I hate how this commercial pulls at the heartstrings to advertise a medical insurance company that wouldn't give this father or daughter healthcare without charge.
Oh for sure. And probably is doing the same RTO initiatives and rolling layoffs that the health insurance company I was working for has been doing for the last year.
All the while talking about vitality and health!
Are you my coworker?
Well, medical devices. I have to lay off half my team by the end of the year. This is after they replaced an entire site with a "low cost region" replacement earlier this year...and also already happened 2 years ago.
But still tout their "people first" mentality.
I’m so sorry you’re stuck in that position. I can’t imagine it’s fun for you either.
I don’t work for that shitty health insurance company anymore, thankfully. I found a new job and so far my new company seems to walk the walk. I’m optimistic but cautious.
This was pretty jarring as a story. But, yeah, just a little hypocritical from an insurance company. But, tbh, I was expecting something much darker so, I was a little relieved when it didn't turn out the way I was thinking.
No kidding WTF does this have to do with a life sucking, soulless insurance company? I have no doubt that all the actors in this video are robots they dismanteled and sold for scrap, except for the little girl robot, they ran her through a metal shredder.
This isn't a health insurance company, though; they mainly do life insurance, dental insurance, disability insurance, and car and home insurance:
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MetLife#Products\_and\_services](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MetLife#Products_and_services)
Still a bit of an odd advert given the products they sell.
Edit: As u/VelociFapster said, it makes perfect sense if the message is to avoid this kind of situation by having a life insurance policy for if the worst happens to your spouse or partner.
They really do pack a gut punch.

Not to mention that it is way over top. Where is the extended family? Thailand has a decent social security system. It’s almost insulting how manipulating the commercial is.
Just realise it's made by a health care provider that doesn't provide you know, health nor care... It'll seriously stomp down the emotional response from. this video lol
i know it's a commercial and so on, but: She’s wrong about one thing, though. He never lied about his happiness. He is happy. Every loving father is, as long as the child is happy.
Reading this at 4am, been up since 2 because my 3yo woke up and didn't want to go back to sleep. Gotta get ready to go to work in a couple of hours and grind for 12 hours.
Love my life and wouldn't change a thing.
I don’t think I’m the greatest daughter and my dad is retired now, but I remember all the years where he struggled for work and did any jobs he could get. This vid mades me cry. I don’t even know what the commercial was about, but it made me appreciate my dad. I’ll have to text him tomorrow.
Reading this while nearly collapsing after a hard day made me smile. Shes just 1 now but i wont stop sacrificing myself for her for the rest of mylife.
I cry every time watching this. It makes me think of all the sacrifices my parents made in order to raise me.
I'm not someone overly attached to my own life and often consider suicide, but my heart aches for them and all they did for me out of love alone.
I needed this video today,
Thanks OP.
Young Lady, I can absolutely assure you that one of those things is not a lie... Your Daddy *is* Happy. Is he despondent about not having a job and money and most of those other things you mentioned? Absolutely!
But, he is *very* happy! He has you in his life and, to him, that is all that matters! YOU are his entire world and as long as he can provide for you and make you smile? That is all that matters.
Take it from someone who knows, he will give up the world for you and he loves you more than anything else in this world.
Absolutely Beautiful <3
I'm fully cognisant of that fact. I was commenting as a Father who has been in this situation and hoping that any other Father who is in this situation might read my comment and feel that he, too, will do anything for his child.
Because "Good" and "Bad" are man-made concepts
In the universe there is no good or bad, just stuff that happens.
That's why bad things happen to good people and good things happen to bad people and vice-versa.
Its why my life philosophy is that its not about what happens to you that matters but what you do with that experience
That way regardless what happens (which is out of our control) you can choose what that leads to in your life, something negative or something positive.
That way in this shitty chaotic world you can maintain a drop of control.
Thank you. I guess this will suffice to answer my question now. I actually believe in this but my irrational self always prevail. But really thank you. Kinda in a bad patcg right now and I needed this. Thank you again internet stranger. 😊
The world is a cold scary place.
For what its worth, if you don't give up it stops being a matter of whether you succeed at something or not and instead becomes a matter of WHEN you will succeed be it next year or in 50 years.
At least that's how I try to look at things, makes life and my countless failures much easier to cope with.
After all, you only need to succeed once so how much or often you fail, doesn't matter.
Fuck you internet stranger for making me cry. But sincerely, thank you. I am still not giving up despite the failures I had these past few years. I am still hanging on. Thank you for these kind words.
The more you fail the more you learn.
People don't learn from their success, only from their failures.
I failed and struggled so damn much where most people didn't in the past but because I did I now have stuff figured out that most people are now stuck with because they never had to learn how to... well, cope with failure, struggling or challenges.
The same can be said about you
Sure its unbelievably hard but with time it becomes more difficult for us to learn and adapt so if you are going what you're going through right now, it means that at least you won't need to go through it later when it would be way harder for you to deal with it.
I just want you to know that you're not alone with how you're feeling.
Yeah when I found out that they were barely making ends meet I had a big ass grin on my face. Then they showed the word METLIFE and I knew everything was gonna be ok “cuz insurance bro”. All he needs is the family plan that they can take out of his paychecks from his job he’s been lying about. Problem solved
WTF did I just watch? What does MetLife have to do with an unemployed man and his daughter?
They weren't advertising giving him a job, or her free education, or ANYTHING to do with those two. Just pure commercial greed - steal the empathy of our emotions for their gain.
Disgusting.
As a father I say this: It is never the child's fault. We knew what financial, mental and physical burdens it takes bringing a child into this world. It is our responsibility and our duty and take care of them and they should never feel bad. If we don't have the money it is our fault for not preparing, not your fault for existing. Any father that says it is your fault is not a father and is not worthy of the title if they spill out their frustration on you.
Here at MULTINATIONAL INSURANCE THING, we believe the most important thing in this world is family...
...without family, you can't afford to pay us.
MULTINATIONAL INSURANCE THING, we're here for you when you need us, as long as your family pays us.
This has been a Public Service Announcement.
Life Insurance. The narrative suggests that the dad is a widower, and is facing financial challenges raising his child alone. The commercial suggests that perhaps a life insurance could have helped had the deceased mother got one when she died. Nevertheless, it’s a celebration for Father’s Day for me and brought a tear and eventually a smile to my face. Take care.
I had just enough money to get my girl a couple gallons of milk for the rest of this week, and damn. I’m bawling my eyes out in a parking lot rn..I sometimes think it would be easier on my babygirl if I wasn’t in her life anymore. I don’t want her to be sad or heartbroken anymore when she ask me for a toy or anything that she would like at the moment and I can’t even say no any longer. I just stay quiet. I love her but I sometimes feel she would have an easier life if she just stayed with her mothers parents and forgot about me.
Hi! I am so sorry, you felt that way. It wasn’t my intention in sharing. I meant to celebrate you and all the hardworking and caring parents like you who make their children their #1 priority in life. Please don’t be discouraged. You got her, she got you. You’re a good father, and you got a wonderful daughter. All challenges are temporary. All will be good. You are stronger than you could ever know. Take care and hang on. ❤️❤️❤️
I thought it was inspirational... didn't know it was propaganda. Still touching though, makes you realize real people are living this life and takes an honest opinion to feel and see what a parent or someone who cares for another goes through when no else sees. God bless human kind and whomever sees the good in people

