Why is Bob crying at his own birthday party? Shouldn't this be a happy occasion?
A character celebrating their birthday, for whatever reason bursts into tears during their party. Whatever the reason for the person of the hour, it's usually unexpected and takes people aback.
Can sometimes result from a OnePersonBirthdayParty, or because the [[BirthdayPartyGoesWrong party has gone badly wrong]]. Compare ABirthdayNotABreak. In rare instances it can be TearsOfJoy. Can occur during a BirthdayEpisode (of course) or an AgelessBirthdayEpisode.

*''Literature/TheBerenstainBears'': The cover art for the book "Too Much Birthday" shows Sister Bear crying as her guests celebrate. In the book, Sister Bear cries because [[BirthdayPartyGoesWrong her party went wrong]].
* The Singaporean novella anthology ''Literature/ClassicSingaporeHorrorStories'' have two such examples:
** 12-year-old Katherine from ''Stepchild'' is shown breaking into tears after her attempt at performing a musical number for her guests is hijacked by the titular stepchild, who began playing pop songs - improvised - on her piano instead. Things quickly goes out of hand until Katherine's eldest brother Augustine slams the piano shut, telling the stepchild to stop crashing his sister's birthday, but at that point the party is ruined.
** Exaggerated example with Emma from ''Skin Deep'', a SpoiledBrat, who is shown crying at her party... because she overheard a friend of hers, Sharon, saying her nose is too big.
* In Lia Geraskina's ''In the Land of Unlearned Lessons-3'', Vitya cries twice during his birthday. For the first time, when he thinks he has to give away his parrot (the parrot was entrusted to the family by a friend who went away, but as he was away for long, they grew to love the parrot and the parrot grew fond of them; the friend gallantly says the parrot in that case will be his birthday gift to Vitya). For the second time, after the party, Vitya blurts out he can hear his pets talking (when they think nobody hears them), and they sadly say they won't talk anymore if that's the case.
* In ''Literature/KarlssonOnTheRoof'', Lillebror's brother and sister give him a toy dog as a joke gift for his birthday, though they know how he longs for a real puppy, and Lillebror cries inconsolably. His parents decide to get him a real dog after all.
* ''Literature/MyBestFriendsExorcism'': Abby runs away and cries at her birthday party after she gets stood up by ''everyone'' for Margaret's horse riding excursion...and then Gretchen shows up and gifts her a Children's Bible.

* ''Series/{{Awkward}}'': Played with. Jenna was revealed to have been sobbing on her bed during her surprise birthday party in the third season... because ''she herself'' ruined the party by wandering into the room while cheating on Matty with Collin.
*''Series/TheBigBangTheory'': In Amy Farrah Fowler's ImagineSpot of what her life would be like without Sheldon, she is having a OnePersonBirthdayParty where she sings to herself while crying into her cupcake... until Stuart interrupts by blowing a noisemaker in her face, to IRL Amy's annoyance.

* ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'': In "House of 1000 Bounces", Regular-Sized Rudy breaks down [[InelegantBlubbering sobbing]] in [[BerserkerTears anger]] because Louise and the others had forced him to go along with stealing a bounce house for his birthday party when all he wanted was to perform a [[ItMakesSenseInContext spoon puppet show]].
* ''WesternAnimation/ChipAndPotato'': In "Chip's Birthday", Nico comes to Chip's birthday party and tearfully admits that Potato has disappeared, causing Chip to cry, too. Fortunately, Potato comes by just then.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': In "For Whom The Sweetie Belle Tolls", one of the reasons Sweetie Belle thinks Rarity is trying to humiliate her all the time is because of a ruined birthday party when she was a filly. Sweetie Belle spent a while making herself look beautiful, but when she came down to the party, she heard the others talking about how cool ''Rarity'' was. From her perspective, Rarity had intentionally stolen the attention. From ''Rarity's'' perspective, she was trying to stop the guests from leaving, and even tried to make them think Sweetie Belle was the one who prepared the whole party. Either way, it ended with Sweetie Belle running back to her room in tears.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls2016'': In "Super Sweet 6", the Powerpuff Girls escape from a candle that was going towards the sun during Princess's birthday party.

** In "Three Jacks and a Beanstalk" from the ''Tales from the Crib'' series, Giant Angelica [[OcularGushers wails enough to accumulate several puddles]] after the babies escape her castle.

** In "[[Recap/RugratsS1E01TommysFirstBirthday Tommy's First Birthday]]", all Tommy wants to do is eat dog food after seeing a commercial for it on television, believing that eating dog food will turn him into a dog, so that he can do whatever Spike, his pet dog does. Tommy's every attempt to eat Spike's dog food is foiled by the adults, and at one point, it's time for him to open his presents. When Didi tells Tommy that he still has many more presents to open, Tommy cries, and Didi tries unsuccessfully to calm him down as she complains to Betty how the party has been a disaster thus far. Tommy stops crying when some caterers arrive at the door with the puppet stand that Didi rented for a puppet show she planned to put on.
** In "[[Recap/RugratsS3E13DestinationMoonAngelicasBirthday Angelica's Birthday]]", Angelica [[GrowingUpSucks wants to avoid the responsibilities that come with growing up]], so she [[GooGooGetup dresses and acts like a baby]], which of course, includes crying like one instead of talking like a big girl. When Drew sees this, he complains to Charlotte that whenever Angelica wants something, she just cries. Charlotte then tells Drew, "[[WaxingLyrical It's her party and she can cry if she wants to]]."
