Smiffy. The best scenes in this series were unscripted. This and “Papa’s Got a Brand New Excuse”. Okay, this one isn’t exactly the best but it’s pretty good nonetheless
+K19Silent Indeed. This is a moment in the history of humanity that needs to be recoded. Everyone loves it, hell even Aliens would enjoy watching this I assure you
this show is so different. That is why they went on for 6 seasons. They literally went to such boundaries, obviously annihilating the 4th wall. But, this show is very revealing to the real world, discussing issues in their episodes, and again breaking the 4th wall. Everyone loves this show. R.I.P James Avery
On a stage, there are 4 walls. There's the two walls (the sides where characters come and go), the background (where the characters appear on the stage), and there's the foreground i.e. the 4th wall. Unlike the previous walls, the 4th wall is "invisible" to the characters, but the audience viewing the characters can see through this wall. However, characters who are aware of their existence as "fiction" and aware of the audience are basically "breaking the 4th wall". Breaking the 4th wall is just characters aware of what/who they are.
It might have been Will Smith's show in a sense but Alfonso made me laugh more times than I can remember. This one had me laughing so hard, I was literally in tears...
For me all the characters made it special its too hard to choose a fav. Though I will say that some of the greatest and funniest moments were due to Alfonso and Will together and apart. But Geoffrey, Uncle Phil, Original Aunt Viv and Hilary were so crucial to that show it wouldn't have worked without them.
Jake Harrison i rather think that it was originally scripted with the end goldgem said, then alfonso ribeiro (carlton) came up with the idea to make it and the producers agreed.
Well he used to be a breakdancer and did a Pepsi commercial with Michael Jackson, I believe that’s how he was able to do that floor drag, because of his dancing background.
@@Thejordanenthusiast Yeah, I used to do that across my home's laminate floors. It doesn't have to come from breakdancing but that's for sure one way to do it. Just takes some grip strength or sticky palms and a good bit of upper body strength.
@Bobby Brady I know, I don't think I implied the guy above was wrong about Alfonso (Carlton's actor) dancing. I was pointing out that you don't need a dancing background to drag yourself across the floor like that. Alfonso could have just been a fit dude and still done it.
I remember when I saw Carlton do the dragging on the knees bit for the first time, and lose it! In fact, when I come across a slippery enough floor, I do the same thing habitually!
Though Carlton dragging himself across the floor is hilarious, I just love how his screaming momentarily stops/gets cut out before the elevator doors open.
@@graphics8178 Thats how it was for most sitcoms back in the day. They audience sat through the whole episode(s) retakes and all, then its edited to tv time slots. They would also do some extra stuff just for the crowd. Back then, it was way more exceptionable to go off script.
this is better than breaking the 4th wall! It's taking a missile and blowing up the wall and running through it to a point where the director was thinking "WHERE IN THE HELL DOES THE SCRIPT SAY RUN THROUGH THE CROWD CRYING LIKE AN IDIOT?!?!" This pretty much defines the whole point of breaking the 4th wall to the max!
Yes they did. Somewhere in the first season, Malcolm Jamal Warner turns up and in the scene we are shown a camera with either Fresh Prince or NBC emblazoned on it. I forget, I only saw that once on DVD a few years back.
+Mony Kuga It's what separates the "actor's world" and the "audience's world"; it's called the fourth wall because stages are usually three-walled, with the audience sitting at the fourth.
"The fourth wall then went on to sue Carlton Banks for $14 million due to it being almost killed." "Soon after, the fourth wall was broken AGAIN when Carlton went up to give the jury high-fives." - ABC News
Classic! This reminds me of one time in high school when we watched Mean Girls in class and one guy was cracking up when Regina went from screaming at her car outside to screaming as she entered her bedroom. He was like, "Why is she still screaming?!" 😂
How this show managed to be one of the funniest shows to one of the most heart-wrenching shows was amazing. There was this and “how come we can’t afford no ceiling?” Then there was “how come he don’t want me man?” While Phil hugs him and Will cries. This show. This. Fucking. Show.
It wasn’t. The script only went as far as Will saying “Gotcha”. After that, it was unexpected. The producers thought it was good enough to leave in the show.
Even though I know it's joke, the way Will says, "SHE'S STILL UP THERE!!!!" still gets me really messed up for a second before I start laughing at Carlton
Why did this actually make me cry 😂 the humor, the vibe, the live audience. Just a really wholesome experience and magic not present in shows these days
I remember I watched this episode when it first came on TV. I DIED laughing when Carlton hit the ground and started dragging his legs behind him on his arms! I die laughing everytime I see it still to this day! Nobody expected it! Will was surprised along with everyone else but they just kept filming!
I only saw this once and remembered it forever! When he dragged himself on the floor got to me. DWLMAO!!! I just watched it again for the second time and the reaction is still the same!
I actually almost died laughing the first time I saw this. I didn't expect Alfonso to run around the set like that. Best ending to a comedic episode EVER!!!!!!!
My favorite part is when he drags himself across the kitchen floor. It kills me every time.
+handidrummed So true looool
+handidrummed I die laughing when he comes out the elevator too lol
+handidrummed Yes, that part is brilliant!
+handidrummed it's really fun to do. you should try it sometime.
He reminded me of my dog dragging her butt on the floor.
I would love to see everyone else's faces, especially the director,
"Should we stop it here?
"Fuck it keep filming!"
Ha ha 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
F*ck it we roll
Alfonso was great for doing this, but credit to the producers for leaving it in the final cut of the episode.
What episode is it?
Will's Misery.
Smiffy. The best scenes in this series were unscripted. This and “Papa’s Got a Brand New Excuse”. Okay, this one isn’t exactly the best but it’s pretty good nonetheless
If they're looking back at this today, they're probably glad that they left it in.
So, "C" WAS prankin'?
Whoever decided to keep recording after Will said 'Gotcha' is a genius
+K19Silent It was Alfonzo's.
+TheBlackDemon1996 How do you know? How do you know this wasn't part of the show to be funny?
+TheBlackDemon1996 Yeah, now I realize it. Saw an article where he mentioned it.
+sha11235 it would Maine no sense to have it apart of the show..that's why its a blooper
+K19Silent Indeed. This is a moment in the history of humanity that needs to be recoded. Everyone loves it, hell even Aliens would enjoy watching this I assure you
Damn, Carlton broke the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th walls with this lol
😂😂
he didn't break walls. he broke dimensions.
"That's like... 16 walls!" -- Deadpool
Great. He tore down the whole fucking house...and knocked over two more walls next door.
He broke down the whole building
People always GIF the floor drag, but it's the elevator opening to Carlton dramatically bracing himself against it that gets me every time
For real
lol he had to catch his breath before he got out of the elevator.
mara.iara me too
sainttrunks1982 fun fact. It's actually Will
mara.iara No lie, both the floor drag and the elevator get to me all the time.
That crawl on the floor tho 😂😂
Samuel Birku I want to like this... But it's got and even 600 likes atm... Just can't break that
Lolllll 😂😂😂😂😂
It gets me everytime....
When the boss in a video game glides
Like crippled dog legs 😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Stuff like this is why Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was in a class of its own. They had no respect for the 4th wall, and it was awesome.
I agree I miss when sitcoms didn't care about the cameras or whatever. Today sitcoms act to uptight it's not the same

