Joel Torres I grew up watching David too and they never showed this episode at all where I lived. I guess they were afraid children would be really sad to see this.
I blame this episode for making me emotionally unavailable after embedding itself into my child mind. Jk. It was super sad at the time though and I'm crying now watching this! Poor Swift
Quest 321 I didn’t see it until I was much older, and it broke my heart!! I’m watching it again after years of telling myself “no way, that wasn’t real!” And sobbing like crazy!
You know what gets to me? The really simple but emotional music the moment Swift ascends the mountain. It's really quirky, just like the gnomes but takes that opening theme and creates a perfect combination of sorrow, happiness and love which is exactly what we're watching here.
I grew up on this show. Im bawling my eyes out watching this, but what a beautiful way to go. To go at the same time as your loved one, and become one with nature.
While I know this is the case, it is basic instinct. The thing is that this person has nothing to gain from saying it, considering things like likes don’t really matter. I don’t see why they post something like this unless they just wanted to share a story from their childhood.
Now that is something I’ll never understand. I’ve gotten lots of likes on a few comments before, and all I’ve said is “That’s pretty neat I guess” Then again, I wouldn’t consider myself the standard internet goer.
Grown man. 40 years old. Crying like a baby with a skinned knee. It makes you think, though, how people come and go yet in some ways live forever. Beautiful piece of television history. I hope my wife and I are still dancing and happy when we go.
It is sad, but I really don't agree that David and Lisa died. They did NOT die...they lived on as beautiful trees. I think the message here is one of hope...that life is a continuum and death is not finite...we simply shed our bodies to become new beings. Sadness turns to happiness, and the cycle begins anew. This show has always been an homage to Nature...and this is Her deepest lesson. It's a good one worthy of passing onto kids. I think this was a beautiful ending.
Liza: Farewell my dear David my husband my love... David: Farewell my beloved, thank you for all the love you've given me.... Casper: I think the time has come.... David: Yes, it's here. Me (Revealed as the unnamed & unseen guest they greet in each episode): *Hugging them both one last time* I will miss both our visits and our conversations. I will not forget the lesson you shared with me..... *Took a step back and watched as they all transformed into apple trees. Tears fell from my eyes as the pedals of the sunflowers flew by them all* Perfect...... They are all perfect...... *knelt in prayer and mourned for the loss* 6:17 *Watches from the top of tge hill as Swift follows after his vixen companion and smiles* Life finds a way. Farewell friend, until we meet again...

