I'm sure that part of that is the song they are playing... it likely would have less of an impact watched on silent. Perhaps we need a post on how music influences mood?<br /><br />That's a great point darbyunlimited... I wonder if it was a successful ad campaign.

It appeals to that part of us that enjoys reveling in melancholy--even after the punch line, even after reading your discussion, watching it still evokes that same sweet sadness.
