    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.

    “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.

      Omg I held it together so well* during Coco until one of the final scenes when Hector picks up Coco and I absolutely lost it.

      *I cry at everything so “well” for me is probably not well for anyone else

        The thing is by the time I decide to watch the series again, I always forget exactly where this episode is. Tears every time.

          Those bastards snuck it into a leisurely story arc, too! It was all “oh the bad guys opened a tea house” and “Aang’s hanging out with the emperor” and then suddenly war trauma.

          That show was far better than any marketing made it seem.

    The scene in Interstellar when he returns from the time dilation to watch like 40 years of updates he missed from his kids.

    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.)

    The original Fresh Prince when Will is desperately trying to convince himself he doesn’t need his dad. Every time.

      It’s funny that for having such a full career I still think Fresh Prince was an absolute masterpiece and unequaled by anything else Will Smith did. (Second place was probably the original Men in Black).

      “How come he don’t want me, man?” And the way Phil grabs him for the hug 😭💔

    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.