even though i never grew up watching this show, it still makes me tear up knowing that we’re all bound to leave this place but to know to cherish the time we’ve got left with the ones we deeply care for.
My heart truly broke for swift up until he met that female fox Agnes then I felt genuine happiness for him which I think he more than deserved especially after the heartache he went through witnessing his best friends die 💯
OMFG are you kidding me with this...I forgot how deep and emotional this show truly was; I remembered it but I was certainly too young to understand it when it was on tv oh god the emotions....I made it about five seconds in and started bawling.... :'(
The show that scarred me for life. To this day - and I'm now 43. I remember watching this as a child. We all loved it. Parents and children alike. Then this final - FINAL - episode. We all cried. By all, I mean the entire nation. Nowadays, I wait for shows to end before I even start watching them. It means I sometimes start watching a show years after the first season aired, so that I can ensure I know how it ends before investing so much into it - only for 2 beloved characters to die and turn into trees
My mom bought me the DVD collection for Christmas, since I used to watch the show all the time when I was little. I binged watched, got to this episode, and proceeded to cry man tears like I was Niagra Falls! I DO NOT remember this episode at all! I actually remember the episode before this one, but either my poor child mind couldn't handle it and blocked it out, or the channel it was on (I can't even remember what channel it was back then in the late 80s) simply didn't air it. Maybe I lucked out and missed it.
+shounenbat510 I grew up watching this too and saw every episode on Nickelodeon and this one was NEVER shown at all where I lived. this episode was way too sad for children
Yea, and the fact that you die, knowing that you were never married, next to your best friend and his wife loving it up before they pass also, sucks. Atleast on Casper's side...
I never saw this as a child, the ending...but seeing it now brings back so many sad memories...and so many many more happy ones. Yeah I am crying my eyes out right now. But I feel GOOD. Happy.
a perfect lesson on life unfortunately people we love move on and there is nothing we can do about it but life will go on and life will change even though it may be sad it's a part of life
I loved this show I watched it when my kids were younger that was there nap time I would lay down with them and watch this show, brings back a lot if good memories for me
I am so happy I never saw this episode. David the Gnome was one of my favourite shows as a kid and should I have ever seen this episode, when I was young, I would have done only 2 things, either I would have cried so much or I would have been so confused. I still cry every time I see this. Poor Swift, but at least he found himself a beautiful wife and a new friend. Great yet heartbreaking and tearjerking ending.
The Nathaniel Hawthorne story about The Miraculous Pitcher tells about a couple turning into trees, too. I found the story in one of my dad's reading books he had in school. I'm not sure if it's on UA-cam or not, though.
I was around 10 when I first saw the show, it was the first year we had cable. I mostly watched Nickelodeon, when it was still good, and was hooked on this cartoon, even my mom enjoyed it. After about a year, I took interest in the show again recently and saw this episode. I had missed it originally,, so thanks to the OP that shared it here.
Dam bruh, wtf… 😢I remember this as a kid over 30 years ago but it never hit me like it did just now. I guess after you grow up and lose loved ones such and grandfolk & whatnot, perspectives change. Not to mention the yearning for my youthful self when I watched these for the first time.
Agreed. We are more mature and are able to really grasp it now, and at the same time, it takes you back to a place and time when you were first introduced to this world and these characters. I'm feeling really sentimental about those times too.
This is sad. I haven't watched this since about 1992 and over time just forgot about it. Then about four years ago my then seven year old daughter calls crying that David the gnome died. I had no idea. I had to watch this. When I did my whole childhood came back, the music, his voice, the forest, everyhing! I teared up. So did you!
Does anyone think it would have been good as a spinoff with Christopher as the new gnome? Anyway I wanna think David and Lisa lived on in Gnome Heaven or the Summerlands or wherever.
After the shattering heartache that swift felt watching his best friends die it only felt right that he got that happy ending at the end 🦊 #RIPdavidandlisa

This is really an intensely emotional and beautiful ending for a children's cartoon show.
Holy crap, I've never even seen this show before and I'm freakin' tearing up.
+Iambic Pentameter You should. It's actually a good show, albeit for little kids.
me to
agreed
You're too young!
UGH I DONT KNOW THE SHOW BUT IM TEARING UP
I watched this show as a kid. Never saw this episode. I'm now 34 and this hits my heart. Swift was my dog!!! And it hurt seeing him hurting like that.
I watched this when I was a kid too I don't remember this episode. I watched this and I cried too. I am 32.
I'm sorta glad I didn't see this episode back then. Not sure I could've handled that much sadness.
Joel Torres I grew up watching David too and they never showed this episode at all where I lived. I guess they were afraid children would be really sad to see this.
I blame this episode for making me emotionally unavailable after embedding itself into my child mind. Jk. It was super sad at the time though and I'm crying now watching this! Poor Swift

same!!
The music is masterpiece. It's sad modern cartoons don't have the same charm and that they don't learn the same lessona
I noticed that it was a variation on the main theme as well. Really beautifully done and very effective.
If only death was as peaceful as this.
It is sometimes.
Andy Gramajo don’t know if u don’t try it 😉( try it pls )
That's what morphine is for.
Jon Kay you’re totally right
Yeah, the thread of deforestation is a fucked up finale
That's right Swift, nothing takes your mind off the fact your best friends just died like some fox poon.
Brock Gerritson lmao
LMMFAO!!!
you killed it with this comment (tears gone) lol
1989's
Kind of like mogley at the end of jungle book.
I grew up on this show. Im bawling my eyes out watching this, but what a beautiful way to go. To go at the same time as your loved one, and become one with nature.
I take it I'm not the only one who broke down and cried watching this, even as an adult?
yep
it totally got me when i was a kid, still hit me and i'm in my thirties now.
me2
My girlfriend is crying right now.
Balling like a little bitch
Gnomes sure go out in style on this show.
I think it's been pointed out that had Swift not went back to see them one last time, he may have missed meeting Christopher and Agnes.
How could who or someone please explain it to me
Destiny
One of the saddest episodes in a kids show. I boo hoo'd that day. My parents understood and took me out for ice cream later.
#memories
Why must you assume this.
While I know this is the case, it is basic instinct. The thing is that this person has nothing to gain from saying it, considering things like likes don’t really matter. I don’t see why they post something like this unless they just wanted to share a story from their childhood.

