Community/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

* In "Introduction to Film", the scene where Abed shows the video he made to his father. Relatively speaking.

* The ending of Abed's [[Stop Motion]] Christmas episode counts, too, fully [[Lampshade Hanging|invoking]] the [[Narm Charm]] of the [[Rankin/Bass Productions]] [[Christmas Special]].

* Seemingly all Abed-focused plots. Even the Chicken episode was a bit depressing when you see {{spoiler|Abed's obsession solely for his need to relate to people.}}

* [[Jerkass Woobie|Pierce]] alone and unconscious on a park bench, having chosen his pill addiction over his friends, on Valentine's Day.

* The Dean's breakdown in [[Community/Recap/S3 E08 Documentary Filmmaking Redux|"Documentary Filmaking Redux".]] Turns out {{spoiler|He didn't even go to Greendale, he went to an actual University and he felt like he was ashamed of Greendale, and wanted to make it better}}.

* The Dean's breakdown in [[Community/Recap/S3/E08 Documentary Filmmaking Redux|"Documentary Filmaking Redux".]] Turns out {{spoiler|He didn't even go to Greendale, he went to an actual University and he felt like he was ashamed of Greendale, and wanted to make it better}}.

* This one might be just me, but in the episode where Troy meets Levar Burton he cries a lot. Not out of happiness either, but because Pierce is tormenting him with what he most feared, disappointing his idol. It's [[Played for Laughs]], but I didn't find it particularly funny, I just felt bad for him.

** Agreed. Maybe it's just because he's my favorite character, but a lot of Troy moments make me sad. Another one that stands out is in "Mixology Certification" when Troy has his first birthday celebration but Jeff and Britta ruin it by spending the whole night arguing. Troy was obviously able to shrug it off, but to me it was a serious bummer.

* When <s>Omar</s> Prof. Kane is talking about Lego's, did anyone else find this really depressing? I mean, it's funny in a uncomfortable awkward kinda way, but still. It's a man fresh out of prison, he's been in their for god knows how long, and he's lost touch with society, and more importantly stuff he enjoyed before he got arrested. He knows everything changed but nobody understands what he's talking about, because they have been surrounded by it for the amount of time that he has been inside. It's depressing in a [[Fridge Sadness]] kinda way.

Line 17:

** At the end of the episode, {{spoiler|the two of them both want to keep fighting, because they're convinced it will be the last thing they ever do together. They would rather beat each other with pillows indefinitely than go their separate ways, but they don't see how they can just go back to being friends.}} [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|Until Jeff intervenes.]]

* Kind of a fridge tear jerker: Abed seems pretty upset (for Abed) in ''Regional Holiday Music,'' and he's desperate enough to spend Christmas with his friends that he resorts to recruiting them for the glee club pageant. It seems funny at first - and then you really ''look'' at him in certain scenes, like right before he and Mr. Rad start singing, and when he's apologizing to the rest of the group and saying he'll see them all after break, and he looks/sounds like he's as near to actually crying as he's ever gotten. And ''then'' you remember that last year, following a complete mental breakdown, Abed decided that the new meaning of Christmas for him is ''spending time with his friends''.
