The Simpsons (animation)/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

*** I was crying at the first commercial break. {{spoiler|Homer: Mom, are you asleep...asleep with your eyes open? (worried, tearful) Mom... MOM? 'cut to commercial.'}}. Not made any better by the fact that '''''this episode premiered on Mother's Day'''''.

** Perhaps even more heartbreaking is Abe's reaction. Abe ''never'' stopped hating Mona for abandoning him (which is why he lied to Homer saying his mom died while Homer went to the movies as a teenager, even though "Mother Simpson" revealed that Homer was only seven or eight when his mom left after the botched biological warfare lab raid), to the point that he openly bragged that he would "dance on her grave". But when {{spoiler|she does die, Abe solemnly declares that he no longer feels like dancing.}}

** There was also this fact. At that time, Fox started ending shows with split-screen credits with ads for Fox shows playing over it. The Simpsons staff had to fight tooth-and-nail to have the full studio credits play over that beautiful shot. And we're glad they won.

** Not to mention "Lisa on Ice" with the climactic montage of Bart and Lisa remembering all the times they actually cared about each other and deciding to throw the hockey game and forgive each other (leading to them skating around the rink while the angry townspeople burn the hockey arena to the ground).

** Lady Gaga telling Moe theres no hope for him and then he gets ran over by a train. It's [[Played for Laughs]], but ''damn''.
