The SADDEST Simpsons Moments That Made Us Cry 

*sniff* We're not crying. You're crying.

Bart gets an F. "No, you don't understand! I really tried this time! I really tried! This is as good as I can do, and I still failed!"

When the kids go to camp and Lisa listens to a recording of Marge singing "You are my sunshine." 😢

When Homer gets Lisa a new saxophone with a carved message on it. I feel that moment is underrated

What about Moe saving Maggie’s life seconds before killing himself? “Life don’t seem so hard anymore.” (Moe’s Baby Blues)

Bart gets an F will always make me cry 😭😭😭

you left out the context of maggie's first word she said daddy because they whole episode lisa and bart kept calling him homer and he was trying to get them to call him dad instead

My most emotional was Lisa's first word : Bart. He feels so unloved and unwanted because Lisa is born that he feels heartbroken and feels it's best to just leave...Until Lisa her self proves that SHE loves him so much that his name is first word. I'm the youngest of three. One boys two girls I. The same order like them...And my brother died ten years ago...so this leaves me feeling that pain/love. And it makes me feel the same love for Bart as for my brother...because when it really counts they show their love.

"at least I'm awake this time to see you say goodbye" Fuck sake man now I'm crying thanks Homer.

The death of Homer's mother. When he comes downstairs to apologise for being a jerk, she has "fallen asleep" in an armchair. He's gone to some effort to make an apology card. When he sees she's apparently asleep, he asks, "Why are your eyes still open?" Gut punch. Ned Flanders is newly a widower. Homer puts him to bed and, despite their history, kisses him on the forehead. It's that moment of empathy, and we sense that Homer can clearly imagine how he'd be feeling if it had been Marge. In a later episode, Ned is ready to move on, and finally straightens the undersheet on the bed so that Maude's indentation no longer shows. Milhouse has a birthday party. Not only is Bart not invited, Bart doesn't even know about it. When he finds out... Flashback episode when Bart is resentfully aware he's going to have a sister. He imagines her as a generic baby. When Lisa actually arrives, I choked up. The Flowers For Algernon episode when it's discovered Homer's lack of intelligence is due to having a crayon up his nose. Lisa is delighted to have an intelligent father for a while. Later, when Homer reverts, and Lisa hugs him, really loving her father the way he is, but aware now of the father she could have had but never will. I cannot re-watch this episode; as soon as I realise it's the one with the crayon, I have to change channel or switch off. Futurama moments: Fry's dog, and the one where Fry's mother is given a dream of her lost son.

I cannot lie when mrs. Crabapple passes away I cried, and felt bad for ned Flanders.

Lisa’s Wedding. When Homer tells Lisa how he really feels about her before she gets married... ‘You’re my greatest accomplishment...’ as a father of two girls that like slays me. I’m welling up just writing it.

When Homer's mother dies in his livingroom after he was mad at her

The saddest moment is when Homer has to work at the Kwik-e-mart to pay for Lisa's pony. In the end he quits. " He slept, he stole, he was rude to the customers! But there goes the best dam employee a convenience store has ever had."

"You are Lisa Simpson" is the most beautiful moment of this show. I loved it because of the subtlety and the power behind the message. It makes me cry every time lol

Maggie's first word is even more heart wrenching when you learn that Homer wanted to be called Daddy, but none of the other kids called him that.

for me the saddest part was when lisa found out that marge was a straight A student but ended up as a housewife after she met homer-the pain in marges eyes when she found out that her own daughter wants to be nothing like her broke my heart

Homer writing the letter to Lisa right before putting the Crayon back in his Brain. The whole episode where Grandpa's girlfriend dies and he feels alone without her. The first episode where Homer finds out his mom is alive and then she has to go on the run.. Maggie's First Word. The birth of Maggie and finding out why there aren't any pictures of Maggie around.

