I was more amazed by the fact there was only two outbursts of laughing in five whole minutes.

It's certainly no Big Bang Theory.

Hey, I'm installing Linux on my laptop.

It isn't exactly representative of the quality of the other 147 episodes.

Fresh Prince was very hit and miss for me in terms of "dramatic" content. Sometimes it hit it just right, but often it just came across as overtly moralistic, even to me as a kid.
 
Either way, you can't deny Will Smith's one hell of an actor. Also it's the best thing to watch after you're sitting down with friends slightly hung over, early in the morning after a party that night
 
Time for a change of tone.

Shall we start posting things that make us weep? It'll be spoiler-a-minute, but fun. Go Go Go.

/thread hijack - (assuming people will play along).

Vote for Phillip Banks PH-PH-PHILLIP BANKSSSSS!

On-topic: Great piece of acting, but didn't choke me up. Was sad though =( The end of Millennium Actress choked me up though, but that's one of a small handful of things that did. I don't get weepy easily at media stuff, though "you bow to no one" in LOTR ROTK came close. Music helps, without it I'd probably not cry at anything.

Ditto. Happy, well scored endings do have a tendency to move me to tears. I imagine it's 50% being moved by the character's happiness, 50% crying for the kind of happiness I can only dream of feeling. See also Gunbuster but especially Only Yesterday:

Things other people consider "sad" enough to cry over don't seem to have much of an emotional effect on me at all - Watching Tokyo Story yesterday it occurred to me that this might be a gender thing. When the elderly mother of the family is dying, her husband is accepting of the situation, their son grave but resigned to the fact, but their daughter (frankly the most uncaring of them) bursts into tears. A lot of people think men bottle stuff up when women are more in touch with their emotions, but I really think we must feel things in a different way. Maybe we're just more morbid; I've probably been over the "immediate relative dying" scenario in my head several hundred times so I'm ready for it when it does happen.

Apologies for yet another ill-conceived attempt to bring serious discussion to AUKN.

Ayase, you killed my sub-thread.

I've only recently started tearing up in films and shows. I don't think I connected with stories and characters as much before. There are about four times in Lost that will get in every single time, and of course, Toy Story. Certain parts of One Piece got me pretty close, but mostly nothing and I simply just enjoyed it.

Mmm. Well in the case of MA it was sadness which became bittersweet so it was two kinds of emotions colliding. Though the undeniably happy end of Ouran almost got me when Haruhi says she loves the host club it wasone of those telling character moments that really engaged with me.