The 4th wall is the audience. When a character starts talking to the audience in a tv show/movie, it is called "breaking the 4th wall".
Brandon Lewis Well, more accurately, the fourth wall is the perceived barrier between the performance and the audience.
On a stage, there are 4 walls. There's the two walls (the sides where characters come and go), the background (where the characters appear on the stage), and there's the foreground i.e. the 4th wall. Unlike the previous walls, the 4th wall is "invisible" to the characters, but the audience viewing the characters can see through this wall. However, characters who are aware of their existence as "fiction" and aware of the audience are basically "breaking the 4th wall". Breaking the 4th wall is just characters aware of what/who they are.
1:58 You can hear Will laugh really hard when Carlton came out of the elevator.
Yep! This was great!!! 😂
Carlton beat the sh*t out of the 4th wall.
Lauren Asuzano and your wall
Jay Rev he broke my wall and my next door neighbor’s wall and my next door neighbor’s next door neighbor’s wall
Lauren Asuzano this isn’t a fourth wall break but ok
Vod Kinockers yes it is dumbass
I like to think he rammed it down and left the mess behind him
I don't know what made me laugh more, him running through the audience or him dragging himself on the floor.
I think dragging himself on the floor made my sides scream in happy agony.
I think that was an adlibbed scene, he is always over the top and crazy hilarious......LOL!!!
bigmoney66b I totally agree he did ablib that
The scene was supposed to end when Will said gotcha
You see things like this and can't help but wonder how or why Alfonso Ribero didn't become a huge comedic actor. Pure gold.
Maybe some people make enough money and then sit back and relax for the rest of their life.
He’s hosting America’s funniest home videos as we speak
He was known for carlton and made it hard for him to get bust into any other character. There's an interview of him I think talking about this.
Typed casted unfortunately
His character was so iconic he and specific to him
everyone just see carlton now in him
It might have been Will Smith's show in a sense but Alfonso made me laugh more times than I can remember. This one had me laughing so hard, I was literally in tears...
Yeah, the first time I saw this when I was a kid it was like the funniest thing I'd ever seen, and even today it's still one of the funniest.
Carlton, Uncle Phil and aunt Viv (1) were my favourite characters.
Carlton's Trix story was hilarious af! 😂😂
It was but Carlton made that show
For me all the characters made it special its too hard to choose a fav. Though I will say that some of the greatest and funniest moments were due to Alfonso and Will together and apart. But Geoffrey, Uncle Phil, Original Aunt Viv and Hilary were so crucial to that show it wouldn't have worked without them.
The best thing was that it was unscripted! Carlton was just meant to run out of the kitchen and the episode should have ended with Wills 'Gotcha'!
Thank you so much for this bit of trivia. I had no clue!
You're welcome!
Jake Harrison i rather think that it was originally scripted with the end goldgem said, then alfonso ribeiro (carlton) came up with the idea to make it and the producers agreed.
Well, definitely not the time for a ragnorok joke. Bates Motel season finale just recently was crazy.
+goldgem2 How do you know it wasn't written in the script for Carlton to keep doing that as an ending joke?
I think I just saw the Fourth Wall taken out and beaten to death with a rock....
No you just saw it Nuked!!!!
Oh God, it's still up there!
The fourth wall is so dead that they lost the ceiling
bankai237 Carlton has beaten the 4th wall into a point of no return
shuboy05 when? Because this isn’t a fourth wall break
That must be one slippery ass floor he just flew across it
...or he had glossy trousers.