When Homer says "Goodnight my little porkchop" to Maggie

The saddest part was when Ned was sitting at his chair (wearing a black armband), thinking of Edna when Nelson appears at his window "Ha - ha.......(sadly)I miss her too".

Id say the 3 most touching moments in the simpsons are: 3-when homer stares at the stars, sitting on his car, when his mother left him (again); 2-when maggie calls him daddy and he isnt even there to see it; 1-The ''Do It For Her'' screenshot. These are the 3 moments where you see that despite his flaws, Homer is a good person with a good heart.

"Do it for her" is the best. And I still didn't watch this video.

When Grandpa Simpson's girlfriend died....that hit hard.

Honorary Mention for me: Bart the Mother. When Bart tries to flee with his lizards that the whole town wants to kill. He is confronted by Marge and Bart breaks down and says "Everyone thinks they are monsters, but I raised them and I love them. I know it's hard to understand..." And Marge replies "Not as hard as you think." And she lets him flee, but he returns and kisses her before he finally runs off. I thought that was so sweet. It is an easy parallel to Bart. Everyone sees him as a lost cause, but Marge sees with a mother's heart. It makes me tear up every time lol

For me, the episode "Bart gets an 'F'" gets a spot. As a high school repeat student myself, I could relate to how Bart felt when he cried that he tried giving his everything during his final exam but still end up failing. To late bloomers like myself, we learn how to be more resilient than others

When Bart sold his soul to Millhouse. When Lisa bought it back for him. I cry every time

One episode that (surprisingly) packed an emotional wallop for me was the one in which Homer's bartender, Moe, started a romantic relationship with a "little person." She broke up with him because she felt he was insensitive about her height. The sad irony was, he was VERY sensitive about her height, and had gone out of his way to avoid hurting her feelings even slightly. When SHE started making fun of her height, he naturally felt the ice had been broken. Then he planned to salvage his relationship with her by undergoing surgery to become a little person himself, but this offended her even more. In the end, Moe is supposed to feel grateful that he got the chance to temporarily have a girlfriend at all...as if that's supposed to ease the pain of breaking up with someone you love.

what about the ice hockey match between lisa and bart, when they reminisce at the count down of the final score point

Flanders: "Sure do miss that laugh" Nelson: "Ha-Ha...I miss her too"

i love Simpsons especially when they predict stuff.

As stupid as Homer is and for all his failings in life, he remains a loving husband and devoted family man. That it his redeeming quality. He never cheats on Marge and he's always willing to make sacrifices for his kids.

“Move over Jasper, I’ve got a date with an angel”. “...Damn right you are, Abe”.

Notice they're all from the old seasons. Those were the best ones. These new ones suck.

Lisa's Wedding. "They're my family, I LOVE them! And I don't think you understand that."

The one where Marge buys herself a really nice dress and then changes it up to fit in with the fancy moms. The last time when she was adjusting it she got upset at Lisa and then ended up ruining the dress. Then when they were all going to the party she saw how sad the rest of her family was and then ended up not going because her family's happiness was more important. I never understood this episode until I became a mom but it hits me so hard.

For me it's when Homer and Lisa go in sensory deprivation tanks and Lisa sees things from her dad's perspective, and how much he was trying to connect with her. That episode helped me reevaluate my relationship with my own dad, who I often struggled to understand or bond with as a child.

“Your my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when sky’s are grey, but you don’t know dear how munch I love you. Please don’t take my sunshine away”- Marge Simpson

Some honorable mentions that come to mind: “Like Father Like Clown” - the episode where Krusty meets his father. “Marge Be Not Proud” - Bart steals the video game Bonestorm around Christmas time. The scene where he’s trying to surprise the family with a photograph he had taken on his own is the best part! “Summer of 4” - the Simpsons rent a summer beach house and vacation there. Bart tries to embarrass Lisa in front of her new friends, feels guilty, and makes it up to her in a great way. “Home Sweet Homediddly-Dum-Doodily” - Bart, Lisa, and Maggie get adopted by the Flanders. Love reading the other comments and remembering old Simpsons episodes!

