    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.

    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.

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

    Every. Damn. Time.

    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.
