Remove a cringe Troper Tales that's likely Fetish Fuel too..


* The scene in the Norwegians when Ned and Olive are dangling off a cliff, and Olive tells Ned that she's only sorry that Ned never looked at her like he looks at Chuck. This troper felt like hugging her TV when Ned said, "I wouldn't say never."
** And then Olive's reaction, the look of happiness and relief on her face when she hears that. The Narrator said it best: "Of all the words left unsaid, these were the ones that Olive Snook longed to hear most."

* The flashback to the time where Ned was making pies at school and the rest of the kids joined in. Yes, it ended poorly but Ned was genuinely appreciated by everyone right then, bringing them a lot of joy and being praised in turn, with even Ingmar Todd (shown to be a somewhat soru character in his previous episode) helping out.

* The Great Hermann's excitement at learning magic is real when Ned brings him back to life, and Ned granting his last wish to put in a bit of magic showmanship before touching him at the end of his minute "Now you see me....". From the same episode, Hermann finally bequeathing his book of magic tricks to Maurice and Ralston, only for the two of them to movingly make a copy for a longer-serving, more deserving assistant who wanted her own act.

* Mind you, Pushing Daisies is one long Crowning Moment of Heartwarming. A particular one is at the end of 'Bitches' when Chuck asks what Ned wants. He waits a couple of seconds then that adorable smile and simply says "You." Gets this troper every time.

** Vivian's "I think it's ''brave'' to be happy" bit has made more inroads on this troper's reflexive negativity (I was a teen in TheNineties; it got programmed in deeply) than several years of on-and-off again therapy sessions. Yes, I'm serious.

* Personally, almost every time that Ned looks at Chuck just sorta melts my heart... And Chuck looking back. Lee Pace and Anna Friel [[HeReallyCanAct really did an excellent job.]]
