Samsung serves up a giant helping of adorable in this ad with real-life couple Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell, who are seduced by the Galaxy Tab S into ditching their plans for actually experiencing the world in favor of endless screen time.

Shepard and Bell—aka Crosby Braverman from Parenthood and Princess Anna from Frozen (OK, Veronica Mars, you snobs)—are certainly a cute couple. A little too cute at times?

Let's just say if you're irritated by the opening bedroom scene, in which Shepard ruminates about Bell's apparently wondrous fingers ("How do you even hold things with these little guys?"), you might want to skip the rest of the spot.

For those sticking it out, the McKinney spot is pretty entertaining, though, as the Galaxy Tab S provided endless opportunities for not going hiking—like watching animal videos, playing video games and singing along to 1970s R&B hits.
