**Not only that, but how broadly the words at the end could be applied to anyone who is going through tough times -- it makes me wonder, every time I hear it, how many people who were ''contemplating suicide'' got cheered by the wording there:
-->"We have survived all the way from birth to this very moment... You, too, have survived, survived everything up to this moment. Grip tight! Hum! Laugh! Cry! Forget nothing, and think many things of it. Good night. Good night. Good night."

* Episode 65, 'Cecil's Voice mail'. While it is a sad episode, it's heartwarming in a way to show that so many people care about Cecil... especially when he realizes that he can come to the Empty Desert to see Carlos.

** Also, the fact that almost the ''entire town'' turned up to stop Pamela Winchell's desctructive press conference in front of the Radio Station; it shows just how many people listen to Cecil's show and cares for it enough to save it from the ex-Mayor's crazed retirement powers.

* Carlos spends most of Episode 51 talking about how it's more important for him to solve all the scientific mysteries in the desert otherworld. Cecil is understandably annoyed that he hasn't so much as tried to find a way out yet. The episode is about to end with the listeners thinking they're set for a big argument, until...
-->'''Carlos:''' But I do know two things.
-->'''Cecil:''' What is that?
-->'''Carlos:''' I love you.
-->'''Cecil:''' I love you too. What's the other thing?
-->'''Carlos:''' You just said it.

** And then they both start to say "I love you". At the same time. Their whole interaction is adorable and sweet but for some reason, for this troper it was the audience reaction made of aaaaaw-ing and squeeing. Given that Cecil treats Night Vale, his listeners and by extension into meta the fans like frieds or close family it is really sweet knowing him in such a supportive environment.

** Plus, on a meta level: There were MANY tweets and mails to Joseph Fink about how cool the show is, but the "gay stuff" would annoy the author of said tweet. It is heartwarming, not only that the creators always shrug and continue to be open and inclusive and awesome - but that there are way more people loving them for it than hating them, and that these people are cheering the show on so expressively.

** Also in "Condos," Hiram McDaniels comes on to give a speech about his mayoral campaign. He tells a story about how before he came to Night Vale, people were terrified of him, because he is literally a five-headed dragon. But when he came to Night Vale, he could do something as simple as asking for directions to a diner and have people treat him no differently from anyone else.
