Since Men Don't Cry, they can't very well be seen with Ocular Gushers or, worse, Inelegant Blubbering. So the macho tragic hero will often only shed a single, sparkling tear, to accent his pain while making sure he keeps his awesome machismo. Used particularly during a flashback to the tragic past. In film and TV, the equivalent is the usually stoic hero's eyes getting watery, upon which the more emotional supporting cast will express their surprise to see a show of general empathy. The reply? "It's nothing, I've just got a little sand in my eyes." Attempts to comfort may provoke Don't You Dare Pity Me!. Something of a Discredited Trope — nowadays it's just as likely to be used to evoke pity for the character's inability to express his emotions honestly as it is to portray them as strong and stoic. That's assuming it's not being outright mocked. Contrast: Manly Tears, which is admitted; Past Experience Nightmare, where the hero really can keep it buttoned up ... while awake; Tender Tears of exquisite sensibility; Mistaken for Brooding, which might happen when there really is an eye injury; Single Tear, Inelegant Blubbering. Compare Trying Not to Cry, Onion Tears, which may also be used as an excuse. The literal case of this trope is often preceded by A Handful for an Eye. If anyone with two or more functioning brain cells would be able to see that it isn't sand, it overlaps with Obviously Not Fine. Not related at all to a certain Charles Atlas advertisement. |

At the end of The Barrakee Mystery, the first Bony novel, a rough-and-tumble bushman is unexpectedly done a good turn; he wipes an arm across his eye, which the narration attributes to a speck of dust in his eye. He then quickly leaves, feeling more specks of dust coming on. | |

In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, after Dumbledore told Harry about his mother's death: Then, in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, when Harry told Dumbledore about Scrimgeour's saying he was "Dumbledore's man through and through" and that he said it was true, Harry looked away until Dumbledore had controlled himself. Though it's Harry and not Dumbledore who's embarrassed by the tears. |

Flowers for Algernon combines this with Innocent Inaccurate; the mentally disabled Charlie, who's being used as an experimental subject, writes in one of his progress reports about going out drinking with some "friends" of his from the factory where he works. It's very clear to Miss Kinnian, his teacher, that these "friends" are actually just taking him with them so that they can make fun of him, and when he tells her that they've never been anything but good to him, "she got something in her eye and she had to run out to the ladys room." | |

Disgaea: Inverted in the good ending of Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, where Laharl sheds a tear for Angel-turned-flower Flonne, and says out loud: "What is this...? A tear...? ... Hmph. I never knew I could shed tears." Played straight by Seraphina and Red Magnus in Disgaea 5, who both lie about their crying (Seraphina attempting to stifle a bored yawn; Red Magnus sweating from his heart) when Killia deciphers the ingredients to the Toto Bunny Special Sweet Curry, as derived by Usalia's parents before their untimely deaths. Zeroken breaks down and admits to crying after hearing their "excuses". |

Bleach Meta example: in a fair amount of Grey Rain of Depression, Training from Hell and Curb-Stomp Battle scenes in both the Manga and especially the anime it's hard to distinguish between sweat, rain and tears. Although from track coming directly from the eyes or for example in Uryuu's case when talking about his grandfather the voice acting tend to imply a mix of sources. | |

The Simpsons: Mocked when Moe is touched by Marge's gift of a homemade sweater. He says the same thing in "Like Father, Like Clown" (although it really is tears this time). Played With after the two aliens Kang and Kodos watched Maggie's first word being "daddy". They seemed to be so moved that they are crying... turns out they are vomiting. Mr. Burns says this to Smithers while they're at the theatre. In the episode "Lady Bouvier's Lover" when Mr. Burns asks Smithers to help him write a love note to Marge's mom, and he recites a short love poem. When Mr. Burns asks how he came up with that so quick, Smithers says he wrote it for his birthday, and walks away sniffling while saying "I have something in my eye." |

Naruto: When Asuma dies, it's truly pouring cats and dogs. Yet Shikamaru gives himself away by stressing that smoke is stinging his eyes. Also, when Sasuke has seemingly died at the hands of Deidara, Itachi may or may not be crying for him. We can't be sure, because it's raining pretty hard. Sakura does this in a volume 8 flashback. Obito Uchiha tries the same line. |

Onni from Stand Still, Stay Silent cries much more easily than he likes to admit. If someone notices his red eyes or sniffling, he tends to claim that he's allergic to the first thing that pops into his mind.

The Brotherhood version is even worse. This example has a character-specific double meaning. Mustang is skilled in flame alchemy but it requires him and his target to be dry, so his powers don't work in the rain.

