Life isn’t easy, and it certainly isn’t any easier when you care. As a single father who has raised his kids alone for the past 11 years I’m an easy target for these tear jerkers.
Got a little dusty in the room while watching this. This commercial will get you, right to the core, especially if you have any little girls in your life.
Divorced dad checking in. Doing all of the above. Here’s what the commercial is missing: fighting with the ex, custody battles, giving all the money to lawyers, parental alienation syndrome, child abuse.
When you think about it, that was a really long way to go to say “our cars have safety brake assist.” But also a really *good* way, because over the course of three minutes they made me fall in love with this family, so when jichan *didn’t* kill them all, it actually mattered to me.
Lost my Dad a year ago. This made me lose it. Some days are a lot harder than the others. But I am so lucky I had a good man as my father. He is my angel now. Now go hug someone you love.
Am I the only happy, independent, and irresponsible middle-aged party guy who sees this shit and feels a special tug on your heart to shape up and start a family?
I gotta admit this wasn’t as touching as I expected it to be. It’s a little literal, and it’s sort of weird how the “end” of the days they are marking happen to be her wedding? Very okd fashioned.
Seems like a watering down of the ad [Dear Sophie](https://youtu.be/zhPklt9nYas) which really did choke me up and still does when I rewatch it.
this is pretty good
Car commercials shouldn’t make me choke up. But I did. Whoever made that, well done.
Goddamn it. Too early for this
spring allergies yall

What kind of little shit just throws away gloves? Just put it into your damn bag
As a poor child I am going seriously what the fuck
Yo what the fuck, that was too well done.
Crying in my office is not a good look
I hope they remember the smiles
Whoever made that, well done.
I have a 1 year old daughter I’m raising in Tokyo at the moment. This hit me hard. Can’t wait to see the wonderful girl she’ll grow up to be.
I’m not crying! YOU’RE crying.
OH GOD THIS IS KILLING ME
I gasped when she threw the gloves away cause that’s exactly what I did her age when I got an ugly hat. Shits rough being a parent.
I don’t care it was an advertisement if I liked it.
Take notes advertising companies.

/r/daddit would love this – shout out to my fellow criers!
edit: i spell gud
I’m scared to be approaching that slam the door emotional phase, but enjoying the ride.
The Fielder (Corolla wagon) is about as basic as a basic car can be, so it’s interesting to see that even the low-end model has auto braking.
The American version has the parents exchanging frantic texts while racing to the locked-down elementary school.
Fuck, lost a child two months ago. now I am flat out sobbing.
Astroturf
Is he driving a Previa ? Didn’t that have the swivel captain’s chair
>somehow a bunch of pollen kicked up
>spring allergies yall
>a little dusty in the room
>YOU’RE crying.
>who is cutting onions?
>Jesus, who’s cutting the onions?
>Why are my eyes wet.
>I’m not crying. YOU’RE crying.
so strange
Almost thought I was watching a Thai insurance commercial at the end until the safety kicked in and saved them, lol.
But yeah, ad or not, this was very very sweet.
[I thought it was going to be a funny commercial.](https://imgur.com/a/EkiVW2P)
WTF are you trying to do? I was just trying to sit here and browse reddit for a poop and now I’m snubbin and blowing snot bubbles. Warn a guy…

Not a dad, wont ever be and this shit still made me tear up.
Life is so strange.
This commercial had no business doing that to me.
As I get older these commercials keep hitting harder.
As an American, I’m seriously confused… Where’s the sex? Where’s the violence?! How can you possibly sell *anything* without violent sex?
Also, I’m not crying, you’re crying!

Dad used to be cool, dude had a Celica.

Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Now they attack my feelings. They are ruthless

Where is the mom?

Nope. Can’t finish it. I got to the tux and had to shut it off. Typing this through blurry eyes.
I have a 19-year-old daughter… the tux is, luck willing, my next step too. I can’t handle the rest right now.
This and that new train commercial in Japan. Just straight to the heart.
I was always a sucker for these. Then I had kids and it got way worse
I would rather watch Japanese commercials than American TV shows.
I’m not crying, you’re crying
