Milo Ventimiglia's This Is Us Super Bowl ad is definitely our favorite so far this year - poignant, funny, and just what we need before we see tonight's special episode that's sure to break hearts.

"The big game is fast approaching and for many of us, this day brings us an opportunity to gather with friends and family, loved ones we don't get to see all that often," Ventimiglia begins in the ad.

"But in 2018, gathering friends and family, well, it's not as easy as what it used to be. The country is divided. Sometimes that can make it tough to find common ground, but this year … this year, I think we should all take a deep breath, find the ability to forgive, and remind ourselves there is no difference so great that we can't overcome it," he then ladles some chili out of a Crock-Pot as the hashtag appears.

In case you need a refresher on why "This Is Us" is defending Crock-Pot, well, the show created a HUGE stir last week when it revealed the Pearson family's home fire started when a faulty Crock-Pot set a dish towel aflame while everyone slept.

But as the ad explains - and Crock-Pot also later said themselves - your slow cooker is safe. Don't toss it!

In the meantime, brace yourselves, everyone. Tonight, after the Super Bowl, we get to finally see what happened when the house burned down. OH. BOY.
