peacheslatour March 30, 2017 Share March 30, 2017 Okay so there's a commercial on right now where a little blond haired tyke is carrying stuff outside and the dad asks him if he needs any help. The little boy says no, he's good. Then it flashes to the kid grown and his parents are hugging him goodbye, the dog has grown old and he drives away. Gets me every time. Is there anybody else out there that has a commercial that brings on the tears? 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/55667-commercials-that-got-us-misty-choked-us-up-or-made-us-cry/

peacheslatour March 30, 2017 Author Share March 30, 2017 (edited) What is it about dogs? There's another one where a guy (who looks to be a veteran) is walking through a shelter and the woman who is showing him the dogs goes "this guy's been through a lot" and you look into his sweet, sensitive eyes and you think OMG how could anybody hurt or neglect that darling creature. And the the guy takes him home. Makes me sad and happy at the same time. It seems like cats make us laugh and dogs break our hearts.

St. Claire March 31, 2017 Share March 31, 2017 There was a car commercial (probably Subaru; they are notorious for the tearjerker dog spots) a few years back with a guy giving his dog its bucket list- giving him a nice leather shoe to chew up, going to the beach, etc. Part of the feeling was just the commercial itself, but the fact that a friend from work really did that when her dog was fighting cancer made it a bigger gut punch. In non-dog-related viewing, any commercial where you see kids or spouses being surprised by returning military personnel make my living room get really dusty. 11 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/55667-commercials-that-got-us-misty-choked-us-up-or-made-us-cry/#findComment-3135652

kirinan June 5, 2017 Share June 5, 2017 (edited) This one actually makes my husband more misty-eyed (although I admit, it gets me right in the feels, too). It's the AT&T "Stay With Me, Mrs. Parker" commercial about the guy in the auto accident, where the first responders and hospital personnel keep saying, "Stay with me, Mr. Parker" as they get him to the hospital. Then, as he's recovering, he takes his wife's hand as she's falling asleep in the chair next to his bed and says, "Stay with me, Mr. Parker." Yes, you could question why he won't let his poor wife doze when she's clearly been by his side throughout all this, but it reminds both of us of when my husband had quadruple bypass surgery ten years ago, so...
