We're all familiar with the saying "to cry oneself a river," aren't we? It's usually just a figure of speech, but in Fictionland, things can get a bit exaggerated. Instead of just a river, a character's tears could fill up a whole bathtub, or even an entire ocean. It's usually a gag trope, used to perhaps bring some levity to an otherwise sad scene, but other times it's exploited by having people actually swim in the tears or get knocked over by the tidal wave or whatever. Sometimes, the character doing the crying is huge (a giant, a large dragon, etc) so you have a good reason for their producing that much saltwater. Other times, they're regular-sized but cry that much anyway, due to Rule of Funny or because they're just that sad or whatever the case may be. Not to be confused with Ocular Gushers, which involves tears spurting out like a fire hydrant, but doesn't necessarily involve the tears accumulating in a large pool. The two do often occur together, though. Compare Swiss-Army Tears. May result from Giant's Droplet, Human's Shower. For one funny effect: The character cries filling up the entire set. Fish then swim around through the tears, as if the tears were like the ocean. |

The Casagrandes: In the episode, "Grandparent Trap", when Frida cries while watching Camila, she floods her apartment with her tears. At one point, the apartment is half-flooded and Lalo swims in the tears with Carlitos riding on his back, and at the end of the episode, the apartment is completely flooded and Frida, Lalo, and Carlitos are all dressed in scuba suits. In "Achy Breaky Art", Frida cries literal waterfalls of tears after reading the review on the last remaining newspaper in town and starts flooding the room. First, a puddle of tears goes through her door. Then, her tears gush out from the keyhole. And lastly, the paper goes through the keyhole, and an explosion of tears enters her door. In "Lalo Land", When Ronnie Anne, Carl, and CJ are training Lalo to express emotions on cue, Lalo is told to think of a time when he was very sad. We are then treated to a flashback when Lalo was a puppy. He lost his favorite toy, and that made him cry Ocular Gushers. Cut back to the present, and Lalo has now flooded the apartment with his tears. In "Born to Be Mild", Carl convinces Alexis to make fun of Bobby's hair, knowing that Bobby is Prone to Tears. Alexis comparing Bobby's hair to a dirty broom hurts Bobby's feelings and predictably results in him crying so hard he floods the mercado, to the point where Vito is swept away to the docks. |

Rocko's Modern Life: In "Hypno-Puppy Luv", Mrs. Bighead befriends a dog that is really Rocko hypnotized (long story). When he runs away (really Heffer and Filbert saving him), Mrs. Bighead is so distraught that the water from her tears breaks the windows and floods her bedroom. Mr. Bighead has to use a boat to reach her and give her a goldfish to calm her down; it wasn't the dog she loved, but it won her heart all the same. | |

Sesame Street The show has skits about Baby Bear's living drawing Hero Guy. In one of them, they jump into their picture of a boat but Baby Bear has forgotten to draw the sea. However, this makes them so sad that together, they cry enough to make the ocean. In the Elmo's World episode about Eyes, Elmo asks the viewers to help him count the tears that fall from a crying crocodile's eyes. As Elmo and the children count, the crocodile floods Elmo's room with his tears. After the crocodile cheers up, he opens the door, which drains the water. |

In most productions of Swan Lake, the titular lake is made of tears. In the ballet's original version, they were cried by Odette's grandfather when his daughter, her mother, died, while in the later revised version they were cried by Odette's mother herself when Odette was changed into a swan. | |

In The Cuphead Show! episode "Root Packed", after Ollie Bulb hears the cup brothers' conversation, he cries both Ocular Gushers and Onion Tears. Due to his tears and stench, all the partygoers start crying, including the bouncer. And everyone cries so much, that their tears flood the garden and get washed away. By the time that happened, even Cuphead and Mugman cry in Tears of Joy now that the vegetable garden is once again in bloom. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: Pearl has a habit of crying so much that it floods the building she's in, always combined with Ocular Gushers. As shown in "Married to Money", the Krabs house even has drain plugs on the floor to empty out her tears. Despite already being underwater. In the episode "Grandma's Kisses", SpongeBob doesn't want to be an adult because his peers tell him that certain things he likes getting from his grandma, such as homemade sweaters, cookies and milk, and the eponymous kisses, are for kids only, and he cries so much that he fills up his grandma's house. In "Funny Pants", SpongeBob cries enough to flood both his and Squidward's house with tears when he broke his laugh box, and Squidward opens the front door and the flood knocks him over. In "SpongeBob You're Fired", Spongebob's reaction to getting fired by Mr. Krabs causes him to cry so much that he floods the Krusty Krab with his tears. Squidward then drains them off by making a hole with a hand-powered drill. Pearl's tear-flooding runs in the family - in "Mr. Krabs Takes a Vacation", Mr. Krabs cries hard enough to flood the Bikini Bottom Mint when he sees money being shredded. At the end of the episode, after Krabs is rewarded custom dollar bills for stopping a burglary, Pearl "charges" him for taking her on a lousy vacation and takes the bills, making him flood the building all over again. |

Ed, Edd n Eddy has quite a few examples: "Three Squares and an Ed" downplays this trope. In one scene, Ed is grounded and has cried a large puddle around him. "Here's Mud in your Ed" sees Jimmy being scammed with a fake amusement park and subsequently crying a stream of tears that pours down the storm drain. The Eds are invited to Jonny and Plank's Arbor Day celebration in "'Tween a Rock and an Ed Place", only to learn that they're the only guests there. When Eddy wants to leave, Jonny cries so much that his tears create a pool that Ed uses to fish in. |
