* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr3x_RRJdd4 Free Hugs]]
** The story behind that video is heartwarming in itself. The grandmother of Juan Mann (The Free Hugs Campaign's creator) died, so the lead singer of the Sick Puppies created that video out of video clips of the Free Hugs campaign and the band's song All The Same and sent it to Juan on a DVD with the message 'This is who you are'.

* A not-exactly recent episode of the show Cake Boss had Cousin Anthony, the delivery man, get in a minor car accident while delivering a cake. He immediately calls Buddy, the boss, and Buddy comes with three other men to assess the damage. Now, the CMOH comes in when viewerss, with the hindsight of previous episodes where Buddy freaks out at Cousin Anthony for various things, expect to see Buddy freak out at him again. However, instead, it is Mauro and a couple of other guys who freak out, and Buddy actually seems only concerned FIRST about Anthony's safety, then the car, and only then does he look at the cake. This troper awwwwww'd at that moment and continues to awwwww everytime she sees it.

** Pygmalion: A young sculptor was so disgusted by the sacred prostitution occuring in Aphrodite's temple, he swore never to have anything to do with those priestesses. But sometime later, he sculpted a wonderfully beautiful statue of a young woman, so beautiful he fell in love with it. Of course, he was deeply suffering as he perfectly knew this was hopeless. Except that Aphrodite was so moved by his devotion towards her and by his impossible love that she actually gave life and flesh to the statue. As far as this troper remembers, Pygmalion and his former-statue-now-wife Galatea lived a long and happy life together. ''And'' their son Paphos went on to found a kingdom.

* In one version of the Japanese myth when Amaterasu goes into hiding that this troper read, the gods try everything they can to get her to come out. Finally, one of the goddesses gets a wash tub, turns it upside down, and starts dancing until everyone is clapping and cheering her on. Curious, Amaterasu asks what they are celebrating. The goddess responds that they found a new sun goddess to replace her. Amaterasu refuses to accept this and comes out of the cave...where she sees her reflection in a mirror hung outside. Because she never had seen it before, she is stunned by her own beauty long enough for one of the stronger gods to grab hold of her so that she doesn't retreat into the cave. The goddess who danced then admits they could never replace Amaterasu.

* An episode of Jenny Jones's talk show involved [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVXXDtWtHDY a pre-teen being sent to a drill sergeant]] in order to straighten up his life. As the drill sergeant starts shouting at him and demands sarcastically for the boy to tell him if he wants him to be his daddy for the next ten years. The boy says "Yes." This even catches the ''drill sergeant'' off guard. That leads to this exchange...

** [[Theatre/{{Alcestis}} The myth of Admetus and Alcestis]]. Admetus is a beloved king, and when he is due to die [[BalancingDeathsBooks Death agrees to allow him to live if he can find another willing to die in his stead]]. However, he is unable to find anyone - for all that his subjects love him, they don't love him enough to die for him, with even his father refusing to do it. Finally, believing himself doomed, he returns to his room - to find that his wife, Alcestis, has already agreed to do this, and sure enough, she dies, leaving Admetus alive, but alone. Then Admetus's HotBlooded friend Hercules comes along. Not realizing what just happened, Herc feasts, and Admetus humors him and doesn't tell him about his tragedy. When Hercules finally figures out what happened, he is so remorseful at the violation of SacredHospitality and is so moved by the story that he [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu beats up Death]] to save Alcestis' life and bring her back. When Hercules wants to PetTheDog, he'll beat up TheGrimReaper himself!

** Pygmalion: A young sculptor who was so disgusted by the sacred prostitution occuring in Aphrodite's temple he swore never to have anything to do with those priestesses... But a bit later, he sculpted a wonderfully beautiful statue of a young woman, so beautiful he fell in love with it. Of course, he was deeply suffering as he perfectly knew this was hopeless. Except that Aphrodite was so moved by his devotion towards her and by his impossible love that she actually gave life and flesh to the statue.

* In an old Chinese story called the Painted Eyebrow, there is a woman who [[SuetifulAllAlong is beautiful in all ways except she has a scar instead of an eyebrow]] because a boy was throwing rocks and accidentally hit her when she was a child. One day when she is grown, a man sees her from a tree and is only able to see the side of her face with the good eyebrow, he uses a go-between to get permission to marry her. The go-between tries to tell him about the eyebrow but is never given the chance. All through her wedding she was afraid of being rejected because of the eyebrow. Once she's married he takes off her veil and sees it, his reaction? He doesn't care, in fact as it turns out he was the one who threw the rock. He paints a fake eyebrow over the scar and nobody ever notices it again. Made especially heartwarming because in Ancient China, most men would go back to the matchmaker and demand a divorce.
* In one version of the Japanese myth where Amaterasu goes into hiding this troper read, the gods try everything they can to get her to come out. Finally, one of the goddesses gets a wash tub, turns it upside down, and starts dancing until everyone is clapping and cheering her on. Curious, Amaterasu asks what they are celebrating. The goddess responds that they found a new sun goddess to replace her. Amaterasu refuses to accept this and comes out of the cave...where she sees her reflection in a mirror hung outside.

The goddess who danced then admits they could never replace Amaterasu.
* In ''TheMabinogion'', King Math ap Mathonwy needs to rest his feet [[VirginPower in the lap of a virgin]] to keep his powers. Unfortunately, his foot-holder Goewin gets raped by his nephew Gwydion (who started a WAR ''[[{{Jerkass}} just to make sure Math would be too busy fighting to protect her]]''). Math's response when Goewin tells him what happened, in a time where she'd either be condemned to spinsterhood, left to fend for herself, or forced to marry her rapist? He turns Gwydion and his accomplice into three different animals for a year each, and in the meantime marries Goewin. Because unless they want to die for attacking the queen or saying she lied, nobody in their right minds would try that again.
* The Chinese Valentine's Day, or Qixi Festival, which is celebrated on the 7th day of the 7th month of the Chinese lunar calendar, commemorates the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. The Weaver Girl was the daughter of a goddess, and she fell in love with a mortal cowherd. Her mother was enraged by this, and ordered her to return to heaven. The Cowherd tried to gain entry to heaven to reunite with his love, but the Weaver Girl's mother used her hairpin to scratch a river through the sky (the Milky Way) to separate them forever. But, some magpies took pity on the two separated lovers, and every year, on the 7th day of the 7th month, they build a bridge so the Cowherd and Weaver Girl can be together again for just one night.

* From Didja Redo's LetsPlay of RivieraThePromisedLand, we have [[{{Jerkass}} Ein]]'s reunion with [[LoveInterest Ser]][[AxCrazy ene]]. But unlike the game, Didja did the whole thing using his own Dialogue for humorous effect, including portraying Ein as a {{Jerkass}} with a HiddenHeartOfGold. Then [[spoiler: Serene is revived in the end after being sacrificed]], after which the following dialogue happens:

* The final episode of ''RedVsBlue'' ''Reconstruction''. After spending over a hundred episodes hating the Blues simply because command told them to, watching Sarge, Simmons and Grif urging Caboose to get to safety after their own jeep stalls really is something.
