This one always gets me, especially as a Dad with some older parents. They aren't going to be around forever and I still feel like I need them even though I probably could muddle through on my own.
I’d have to say the end of Army. Rusty gives Jack the condensed milk and then gets picked up by his dad, whom he very much idolizes. Really impactful for someone who didn’t have such a great role model growing up.
Tied with Army would have to be The Creek. Specifically when the group gets to the spot that Bandit used to play in as a kid. Bandit getting to show the kids something special from his past and it being impactful to them really resonates. Especially having a young one of my own. I hope to be able to similarly share special things and have them be as well received.
For me, it's the end of Early Baby, when Indy and Bluey decide to play mums and dads together.
My two year-old was obsessed with the episodes The Sleepover, Early Baby, and Mums and Dads (playing consecutively on Disney+) at the same time that my partner and I were just about to have our third baby. The "be the bravest you've ever been" theme from the kids' games hit hard when our new baby ended up in the NICU for a couple of days. Everything ended up just fine in the end, but it was scary and we really did need to be the bravest we'd ever been.
Since then, the moment that Indy and Rusty share, with the episode's theme music peaking, it's the perfect summation of how it feels to share a quiet happy parenting moment with my partner.
Baby race always gets mom cause she watched it right about the same time the first baby was (not) crawling. I have a soft spot for Sleepytime but camping caught me off guard the first time we saw it.
I found Baby Race to be very relatable. I also got feelsy about Sleepytime, as our toddler still co-sleeps, but that'll have to transition to her own bed soon with another little one on the way. And then like others have said, the end of Army got me.
