MungoChutney Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 The Modern Family episode where Mitch and Cam get married. I normally laugh my arse off at this show and, although I love all the characters, none of them have ever elicited a proper emotional response other than laughter and joy. However, what Jay does in this episode (won't spoilt it) reduced me to actual real tears. Like Chest, I'm sure it was partly my hangover but I think it was also knowing that although I'd do the same, a lot of dads wouldn't.

Paid Members Nick Soapdish Posted March 8, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted March 8, 2017 Unexpected, guys. That's subjective surely? As I explained in my post, I never expected someone elses wedding, let alone someone I have never met to. And as for Jurassic Bark you never see it coming. Â The fact that just thinking about that episode makes me well up even now is not the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricc1PW Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I once watched the full two series of The Cafe on Sky Box sets. (it's a sky 1 sitcom, with Ralf Little. bit crap tbh) and I welled up a little towards the back end of season two. (when the couple the show was built around eventually got together) Â to be fair, I'd only just broke up with my long term girlfriend, was physically and mentally exhausted and I think I was drinking at the time so it was probably more down to that, but still.

Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted March 8, 2017 Moderators Share Posted March 8, 2017 Â Treach looked like a bloke in his early 30s on that show. Turns out he's 62. Good for him. Â Fuck off! Legit? That would have made him about 45 in Oz, and he looked about mid 20s! Â Â His imdb says 1970. I think someone's just having a laugh and editing his wiki page to say he was born in '54. I did laugh really hard when I googled him and saw he was 62, like when Kingdom of the Crystal Skull came out, and there was a bit about it in The Sun (at someone's house, I'm not a prick) and it said Harrison Ford was 82.

Grecian Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 There was a documentary released a few years back, 'One Night In Turin', about England in the World Cup in 1990. Blubbed my way through most of that, through a mixture of nostalgia, memories of watching it with my granddad who'd passed away a few months before the documentary was released. A great documentary, loved it. I own it on DVD, and haven't been able to watch again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 The Fast Show was always full of pathos but when it's Teds wife's funeral and he collapses while walking off and Ralph catches and consoles him. Fucking hell. Shame it was retconned for the special and Kathy Burke played her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Â Every time. It's the moment just before it that really gets me though. He's waving as his mum's van drives away he stops for a second and then his hand just drops to his side. It's absolutely crushing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Clint Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 The final scene from Blackadder Goes Forth always makes an eye water up. It's brilliant how a series so hilarious could have such a bittersweet ending. Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh fucking hell! I watched the whole series and kept going "fair play to him, looks great for his age." Nobody has even bothered to edit that wikipedia in what seems like months then. As if nobody cares about Treach. Anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Despite the fact I find it weird to get emotional over what are essentially cartoons, The Simpsons is bad (good?) for this. I had a week long comedown once where all I did in the evenings was watch tear-jerking Simpsons episodes and cry.  These bits always make me well up:  - The end of Mother Simpson with Homer looking at the stars as the credits roll  - "Do it for her"  - Bart paying for a photo of himself for Marge after he'd been previously caught shoplifting  - Bart and Lisa's ice hockey game where they skate off together after remembering how much they love each other  - Bart singing Happy Birthday to Lisa Also, Lisa getting Bleeding Gums Murphy's music played on pirate radio in tribute to his passing.  Cut to various characters taking notice and tapping their feet, never knowing who he was but having their day brightened for just a minute or two by what he left behind.

Keith Houchen Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Yeah but that sentiment is crushed because it's a Lisa centric episode and that Jazzman song is fucking cringeworthy. It may not even be from that episode but I don't care, that's how bad it is, it stinks up entire characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I think that's a different episode, but you're wrong about the song regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
