History TearJerker / TheNostalgiaChick

* Before Dr. Tease comes in to the ''Film/{{X-Men}}'' review, you'd be forgiven for thinking that the Chick was going to break down crying any second.

* In ''HocusPocus'', the Chick being close to tears when the movie makes her remember the kitty she had that got run over.

* Identifying with the daughters of the ''MyLittlePony'' movie because her own mother always made her feel like crap.

* The comparison between 1996 and 2005 during the Independence Day/War Of The Worlds review. It brought home to me in a way that I've never really seen so clearly articulated before how much better and hopeful the world seemed between the end of the Cold War and 9/11, compared to the shock, dread, and trauma of the first decade of the 21st Century.
* Her [[http://namebrandlindsay.com/2014/08/12/why-some-peoples-minds-try-to-kill-them/ post]] on Robin Williams, Justin Carmical and when she had her own suicidal feelings.

** To drive the point home, she closes the video by intercutting ''Rent''s "La Vie Boheme"- in which characters loudly celebrate how hip and avant-garde they are- with Larry Kramer's enraged "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KN9fjecqxLM We are in the middle of a plague]]" rant from the documentary ''How To Survive a Plague.''

* In "RENT - Look Pretty and Do As Little as Possible," Lindsay mentions throughout the essay that one of the biggest reasons why she hates ''Theatre/{{RENT}}'' as much as she does was because of how much it mitigated a legitimate grievance within America regarding the government's reaction to the AIDS crisis into [[DarknessInducedAudienceApathy some]] [[DesignatedHero unlikable]] [[EightDeadlyWords dreck]] [[CluelessAesop that ultimately misses the point, trying to sanitize a dark historical truth and replacing them with "hip," vague attempts of "sticking it to the man."]] To illustrate exactly how horrible this is, she begins the first 3-and-a-half minutes of the video discussing the terrible real-world AIDS/HIV crisis of the 1980's in full [[SincerityMode with no jokes]], describing the nation-wide shunning of the LGBT community, [[ObstructiveBureaucrat the failure of the Reagan administration in treating the massive HIV spread]] - being told [[TitleDrop "To look pretty and do as little as possible"]] - then [[NeverMyFault telling people there was nothing they could've done about it]] after it had already claimed thousands of victims; [[UsefulNotes/VictimBlaming that it was those infected's faults.]]

* The Loose Canon episode on 9/11. Unsurprisingly, Lindsay delves into some pretty heavy territory regarding a terror attack that claimed 3000 lives and set up many other wide-reaching and destructive events in the years following. It's made worse by the fact that Lindsay is a New Yorker herself and recently experienced a release of suppressed emotions she didn't even know she held back when visiting a museum about 9/11.

* In ''SisterAct'', Nella guilts the Chick by saying that she's not even getting paid for basically being her slave. If you remember ''Thanks For The Feedback II'', that little bit is... disheartening.

* Her [[http://namebrandlindsay.com/2014/08/12/why-some-peoples-minds-try-to-kill-them/ post]] on Robin Williams, Justin and when she had her own suicidal feelings.

** Doubly so when she later wrote that she put together the ''Grease" review during the aftermath of said abortion, [[http://namebrandlindsay.com/2010/06/07/on-the-nature-of-that-thesis/ specifically citing the experience as part of why she couldn't stand the pregnancy subplot]].

* Nella forgoing the DancePartyEnding of "Dreamworks vs. Disney" and going off to cry.

* In the review of ''Grease'', after failing to improve Nella's appearance, the Makeover Fairy starts to cry. While obviously played for comic effect, she sobs so hard that it really can make one feel sorry for her.

* The comparison between 1996 and 2005 during the Independence DayWar Of The Worlds review. It brought home to me in a way that I've never really seen so clearly articulated before how much better and hopeful the world seemed between the end of the Cold War and 9/11, compared to the shock, dread, and trauma of the first decade of the 21st Century.

* The review itself and ending song is filled with laughs, but the scene in ''TheChipmunkAdventure'' where Chick and Critic talk about their site-given DistaffCounterpart roles has an odd ElephantInTheLivingRoom feel of trying to avoid discussing a break-up. Not helped by how watery their eyes get.
** Much like in "Thanks For The Feedback", Critic accepting that he'll never have a BFF struck a chord with the lonely people out there.

* Lindsay and Nella's vlog about ''{{The Host}}''. Expecting a raucous good time of them trashing the movie? Well, instead you get both of them simply depressed and very subdued over how much the movie is probably going to hurt the prospects of more sci-fi and fantasy films with female protagonists.

* Before Dr. Tease comes in to the ''XMen'' review, you'd be forgiven for thinking that the Chick was going to break down crying any second.

* The last five minutes of the {{TLC}} video, where Lindsay gets out of character (she even takes her hair down) and is holding back tears as she discusses Left Eye's death, a murder of her friend at the time, and how it isn't right to make jokes about AmyWinehouse succumbing to alcoholism.

* The end of the ''{{All Dogs Go To Heaven}}'' review, with the note about Judith Barsi's death.
* [[http://en.justin.tv/chezapocalypse/b/305427485 During the Todd and Lindsay livestream]], they discuss their lack of health care coverage. It's the saddest thing listening to them hoping that they don't get sick at all until 2014 (two years later) because they can't afford any medical bills.

*** The hints in ''TheFifthElement'', that she knows he's in love with her and is fundamentally pissed that he couldn't (or still can't) admit it to her, don't help.
