The Bob’s Burgers episode “The Amazing Rudy” (season 14, episode 2).
Regular-sized Rudy goes out to eat with his divorced parents and their new significant others. It goes horribly wrong and he runs away to the Belchers’. I tear up a little bit even thinking of it because it isn’t played for laughs. I really feel for Rudy, just trying his hardest and putting way too much pressure on himself, and the way Louise steps up for her best friend is just so sweet.
Star wars; the last Jedi
The Holdo maneuver.
Oh man, I forgot about the bicentennial man 🤖😢
The dad doing one last goofy march while his son watches, in Life os beautiful (1997)
The Iron Giant
Ibelin. Saw it in the cinema when it first came out, seemed like everybody in the audience was crying.
(It’s about a kid with a degenerative disease who connected with people through an MMO.)
ANY time any dog dies.
‘Hachi: A Dog’s Tale’ killed me
The last part of AI (2001)
Grave of fireflies, of course
One of the best films about war, of all times and genres. Incredibly powerful and, yes, quite a tearful experience.
The ending of Watership Down. Can’t even think about without getting misty.
The sinking of the Going Merry. Oda made me cry for a boat, and I’m not even joking.
“little soldier boy” episode from Avatar: the last Airbender. Every time.
Leaves from the vine…
The thing is by the time I decide to watch the series again, I always forget exactly where this episode is. Tears every time.
First season of After Life by Ricky Gervais.
The scene after where Gervais’ character realizes fully what he has done, especially to himself long term, is soul crushing. The i did the right thing, but for all of the right and wrong reasons look on his face is haunting. I think it is the 2nd episode.
A lot of the episodes open with him watching his wife telling him to enjoy life. Her sitting on the hospital bed, on her final days because of cancer.
I hated gervais before this, i found his comedy delivery and style very grating but after watching this shoe and getting kicked in the guts every couple episodes i gave him another shot and dont mind him so much now. Show is a 10/10 if you want to sob silently with your partner.
He can be eyerollingly obnoxious. And he is becoming more and more out of touch.
He tends to have a heart and in the right place. His XFM auditions were the greatest proof of this.
“where do you think we are?”
The context is what makes this powerful. The buildup, the misdirection, the reveal.
This was Scrubs at its best. McGinley should have won an Emmy right there.