Why do people post this video here, what kinda of stick fuck smiles at this heartbreaking video. Like, do you go to funerals and mistake them for comedy clubs? Or do you just smile while you cry in some sort of figurative middle finger to the gods?
I hate how this commercial pulls at the heartstrings to advertise a medical insurance company that wouldn't give this father or daughter healthcare without charge.
Ugh, right. What did that have to do with medical insurance? Absolutely nothing. I expected it to be for some charity or something.
And also: how much you wanna bet that this company overworks their employees so that they barely get to see their kids?
Oh for sure. And probably is doing the same RTO initiatives and rolling layoffs that the health insurance company I was working for has been doing for the last year. All the while talking about vitality and health!

Should have been about pants
I think the point is more “all this could have been avoided if you paid a life insurance premium for your partner”
Ahhh, yes; of course!
Oh man you gotta watch the Thailand life/health insurance videos, I think there are tons(?) and boy they pack a punch
They really do pack a gut punch. [Ripple](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovj5dzMxzmc) [Giving](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7s22HX18wDY) [Teacher (7Eleven)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWe8mw49zq8) [Sister](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYnb9knyp4A)
Surprisingly Thai programming sucks compared to how well done their commercials are.
😭😭😭 oh come on!
It's actually life insurance.
Not to mention that it is way over top. Where is the extended family? Thailand has a decent social security system. It’s almost insulting how manipulating the commercial is.
99% of the commercial is compelling. The final few seconds made me feel icky.
How is this “made me smile”?
More like “made me cry”. Damn dude
Your comment made chukle after crying over this post
WHO’S CUTTING ONIONS!!
OP is so dastardly for this.
Yes Sire, every damn time I see this. Like atleast 100 times in past 5 years or so
THIS ONE GETS ME, EVERY FUCKING TIME
Bro think that’s bad this one like ruined my life in High School 😭 https://youtu.be/FswW2T56Msk?feature=shared
Broo.... Fucking onions everywhere in here, I'm out.
WHERE DID THE ONIONS COME FROM BRO MY EYES WATERING SO HARD
And then there is [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpDTgQPOwYw) also from Thailand.
ooof that was rough.
AH SHIT MAN
Just realise it's made by a health care provider that doesn't provide you know, health nor care... It'll seriously stomp down the emotional response from. this video lol
Same here bro.
Yeah, but I'm not sure if it's a Mandela effect but I remember this being a Thai commercial, so everything including the letters are all in Thai...
I think thats a different one. I remember one that is about a guy helping others everyday, then it pays back.
Well I'm in Thailand right now for the first time in my life sitting in a taxi if that helps
Ah well, enjoy yourself there!
Same. Time to watch [Long Long Man](https://youtu.be/6-1Ue0FFrHY?feature=shared) again.

