History Heartwarming / Commercials

* This [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VrGVVAVIbQ Sprite commercial]] where a bunch of school friends reunite after years. The last one to join the group is now a [[Transgender male-to-female trans person]]... and her friends happily hug her, not minding one single bit.

** One standout moment belongs to the anti-trans person: after stating at the beginning that he considers gender to be purely biological, he ends the ad by asking his transwoman partner for her phone number to keep in touch despite jokingly claiming that his girlfriend might be upset at him "texting another girl".

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDoFNmNDnm0&ibss=1 This.]] Not for anything in the ad, except... THEY BROUGHT BACK [[TheMascot FARFEL]]. NESTLE'S BROUGHT BACK FARFEL. They do care.

* The sequel to the M&M's "They '''do''' exist!" commercial. With Santa (and Red) unconscious, Peanut takes up the responsibility of delivering everyone's presents. In his panic, he randomly delivers all the gifts to the wrong locations (many of them not even inside houses), but... well, [[https://youtu.be/bnJCgE3hqpc see for yourself]].

* A recent commercial for Red Rose tea has a nervous daughter sharing a cup of tea with her father when another girl arrives, and the father mentions he didn't know she was having a friend over. The daughter fearfully tells her father that Amy isn't her friend...she's her girlfriend. When the father silently gets up and walks away, the daughter looks utterly heartbroken. Then the father returns with a third cup of, puts it down in front of the girlfriend, smiles, says "Hi, Amy. Tell me a little bit about yourself."

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wYXw4K0A3g This Heineken ad]] named Worlds Apart, filmed in the UK. It features six different people with very opposing views on feminism, transgender rights and climate change. The ad opens with each of them expressing their views on those topics. Then, their polar opposites are made to work together in pairs, without knowing anything about what the other thinks about their issues. They work together to build a bar table, learning something about each other in the process. The reveals are surprising-the trans person is ex-military, the skinhead drifted to anger because he was completely homeless for a long period of time, the climate change denier prefers to hold a calm discussion rather than argue. Yet all of them are liking the other so far. Then, they have to watch a clip of their partners talking about their views on the issue. They have a choice now-to leave or stay and talk their differences over two cold bottles of Heineken. Despite everything, despite how polarized and conflicted the world is today, [[WhatYouAreInTheDark not one of them chooses to leave]] and all part on good terms.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFPcsYGriEs "Frankie's Holiday"]], Apple's 2016 [=iPhone=] ad, features FrankensteinsMonster heading into town, placing Christmas light bulbs into his neck bolts, and singing "There's no place like for Home for the Holidays", despite the fact that people are scared of him. When he sees people are still afraid of him, he starts to get sad, which only gets worse when one of the bulbs go out, leaving poor Frankie looking like he's about to cry. Then, one little girl beckons him over, tightens the bulb to relight it, and joins him in singing. Frankie gives a small smile of gratitude and continues the song, but then the whole town joins in, to his astonishment. It ends with Frankie smiling as tears well up in his eyes, finally getting the acceptance he's always wanted. Excuse me, I think I have something in my eye.

** It becomes even more heartwarming if you read the book and realized that [[IJustWantToBeNormal all he ever wanted]] [[IJustWantToHaveFriends was to be accepted]]. Looks like he finally got his wish.

** The notion is heartwarming as well. Frankie goes down to a place that's afraid of him just to spread a little holiday cheer. If that doesn't warm your heart, I don't know what will.
