!

[@MsShadowrealm]

Something even sadder about Homer's mother leaving is when she goes to get on the bus she bumps her head and says "D'oh!" Showing us how much of Homer's personality comes from her.😭

[@henri191]

The six Friends leaving the six keys was sad, but Marshall's father death was even more sad because i didn't expect 😢

[@JMara2000]

I can understand picking just one moment from each series, but it seems like a crime not to include Edith’s breakdown over Beverly LaSalle as well as the Golden Girls episode where Sophia’s boardwalk friend has to be sent away due to his Alzheimer’s Disease.

[@eric-shawash]

Sophia and her friend were watching people pee into the ocean…. God that is so sad of an episode.

[@niallpike1456]

Josh is Done from Drake and Josh The scene where Drake reaches his breaking point after the power shower and apologizes to Josh for ruining his life

[@kenterminateddq5311]

Any Will Smith crying scene from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air has to get a mention, WatchMojo.

[@tylergoodman3560]

Jurassic Bark still breaks my heart every time I watch it. 😢🎉

[@tmoore4075]

Having lost a parent, The Big Bang Theory, HIMYM and 8 Simple Rules episodes hit harder now than they did back when they aired. I actually found a voicemail from my dad on my work voicemail years after he had passed similar to Marshall.

[@crimsondeath84]

I just watched an episode of Perfect Strangers last night where Balki’s grandmother was supposed to visit him. Sadly on her way to visit him, her heart stopped and she passed away. It was a very heartbreaking episode.

[@benlevan5645]

"And taking a look at the long-range forecast: continued snow, darkness, and extreme cold. This is Howard Handupme. Goodnight.... Good-bye." -Dinosaurs

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Look around ted. You're all alone. That still hits hard😢😢😢😢

[@HuggieBear39]

I was sure #1 or #2 would be "DAMN DAMN DAMN!" Wehen Florida breaks down after Jame's funreal.

[@358itachi]

How did Jay Prichett's outburst over sharing emotions make the list. Every time I have seen Ed O'neil saying "He had to have known. He knew, right?", I've cried.

[@iamthebush1180]

in superstore they don't know what Mateo looks like until they see his picture on a wall

[@StrawberrySpectre]

Hoping the modern family episode with Phil and his dad and in the end Phil says he didn’t know it would be his last day with his dad, it breaks me

[@jdogg0316]

Affected by losing my own father, 2 recent moments that got me were in Big Bang Theory when Sheldon watches a video that got taped over by one of his Dad's games and he realizes he's more like his father than he ever knew. The other was the end of Young Sheldon when his Dad dies. I knew it was coming for the entire series yet I let myself think we were going to end the show without losing him on screen and when the Principal and Assistant Coach showed up at the house my stomach dropped.

[@New2RetroReviews]

The one with Edith being attacked in All In The Family is truly haunting but...I kinda feel the spot should have gone to the episode of All In The Family where Beverly LaSalle comes back for the Holidays and Mike and Beverly are attacked on the street because they realized who Beverly was and they ended up dying and it shook Edith's faith and holiday.

[@Redditfanboy-v2s]

Great list Watchmojo

[@CandiceVidito32]

Brian's death was sad for anyone who has lost a pet 😢

[@gamefreak2050]

“Look around Ted, you’re all alone…”

[@tdi21]

Number 10 was my favourite emotional moment You should do a top 10 of deaths of actors who were referred in-series

[@meganwelsh6971]

I'm glad they mentioned mom that show to me is the perfect mix of real issues and humor

[@AlejandroHernández-q9r]

Sheldon´s father departure was way better executed than Howard's mother...it completely molded the final Sheldon´s form...

[@Hoemal13]

I just say "One Piece"! There are some really sad moments which make you cry. Going Merry´s funeral, Ace´s Death, the backstories of the Strawhats, etc.

[@KingRooney89]

Michael Scott, the best boss ever

[@CinePhile_Girl_Mahira]

Mockumentary-style The Office, based on the British series of the same name, followed the employees of Dunder Mifflin and their incompetent boss, Michael (Steve Carell). In “Goodbye, Michael,” he secretly prepared to leave for Colorado a day earlier than everyone thought and wanted to spend his last day saying his goodbyes to everyone one-on-one, complete with gag gifts. His most emotional goodbyes were with Jim (John Krasinski), who figured out it was really his last day, and Pam (Jenna Fischer).