You can tell it wasnt scripted, since you hear Will laughing just as hard as the audience lmao
Love the end part, when they hugged !
These people were family !
The bloopers @ the end of the show were gold. You could tell they were family, had a special bond & just loved ribbing each-other !!
Will Smith didn't go to Uncle Phil's funeral. Can't be that close
That's the part I like as well.
@@georgelucas2244 he was probably busy at the time doing something and couldn’t get out of it
@@georgelucas2244 I didn't go to some of my family's funerals. Doesn't mean I didn't love them.

Daryl Castillo lol
Daryl Castillo you are not alone my friend
Daryl Castillo think I ended doing the same thing the first time I smoked weed.
Omg I thought I was the only one! I did that for years after seeing this xD
You sir are a saint, because that'll make people laugh to the point of losing it😂😂😂
Carlton ran from Bel-Air to the Wilderness in like 2 seconds! Must be faster than Sonic the Hedgehog! 0_o LOL
Carlton! He can really move.
Carlton! He's got no attitude.
Carlton! He's the fastest thing alive.

This was funniest moment in the show's history. It was so random and hilarious. Carlton's crawl was hilarious
+Derek Dietrich That was so funny.
This has got to be the funniest moment in television history!!
+Calvin S I agree.
I agree
The fact this wasn't even apart of the actual scene 😭
fresh prince of bel air was really my child hood, this brings a tear to my eye :'(
Mine too... so funny, I couldn't help but cry...
They should make this show available on Netflix or something like that.
Cassidy Banks Me too. Straight nostalgia
Have you seen the reboot of bel air
Though Carlton dragging himself across the floor is hilarious, I just love how his screaming momentarily stops/gets cut out before the elevator doors open.
The episode was supposed to end when will started laughing with his mouth open. Big ups to the producers for leaving this in there😂😂😂😂😂
someone explain to me what the crowd was doing there? watching the show live?if so, how do they do retakes if they make errors infront of a live show?
@@graphics8178 Thats how it was for most sitcoms back in the day. They audience sat through the whole episode(s) retakes and all, then its edited to tv time slots. They would also do some extra stuff just for the crowd. Back then, it was way more exceptionable to go off script.
@@graphics8178 Ahh to be young again.
@@MisterZuluu Right, back then they could truly make the characters their own. Like Steve Urkel. We can’t get sitcoms like those nowadays.
Such was the depths of Carlton's pain that he tore open a rift between universes.
The slide across the floor and the pause in the elevator just shows incredible comedic skill that VERY few people possess!
Proof that this is an actual live audience and not a laughter track
Kinda glad he did this. I was believing it was a recorded laughter track 😳
Actually there were a couple of episodes where the audience was shown I can’t remember the other episodes but there were definitely some
"OH MY GOD! SHE'S STILL UP THERE!"
"OHHH MY GODDD!" *the breaking of the walls begins* LMAOOOO!
I lost it when he started sliding on the floor! XD
OMG was that not the funniest/ weirdest looking thing lol? Looked like he was being pulled on a rope.
I know! XD Great show.
I lost it when the elevator door opened
The hug at the end made me cry. I love the show and how close the actors were.
Who the hell let Deadpool write this script?
erm..what? dont understand the reference lol
MrAmmo30 read a deadpool marvel comic
MrAmmo30 Deadpool is a character known for breaking the fourth wall
Deadpool is like the cool-aid guy of the 4th wall.
LOL!!!
So I grabbed this rock man...LOL
What did he do
Lmao
@@gabrieldeguzman3503 Will implied that he hit Lisa with a rock and left her for dead
And oh my god she's still up there!!
Carlton draging him self across the floor is too funny😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

