5 - The Simpsons - "Lisa's Substitute"
While this episode is immensely overrated, and while other episodes like "Moaning Lisa", "Life on the Fast Lane", "Bart Gets an F", "'Round Springfield", "Lisa on Ice" and "Marge's Son Poisoning" are pretty much just as emotional at times, "Lisa's Substitute" does feature some of the truest emotion in the series' history.
4 - Blackadder - "Goodbyeee..."
I grew up watching Season 3 of this great show, so I only saw this episode in the last two years or so, and I was amazed. I thought this was just a light-hearted comedy, but this episode proved that it's more than that. I'm mainly referring to the final scene of the show, which is surprisingly poignant, and involves Blackadder, Baldrick, and George over the top for "The big push" and getting shot.
3 - The Ren and Stimpy Show - "Stimpy's First Fart"
"Uhh, Mr. Starman? I have a crazy friend who says an episode about a fart can't be emotional. Is he crazy?" "Nooo, just ignorant. You see your crazy friend never heard of "Great storytelling and art direction".
I had never seen this episode until I bought the DVD. After watching it, I knew immediately that it was my favourite episode of all time, and it still is to this day. It features to most visually beautiful, powerful animation I've ever seen on a TV show. It's emotional because...it just is. Stimpy feels empty without his...*ahem*...fart. When the episode revisits the scene in the first episode where Stimpy's at the door and Ren opens it is one of my favourite moments on the show.
2 - Friends - "The Last One"
This episode made me cry by simply knowing my favourite live-action show in the world is coming to an end forever. In a way, it's even more emotional than 'Jurassic Bark'.
1 - Futurama - "Jurassic Bark"
Before seeing this, I didn't think it was possible to make a cartoon emotional. It's features undoubtedly the truest emotion ever featured in a television show. I rank it as high as my favourite Simpsons episode for simply being so powerful in every way.
