broke our collective hearts while some of these characters were resurrected the focus is specifically on the death scenes it should go without saying that spoilers will be unavoidable number 10 saralyn Bojack horseman isn't this place amazing totally starring a washed-up former sitcom star who happens to be an anthropomorphic horse Netflix's cartoon alternates between hilarious satire and

it's gonna be alright and is met with silence since Sara Lynn has quietly passed away from a drug overdose right Sara Lynn jerilyn number 9 Rebecca the elephant The Wild Thornberrys Rebecca decades prior to the present day Eliza's father saved Rebecca the elephant from a group of poachers motivating the ten-year-old girl to track her down years later for a heart-to-heart Rebecca I'm not sick child I'm just old over the years Rebecca has matured into an admirable leader and bred many calves who grew into fine elephants themselves but the animals journey has reached its end despite Eliza's pleas to stand back up the majestic beast lays down for the last time with just enough strength left to offer words of comfort and our times gone by thank you for reuniting me with my old friend number eight Ace Justice League Unlimited they got their weapon I got cheated out of my childhood a powerful psychic ace had a childhood defined by tragedy and isolation trained as a weapon by the government and then recruited by the Joker ace became alienated and bitter and her powers unstable and ever more dangerous now able to alter reality she faced imminent death in the episode epilogue due to a brain aneurysm her death scene marks arguably Batman's most human moment in DC's Animated universe he sat with her until her time came rather than putting her down as he's promised the Dark Knight agrees to sit with the frightened child until the metahumans flame burns out hey at least she wasn't turned into a stone statue like trouble teen Tara Markov number seven Rick and Morty Rick and Morty now Morty what do you say buddy will you hand me a screwdriver so I could finish my ionic to see eliezer dad Harmon and Justin Royal uns crazy sci-fi animated sitcom refuses to do anything by the book and this mantra extends to life's greatest mystery forced to relocate to an alternate reality after unwittingly releasing a virus that leaves the world's population disfigured and obsessed with Morty the central duo trades places with their recently deceased counterparts of a different universe here's a screwdriver all right Morty thank you very much I got one screw turn and two screw turns arriving mere seconds after the pair's gruesome deaths Rick and a visibly shaken Morty bury the corpses before slipping into this universe undetected alongside the unabashedly grim visuals the scene perfectly encapsulates the cartoons nihilistic themes number six pops Regular Show blending the mundane with the epic Regular Show launched its cast through an unbelievable amount of character development over the cartoons eight-year run with the fate of the universe on the line the finale pivots around a showdown between pops and the kind-hearted characters evil twin brother culminating in a glorious mecha fight and a bittersweet resolution Hugh and I together brother recognizing certain disputes cannot be solved with a knock to the face Pop's uses the power of hugs to reconnect with auntie pops and the siblings sail off into the Sun Pop's claims this is a happy ending but our tears were not tears of joy number five Oishi Samurai Jack aw shoot kickin off with the master of darkness moulding earth into a hellscape Samurai Jack is a relentlessly gloomy cartoon the original series has more than its fair share of heartbreaking moments but still nothing could prepare anyone for Adult Swim's one season revival as the daughter of aku ah she was born specifically to turn Jack into mincemeat but the two fall in love and bring about the villains downfall but since they've traveled back in time to before ah she was born aku's death wipes a she from existence just as the couple is about to Wed without a cou I would have never existed No number four Kenny South Park kitty cat died dying in nearly every episode of the first few seasons his particular boy is intimately familiar with the Grim Reaper after turning his demise into a running gag South Park took a different approach with the season 5 episode Kenny dies portraying the characters permanent or at least semi-permanent death the episode had the terminally ill Kenny passing away in a hospital room rather than treating the moment as a punchline Kyle and to some extent Cartman mourn their friend's untimely departure eventually South Park would bring Kenny back but the kid stopped dying quite as frequently no he just just stopped breathing it was over number 3 Brian Family Guy Brian without Family Guy relies heavily on shock humour but there was nothing funny about life of Brian the victim of a hit-and-run the Griffin family dog suffers horrible life-threatening injuries pulling absolutely no punches Family Guy depicts the fatal collision in vivid detail the vet can't save him and surprisingly enough there's nothing tongue-in-cheek about the painful farewell scene with Brian telling the family he loves them as they break down into tears you've given me a wonderful life I love you all at the funeral we get a few quick jokes but also a moment of rare sincerity from the grieving Peter it was like a brother to me and I'm gonna spend the rest of my life missing him number two Maude Flanders the Simpsons some characters bow out gracefully Maude Flanders was not one of them while attending the opening of a new racetrack Maude falls off the bleachers after being hit with a wayward shirt to add insult to injury assistance fails to arrive in time due to Homer parking in the ambulance tone admittedly death by shirt is not the most dignified way to go out but nevertheless mods crushing demise destroys Ned and the boys minor characters had and continue to be axed off by the Simpsons but Maude marked the first time a regular member was permanently cut Maude was always there and we thought she always would be before our number one pick here are some honorable mentions [Music] no please number one Seymour the dog Futurama I'm gonna get my Bubbe back in your face Grim Reaper consider yourself a dog lover then we recommend having a box of tissues handy for this next one prior to falling into a cryogenic tube and sleeping through the next millennium fry found and adopted a stray mutt named Seymour asses I'll never forget him but he forgot me a long long time ago bonding over a mutual love for pizza the dog grew quite fond of fry and would obey any command without exception learning that Seymour lived to the ripe old age of 15 fry assumes the dog must have found a new owner in reality the loyal dog spent the next 12 years waiting outside pannu cheese pizza for fried to return do you agree with our picks check out these other great clips from WatchMojo and be sure to subscribe and ring the bell to be notified about our latest videos [Music]
