I cried when The Office was over, because thank fuck I never have to watch that awful show again. The UK office was way funnier.

Real answer, none.
 
MASH - 'Abyssinia, Henry'

"I have a message. Lieutenant Colonel Henry Blake's plane was shot down over the Sea of Japan. It spun in ... there were no survivors."

I heard somewhere that this was almost entirely improvised, which is incredible.

People always post this one, but I feel this isn't even the most tearjerking scene in the show. I feel this one is:

"You are my son, Will."

I love this scene. its' so powerful. It even makes Uncle Phil's action when Will's dad shows up even more powerful. I actually shed tears just watching it making this post.

Buffy - The Body

Was not expecting that.

Yep. I came here to post that.

When I rewatched the series with my fiance two years ago that episode hit me like a sledgehammer.
My mother had died a few weeks before and I found her body sprawled on the setee much like Joyce was, I broke her ribs trying to perform CPR and could empathise with Buffy as she stood there useless while the paramedics tried their best and while she tried to stay strong for Dawn just as I tried to be strong for my sister.
The entire episode is very well done, the use of silence, audio distortion and dream like wishing/hallucinations illustrate the disconnect you feel at moments like that.

Before that, the finale of Battle Star Galactica (reimagined).
Sending Galactica to die in the sun, after all she has gone through, followed by the rest of the surviving float

I remember reading an interview with Katee Sackoff where she said when asked about what happened to Starbuck? In her mind,
when she disappeared, she went to sit next to Sam aboard the Galactica as they went into the sun.
I'm getting misty just thinking about that and can't see that scene otherwise now.

That part in Season 5 where you see
Dukie shooting heroin with the street merchant and ending up just like Bubbles
that fucked me up entirely for hours

I hated what they did to Dukie. He had the most promise of all the kids.

I've shed a tear or 3 at Greys Anatomy.

When O'Malley Dies

When they pull the plug on Sloane
 
The finale of Battlestar Galactica got me pretty good. Especially that one Baltar scene..

"You know...I know about farming..."

The night "Goodbye, Michael" aired on The Office season 7. I was actually okay for the most part but then he gets to the airport and says "It feels so good to be able to finally take this off" and takes off his microphone and hands it to the documentary crew, says "That's what she said" but you don't hear it and says goodbye and my eyes actually welled up.
 
The Wire, but not because of some specifically tragic thing, but instead because of how beautiful, honest, and tragic the entire show, and by extension life, is.
 
Steven Universe - Mindful Education

This episode is very personal to me, as I battle with anxiety & depression on & off. I constantly find myself overthinking things, replaying situations in my mind over and over again to relive the stuff that went wrong. I even stop myself from doing things by running through the plethora of "what if" situations that could be the outcome. The entire sequence of self reflection for both Connie and Steven portrayed this so well.

The point is, this episode does a good job saying that it’s okay to acknowledge negative thoughts and emotions, but just letting them pass rather than allowing them any power over you. Keeping the mind calm and focused. Breathing in, breathing out, grounding yourself in your surroundings. It's a skill that can be trained and practiced -- something you can get better at -- and works wonders on things like self-control.

I think Connie said it best:

“You have to be honest with yourself about how bad it feels so you can move on.”
 
Never cried but in recent memory I got really choked up on:

GOT S5 EP10 (
Jon's Death
) and S6 E5 (you know why).

Flash S2 EP21 (
Barry interacting with his mum is just an emotional rollercoaster man
) and then you hear "Run Barry, run". Too much.
 
Not cry but the shows that made me emotinally devasted.

times in season 2 of Leftovers

A lot of thing with the kids in the wire Especially this moment:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ClTuBXqQ24

This why Season 4 is one of my favorites it's heartbreaking.

Legend of Korra and Steven Universe got me too.

Also The machine in person of interest for a couple of times got me emotional
 
Buffy - bunch of different episodes
Angel finale - "Would you like me to lie to you now?" *sobs*
Doctor Who - final episode of S2

Recent one - W: Two Words (Korean drama)
 
Futurama Luck of the Fryrish, as soon as the Simple Minds song started, like a waterfall.

Never before and never again not even during Jurassic Bark, Game of Tones was close, but this episode was special.
 
Where do you think we are?

I guess... My dad was just a funnier person than he led on.

Not leaving, no. Moving on.
 
Nothing ever makes me cry but I do get in a depressive slump sometimes. Gravity Falls last 10 minutes hit me hard and a bunch of scenes from the office.
 
The episode of Beast Wars: Transformers called "Code of Hero."

Basically
Dinobot, one of the best characters in the show, sacrifices himself for the greater good. What makes this even more meaningful is he started off as a bad guy, switched to the good guys, and had to deal with that conflict for his entire time in the series.
