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.

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

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

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 14 points 4 days ago

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).

The last 15 minutes of "The Return of The King," starting with, "My friends... You bow to no one."

Every. Damn. 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.

[-] JackFrostNCola@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] el_bhm@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

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.

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.)

S1E3 of Last of Us - "Long, Long Time." Happy and sad tears galore.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

The whole season was great (more than half of the guest actor and actress nominations came from the series), but that may have been the finest hour in television history.

I don't want to spoil the episode for anyone, but I'll point out that my ultra-right parents changed their stance on a major social issue after watching it because it was just so beautiful.

[-] PetteriPano@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

The opening scene of Hackers (1995). Poor kid can't use a touch tone telephone or computer until his 18th birthday.

That's like taking away Mozart's piano.

Birdman (with Michael Keaton) - nothing in the actual movie but the absolute soul crushing sadness when I realized that they weren't making a Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law movie.

Oh the scene/secquence? From Tim Burton's "Big Fish" when he gets the dad back in the water. That was so wholesome but so sad at the same time.

A lot of seens in Logan with Professor X. His mental decline was a gut punch because I was watching my grandfather go through the same thing at the same time. His portrayal was spot on.

Happy with Stark's daughter on the porch talking about cheeseburgers. Such a small moment, but so genuine feeling.

[-] MaxTheMummer@lemm.ee 3 points 2 days ago

The ending of Watership Down. Can't even think about without getting misty.

Into the wild when he discovers that human existence isn't meant to be lived in isolation and then dies a few days later in total isolation.

The end of Saving Private Ryan always gets me as well.
