Am I the only one to have thought "Huh?" after watching that Kiwi video? I concede it has the triumph concept I suppose however I... do not quite... get it, for lack of a better term.

Topic at hand, I must join with my soulless brethren, having only actually cried two or three times within the last oh eight to ten years (I am nearly Twenty one) and that was do to immense frustration based on current life issues left to linger for an excessive amount of time. Beyond that nothing; when I was a kid this became a reason I was picked on, I could take a beating yet never cry over it and worse keep getting back up. Perhaps not a wise decision when the odds are ten to one but my pride kept me from caving.

Sorry, you lost me immediately after 'I hope you are a girl'. What relevance is being 4 1/2? Where did Michael Jackson come into it? What rabbit hole?! Am I missing some pop culture reference all the hip young kids understand?

ok...
A: crying from that song is something very sensitive girls and very young kids would do.
B: speaking of kids, Michael had an encounter with them that no one can forget
C: the rabbit hole is my arse.
D: no, it's from the matrix. like hell that's pop culture and i prey it never will be.

Or, it seems so far, everyone that had The Muppets as an integral part of their childhood, regardless of gender (and seriously, sexism isn't exactly charming, even on the internet). It's not that you're too old to be touched by that song, it's that you're too young. Young kids, like yourself, wouldn't cry because they wouldn't have any emotional connection to it...

Those stories you read in magazines like, "My son was murdered on Christmas day" for example.
They always make me cry, but I hide behind the pages so no one sees.
And Disney films like Bambi and Lion King still set me off. Even when I went to see Lion King in London, I weeped.

These was a video of a dad going to his kids school after he comes back from the war. The kid sees his had runs up to him and starts crying. That made me cry :'(

I TOTALLY SAW THAT! Oh man. It was right before work and I saw it on the news. I was crying the whole way to work. I could cry just telling the story to someone.

That boy just loved and missed his dad so much...

Found it:

Whoops! That one was good, but not it.

THAT is the right one.
Both sad...but the second one tears me up every time.

Sorry No tears. But I do love the muppets.

What garrentees tears though, is peging your testicles to an electric fence.
Works every time.

I know this is like my third post but i just remembered a truely beautiful piece of film:

oh christ not that again, that gets me everytime.

realizing that GTA IV for the pc was a piece of crap (not the actual game though, just the technical difficulties I'm enjuring right now. 3 weeks of saving up went down to the drain)

when someone important dies in the movies, I usually cry.

Okami's ending for some reason. I'm actually getting a little teary
Also the ending from shadow of the colossus. not to spoil much but "I JUST WANTED THE DAMN GIRL"
Mgs3 ending
The song "made of tears" by satch
MY KItten dying from fleas because of that goddamn stray we were looking after

Onions :'(

Aye, there's something about it that makes crying nigh irresistible.

I always tear up during one of the last episodes of the first season of Ghost in the Shell. The following spoiler contains info and spoilers for both seasons, so be warned.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Absolutely no idea why.

Tragedy in stories and characters doomed in a Byronian style.
Also good music and flashbacks of my life make me weep sometimes.

this may be coming from someone with a soul as black as the void, but i see not how this video could make someone cry

Forrest Gump. Every time, it gets me.

Sad?

It's happy, that's what really makes it tear jerking, for some reason happiness makes me cry more than sadness does. I'm very heard hearted when it comes to tragedy.

The only that makes me weep, at all, in the Universe, is Dancer In The Dark. My grandfather died, my uncle died, a close friend died, and I didn't cry at all. But hell, I just couldn't hold the tears back in Dancer In The Dark.

Two things!

The first has to be in Final Fantasy X. Come on people, who didn't weep a little when Tidus left Yuna? ;p Either that or in X2 when Yuna sings that song with (what's her name) and you get the flashback to when her and her lover were shot by those soldiers. In general, Final Fantasy is good at tucking the ol' heartstrings..

Secondly, Elfen Lied. The ending to Elfen Lied. Admit it, you cried! All of you! Yes, even YOU!

My bad. Poor choice of words.
It IS, indeed, very happy.

One of the only decent bits in that game.

lol I love that video

I used to love that, until I saw the other things he did. I think it was meant to be more disturbing than we first caught on.

You know whats odd, i cried at the ending of the book "where the red furn grows" but i have never cried at a funeral

Whenever a game console or anything electrical crashes or dies. My computer just died because of severe haemorrhaging to the motherboard and a lot of deadly viruses, and now I can't get my only good Christmas present.

Thanks my useless computer, you made me die a little inside, now burn in hell. I would happily take a very large hammer to you but mein mutter would kill me.

I cry about everything, I cried during Mamma Mia! when everyone was dancing and having fun, It made me realise I hadn't had a holiday in 4 years... and because it was a shitty movie and I wanted to see The Dark Knight but my aunt dragged me along to it...

Eh, I'll admit Bambi did it for me, but I was just a little dweeb back then, but I think if I cried after reading every sad article in the paper, or seeing it on the news, or whatever, I would be stuck in my house with a box of kleenex for 23 hours a day. Those stories suck, but I think we all, or most of us, try to distance ourselves from those types of tragedies as a defense mechanism.

sad songs and sad naive kiwi recently what broke my hearth was the death of agent 355 in "Y the last man"

Convenient_Label:
Now that I've revealed my weakness I feel you owe me one, so I want to know, what makes you weep uncontrollably, even if it is a little silly?

I am over 22 but the muppets were never part of my TV-viewing childhood. Also, the video doesn't load past, like, the first 20 seconds right now, so I can't tell you whether I have a soul or not.

Some things that make me cry:
- Most death scenes or talking-about-futures-together scenes written by John Scalzi (see Old Man's War).
- Пацаны, a song by the Russian rock band ДДТ. It's about soldiers.
- Johnny Cash's Hurt, but only really the first time.
- Poems about existential sadness and failed, messy love. Not affected at all by regular sadness or lost love, though. Can't think of the best example right now...

-- Alex

The only thing that could ever come close to making me cry is close family death.
Not since I was a kid have I cried over anything else.
Edit: The novel 'Green Mile' came close now I think about it.

The death of Optimus is the only thing that ever has or ever will make me cry.

Prime, you can't die!

um... dude, im 16 years old, 17 in feb, i was only ever a fan of barney right before i started seeing demons surrounding him. and no, i have no emotional connections to socks.

How sweet, you think 17 is 'all grown up'...

nearly any beatles song. It doesn't make me cry, but man does it depress me and i don't even like them.
What really made me cry was the ending to "flowers for algeron" and "where the red fern grows"
Also marley and me made me cry a bit
