Tear Jerker / Space Ghost Coast to Coast

• "Sharrock" (titled after and dedicated to Sonny Sharrock, who composed the opening, closing and some incidental music). The song that sounds near the ending of the episode (the "Ghost Planet Anthem") was recorded on one of his final jam sessions before passing away. Even the end credit logos are silent.
• Birdman. When he tries to run the show, on two occasions, he's portrayed as a very broken man who receives No Sympathy from anyone and breaks down from the pressure of failing.
• Brak's heartbroken reaction to seeing Space Ghost jealously react to his spin-off's success by deriding him and declaring him a talentless hack to Jack Black in Sweet for Brak.
• Some of Space Ghost's dialogue in "Terminal" veers into this, especially his opening speech to Zorak and Moltar. Though it's simultaneously amusing that it's cribbed almost verbatim from Terms of Endearment:

  Space Ghost: Will you listen especially close? I know you like me. I know it. For the last two years you've been pretending like you hate me. I love you very much. I love you as much as I love anybody. I, I love you as much as I love myself. In a few years when I haven't been around to be on your tail about something or irritating you, you're gonna remember. You're gonna remember the time I bought you the baseball glove, when you thought we were too broke. Or when I read you stories. When I let you goof off instead of mowing the lawn. Lots of things like that. And you're gonna realize that you loved me, and maybe you'll feel bad because you never told me. I know that you love me.

• On September 18th 2016, C. Martin Croker (Zorak & Moltar) passed away. That was sad enough, but then Adult Swim posted this image◊. Poor Space Ghost...
