Heartwarming / Full House

Aw...

• Just about every interaction between Jesse and Michelle, really.
• All of the Christmas episodes, by default.
• The show's plotline itself. After Danny's wife unexpectedly dies, his brother-in-law and best friend choose to move in help raise, respectively, their nieces and friend's children. Even after the girls had gotten old enough to take care of themselves, and Jesse has his own family, they've all become so close that no one moves out when given the chance to because everyone wants to stay together.
• In "Joey's Place", the family realizes Joey doesn't have any privacy in the living room alcove that serves as his bedroom, so while he's away on a two-week comedy tour they convert the garage into a bedroom he can have all to himself, including his old stuff from his mom's house. Due to misunderstanding their secretive behaviour, upon hearing they "put his stuff in the garage" Joey assumes they're trying to kick him to the curb, but as soon as he sees the room he's ecstatic and grateful.
  Danny: Joey, you're my best friend, and you're doing me the biggest favor of my life by helping me raise my girls. This is just our way of saying thanks.
  Joey: …No one has ever done anything like this for me before. And the best part is… As great as my new room is, you guys really want me here.
  Danny: Are you kidding? You're a part of our family!
• The ending to "Just Say No Way", where Jesse apologizes to DJ for losing his head and congratulates her for using good judgment when faced with temptation.
  • Earlier on in the episode, DJ is up in her room in tears, saying how no one believes that she wasn't drinking. But then Stephanie, who has no idea what DJ did, walks up and says that she believes her simply because DJ is her big sister. DJ thanks Stephanie and the two hug.
    • Stephanie also proves herself to be Wise Beyond Their Years—and smarter than any of the adults—when she reveals just how she instantly knows that DJ is telling the truth—"You were looking right in my eyes. When you lie, you look at the top of my head."—and is so angry at her father and uncle's mistreatment of her that she storms downstairs and tells them off for not believing her, and shows even more insight—"Those were not 'I'm in trouble' tears, they were 'I really didn't do it' tears!"
• Minnie the dog giving birth to the puppies in "And They Call It Puppy Love". Also the birth of Comet. Then we cut to Jesse alone with Minnie and her puppies.
  Jesse: Why did you have to pick my bed?
• When Jesse and Becky (who are only dating at this point) have a fight, DJ is worried that she'll lose her (the only mother figure she has). Becky assures her that no matter what happens, they'll always be friends.
• The ending to the Season 3 episode, "Nerd For A Day," wherein Jesse watches Stephanie befriend her bullied classmate, Walter, and defend him to her friends, after Jesse spent the episode trying to teach Stephanie the importance of doing this. Afterward, Jesse tells Stephanie he is proud of her and they hug.
• In "Honey I Broke The House", Danny thinks Joey drove his car into the house then fled the scene. While angry, his first concern when Joey returns is that he's okay.
• Jesse's song to Becky during their wedding, complete with gospel choir backup. The baby pictures of the happy couple make this double as a Tear Jerker.
• The entirety of "Slumber Party" can qualify. Stephanie is (understandably) upset about an upcoming mother/daughter slumber party, until Becky volunteers to step in. Unfortunately, Becky's car breaks down at the worst possible moment, so Joey offers to take Steph to the party. After seeing just how out-of-place Joey was at the party, Stephanie runs home in tears, and now it's DJ to the rescue. After reminding Stephanie of how lucky they were to have three parental figures (and each other) in their lives, DJ cancels her own slumber party with Kimmy and takes Stephanie back to her party, thought not before Stephanie thanks Joey for all he did for her.
• The entirety of "Matchmaker Michelle," where Michelle tries to set Danny up with her kindergarten teacher because she wants a new mommy.
• The fact that Jesse teaches his kids to call Joey "Uncle Joey" despite not being related. Bear in mind that even Danny's kids don't call him "Uncle."
• The Season 6 episode "Silence is Not Golden" had Stephanie, and later Jesse, helping a classmate whose father abused him. Stephanie tells Jesse about it and Jesse has Stephanie's classmate removed from the abusive situation. At the end of the episode, Jesse has a talk with Stephanie and they hug, after which Stephanie goes to find Danny and gives him a hug, "because I felt like it."
• Danny and Jesse talking Kimmy out of being a 'teenage bride' made for a great moment.
  Kimmy: I can't believe what I'm hearing!
  Jesse: I can't believe what I'm saying!
• Speaking of Kimmy, although Danny, Jesse, and Joey are frequently annoyed by everything Kimmy says or does, whenever DJ and Kimmy get into a major argument, each of them are quick to remind DJ that they are best friends, and it's obvious they do care about Kimmy.
• When Kimmy gets drunk in "Under The Influence" DJ had to forcibly take the keys from Kimmy to drive home safely. Once Kimmy woke up the next morning, she got mad at DJ for treating her like a child, and asked why DJ even cared about her. This led to DJ tearfully telling Kimmy she lost her mother to a drunk driver and didn't want to lose Kimmy the same way, causing Kimmy to instantly apologize for her childish behavior and realize she was lucky to have DJ around. Bonus points for this being an instance where Danny tells DJ that while Kimmy might be annoying, she is still DJ's best friend who needs her.
• Jesse feeding a baby pig. Danny too later on, since he initially didn't like pet-sitting Scruffy.
• The end of "The Last Dance", where Jesse steps in to help Michelle teach the class the Greek dance Papouli taught her before he died, realizing that it's what Papouli would've wanted him to do. Double points because before this, he claimed he didn't dance.
• After Steve and DJ go on a game show and realize they don't know as much about each other as they thought, DJ starts questioning their relationship. Then Steve says how it's a good thing that they don't as much about each other as they thought.
  Steve: The way I see it, every new thing I learn about you is like opening another present. It makes everyday feel like Christmas.
• One episode from Season 7 has the Tanners considering moving. Near the end, they share great memories of the house even though they don't actually move, because Status Quo Is God.
• The entire final scene of the show with DJ and Steve reuniting, and the last quotes.
  Joey: (about Michelle losing her memory) But we stuck it out, just like we always have.
  Danny: Just like we always will.
  (cue group hug and credits)
  • Steve's return has one that qualifies as both this and a Funny Moment, a line that shows that some things never change...
  Steve: C'mon DJ, I don't wanna miss the buffet!
  • Given the premise of Fuller House (the family rallying around widowed mother DJ) the last lines of this series carry extra weight.
  • Followed by a Curtain Call to finish out the series on a triumphant note.
• The fact that the entire cast even now remains close as family and help each other in their time of need. Although they may like to make fun of the sugary, sweet nature of the show, they truly became a real family. This was exemplified by the huge outpouring of support for Bob's family by the cast members, including the Olsen twins, when he unexpectedly died on 9 January 2022.
