[[caption-width-right:350:Sometimes, the Hulk is never alone to face his problems.]]
* Every moment between Betty and Bruce is sweet. From her driving out in the rain to find him to cutting his hair and finding him clothes to willingly becoming a fugitive to help cure him. This troper's personal favorite moment is after [[spoiler: Ross has captured them and is bringing them in, Betty slides her foot across to Bruce and smiles. He holds her hands and kisses them without saying anything. It's enough to make your heart melt.]]
* The moments between Betty and the Hulk:
** During the university fight when General Ross orders the gunship to fire on the Hulk, ''with his daughter in the line of fire'', the monster's first instinct rather than attack it (at first) is to shield Betty from the bullets.
** Hulk knows ''exactly'' who Betty is and won't attack her. His face visibly softens when she approaches him.
** The cave scene. After Hulk carries her in gently, Betty wakes up...and yells in fright. Hulk doesn't get angry - yep, '''the Hulk''' ''doesn't get angry'', and simply backs away into the rain in order to allow her to calm down. It doesn't take her long, and she approaches him. Then the thunder starts, and Hulk starts roaring at it and throwing rocks into the air, before signally for Betty to stay back - he thinks the thunder is a threat, and is trying to protect her from it. Then Betty leads him back inside, assuring him that everything's OK. The next morning, Betty wakes up lying on the now normal Bruce. If she had fallen asleep that way, she was willing to rest against him while he was the Hulk, and that says a lot.
** Doubles as a tearjerker. After the Hulk defeats the Abomination, Betty walks up to the Hulk and assures him everything is OK, just like back at the cave. Then the Hulk wipes at tear off Betty's face, looks at it on his finger, and says her name. The Hulk also [[MeaningfulLook looks back at Betty sadly]] one last time just before he leaves.
** One can even say that [[Literature/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas Bruce's heart grows three sizes]] when he becomes the Hulk.
* The tail end of Bruce's conversation with the security guard becomes sweet after you learn that the security guard was portrayed by TV Hulk Creator/LouFerrigno.
-->'''Bruce Banner:''' You are the man.
-->''(Bruce and the guard fist bump)''
-->'''Security Guard:''' God bless you, brother.
* The film overrules and overrides ''Film/{{Hulk}}'' in order to fit into the continuity of the MCU, but fans of the iconic 1970s TV show were surely pleased to see several nods, including the green eyes as Banner Hulks Out, a nearly shot-for-shot recreation of the show's TitleSequence for the ''film's'' opening credits, and snippets of "The Lonely Man" theme woven into the movie's score. Plus cameos from Lou Ferrigno (Creator/AngLee did the same, but here Lou gets lines, and gets to voice Hulk on the silver screen) and a posthumous cameo from Creator/BillBixby.

* When Hulk meets all of his dead family and friends during ComicBook/ChaosWar, reunites with his mother (who doesn't like his wife Red She-Hulk), makes up with [[BallsOfSteel Doc Samson]] (now restored from the CharacterDerailment) and [[ParentalSubstitute Doctor Strange]], is saved from his father, [[ThePowerOfHate empowered by all the fear that Bruce felt for him]], by [[LoveTranscendsSpacetime Queen]] [[IncorruptiblePurePureness Jarella]] [[ThePowerOfLove empowered by all the love that he felt for her]], and they give each other a hug before they have to be parted again.

[[note]]Sadly, it's from an alternate reality, and it eventually doesn't really end well, either. [[spoiler:Doctor Doom of this reality transforms Bruce and Betty's son, Skip (a.k.a. Skaar of this reality), into his Hulk-like form, and his mother is forced to kill him.]][[/note]]
* After depowering gamma-irradiated mutates wherever he can find then, the newly super-intelligent Hu-, sorry, Doc Green, finally confronts Jennifer Walters aka She-Hulk, asks the Avengers with her if they can talk privately as he brings the cure (which is later in She-Hulk's possession), and...they have a heart-to-heart talk. Doc Green admits that he had no intention of curing Jennifer, as she's the only one who didn't let the gamma radiation ruin her life. Doc Green outright says she is "the best of them" by consistently proving that she doesn't have to be a menace to the world, and can be a hero. He then reveals that the cure is for him, in case a rogue AI he created attempts to steal his body while the Extremis virus he emerged from wears off, or he gets tempted to using more of it and unleashing of malevolent persona of The Maestro onto the world. Jen reassures that it won't come to that. He also tells Jen that the Extremis gave him a new perspective of seeing the world, and wishes he could see more of it, ''crying'' over the short time he has while Jennifer comforts him.
* In the second ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}/ComicBook/SpiderMan'' crossover, The Hulk was incited into an UnstoppableRage by a noise-emitting device (created by ComicBook/DoctorDoom). After Superman removed the device, there's this exchange.
-->'''Superman:''' All I want to do is help you, Hulk. That's my ''job'' -- helping people.
-->'''Hulk:''' Hulk isn't ''people''. Hulk is... different. But so is Cape-Man! Cape-Man looks like puny human, but ''isn't''! Hulk... ''trusts'' Cape-Man!

!!''The Incredible Hulk (1977 series)''
* The episode "A Solitary Place", has the Hulk saving a bunny from a bear trap. Then begins '''petting''' said bunny, gently, and with care.
* Likewise in "The Snare", when he places a bird back in its nest and strokes it gently.
* Whenever people acknowledge Hulk is a good guy and show some gratitude. Even more when they learn the truth and decide to [[SecretKeeper keep David's secret]].
** David himself was unsure about the Hulk's morality, but Elaina Marks, in the pilot episode,assured him that Hulk was a good guy.
** In "Ricky", the episode's titular character not only was grateful, but, in an overlap with [[Funny/TheIncredibleHulk the funny page]], also taught the primitive-minded Hulk [[MundaneObjectAmazement how to open a soda can and drink its content]].
** Even ''Jack'' has his moments: in "Prometheus", he genuinely tried to reason with a Hulk stuck in mid-transformation, being really upset when the other people nearby [[InterruptedCooldownHug ruined his efforts for a peaceful solution]]. Jack even admitted that Hulk saved his life sometimes.
* David and his father parting ways on good terms in "Homecoming" after the two had spent years estranged from each other after his mother's death. He leaves his family home with his father and sister now assured in the knowledge that he's alive rather than dead, and will keep his secret like everyone else.
** The reason why David has to leave is also an interesting moment: Jack [=McGee=] has stopped by, not looking to pursue reported sightings of the Hulk as usual, but to offer his condolences to David's family over his (presumed) death. David's father in turn offers him a seat at their dinner table so he doesn't have to be alone for Thanksgiving.
* A meta example is the episode ''King of the Beach'', which seems to have been made primarily so that Bill Bixby and the showrunners could spend 40-odd minutes telling the audience what an awesome guy Lou Ferrigno is under the Hulk makeup and how he's far more than his muscles or his disability. The chemistry he and Bixby share throughout the episode makes it clear just how much of a friendship the two had off-screen.
