Tear Jerker / Uncle Grandpa

Go To

  • There's one scene in the second half of "Bad Morning" where Uncle Grandpa finds Pizza Steve sulking in a diver's helmet. When he asks him what he's doing there, Pizza Steve says in a very sullen voice that it's where he goes to cry. This implies that despite his self-professed coolness, deep down inside, there is something really troubling him.
    • Confirmed in "Pizza Steve's Diary". He wishes he was more like Mr. Gus, though denies it after confessing to the dinosaur himself.
  • "Watermelon Gag". Usually the sad stuff happens when everything goes downhill in a "Rise and Fall to Fame" plot, but here it's present all over when Uncle Grandpa finds himself unable to speak when he gets a watermelon stuck in his mouth, to the delight of all who saw it, but the misery of him.
  • From "Internet Troll" Uncle Grandpa receives bad comments from an internet troll over a hot dog walk video.
  • In "Cake Mistake", Uncle Grandpa eats Pizza Steve's mother's cake for the second time right before Mr. Gus is able to write "Happy Birthday Mom With Love Pizza Steve" in it. Mr. Gus gets angry over it and tells Uncle Grandpa that when he thinks of that poor woman and what she must've gone through raising Pizza Steve and can't imagine what this will do to her tells. He then imagines Pizza Steve disrespectfully giving an empty box to his mother which cause the latter to cry and both Uncle Grandpa and Mr. Gus apologize and they cry harder followed by a hug.