I'm 37 now and them waving and holding hands after they've turned into trees still makes me cry😂😂😂🤷🏽♀
The power of true love
Shit, man. I'm 41 and I just cried right then too.
Me not crying right now
Im 37 and i remember this.........this killed me....
Join the club buddy this still makes me cry as well 😢
I'm 39 and this still gets me.
I feel sorry for the fox. He seems to say: "Wait, this is where trees come from? But... but I've been PISSING on these!!!"
😥😂😂😂
XDXDXDXDXDXD thank you for commenting this XDXDXDXDXD
Do you speak fox? 🦊
Bruh the other gnome died seeing how happy David and Lisa were together and being a third wheeler. Probably crying because he died alone.
But he didn't die alone. He died with David and Lisa
I’m glad I’m not the only one who pointed that out lol
yup and probably that's why is tree doesn't look nice as David and Lisa
Grown man. 40 years old. Crying like a baby with a skinned knee. It makes you think, though, how people come and go yet in some ways live forever. Beautiful piece of television history. I hope my wife and I are still dancing and happy when we go.
To this day, this is the only time a cartoon made me cry.
Glad I don’t recall seeing this episode as a kid because I absolutely loved David and Lisa. I’m sure this would have messed me up back then!
I guess Nick Jr. thought airing this episode would be too disturbing for younger children. I don't remember this, either.
I don't know why I decided to relive this
It is sad, but I really don't agree that David and Lisa died. They did NOT die...they lived on as beautiful trees. I think the message here is one of hope...that life is a continuum and death is not finite...we simply shed our bodies to become new beings. Sadness turns to happiness, and the cycle begins anew.

spector969 HAHAHAHA, Dude goes into an emotional and meaningful rant and then just. Them niggas dead.
Lmaoo yall wild af!!!
that's called reincarnation which is death still
This ending is poison & guess what I hate it
You're not his dad!
I’ve never seen a second of this show but I saw this clip in a blameitonjorge video and bawled my eyes out like a melting ice pick
Did you blame Jorge
Liza: Farewell my dear David my husband my love...
David: Farewell my beloved, thank you for all the love you've given me....
Casper: I think the time has come....
David: Yes, it's here.
Me (Revealed as the unnamed & unseen guest they greet in each episode): *Hugging them both one last time* I will miss both our visits and our conversations. I will not forget the lesson you shared with me..... *Took a step back and watched as they all transformed into apple trees. Tears fell from my eyes as the pedals of the sunflowers flew by them all* Perfect...... They are all perfect...... *knelt in prayer and mourned for the loss*

I'M NOT CRYING! YOU'RE CRYING!!!

Maybe it's a bowl of onions.
Indeed!

Talented man if he can do a damn good fox noise.
The actor that played Swift has a funny name! 😂
@@harrystoller4147 Maybe he'll do a project with Taylor Swift lol
This episode absolutely destroyed me as a child. It still hurts to watch this, to this very day. 🥺😥
I'm sure Swift was hurt the most. I can't help but feel for him.
even though i never grew up watching this show, it still makes me tear up knowing that we’re all bound to leave this place but to know to cherish the time we’ve got left with the ones we deeply care for.
Who else started crying within 5 seconds of starting the video?
When the music started I got choked up.
Ethan Ciotti same
TrueSolunar Me...
Me...
This is when they made great kids shows God bless the 1980s I miss it.
Swift was awesome. Ever faithful. Great reward for serving David all those years.
My heart truly broke for swift up until he met that female fox Agnes then I felt genuine happiness for him which I think he more than deserved especially after the heartache he went through witnessing his best friends die 💯
OMFG are you kidding me with this...I forgot how deep and emotional this show truly was; I remembered it but I was certainly too young to understand it when it was on tv oh god the emotions....I made it about five seconds in and started bawling.... :'(
Alright I've never even watched this show and I just balled my eyes out. That was heartbreaking.
I literally began crying the moment the video began
The show that scarred me for life. To this day - and I'm now 43.

