** A similar cat adoption video has two cats in a cage, each cheerfully insisting that today is the day someone's going to adopt them. They go on like this the entire day until it's obvious that it's not going to happen. But the last thing they say before going to sleep?
--> '''First Cat''': "''Tomorrow's'' the day someone's going to adopt us!"
--> '''Second Cat''': "For sure!"
** The real Tearjerker? They ''never lose hope''. Even as the day goes on and on, they remain as cheerful and hopeful as ever, and not in any sort of StepfordSmiler way--it's completely sincere.

* One Canadian [=PSA=] about the homeless has a teenage girl who's dressed in rags and sitting on an old blanket at an abandoned bus stop, which is also her makeshift home, at night as an instrumental of "Amazing Grace" played on an electric guitar is heard in the background. As people walk by ignoring her as she holds out I cup for spare change, she then ages down with each passersby until she ends up a crying infant as a text appears asking "How Young Do They Have To Be Until You Notice Them?" It's truly heartbreaking.

The commercial is 'narrated' as an essay the girl wrote for school and her father's face as he reads it is heartbreaking.
