3''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' is famous for putting a BlackComedy twist on pop culture of the past and present, but these moments show there is still room for SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments.

6* The "Film/{{Cloverfield}} parody" sketch. The people berate [[FanNickname Clover]] for destroying the city [[DudeNotFunny saying that it's too soon after 9-11]]. So, what does he do? He builds a memorial to the twin towers. Awww....
7* Among one of the many "[[Franchise/TheSmurfs Smurf]]" sketches, there is one where Gargamel transfers his mind into a Smurf body a la ''Film/{{Avatar}}'' and infiltrates the Smurf village as "Gargle Smurf" to destroy them. As soon as he is accepted into the village, Gargamel has pangs of regret and admits his true identity, but is accepted anyway when he admits that being together with the Smurfs has changed him for the better. Of course, there is a MoodWhiplash showing his cat Azrael lying dead from starvation next to the capsule where Gargamel's human body is.
8* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cizlx6ODhuE This segment]] has a few moments for the ''bad guys'' of the ''Franchise/StarWars'' universe. Gary the Stormtrooper braving Rebel fire -- and actually subverting [[ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy this infamous trope]] with a few kills -- to get his daughter's teddy bear back, and then ''Lord Vader himself'' being moved by the trooper's love for his daughter.
9-->'''Darth Vader:''' ''(Choking a Rebel soldier)'' What have you done with those plans? Gary here never sees his daughter because of people like you!
10** As a commenter noted, Gary's name isn't mentioned to Vader, showing he remembers the names of the individual Stormtroopers under his command.
11** And when he breaks the Rebel soldiers neck, he quickly apologizes to the little girl and asks her if she is having a good time at work with her father. And when she hides behind her father in fear, Darth Vader playfully says that he knows he is scary.
12** FridgeBrilliance: at that point, Vader thought that his child (or, as he would later find out, twins) was dead.
13-->'''Gary:''' ''(deeply embarrassed)'' Do you have kids? Because, you know, they change your world....ugh, I'm probably going to get fired for this, but...fuck it! I love my daughter! (grabs daughter's hand)\
14'''Darth Vader:''' ''(visibly touched)'' [[SincerityMode That really hits me]] ''[[SincerityMode where I live]]''!
15* When Vader mentions that Luke has a sister, Luke calls out Leia by name...revealing that Vader didn't know it was her, and he's visibly shocked to find out that he interrogated and blew up the home planet of his own daughter, to the point where he immediately interrupts the fight to get an "I'm sorry to daughter" card.
16* "Was I spweeding, officer?" "No I pulled you over because I wuv you!"
17* In a parody of ''Film/Transformers2007'' names being either casual Earth names (Bumblebee, Jazz) or incredibly bombastic (Optimus Prime), Bumblebee and Jazz criticize Optimus Prime's new name. The reason behind Optimus' name is revealed through mini-flashback: his father treated him like crap. After returning to reality, the other Autobots give him a friendly slug on the shoulder and call him Optimus out of respect. Optimus then bring them together for a group hug. Pretty nice moment.
18-->'''Bumblebee:''' Are you okay...''Optimus Prime?''\
19'''Optimus:''' Aw, you sons of bitches, come here!
20* A group of Zybots wants to help the Autobots defeat Megatron. Naturally Optimus declines, so when they go to fight Megatron, Megs pretends to be afraid of them and feigns being taken down in one hit. Of course Starscream calls him out on it. Megatron's response?
21-->'''Megatron:''' Oh, those guys were cute. [[ThrowTheDogABone They really looked like they needed a [win].]]
22* For a very sad and disturbing sketch, the ending of the clown car crash sketch is pretty heartwarming.
23* Franchise/{{Superman}} attending the funeral of [[ComicBook/CaptainCarrotAndHisAmazingZooCrew Captain Carrot]] with Franchise/{{Batman}} and Franchise/GreenLantern in the Creator/DCComics Special. Granted GL turns it to a CMOF but Superman takes the entire event very seriously (Especially if you thought the sketch would be about them eating the Zoo Crew). Not to mention the ending, where after years of picking on ComicBook/{{Aquaman}}, the Franchise/{{Justice League|of America}} [[ThrowTheDogABone throws him a party]] just to say that they love him as much as all the other {{superhero}}es.
24* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaP-UzpxdHo This sketch.]] Especially Chemo's Reaction.
25* [[Franchise/MortalKombat Kano taking care of Johnny Cage's family for Christmas]] (the former killed the latter) was hilarious and heartwarming. When we find out he didn't actually kill Johnny but ''saved his life'' by pulling out his appendix, and that Johnny ran off to a tropical paradise to hang out with beautiful women sort of... ruins it.
26* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBjg1Ajxj-E The tale of]] [[IronicName Eagle-Eye Smith.]]
27* Bitch Pudding voluntarily agreeing to protect the Schlorp village, though it doesn't stop the Schlorps from immediately honoring her request and sending her back home due to her {{Jerkass}} attitude. However her epiphany which lead to her actually caring about the well being of someone other than herself counts as well.
28* One ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' sketch has Jason Voorhees preparing for a killing spree on Thursday the twelfth. Jason's reaction is very much akin to a small child on Christmas Eve. The sketch even does a good job of making him UglyCute.
29* Franchise/ScoobyDoo saving Velma's life by sniffing out breast cancer before she realizes it.
30* [[Franchise/MastersOfTheUniverse Stinkor]] being invited to King Randor's party at Castle Grayskull in "Faker Crashes the Party" despite the other evil warriors not being invited. Notably since the comics treat Stinkor as the [[ButtMonkey most incompetent]] of the evil warriors.
31* One ''WesternAnimation/{{Bambi}}'' sketch has Bambi visiting the house of a man named David, and finding out that [[ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated his mother is alive and married to him]]. David and Bambi's Mom are also revealed to have a half-deer, half-human son named Bambi II.
32* In the sketch parodying ''Film/TheGreenMile'', Paul Edgecomb straps John Coffey to the electric chair, only for the whole thing to be a surprise for John's birthday.