On Rick and Morty Rick and Morty have a falling out before they're captured by Evil Rick. Evil Rick looks through Rick's memories, and Rick starts to cry when he sees a series of images about Morty. Evil Rick mocks him for crying, and Rick snarks "No, I'm just allergic to dipshits". | |

Similar to the above example, with the same species of animal no less, is the end of the Animaniacs cartoon "Smitten with Kittens". Rita and Runt "adopt" a litter of stray kittens, but eventually give them up to a human owner. Runt cries a big puddle of tears as he says goodbye – Rita, despite having grumbled and refused to bond with the kittens through the cartoon, drops a tear into the puddle too, then remarks "It's, uh, starting to rain..." which conveniently, it is. | |

King of the Hill: "Chasing Bobby" has Hank crying in an emotional scene in a movie, which alarms Peggy because he knows his long time truck is dying. Hank denies it by saying he has something in his eye. Peggy wants him to admit it and even takes him to an eye doctor. Later, him and Bobby find a convenient excuse for their crying from the "new-car smell". Another time Peggy declares, "I have something in my eye, but I am also crying." |

Phineas and Ferb: Interestingly inverted in one episode. Buford has lost his pet goldfish, the one he won as a young boy, and is understandably devastated. But, being the neighborhood bully, he has a reputation to uphold. When one of the characters asks "Are you crying?" Buford replies, "No, I'm just sweating through my eyes!". Later, Isabella asks "Buford...are you sweating through your eyes?", he replies "No, I'm crying!" but that may be because he's being contrary. Played straight with a Continuity Nod in The Movie, when Major Monogram tears up at an emotional scene and uses the same excuse to Carl. In another episode, Buford cries, admiring the invention of the day. Baljeet asks if he is crying. Buford answers "No, you're crying!" and then puts his own tear on Baljeet's eye. |

In one episode of The Red Green Show, "School Demo", the gang demolishes their old school. Initially they are thrilled, but when Harold causes them to reminisce about their past, the men become emotional and many spend the rest of the episode crying uncontrollably. At the end of the episode, Red tries to explain away their crying by saying the dust from the demolition made them all teary-eyed, and that next time they should practice proper safety and wear goggles. The rest of the men immediately agree. Though it doesn't last as Dalton notices that the pair of goggles Red takes out to show everyone resembles his late father's old pair and starts bawling again, followed by the rest of the men (except a frustrated Red). | |

One Piece: Franky easily cries the most of the crew, getting emotional at just about any touching story he hears (which is how he ended up helping the strawhats, who used to be enemies in the first place). He NEVER admits it though, saying anything from "THERE'S DUST IN MY EYE!" to "I'M NOT CRYING YOU BASTARDS, I KNEW YOU'D SURVIVE!" there's no single manly tear either, try geysers. Perhaps the most original version was after where Robin attempted to convince him to join the crew with a laser guided Groin Attack. Franky pretends that she is continuing with her ball-crushing grip long after she's actually let up, so that he can cry without shame about leaving his hometown, brother-figure, and nakama. When Nami is captured at Weatheria and put in jail for trying to steal meteorological equipment, she reads about Ace's death in the newspaper and breaks down crying, causing her captors to freak out and release her. She quickly reveals that it was just an act, and she makes off with the equipment she stole, along with one of the meteorologists, who notes that she still hasn't stopped crying. |

So, when Ayla, a Cro-Magnon girl adopted by the Clan, cries, her adoptive mother assumes there must be something in her eyes and she proceeds to wash the girl's face. Eventually, she realizes that Ayla's tears are one of her many physical "peculiarities". | |

Fullmetal Alchemist: In Episode 25 of Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) (which adapts chapter 26), Roy Mustang stands over Maes Hughes' grave, looks up at a clear blue sky and muses aloud that it's raining. The Brotherhood version is even worse. This example has a character-specific double meaning. Mustang is skilled in flame alchemy but it requires him and his target to be dry, so his powers don't work in the rain. He's not just trying to come up with an excuse for his tears, he's saying he feels useless. |

A variation in Blade Runner: After the Battle in the Rain, the antagonist gives a final speech about all the wonders he has seen in the course of his brief life, concluding that all these things will be lost "like tears in rain."

In Yu-Gi-Oh!, as Joey is about to be disqualified from the Duelist Kingdom semifinals for not having a Glory of the King's Hand card, he is on the ground crying in despair over not being able to save his sister's eyesight. Mai approaches him, telling him to stop crying, and he claims to have a nosebleed. She then gives him her Glory of the King's Hand card, wrapped in a tissue, which Joey notices is damp—implying she cried after losing to Yugi, despite seeming composed as she walked out. | |

Pokémon: The Series: Mewtwo, during the Tear Jerker scene in Mewtwo Strikes Back by Tracey West, a novelization of Pokémon: The First Movie (not in the movie itself). Ash used to use this excuse in early seasons, though he's since learned that men can cry. He typically lowers his head, or tries to, but he's obviously crying. Brock starts tearing up after he, Ash, and Misty part ways in "Gotta Catch Ya Later!" He blames onion in his rice ball. |

A rare female example, from the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Imperfection": when it is pointed out that Seven is crying after most of the Borg children leave, she claims that her ocular implant is malfunctioning. Subverted when the Doctor finds that it really was a malfunction. Inverted at the end when Icheb informs her that her implant is malfunctioning again, and the Doctor point out that it's working perfectly. | |
