Marketing experts in the Philippines have seen the viral wonders of assaulting the tear ducts. Recent commercials from a popular fast food chain had the country crying buckets of tears.

Tired of ads exploiting your emotions? No worries! This latest viral commercial from Manulife Philippines isn’t a tear-jerker.

It might even make you chuckle.

In a rather refreshing twist, the commercial uses good ol’ humor to get the audience hooked. It is about the struggles of being a stand-up comedian (and his supportive dad, of course).

“Sometimes, you just need to find someone who will believe in you, so you can have the courage to fulfill your dreams,” says the caption of the video now going viral on Facebook.

If you need break from all the cheesy ads you see, watch this gem.
