Tear Jerker / Dorkly Originals

Go To

  • Rattata Reunion starts out heartwarming, but it becomes this when Red forces Gerald to kill Mike.
  • The ending of Tails Can’t Die is both this and hilarious.
  • Voltorb Doesn't Want to Die. It's self-explanatory.
  • Smoke's Not Doing Well basically has Smoke commit Suicide by Cop, via fatality, to end his smoke diseased life.
  • Earthbound Photographer's Surprise. Said photographer is gunned down in cold blood by two police officers despite being unarmed, and Ness not only sees the whole thing but is close enough to get covered in the photographer's blood. Look closely at Ness' facial features during this scene; to call this traumatic would be an understatement. And to make matters that much worse the police only did this to protect the poor boy; the photographer is implied in the video to have done terrible things.
  • Bowser Wants A Gun. The video has Bowser shoot one of his minions in the legs three times for making useless guns. Though it's pretty justifiable...
    Bowser: There... were hundreds of your WORTHLESS guns on my kids' airships! HUNDREDS! And Mario got past all of them! Literally all of my children are DEAD, JERRY! BECAUSE OF YOUR SHODDY WORK!
  • Plants vs. Zombies Walnut Gets Bitten. Kind of heartbreaking when you have to mercy kill the guy who was used as a shield against an invading horde of zombies.
  • What Really Happens When Mario Destroys Castles will most likely make you feel awful about all those castles destroyed in Super Mario World. We see two troopas casually having a conversation before the castle starts collapsing with one going to the daycare center and the other attempting to bail before finding a fellow troopa stuck under rubble. Both of them perform a Heroic Sacrifice with the green one jumping out the window after telling the kids in the daycare to land on him while the red one saves the stuck troopa before suffocating from the smoke. The Mood Whiplash at the end with Mario doesn't help.
  • Sub-Zero Stays Dizzy. Scorpion just inadvertently gives Sub-Zero a fate worse than a Fatality by refusing to kill him; His doctor says he'll never recover from his dizziness, causing him to lose his job and wife before committing suicide.
  • Luigi's Bad Day has poor Luigi completely despondent after losing the Match Three game in a Toad House, crying about how Mario gets everything and he has nothing. The Toad tries to make him feel better with a custom power-up made from the three incorrect matches, but it backfires completely and makes him trip out and spew poison.
  • The End of Dorkly? showcases what's happening in the Dorkly universe, with Scyther futilely suggesting ideas on keeping the channel alive while Red brings up the consequences, with multiple characters being ravaged by the in-universe apocalypse. Eventually, both of them embrace death, with Red calling Scyther his friend.
  • Sonic Wasn't Fast Enough starts with Sonic and Tails arriving to free the animals from one of Eggman's capsules, only to make a grisly discovery; namely, that a lone Flicky ate all the others in a bid of desperation.
    Sonic: WHY? WHY?!
    Flicky: We didn't think anyone was coming! You don't understand — you could never understand!!
    Sonic: It was less than two minutes!
    Flicky: TWO MINUTES TOO LATE! TWO MINUTES TOO LATE!!
    (The weight of his sins too much to bear, the Flicky takes out a handgun and shoots himself in the head. Sonic attempts to stop him, but fails.)
