Commercials though, the reaction I have to them just amazes me. A few examples:
The holiday Folgers commercial. You know the one - they run it every year. The son comes home to surprise his family. The little girl comes down & finds him. They make coffee. *cue eye watering* The mom comes downstairs and sees him. *commence tears*
I can't even watch Humane Society or ASPCA commercials. Forget it. I'm a sobbing wreck mid-way through.
The most recent one is the State Farm commercial. I'm not sure why, but even the beginning, when the song is playing gets me started. I first saw this commercial while on a treadmill last week. Eyes tearing up, I looked around to make sure I was alone. Have you seen it? Here are some of the key features:
- Michael Jackson (as part of the Jackson 5) is singing I'll Be There
- A breast cancer survivor walking with friends/family, all sporting their pink
- A couple leaning on each other as they survey the devastation of losing their home
- A little boy waiting with his father for his mom, a female soldier, to step off the bus
Yet again, I still can't figure out how to load this video, so if anyone can tell me how, that would be wonderful!.

I am totally with you. Those stupid Human Society ones leave me a sobbing mess, hugging my dogs. Oh, it's bad!
o.m.g.
the human society one with sarah mcglaughlin (sp) gets me BAD i have to turn the channel. my bf even knows when it comes on to turn it, immediately.
those human society commercials get me too! i refuse to watch them when they come on. there also was a citi bank (i think) commercial where this couple started their lives together and over the years their card changed and then at the end they are realllly old. ugh, tear!
I totally cry, at everything, books, movies, commercials, you name it.
I don't cry at a lot of things, I just change the channel because I like living in my happy bubble. It's a great coping mechanism!
oh my gosh the humane society has me bawling everytime!
I second each one of these! I saw an ASPCA commercial the other night and I had to leave the room! Ha!
Oh I agree! I cannot handle them, they are too sad!
Seriously. I am so happy that I am not the only one. It's so ridiculous, but I get so teary eyed! Maybe we could all start a support group ;)
I am the same way! I am bad about tearing up at the smallest of things. My husband has to turn the channel if the human society commercial comes on or I will end up sobbing!
I completely agree with you on the ASPCA commercials...I am a TOTAL mess at the end of them! I also cried at a pampers commercial one time that played forever young in the background while showing baby animals with their mamas...def made me want my mom!
Oh I love that commercial! And the wonderful support from my bloggy friends!
totally know what you mean...the ones with the animals always gets to me...saddest commerical ever and probably shouldn't even be on tv!!
every time it comes on i have to change the channel.
p.s. sorry, no idea how to add a video.
I am with you on this one completely. I just wrote on another blog about what a complete sap I am. I can tear up over just about anything. I think I need medication. :) Mr. Molly Lou always makes fun of me that we can't watch one show without me tearing up over at least one commercial.
