So Unbelievably Sad

''Oh, geez. It's this UnTrash again. Get the world's smallest violin ready.''

An UnTrash that makes its best effort that making the audience Cry With Onions. It's not one to mess around at what it does, using any Dirty Tricks at its disposal. Orphans, puppies and kittens, lonesomeness, ignorance to the evil of the world, injury, disease (more effective if fatal), and more are deployed to play on how desperate a situation is. So Unbelievably Sad is similar to Jerk The Tears, only that UnTrash targets in-universe characters and not the audience. This unsavory breed of Emotional Manipulation is more of an Eye Roll UnTrash than its in-universe counterpart. The audience doesn't care for the creator making blatant attempts at moving them with overcooked UnTrashes and Sob Stories.

Rather than encouraging the audience feel for the disadvantaged characters, So Unbelievably Sad summons a chorus of groans. The absent subtlety in the UnTrash stinks up the scene to make it known the audience is meant to be touched. It regularly backfires on creators who have no respect for the art of low-profile writing. Melodrama is the name of the game here, which So Unbelievably Sad takes to the extreme. As previously stated, the UnTrash is comfortable with the idea of assaulting audience members with a sickening overload of nonsense. Its screwing around interferes with Entertainment Value because the scene now wastes too much time trying to squeeze tears out of viewers' eyes.