paraplegic and everything
"He Broke the 4th wall." Noo he didn't ..... HE MURDERED IT.
Best overreaction EVER!!!
That crawl on the floor was just priceless!!!
Carlton just broke all the walls. Not just the fourth one
I love how the rest of the cast were laughing at this.
There's breaking the 4th wall, and then there's this
yea.. he kinda erased it from history on this one.

I don't think the 4th wall ever existed in the 1st place during this scene.
Exactly!
This is like dropping a nuclear bomb on the 4th wall. XD
Exactly!
Brock LaPlume and hiring Deadpool to take out the remainder of it
Best running gag ever.
Get it? RUNNING?
*gag*
Why did I hear Carlton voice while reading this comment?😂😂😂
2021 and still hilarious, I don't know how those people weren't falling out of their seats.
they always broke the 4th wall in this show its amazing
Yes they did. Somewhere in the first season, Malcolm Jamal Warner turns up and in the scene we are shown a camera with either Fresh Prince or NBC emblazoned on it. I forget, I only saw that once on DVD a few years back.
Everybody loves carlton
Alfonsos face just before he starts shouting kills me every time 🤣🤣🤣
Carlton: what's a fourth wall?
You just beat the shit out of it.
+Mony Kuga basically a wall that seperates a film from reality.
+Mony Kuga It's what separates the "actor's world" and the "audience's world"; it's called the fourth wall because stages are usually three-walled, with the audience sitting at the fourth.
+Mony Kuga that was a dumbass question
Matt Allen You literally ran right through it.
no one could ever top this
This show seemed so fun to make, just positivity between all the cast members it's so nice to see
I like how they didn't use old recorded audience laughters.
This shit right here broke the 5th wall.
Legends say he’s still running 🏃
Remember seeing this back in the day and thinking what a beautiful moment and how close these two must be in real life.
He better get an Academy Award or Oscar for this shit
if not I will call bull crap -_- they better give him one
How do you think that shit works.....? This was yeeeears ago
this was a TV series anyway, Oscars only go to movies
Cvetelin Kyukov I have no experience upon this matter, which awards are given to TV?
***** Emmys

It was un tell the floor drag
Thin he kept going

I had to rewind this over and over, LMAO. especially the part at 1:58. will screaming laughing omg. so funny
I would have loved to be in the audience that day but I don't think I was born yet...
This was from the fall of 1994. When were you born?

That is a well polished floor for Carlton to slide on so easily
1:13 when u realize Tom Jones was in town for a concert yesterday and just found out.
Shout out to whoever waxed that floor for Carlton lol👍🏽
This was one of my favorite moments. I love at the end when he and Will hugged it out.
boy when he just magically appeared in the elevator I bout cried
Legend says that he's still running around that studio, and whatever is built there now.
That part where he props himself in the elevator doorway is the peak of dramatic flair.
One of the greatest moments ever. I can tell the whole cast was laughing! Will Smith and Alfonso lost it!!
Dang. I take back what I said about the ceiling 4th wall break. THIS is the single most best wall break EVER.
One of the funniest moments of this show. Period.
This is why I love old sit coms. Every character was funny in their own way, even Jeffrey. But first time I saw this, I was amazed yet laughing
I absolutely love that scene!!!! The drag across the floor is what does it for me! lmao
That wasn't 4th wall breaking, that was 4th wall nuking
4th wall break? this went way beyond the 4th wall
Well he broke the 5th wall
Mace the Omnilution Nah the 10th wall
The outer wall of the universe
I saw this when it originally aired. Had me literally rolling on floor laughing!
This is my favorite episode... I love Carlton, and his humor.
Which Episode is this
1:32 LOL that crawl slide!!!!
When Carlton runs into Will at the end, you see James Avery and Joseph Marcell standing there laughing.
The final hug is the best way to end the episode
Best. Fourth wall break. Ever.
Still love how he runs into the live studio audience lmao
They broke so many walls they couldn’t afford a ceiling
i remember watching this on tv, i literally rofl'd lol
That crawling bit was so funny:-) lol
Deadpool: I’m gonna be the king of fourth wall breaking!
Fresh Prince: Hold my beer.
Carlton transcends dimensions and realities
I wish more shows didn’t take themselves so seriously. We need more insane fourth wall breaks like these