One Simpsons episode I think is massively overlooked is the season 3 episode Separate Vocations in which Bart and Lisa take the school’s personality test to see which career path is best suited for them and the results basically have them in reversed roles for the episode. Now while it is great to see Bart find his way to potentially becoming a Police Officer with a possible future, it is devastating to see Lisa give in to apathy and self destruction after she’s told that she would only function as a homemaker, rendering all her talent, intellect and nonconformity meaningless. I’m not gonna say what Bart does for Lisa at the end of that episode, but I’ll just say it truly leaves me baffled that this episode doesn’t get talked about more

- When Homer's mom leaves the first time - Maggie's first word - Homer's letter to Lisa after the crayon operation

Moment of silence for all the yellow fellows that passed on

When Lisa needed a new reed for her saxophone for a school public presentation. Homer was resonsible of getting it and instead of going and get it immediately he chooses to go for a beer at Moe's...when he finally gets to the school Lisa is playing a broken sax that sounds horrible and Skinner tries to get her off the stage as fast as possible (actually that whole episde is sad, Homer buying Lisa's love with a horse and working a second job to keep the horse and Lisa giving up the horse before the two jobs kill Homer)

When Homer’s mother left it broke me because I don’t know what I would do without my mum

I remember watching the episode "And Maggie Makes Three" and crying while staring at the plaque with pictures of Maggie covering up the message "don't forget you're here forever" and making it say "do it for her". I could never comprehend what it must feel like to go back to a job you hate to support a child that wasn't planned. It is so unfortunate for Homer to be in that situation but to see that message "do it for her" shows that he does but his kids before himself. He's just misunderstood because of his unstable childhood.

Holy cow I just looked at that list homer made in the blowfish episode - seeing the 'make a video tape for Maggie' absolutely crushed me, as well as 'make peace with dad'. Homer has so much heart.

Two of the very first times I cried to television, in general, are missing: These are: 1) The reminiscing of Lisa and Bart's love for each other over the years as brother and sister at the end of the hockey game in "Lisa on Ice"

No "Old Money"??? Why??? That episode truly hit me hard. Bea's death was devastating and also ends in such a beautiful way with a dining hall in her memorial for the elders so they have at least a proper treatment in their last days.

Lisa on ice. When Bart and Lisa play hockey against each other and they have flashbacks of when they were young. They suddenly stopped playing and skated on the ice together.

Lol

The one where lisa thinks bart doesnt love her anymore and he end up showing the mural in his bike garage

WAIT A MINUTE! Wheres bongo?! This is one of the most emotional episodes with the song "me and my arrow"!

It's hard to say what the saddest is because there are so many moments of The Simpsons, but one that always kind of struck me was when Homer wrote Lisa a letter stating how he had the best time with her being smart and reading books and how much he will always love her when he had to put the crayon back in his brain to make him stupid again because being smart was costing him. And it was for the best for him but he knew it would devastate Lisa.

The episode where Lisa loves her teacher always gets me going. I'll always watch that episode and I'll always wipe away the tears at the end. That's what I consider a great Simpsons episode

Scenes from the class struggle in Springfield... the part when the sewing machine ruins Marge's dress... saddest moment for me. The hopelessness and dejection in her voice and on her face was so heartbreaking.

All things considered, it was really nice of Mr. Burns to let Homer have his job back. Sure, he put that plaque up, but Homer assaulted him, humiliated him, AND destroyed company property (literally burning a bridge). If he really wanted Homer to suffer, he would've shooed him away.

