Chris Brown

If you suffered through the VMA’s Sunday night, and Bieber’s crocodile tears seemed a bit familiar, it’s probably because they were out of the Breezy playbook from the 2010 BET Awards.

Kevin Durant

Ladies and Gentlemen: your “real MVP.”

Paula Deen

The blueprint to a bullst apology about clearly racist actions was drafted in Auntie Paula’s Cabin. Was she sobbing because she realized her racist ways or because all that endorsement money was going bye-bye?

Chrissy Teigen

When your husband wins a Golden Globe, you’re entitled to a good struggle cry, right? Man, the Internet is all kinds of mean to Chrissy Teigen. They were like, “Nah. Please take this cyber L.”

Kim Kardashian

Do yourself a favor today and Google the phrase “Kim Kardashian Ugly Cry.” You’re welcome.

Terrence Howard

You hear all the time about how actors can cry on command without really being sad. Terrence Howard proved it when he got emotional for what we all assumed would be a Selma speech at the 2015 Oscars. Nope. Terrence was just taken aback by The Imitation Game. Oops.

Michael Jordan

You know these Internets are an unkind place when the GOAT is turned into the meme seen around the world. Mike turned on the waterworks during his Hall of Fame speech, and the same kids who camp out and pay $150 for his kicks had some laughs at his expense.

Hulk Hogan

It’s rather difficult for people to believe you “didn’t mean” to drop the N-bomb when you’re out here endorsing Donald Trump’s run for President…just saying.

Justin Bieber

Someone should’ve at least cut up an onion or something so we’d have some actual tears as evidence when Justin Bieber did his phantom cry at the 2015 MTV VMAs. The Bieber Contrition Tour should’ve just ended with that Comedy Central roast.

Lindsay Lohan

This is what it looks like when the checks stop but the cocaine and the entitlement don’t. Lohan was in court legitimately looking at her lawyer like, “How you let them send me to jail, though?”

Dennis Rodman

That’s the power of one Oprah Gail Winfrey right there. She’s been making hardbody grown men break down on television for the better part of 20 years.

Chris Pine

Star Trek actor Chris Pine giving you that single thug tear while Common and John Legend performed “Selma” was everything the Internet asked for.

Terrell Owens

So wait, T.O. spent years dragging Donovan McNabb under the bus, but he started crying like a baby for Tony Romo? Someone should read between the lines and queue up the Kermit the Frog sipping tea meme.

Jaleel White

It’s still not totally clear what got Jaleel White so teary during his run on Dancing With The Stars, but that’s no way to live down the Urkel legacy.

Chris Bosh

The Internet has repeatedly been unkind to Chris Bosh despite the fact that he’ll probably end up in the Basketball Hall Of Fame. Hey, that man signed a five-year, $118 million contract last year. He’ll get over it.
