No one is crying, right? We’re all just, as a group, not crying and just acting totally normal and not even WANTING to cry about anything in particular. We’re all just thinking about how we’re grateful that this video didn’t end up like “The Gift.” That’s pretty much all that’s on our mind right now. Just that nightmare-inducing song and how we’re all upset that we have to think about it whenever someone tries to put a living thing in a box as if it’s a non-living gift. That’s it, though. Nothing about this video, or the kids in this video, or the girl in particular. Stop looking at us for a minute. (Via VVV.)

Way to make me cry, Videogum.
Does Kelly really want to hurt us? Does she really want to make us cry?
Look, we all just happen to have something I’m our collective eyes.
It’s good that DADT was repealed, so that guy can finally come out.
What a weird looking grill.
Oh shit! I laughed so hard at this and went for the up vote and ACCIDENTALLY DOWNVOTED!!! I promise to up vote anything you say for the rest of the week, sir.
The holocaust never happened.
This is a lock for Monster’s Ball.
Oh man. Has anyone seen ads for that show “Surprise Homecoming”? It’s basically this every episode. I was a puddly mess after 30 seconds of promo. I don’t think America’s tear ducts can handle a full hour every week.
Says the guy who cries at Independence Day.
I TOLD YOU THAT IN CONFIDENCE!!!!!
::cries::
(I do that too.)
Yea but Billy Ray’s mullet resurgence in the commercials kind of ruins the sentiment.
Pro Tip: Maybe rethink using “resurgence” in a comment about people coming home from war.
Can we get a NSFW – Crying tag next time? Because I am now fighting back tears at my desk.
What was fucked up was when the boy, under his breath, asked his mom if she kept the gift receipt.
I’m not crying. It’s just been raining on my face
Now those kids will never understand the value of putting holes in the box when you put live animals in it.
Maybe it’s my fragile emotional state after watching that video, but I suddenly have the urge to get my taxes done at H&R Block.
It also may be that I was supposed to do that 2 1/2 months ago.
GREAT! REALLY FUCKING GREAT!!
*My coffee covered desk does not appreciate your jokes.
My brother came home from Gulf War 1 (that’s what it is now right?) in a similar, surprise fashion but I was certainly not 8 and assuredly not crying and *MOST DEFINITELY* am not crying now at the memory.
I am conflicted, because part of me was hoping it was Gwyneth Paltrow’s head in the box.
Disclaimer: I do not condone decapitation.
2 things: 1) The Bite Me shirt just really put it all together — a surprise LOL in the midst of something very touching. 2) All I want now is a video of two toddlers unwrapping a gift only to find a very grumpy Lou Reed inside.
i believe it was while he was in a wrapped box in which he wrote “waiting for the man”
I was going to comment on that too! I was like, “oh hi shirt from 1993″
Can someone explain why this is tagged under The Velvet Underground?
Because as a joke, Lou Reed was always putting Mo Tucker into boxes to scare John Cale.
I have nothing clever to add, FLW, I’m just laughing like a loon at that (loons are known for their sense of humour)
Mo Tucker is kind of a crazy tea-partier now. Can we put her back in the box?
Because BEST NEW PARTY GAME.
Was this their present for All Tomorrow’s Parties?
I’m glad that The Gift didn’t have Oh Sweet Nothing in it.
The dad sure had Pale Blue Eyes.
Um… Heroin.
Sure, someone just had to pun, pun, pun, pun, pun, make a joke or two.
It’s nice to see a soldier who loves his sun because before this video I was wondering who loves the son.
dad: “honey, i want to surprise the kids by coming home in a box”
mom: “…..what?”
This is clearly a phenomenally sweet video. Is it wrong that my eyes kept traveling to his crazy shark T-shirt though? I mean of course I was swept up by the reunion element (the key element of this video!) but then my gaze would go back to the shark shirt. Are we certain this isn’t part of a viral campaign for novelty shark shirts? RRGH, VIRAL CAMPAIGNS, YOU GOT ME AGAIN!
Wait, this can’t be a heartwarming soldier homecoming video. There’s no Budweiser involved.
Is my soul dead? I didn’t even get close to crying. It may be because I’m simultaneously watching the pilot for 21 Jump Street. Hard to take anything seriously right now.
“Wait…does this mean no grill?”
-disappointed son
enough dillydallying True Blood recap time please
“Just pick it up!”
Shut up you damn party pooper…let the kids open it.
How dare this video, which is clearly just viral marketing for grills, emotionally manipulate my eyes into water fountains.
Eyes to the back of the room!