Homer's mom leaving made me cry so much. I lost my mom almost 10 years ago and that episode hit me really bad.

the most touching moment to me is from Lisa on ice when Bart and Lisa remember something sweet that the other one did for each other when they were younger and then they hug each other. while it might not be the most sad moment it's still touching to see

when lisa see her friend whale die the next morning (this one broke my heart)

I cried in the episode where Bart cries because he fails his test

*Do It For Her* always hits me 😥😭

Okay, the bit where Homer and his mom say goodbye to each other, I started tearing up. And now I want to call my mom.

MAUD: Congratulations on your new job, Homer. HOMER: New job?? Marge is pregnant!! *girlish shrill* *gaah!* *runs up stairs*. BART(present): Geez! Homer, you took that news like a little girl. Haha!! I loved that reaction.

One of my favorites is titled, "Old Money." Grandpa Simpson's friend Bea passes away leaving him her fortune. Despite spending some of the money on himself, he doesn't find any fulfillment, so he decides to use it to help others. He goes gambling and increases the fortune, but then sees his fellow residents at the retirement home living miserably. So he spends the money renovating the home, culminating in a lovely dining hall named in Bea's memory. It concludes when Grandpa opens the doors, inviting the residents in saying, "C'mon in! Dignity's on me, friends!"

Homer putting back the pencil in his nose to remain stupid because he feels bad for being smart and leaving a note to Lisa was pretty intense too...

the bleeding gums one always got me, absolutely crippling scene D ' :

To Cur With Love. The picture of Homer's childhood dog Bingo laying on his Itchy and Scratchy sweatshirt I lost it.

The feels were amplified by 1000 watching "do it for her" after having a daughter myself. Tears

The saddest episode was when Mr. Bernstrong left on the train and have Lisa the note that read, "You are Lisa Simpson"!!

Fun Fact: IN the episode "Smart and Smarter" Marge writes on a piece of paper "You are Lisa Simpson" when Lisa is upset that Maggie has a higher IQ than Lisa but then Lisa goes on to say she already has one of those showing a frame with a note with the same words on it and a picture of Mr.BurgStrom so basically Lisa never forgot about Mr.BurgStrom

In before someone quips that their saddest Simpsons moment is when the show stopped being funny at [x] season....

Those final "goodbyes" from One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish is just... it means something else if you've gone through the pain of losing someone close. Life is finite, you only have a certain amount of time on this planet, and to see something like the end of that time represented is scary and saddening, even in a cartoon. If you've gone through those goodbyes with someone else, then you'll cry near instantly.

The moment bart tells lisa how everyone died was sad.

I still love the older episodes of the Simpsons

How comes that nobody mention that bart is a chemie genius, but he is mistreated from his father und ignort by his family? Actually the whole family is a tragedy: Homer is a genius but he has a pen in his brain Bart is a chemistry genius Lisa is an all round genius Magie... she can comunicate with animals if only half of Homers grandpas stories are true than he is a war hero and an explorer like indiana johns Homers grandmother was something too... And Marge was an all round genius like lisa but tosed it away for homer... That is truly sad

The moment that always gets me is the Valentines episode where they show Ralph giving everyone in his class a valentine, they all shake out their bags producing dozens of valentines, then you see Ralph, shaking his bag, then sadly looking in it to the realization that no one has given him even one valentine. Even a friend Valentine! He starts to cry and buries his head to hide his tears at being the only one singled out so harshly. Lisa erases her name from one of her cards and gives it to Ralph. Unfortunately he reacts by falling desperately for her. Ralph is more then a little dim, it's true, but he is a sweet kid who never hurt anyone, and it makes me cry when he cries in this episode

Bart: "So why no pictures?" Homer: "Oh there are pictures, I keep them where I need the most cheering up." (Maggie Makes Three) I love that scene, definitely one of the best endings along with, Maggies first word Mona leaving in the van

