History Heartwarming / TheSimpsons

** The eventual winner of the essay competition compliments Lisa for her essaym pointing out that she deserves the prize money as much as he does.

* In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS2E12TheWayWeWas The Way We Was]]," young Homer telling Marge he's gonna hug her and kiss her, and that he knows he'll never be able to let go of her. Flash forward to the present, where he says "And I never have," and hugs her again.
** The way Homer fixes the strap on Marge's dress seems to imply he figured out what happened, but chose not to pry into the matter.

-->'''Homer:''' Lady, you're gorgeous. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint You make Dame Edna look like a dude!]]

* In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS13E18IAmFuriousYellow I Am Furious Yellow]]", Bart is giving out his ''Angry Dad'' comics on the playground, Lisa comes in, acting as a StaightMan. Bart tries to mock her by saying he'll put in a character named Know-it-all Girl, but she actually gets excited at the thought of being put into the cartoon and requests some stuff about her to be a part of the character, like a pony. Bart is stunned for a second that she's so on board, but then gives her a sincere nod.

-->Even when I do things wrong ([[BuffySpeak I wrong-do things!]])
-->Like pass out on the lawn at crack of dawn.

-->[[MeaningfulEcho Why you little]], you,
-->[[PetTheDog You're kind of cool]], stay in school.
-->(Lisa!) You don't suffer fools or eat baloney (Mmm, baloney),
-->Just jamming on your brass saxomaphony, you're my little lampshade girl,
-->In white pearls, you're my world.
-->Cause we, me, you three [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and Maggie]] can bring this war down,
-->We, me, you three and Maggie will be okay now,
-->If we, me, you three and Maggie just stick together,
-->We, me, you three and Maggie could stop a meltdown.
-->'''Homer:''' ''To stop this war, we don't need a grand gesture. We don't need to make a stand. [[CouchGag We just need to sit down—together]].''

** AU Homer and Marge start each morning making out in the shower. It goes to show you how madly in love the two are, no matter which alternate reality they are in.

** Homer is the first person shown trying to comfort Lisa after Murphy's death. That in itself is heartwarming.

-->(Lisa!) You don't suffer fools or eat baloney,

-->Cause we, you three [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and Maggie]] can bring this war down,
-->We, you three and Maggie will be okay now,
-->If we, you three and Maggie just stick together,
-->We, you three and Maggie could stop a meltdown.

* In a small moment of humanity, at least one bystander (Jimbo, as the audience sees,) actually expresses [[SympathyForTheDevil concern]] for Mr. Burns [[Recap/TheSimpsonsWhoShotMrBurns after he's been shot]] and stops to ask him if he's okay.
** In a deleted scene, after Mr. Burns regains consciousness in the hospital, [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/f321ea3564278387838cfa1bbe32a3fc/tumblr_o1kr36gPcY1uykqfqo1_1280.png Smithers gives him a big hug]]. ''Awww...''

** The episode's inciting incident is Bart writing inappropriate stories over library books to amuse the younger kids. He does this out of love for the kids rather than selfish malice, and it ends up making them more interested in reading.

-->Cause we, you three [[AndZoidberg and Maggie]] can bring this war down,

** Homer reads a story to Lisa as the subplot and he ends up reading ahead while Lisa is at a sleepover and finds out that it has a DownerEnding. To try and protect her feelings, he makes up a comically absurd ending that ends happily. Once he leaves, Lisa pulls out a spare copy and secretly reads the true ending herself and, instead of getting upset like she said would happen earlier, she agrees Homer's verison was better.
*** To make it extra sweet, in Homer's ImagineSpot sequences depicting the events in the book (an installment in the ''Harry Potter''-eque Angelica Button series), he pictures Lisa as KidHero Angelica Button and himself as Dumbledore-like MentorArchetype "Greystash," who dies in the canon ending of the story but lives to rescue Angelica in Homer's version.

** Even though it's [[PlayedForLaughs meant to be funny]], the montage over the end credits showing Moe as the "Fan Man" saving underprivileged people from danger (such as saving an Indian woman and her baby from a flood, pulling an explorer out of quicksand, and delivering U.N aid packages to starving Africans) is definitely a heartwarming moment.
