Tear Jerker / The Proud Family

• "The Party" has Penny running to her room and crying because her own friends didn't come to her party. Trudy doesn't help by showing No Sympathy to Penny and ordering her to come back downstairs. Lou Rawls does a better job by singing to Penny that You Are Not Alone and she has people who care about her.
• “Culture Shock” can hit a little close to home for any Pakistani viewers.
• "Penny Potter": Oscar's relationship with Sista Spice is heartbreaking. When Sista Spice first appears, it looks like he has a better relationship with her than with Suga Mama, with Sista Spice being kind and supporting to Oscar and Oscar welcoming her into his home with open arms. When Sista Spice reveals she could not get a place to do her show, Oscar offers to let her use his Proud Snax Parking lot for free, then Sista Spice offers to make it a business deal, and he happily agrees, hugging her and wishing she was his mother. Then it's revealed she plans to swindle Oscar for money. She also outright confirms that she never loved Oscar, telling Suga Mama, "If I don't like you, why would I like your son?" But then you have tears of joy when Suga Mama proves how much she loves Oscar, and they share a moment where she tells him, "Sometimes, I don't like you, but I will always love you - remember that."
• The ending of "Wedding Bell Blues", when Clarence's son Maxwell interrupts the wedding and explains that his father has Alzheimer's and had disappeared from their home, so he can't marry Suga Mama after all. You just wanna give her a hug.
  • The hardest part is, it's Sugar Mama who has to break off the wedding herself. She could've gone through with the marriage and lived happily ever after (if for a short while). But it's with a heavy heart that she does what's best for Clarence for the both of them.
  • After Maxwell appears and explains the situation, Suga Mama asks Clarence if he's already married; Clarence quietly replies "No, no. I'm, uh... I'm a widower." That seems to be one detail he hasn't forgotten.
  • As Clarence leaves he asks Suga Mama, who looks much different after getting into shape, to say goodbye to Suga for him. He wasn't even aware he was talking to the latest woman he had fallen for.
  Suga Mama: (sadly) Goodbye Clarence.
• "Puff's Magic Adventure" when Puff goes missing and Suga Mama is outright devastated. What's worse is that it's all Penny, Oscar, and Trudy's fault!
• "Tween Town": When Penny sees the photos of her parents and Suga Mama, the kids all begin to miss their parents terribly and start crying. Even the Gross Sisters were crying too, showing their more sensitive side.
