Google's Super Bowl ad will totally make you cry
Watch Next

Google brought it with their 2020 Super Bowl with their commercial, "Loretta." And by it, we mean a good cry.

The ad only shows a Google screen — just as with many of their past ads — but there's so much more to this one. The first search in the commercial is "how not to forget," which is innocent enough. But don't worry, the tears are coming.

The narrator is an old man asking Google to remember details about his life with his deceased wife, — like the vacations they shared together and how she hated his mustache. He also uploaded photos of them together throughout their marriage, culminating in a sappy, but not maudlin, look into this (fictional) couple's marriage.

Twitter was quick to let everyone know Google was making them cry, and you probably will too.