Kind of sucks that you’d have avoided this magical show altogether had you known the ending.
This was a perfect thing to experience at a young age.

+shounenbat510 I grew up watching this too and saw every episode on Nickelodeon and this one was NEVER shown at all where I lived. this episode was way too sad for children
David the gnome was one of my favorite cartoon as a lid.
5:14 woah Keemstar! Cool your jets! They just met!
The Plains Jam lol
FAST AS FUCK BOI!!!!!!
Moral of the story IS: Getting ass fixes everything, even sadness.
A true moral, at least.
No, the whole show is about nature. The moral is we're all part of nature and we'll all die and fertilize some plant
Yea, and the fact that you die, knowing that you were never married, next to your best friend and his wife loving it up before they pass also, sucks. Atleast on Casper's side...
+THEGREATMAX the moral is foxes are horny little things that aren't too found of mice, (hence why he abandoned them)
Actually, having sex after funerals is common, as it reinvigorates people and makes them "feel alive"
I wasn't crying because they died, I was crying because of the fox crying
I too can relate.
Did they die?
Same, I wanted to hug the fox so bad and it's a cartoon fox. 😂
Same
@Little Bit maybe they went to a afterlife?
Hey who put this bowl of onions here
I did!
Idk. But I remembered buying onion rings and I forgot they were near me.
Shrek did
After two years, I must admit that I was the one who did it, Chloe, old pal.
I can't believe David the Gnome is fucking dead
he is always alive in my childhood.
+Avakadoman i read donald the gnome and i should not be laughing rn
Terry the gnome is still alive and nasty
Im 32 and to see this today breaks my heart.. I almost want to cry.. This was one of my favorite child hood shows... Damn
I am 32 also I loved this show too. Never saw this episode as a kid until now I cried so much I loved David the gnome.
Me also.
Soo yall gonna ignore that gnome who died being a third wheel?
This and the fox porn comment made me crack up
@@HxrryTv. Agreed. :)
Maybe he'll be with his wife in heaven
Powerful love this show growing up this one made me cry
Goodbye... David and Lisa... :'(
I know how you feel.............
My childhood..........passed away. :'(
I love how Lisa's broach turned into an apple
"I thank you for all the love you've given me!"
😔😔💔
I can tell Swift and Agnes will have a family together
If they were on “The Wisdom of the Gnomes”. Unless there were different foxes.
They look like Todd and Vixie from the fox and the hound
To this day, Foxkind worship the sacred trees, of the mountain of beyond.
Or at least some version of them.
David the gnome kicks the bucket... of my tears that I've shed watching this ending. Every damn time.
i regret seeing this episode lol...the tears won't stop
I don't even if I cry for hours I'm still happy to watch this episode
So. Many. Feels.
i remember watching this as a kid with my big bro and we cried then..... im also crying now. so beautiful such memories, poor swift : (
Michael Swann if you thought this was intense try watching breaking bad
OMG....That tree part...everything before and at that moment was perfect. So beautiful.
It's awesome how they wave good-bye to us
3:35 Apperently the gnome with the glasses bought a upgraded death animation.
I remember this when i was a child. I always love it when they were on adventures.
Why aren't their families here to bear witness to David and his wife's final moments?
They're the only gnomes in the forest
@@alfredroa9437
I saw the episode where David's son calls him. So I know they must exist somewhere.
david the gnome died. we went hard in the 80's (when the show started)
Poor swift :(
But he found someone to love even after the sad :)
Chaos of madness Swift is the BEST fox.
This was my show man! Born in 84" I don't remember this sad part tho!
Same I was born in 84 and its axing how much has changed.
'81 baby, this my first time seeing this 😭😭😭 a sad but beautiful ending.
Wait a minute... does this mean that all of the forest gnomes were living under the corpse of other gnomes? That is fucking morbid.
I never saw this as a child, the ending...but seeing it now brings back so many sad memories...and so many many more happy ones. Yeah I am crying my eyes out right now. But I feel GOOD. Happy.
This always made me cry as a kid.
a perfect lesson on life unfortunately people we love move on and there is nothing we can do about it but life will go on and life will change even though it may be sad it's a part of life
Good friends are rare to find, precious to have, hurts like hell to lose and most importantly virtually impossible to forget
I am in floods of tears. I loved this show but never saw the final episode. . My heart is broken.
Crazy nostalgia used to watch this, muppet babies and eureka’s castle when my grandma used to take of me when I was a kid haha
Just remember: when you cut down a tree, you're desecrating a gnome grave.
You monster.
I loved this show I watched it when my kids were younger that was there nap time I would lay down with them and watch this show, brings back a lot if good memories for me
Damn, I'm glad I was alone, when I watched this. I just cried like a kid, and I'm 32. Loved this show as a child.
it's 2019, and i still cry over this..
I don’t know who the fuck these characters are, and I still cried.
will at least the Fox found someone nice
Yes, a new gnome friend and a wife
Devastating and beautiful all at once. Goodbye David and Lisa. Your family is bigger then you guys even knew. You two raised 'a lot' of children.
Okay, I can't handle this. I'm out.
At least David was right when he said that Swift would find new friends after he left.
and a wife to take care
Me as I was 6:cries
Me as I am 30:cries
Christopher: I'm sure he'll make a fine husband for you Agnes.
Me: Dude! At least let him take her out to dinner and a movie first!
I am so happy I never saw this episode. David the Gnome was one of my favourite shows as a kid and should I have ever seen this episode, when I was young, I would have done only 2 things, either I would have cried so much or I would have been so confused.
I still cry every time I see this. Poor Swift, but at least he found himself a beautiful wife and a new friend. Great yet heartbreaking and tearjerking ending.

