Tear Jerker / Achievement Hunter

• The terrifying variation/extension of their Hot Foot Things to Do in Minecraft, which consists in collapsing floor and ceiling around the players, is about as cheerful as you can imagine. Indeed, the game's second round is torn between heart-wrenching death scenes and pure, terrifying Psychological Horror as Ray, Jack and Ryan fall down one after the other to their respective deaths, screaming, while Michael and Gavin do their absolute best to stay together until the very end. This all culminates in both of them getting trapped in a one-by-one space together until, mere seconds after Ryan falls down, they end up getting suffocated in the sand together, bringing the game to an apparent tie (a first for a Things to Do In...). In the end, there's still only one winner, Michael, as Gavin dies a few seconds before, but the whole scene is quite an emotionally wrecking Dying Moment of Awesome, tripling as a Tear Jerker, horrifying nightmare and CMOA.
• In the Let's Play Grand Theft Auto V episode, "Gavin's Heist", Geoff remains the only survivor. Everybody else was killed by the police or, in Gavin's and Ray's case, blown up. Geoff pitifully cries as he makes his getaway. Played for Laughs, of course.
  Geoff: My best friends are all dead...and I'm broke!
• In the "Michael's Heist" episode of Let's Play GTA V:
  • Ray and Ryan kill what must be HUNDREDS of cops while remaining almost completely silent, trying to remain focused enough for the team to finally have a successful heist. When Ryan finally succumbs, Ray's 'last words' are "RYAN! NO!! YOU BASTARDS!" The worst part? The entire scene is set to slow, mournful piano music. (Once again, Played for Laughs.)
  • Geoff responds with "NOT RYAN!"
  • Michael had been planning for them to die from the start; the police just made his job easier. And Geoff? He was in on it too. Except in the end, he was betrayed, too.
• The fallout between Gavin and Team Lads after the former's incompetence in Let's Play Grand Theft Auto IV: "Cops 'n Crooks Part 3". This wasn't the typical "God dammit Gavin!" you're accustomed to. From this video all the way to Episode 63 of Let's Play Minecraft, it honestly seemed like Michael and Ray were truly sick and tired of Gavin's failures and legitimately hated him.
• "The Grand Heist" episode of Let's Play Grand Theft Auto V: Right after Ray's Heroic Sacrifice to defend their escape, the Fake AH Crew make their way to Mount Chiliad, almost finishing the heist off with only one loss... only for an act of god (the Titan being unable to fly any higher, making it buck down) causing them to crash into a police helicopter and kills the whole team.
• The end of "GO! #56": Instead of getting a pizza party, Jack is given a printed out picture of a pizza. After being told he can't redeem it for a real one, he crumples it and puts it in his mouth. The last shot of the episode (after "sharing" some with Ryan) is him looking into the camera, paper in mouth. And then comes the next episode, where they call back to that scene by cutting to said shot, in monochrome, with sad music playing.
• The Let's Play Minecraft episode that aired (to the public) on Ray's last day is called "Brown Out" and is, basically, a trip down memory lane about Ray's victories, with casual conversation all the way. It ends with Ray being sent into the mysterious tunnel between Michael and Gavin's houses, while everyone is silent, after they all said their goodbyes and he has roses in hand. And then the remaining five demolish his house.
  BrownMan has left the game.
• The ending to The Trojan Bar Heist. Michael is the only one still standing, and after driving the police vehicle he tried to get away in into the water, he sounds legitimately panicked as he tries to get his dead friends to say something. Played for Laughs when Geoff bursts out laughing.
• In Dead by Daylight Part 3, Geoff is attempting to rescue Jeremy during the third round and, just as he reaches him and goes to pull him off, Jeremy is gutted and killed. Both Jeremy and Geoff were stunned by the turn of events.
• While also very funny, the Let's Play - Destiny 2: Leviathan Raid - Emperor Calus (Finale) does get fairly sad during the crew's darkest point. Seeing these friends we've watched play games for years viciously attacking other can be rather rough. Thankfully, Michael, for once playing the Team Dad, assures the audience that they're still good friends (despite Geoff's assertion that they're "definitely...coworkers.")
• While played for laughs, in "7 Days to Die: Mysterious Sign (#11)" Gavin and Jack made it their mission to get to the top of a tall building, and while they made progress, at one point they encountered a horde of Zombies and split up to get away. Gavin made the unfortunate mistake of swinging his axe at a Barrel while battling a zombie and it exploded, killing him instantly. Jack, in Horror, Cried out his name.
• While also pretty funny at the same time, after forty one episodes of sky factory, the team accidentally destabilize a Draconic Reactor causing the whole world to explode. Made all the more poignant when Gavin asks if everyone remembers when the world used to be one tree.
• At the end of A Way Out, both Michael and Gavin are very reluctant to fight each other. Michael gets the gun in the final gameplay sequence and initially refuses to shoot Gavin, in the hope that there's an option to spare him and/or an ending where they both make it out alive. There isn't. Michael later states that he was actually angry that the game forced him to kill Gavin's character.