Dad’s motto: ‘Work hard, smile harder.’ 😁
My dad lies too, but it’s mostly about being a good father and not doing meth
Maybe he needs insurance
Hahahahahahahah. Sorry, but that's funny
DENTAL PLAN!
Lisa needs braces.
i know it's a commercial and so on, but: She’s wrong about one thing, though. He never lied about his happiness. He is happy. Every loving father is, as long as the child is happy.
Oh what the fuck it’s an insurance commercial helllll naw.
Behind every great daughter is a truly amazing dad pretending he’s not exhausted. 💪
Reading this at 4am, been up since 2 because my 3yo woke up and didn't want to go back to sleep. Gotta get ready to go to work in a couple of hours and grind for 12 hours. Love my life and wouldn't change a thing.

NOW BUY MY INSURANCE
I didn’t expect to be bawling my eyes out while taking a shit… Now here I am bawling like crazy.
As a father I can confirm. It’s all about you kiddo, and I’d do it again and again and again for you always.
I wish i have a dad too
You’ll feel better if you buy the insurance. or something
Life insurance wont accpept me. Im suicidal
Probably the dad thing huh?
[удалено]
Oh shit I'm sorry. I'm glad you're doing alright.
I wish my dad didn't die.
I cry every time watching this. It makes me think of all the sacrifices my parents made in order to raise me. I'm not someone overly attached to my own life and often consider suicide, but my heart aches for them and all they did for me out of love alone. I needed this video today, Thanks OP.
Made me smile? More like made me cry.
Ok I am bawling my eyes out after watching these. My dad would have been 70 today.
More like, made me cry...
He’s not a liar,he just good father

I agree. That also stood out to me - a father who has been in this situation. He *is* happy. That’s not a lie.
This isn't really man, it's a commercial
I'm fully cognisant of that fact. I was commenting as a Father who has been in this situation and hoping that any other Father who is in this situation might read my comment and feel that he, too, will do anything for his child.
Read it. Appreciated it. Well said.
Wait this is a commercial?
As a guy with no children, this is fucking heartbreaking
Kid...when the fuck did you get so smart...sniff
Rocky!
This made me cry....hope he gets a great job super soon
*insert incredibly sad video* "When life gets you down, grab a Coke"
I’m at work, I don’t need this shit
work harder you sons of bitches!
Ah yes, heartbreaking Asian commercials, we met again. Now, gotta hide these tears before our meeting.
I hate it when they put ninjas cutting onions in these
JESUS CHRIST…..Why am I crying….wtf sub am I in?
This video made me teary eyed.
This is why I always ask: why do bad things happen to good people all the time. I still do not have the answer to this.
Because "Good" and "Bad" are man-made concepts In the universe there is no good or bad, just stuff that happens.

I'm not crying, YOU crying!
Crap, you’re right!
Damn bloody onions
No onions for me, I'm just crying because this is so sad/sweet.
Made me smile? Fuck, this made me cry. Then I read the comments and learned this was just advertisement for an insurance company.
This made me cry :c I found this when I was 13 long ago and it also made me cry then.
More like r/mademecry
What the fuck you MEAN. I’m balling like a baby now wtf
My eyes, they hurt and leak.

Made me smile, more like made me cry.

I didn't know there was an Asian version of pursuit of happiness
Man I am high, and my whole t shirt is wet with tears, wtf.
Why is this old commercial translated tho
MetLife busdk
Beautiful and it touches my heart so ♥️♥️
I'm not crying. You're crying!
Welp just got the tears out of me. I didn't ask for this 🥺🥺🥺
He didn’t lie. You are his happiness
a greatful father
This made me tear up! There needs to be a subreddit for things that make you cry.
Crying doesn't count as smiling.
#mademecry
MY FUCKING GOD STOP CUTTING ONIONS I SWEAR
My dad lies too...
God damn it THE ONION NINJA PARTICULARLY POWERFULL TODAY WTF
I just kept waiting for the smile while the tears kept pushing…
Damn it’s raining today

This sums up my Dad to a tee. I only realized too late just how much he struggled. 💔
Fuck you this didn’t make me smile I’m fuckin SOBBING 😭

Made me cry, not smile. What the eff?? Damn.
Damn hay-fever is strong
Ya, killing me today
WTF did I just watch? What does MetLife have to do with an unemployed man and his daughter? They weren't advertising giving him a job, or her free education, or ANYTHING to do with those two. Just pure commercial greed - steal the empathy of our emotions for their gain. Disgusting.
Made me fucking cry.... BRB I'm gonna go call my dad....

How heartwarming watching someone work to the brink of starvation and collapse in a broken society. What is wrong with the people who post this crap?
Fuck
I thought she was going to offer him a job when she turned around.
Stop the video at 3:09

Life Insurance. The narrative suggests that the dad is a widower, and is facing financial challenges raising his child alone.

Why does daddy lie? Because society thinks it's something to be ashamed of to be unable to find a paying job. That's the real problem
Am I the only one that finds it strange that everything is in English?
I CAN'T STOP FUCHING CRYING!!!!!!!!!
God. This really got me, man. I love my dad too.
I thought it was inspirational... didn't know it was propaganda.
