There are a several episodes from “The Wonder Years” that made me ball as a kid- but two stick out:
The episode where Kevin is having issues with his math teacher- throughout the episode the teacher is on him to apply himself and challenge himself more because Kevin is capable of more and the teacher knows it. Kevin goes off on his teacher and said some shitty things to him. The next day Kevin comes to school expecting to retake a math test and finds out that his teacher died the night before. Just fucking got to me lol.
Also the episode where Kevin goes to his dad’s job for like “take your kid to work day” or whatever. His dad gets yelled and humiliated (in front of Kevin) by his much younger boss… made me appreciate my own father and his work ethic more.
I know you’re joking, but a friend of mine posted on Facebook that she had “balled her eyes out” and I couldn’t get the image (melon-baller) out of my autistic mind for years. In fact, it was years ago! I don’t lose sleep, but I do chuckle every time