Press F to pay respects for Casper

I didnt watch a second of this before today due strictly to this video and im still crying
Dammit Pat.
HOW DID HE DO THIS TO US?!
WHY IN HELL DID I WATCH THIS RIGHT BEFORE I WAS GONNA GO TO SLEEP
Cause you lost control of your life
Damn this shit was heavy.
Oh man.... I loved this show and I absolutely thought this was such a bittersweet ending to a children’s series! Feels. All over....
I cried so bad as a kid watching this show end. I was young. Im now 40 and here I am crying like I did as a child. Thank you David and Lisa.
I love this show so damn much I never missed one episode of this show.
Dam bruh, wtf… 😢I remember this as a kid over 30 years ago but it never hit me like it did just now. I guess after you grow up and lose loved ones such and grandfolk & whatnot, perspectives change. Not to mention the yearning for my youthful self when I watched these for the first time.

Why disnt swift try and start a solo career? Some kind of spinoff called "Swift and friends" or "Swift on a mission" maybe "swift after David"
This could’ve gotten a spin-off for the Fox and the female he fell in love with they’d have cute fox babies
I remember this as a kid😪
Anyone else watching because of SourceFed?
LOL. . . yep!
And he was right, this is hella sad lol
Kristians Mosquera I actually am
Steee
They left out the part where the fox goes on to have lots of fox sex while the new gnome watches. At least that part is kind of happy.
It’s sad when some of your favorite people die
Does anyone think it would have been good as a spinoff with Christopher as the new gnome? Anyway I wanna think David and Lisa lived on in Gnome Heaven or the Summerlands or wherever.
It would've been awesome if Christopher had been the new star, so long as swift stayed around.
80s cartoons taught you real lessons
After the shattering heartache that swift felt watching his best friends die it only felt right that he got that happy ending at the end 🦊 #RIPdavidandlisa
My heart broke for Swift and Lisa. They were so sad.
My heart hurt for David and Lisa but it shattered for swift, seeing the tears fall from his eyes made me cry with him 💔
Thank God himself that they included this in the cartoon. It gets better regardless of how grim and depressing things get.
This was a childhood favorite of mine. This was so sad
