ARGH.

Dear TV,

Please stop playing this commercial, as it makes my eyes well up with big fat stupid tears every single time:

(My apologies for the quality of the vid, since it's apparently someone who filmed the TV but it's the only one I could find on Youtube.)

The Keri Strug one is pretty good for the OH DAMN GOT SOMETHIN' IN MY EYE and YEEEEAH AMERICA IS BADASS factors, as well.

...also, it reminds me of that Weekend Update segment she did, which was hilaaaarious.

"You said a little prayer?"
"I said a little prayer!"
"That's so sweet!"
"I know it is, isn't it?!"

I just saw that one. Are you wasting your night watching National Treasure and haunting LJ, too? ;)

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

*snickers* Yup! Best way to waste a night, I'd say. :)

The Smirnoff in your icon would make it perfect. ;) I almost want junk food or a drink badly enough to put on pants and shoes and go out in the rain across the street to get them... almost, but not quite.

Yet.

Oh, man, I pride myself on being fairly unemotional sometimes but I have YET to watch that commercial (or the Kerri Strug one) even once without blinking back tears.

Hell, I remember watching that when it happened and being all OMG TEARS.

I like the Kerri Strug one, as well. And the Michael Phelps one, because I find him adorkable (with an incredibly sick body...).

I get sniffly too. And Morgan Freeman's ernest voice doesn't help things.

Augh, I remember when that happened! I'll be crying for half an hour now.

I love how simple it is. They could have oversold the moment, but they didn't. Very well done.

To my mind, that sort of person is an Olympian, and one well-deserving of the name.