[@Survivor-dw7we]

I hope The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air episode where Will in a hospital bed recovering from a gunshot wound gets revenge craving Carlton to give him a handgun Carlton was going to use on Will's attacker makes the list.

[@yitzchokfriedman4823]

IASIP. The gang carries a corpse up a mountain. "You never carried me up a mountain..."

[@jaimereupert4247]

IASIP?

[@deanwilliamson1929]

And I thought sitcoms were supposed to be light hearted.

[@agamaz5650]

they are this is nothing

[@motherlove202]

They are, mostly. There can have serious episodes every now and then

[@Jeremiah_Rivers76]

Stephanie informing Jesse was a hard decision, but I’d have done the same thing. It’d be a promise I couldn’t keep.

[@kevindagame]

Fresh Prince: Will meets his father

[@czechchicklet6890]

Sid's death on Knotts Landing was shocking and totally unexpected. I was in Jr. High School and I remember crying and thinking that it was silly of me to cry about a soap opera, 😂😢.

[@mrspeaker89]

My two favorite sitcoms of all time were mentioned: Scrubs & The Office. I'm satisfied.

[@siyathokozandwandwe9809]

Wills father leaving 💔

[@bobb6313]

“Mother Simpson” is the greatest episode of The Simpsons ever!

[@MrGabeanator]

Walt Disney always said for every laugh there must be a tear

[@ellaser93]

Honestly, you could probably do a Top 10 Saddest Moments with just "Scrubs" alone.

[@Jamal-bl7yh]

Jesus Goes To Jail Black Jesus (2014-2019) In The Season 1 finale Vic was successful In having Jesus's Marijuana laced Vegetable Garden torn down and Jesus being the messiah himself says the Iconic line "Let God Handle Things" before being arrested and being sent off to Jail until season 2

[@joermnyc]

Nope, switch the top 2, that episode of Futurama hits harder than anything else, no matter how many times you see it. Good boy Seymour. Good boy. 😢

[@Mightyblackcats]

that blackaader episode is the best piece of british tv ever, ever

[@extrasessionwithkikomalicd758]

Himym marshall's dad still is gut wrentching for me

[@Gnug215]

Nice list, but somehow you managed to switch number 1 and 2 around.

[@vwhite3055]

The Scrubs episode should be much higher. It's one of the most powerful episodes in TV history.

[@jennythapamagar7914]

This is my girlfriend's KZbin account and that dog almost brpke me when I first saw it air.

[@TheJmall88]

When Baliki's great grandma died in Perfect Strangers had me tearing up 😢

[@josh72456]

I've seen the episode from Blackadder, Family Guy, clip from The Big Bang Theory, episode from The Simpsons, episode from How I Met Your Mother and clip from The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air.

[@ZiggyDoom]

Poussey Dying in Orange is the new Black was sad also.

[@Zeishiki]

Damn you. I was doing good until #2. Seymore's death just hits hard.

[@jabarinath2452]

[@fernandocoelho5995]

Where is "A, my name is Alex" from Family Ties?

[@makaio9578]

As much as I praise Watchmojo FOR FINNALY INCLUDING A BRITISH SHOW INTO THEIR LISTS! there’s at least 3 extremely emotional moments from Only Fools & Horses what deserve a mention

[@jennyfab312]

They CONSTANTLY have British shows in their lists. And have British-specific lists

[@chelseacanales8763]

I wanted to protect Edith from that creep that was going to harm her 😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@atworkstation]

I thought it would be at #1. And that episode believe it or not, won an Emmy.

[@tt2025utube]

Thank goodness she had the wherewithal and awareness of the figure out she can throw that burning cake pan in his face and get away.

[@RossIsFine]

Gee if Mateo weren't breaking the law by coming to America ILLEGALLY, he wouldn't have been deported. That wasn't sad, it was justice served

[@MrZoibil]

Mateo was an arsehole to everyone. I cheered when he got deported. I was devastated when he came back.

[@CutterHistorical]

Sophia represented some ashamed parents of cross dressing people that they think they did something wrong to make the person do what they did... NEVER FEEL ASHAMED, EMBRACE IT!!!

[@daveerk6573]

Blackadder 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ciscoz313]

Did yall not post this same video like 3 months ago?

[@nishiki2753]

Weird choice for background music given the subject matter. "Decades later, this death still hurts".. music: 😄🎸🎶🎶

[@RonTodd-gb1eo]

Another one from the UK Steptoe and Son episode when the horse died and the replacement hore was sick.