These are Some of the few videos that make me cry everytime 😭😭😭

Do it for her 😭 , RIP mrs k 😔, Santa’s little helper 😢

My lachrymose moments of "The Simpsons": 1. The death of Maude Flanders. 2. Bea Simmons passes at the senior center. 3. Lisa's sub,Mr. Bergstrom leaves Springfield. 4. Milhouse Van Houten's romance to Samantha Stankey broken up. (Bart was responsible.) 5. Bart breaking up with Greta Wolfcastle. 6. Bart decapitating the statue of Jebediah Springfield. 7. Marge kicking Homer out of the house after he was seen in a picture of him dancing with Princess Kashmir. (Bart took the picture.) 8. Milhouse's parents choosing to divorce without telling him about it (they subsequently remarried). 9. Homer's mom is alive, yet she was gone for a long time. (She subsequently died) 10. The first time Homer was fired from SNPP, and it ironically happened when Bart was on a field trip.

"remember, you have a mother and she's truly proud of you" as she runs off only days after reuniting with her son and finally giving him something he has been missing his entire life... if that doesn't draw at least half a tear out, i don't know what will

My first episode was when bleeding gums Murphy past away. My next was lisa's substitute.

The ending of Mother Simpson was really sad and so was Lisa's Substitute especially when Lisa says goodbye to Mr. Bergstrom.

I think a sad moment is when Homer's Mother leaves a special note in a crossword puzzle

When Homer’s mother died I sped a tear. “Mama, are you sleeping? Your sleeping with your eyes open? Mama?

Damn, I was tearing up so much after Homer's "Death" this show hits so much to my heart and I'll always love it

#7 is me and my wife, so this did hit home for me. At the moments when I feel at my lowest and have no more confidence in myself, she's there to comfort and strengthen me amid my vulnerability, instead of deride me or think lesser of me.

The saddest moment in The Simpsons was in the episode 'Hom-r' when it turns out the only reason Homer is an idiot is because there's a crayon in his brain. He has the crayon removed and becomes much smarter and hangs out more with his daughter, Lisa. After realizing he's too smart for everyone around him, he has the crayon put back in after writing Lisa a letter about how becoming smart made him realize how great she was. That episode always gets me

Don't talk about Lisa's substitute, don't talk about Lisa's substitute teacher, don't talk about Lisa's- *talks about the teacher and the message he gave her* I'm not crying, you are. That message he gave her helped me realize who I am, and that I'm something.

I got tissues if you need it

When that nerd pulled the plug on the TV set when Scratchy was about to get his revenge on Itchy.

The most emotional one for me is Lisa's first word how Bart felt unwanted and how Lisa and Bart became so close but at the end when Maggie says daddy it really topped it off ♥

I remember as a kid thinking about how sad the Maggie speaks scene was but I didnt understand why it made me feel like that. Now as an adult, I understand it more and it honestly makes me tear up. Its a beautiful sadness that hits hard

*Tbh the one that made me cry was the Michael Jackson one when it was Lisa's birthday idk why though it's also my favorite episode*

Lets be honest homer's mother was the most saddest based on the last goodbye

When Homer's mom says goodbye to Homer when he was asleep really just melted my heart

"A Totally Fun Thing That Bart Will Never Do Again" Season 23 Episode 19. I really think this was also one of the greatest and deepest Episodes ever, even if it was the "Zombie" Simpsons. Barts last sentence was heartwarming

You know this show was good when they show the good old moments of the Simpsons what we call them the golden moments ❤️😭 If only the Simpsons ended when it needed to end and not milk it smh!

BARNEY:It ssstarts! That short line made me and my brothers laugh so hard cause we knew what he was referring to.

Just found this channel. Great stuff. The episode that always hits me the hardest (besides do it for her, I mean c'mon that unbeatable.) Is Barthood. Like that shit messed me up. Maybe its just because I relate to hard. Bart and grandpa simpsons relationship is great, showing that homer wants to connect with bart but doesn't know how, Bart's resentment, the emotional resolution with lisa and bart at the end. Love it

I always feel like tearing up for Do it For her in the episode about maggie being born. its really a good scene to show homer as a father who just wants the best for his children
