5) Racism
4) Family mortality
3) Gun Violence
2) Drugs
1) Abandonment
Amazing how this show could be so funny and yet be able to touch upon such serious topics.
agree
This show and Facts of life (yes that show is corny) yet facts of life hit some BIG issues as well.
Family mortality? Mortality... Family.. FAMILY KOMBAT -mortal kombat Intro-
+MRBP2 funny how u have racism at 5. psh. try being a minority
spadedot I was counting down in the order that we see them in this video, smart guy. I'm not classifying any of these issues as any more or less serious than the others.

Problem is within the first 30 seconds PROBLEMMMMM! Yes there is a law against driving too slow it’s called impeding traffic and is dangerous.
“No person shall drive upon a highway at such a slow speed as to impede or block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic, except when reduced speed is necessary for safe operation, because of a grade, or compliance with the law.”

Yep. A real father and a real man understands this.
@@jskins714 *"YeP. a ReAl fAtHeR AnD a Real maN UnderStAnDs This."* shut fuck up that isn't what a real man does that what a responsible human being does
Yes, I love that part. Phil was right about that, that's the way it was for 3 of my great nieces, their sorry no for nothing Dad's. Same situation with them as Will's Dad.
It’s sad that the Lou Smith character could be rehabilitated or redeemed. It would’ve been interesting to see what Ben Vereen could do with such a character, but the producers chose the easier re-abandonment angle & reinforcement of Uncle Phil as the true father figure to Will.
This is more than acting. 😔

Dam. Will smith wasn’t only an actor, he was a fricken therapist at certain times
Sofia Scarpa ong my nigga
Sofia Scarpa yes
wasn't there a movie called Date Doctor
Just streets smarts my boy. Just street smarts...
Yes, he was
The drugs scene is underrated. The family that took him in on one side of the room and him all alone on the other. Will’s last “I’m sorry” he puts his hands out like he wants a hug, like he needs somebody, and Uncle Phil is there for him. As the show progresses by season you see how uncle realizes he has to not only provide for Will but also love him like his son.
That scene is my favorite, I agree!
Whats the episode from the hospital?
matsko _vdb bullets over bel-air
Season 5 episode 15 :)
Naqi i cried at the drugs scene
I fucking broke into tears at that scene, bro
"I saved your life! I want the gun!" always makes me cry. He probably saved his life twice in that moment.
He did
Me too... Gimme a hug minniebear... We can cry together. 😭😭😭
Such a touching moment to witness. Especially when you done been thru something similar.
To see carlton break in fear is heartbreaking.
He literally did 😭
No more slaps Will
That line: "how come he don't want me man..." That breaks me. Every time.
that part gets me as well, it hits really close to home as my mom was a similar case and still is. Uncle Phil was the best character and did the best things, he really is the father that Will should have had and I'm glad that they had several scenes where Uncle got to be the one Will needed the most
Yes, that line too breaks me Every. Single. Time.
Just one of the best episode of that show.
That line wasn't acting, it was truth
It was acting. the Will Smith not having a Father myth is just that, a Myth. He's talked about his dad in interviews
manic mania FR IT BREAK ME DOWN EVERYTIME 🤦🏾♀️so fuckin sad
It must be hard to pull off this type of drama in a feel-good comedy show - but Will Smith nails it.
Will smiths acting is so good it's like this stuff is really happening and it gives me chills
Yeah but in the last one he was talking about his real dad
+Manny Santiago google it. that was proven false.
the moment befor will go to the left side and avery hugged him, you rly can see how avery noticed that the last couple sentences... did not exist on the script. Thats why he hugged him this hard. He knew he speaks about his own real father. I cry everytime because my own father rejected me and my whole family for his new wife
+HeadWalkHard His father was a big part of his life, he was crying cause his friends went through stuff like that
“...........I was gonna eat that man.” I like how they blend humor into heartfelt moments like that
True Facts
I mean would you get emotional. Short answer is yes but at the same time you are trying your hardest not too. So just to keep from crying you laugh or make others laugh
@@yankee1147 you cry and you cry alone
And right before that with “I’ll close my eyes”
Yeah this show was perfect man. My all time favorite family sitcom
We all knew what #1 was...

+Man behind a cameras (BigBrudda fan.) no I'm not saying you don't know how to speed his name. I'm saying that's the wrong will smith. The one who died is an athlete not the actor.
I miss these kinds of shows, shows that actually taught values instead of ignoring them all together. Uncle Phil was a great father on the show
You watch Blackish?
Me too
Yes he was a true legend
check out this Disney Show called Girl Meets world.. its funny and kinda deep and gets emotional at times and also it teaches a lot of values.

My best friend used that line on me and it fuckin destroyed me i didn't say shit back and just hugged him my mom walked out on me and my brother when I was 8 and I've always asked why my mom didn't want me so I know the pain of that all too well and seeing someone I care for and love more than anything going through that pain hurt to see luckily he has a amazing mom who works her ass off to provide for him and his little brother
I don’t think y’all know how much justice Will did that last scene. They hit those stages RIGHT ON THE HEAD:
1. You call them by their first name bc you realize that they’re not a parent to you and never have been
2. You act nonchalant; like it didn’t matter in the first place.
3. You get ANGRY at them and brag about how well you did without their sorry asses.
4. You just break down and turn into that kid that just wants love and approval. And you wonder what’s IN you to make them not wanna be around you.
Truly powerful.
The build up in tone of his
Voice
From cheerful to angry was so smooth
I'm sorry but if you're gonna act like it doesn't matter then why brag to them about how much you didn't need them. It may seem like they don't care but at the end of the day everyone in the situation is hurt. But they could've done better tho. Lol
@@chitowner3128 lol you just said it dude: you’re ACTING like it doesn’t matter; meaning it truly does. Hence the need to prove to them how much better off you are without them.

@@Whatsupdoc69420 So you rather let the child grow up potentially without a father figure? A good way to live huh? Selfish.
@@TrexMC Selfish seems to be most of the population of the world, and that's not even bringing up the fact that they'd rather not help to raise a child and would rather let one grow up alone. Infact, that's including the people who are like 'I'd just rather not have a kid to begin with.' Most of the left have this mindset. It's completely selfish to expect the world to conform around you to your will, but that's how liberals would shape the laws and government for them.
Red Nova Well there’s nothing wrong with deciding not to have a child. Of course it’s a selfish decision, but so is every decision we make even if it is called selfless. Don’t know if you meant it to be a negative, but that’s the way it came off to me so I apologize if that’s not how you meant it.
Red Nova you do realize government and society is OURS to shape right ? That’s what we SHOULD be doing you stupid fuck. Classic conservative
First things first rest in peace uncle Phil, for real.

All of these are heartbreaking. But the “how come he don’t want me” will always hit home.
My sister went through that sort of love abandonment and abuse. Hits hard a little for me as well.
@@user-km4st7un7r I am so sorry to hear that. 😢
I was a teenager when I first saw this scene, although it was years after the original airing because I was like three when this episode released. This scene has always made me cry because of the place I was at mentally when I first saw it. I gave up on my father a long time ago but I still see him every now and then, that won't make this scene any less real for me.
@@NottherealLuciferdang
I’m Caucasian but I saw that scene for the first time and yes those words how come he don’t want me were heartbreaking and gut wrenching and I heard someone in the audience crying too
comedies now a days are straight slapstick. older sitcoms knew how to interject some serious scenes without letting the audience forget they are still watching a comedy. it is a talent and a fine line.
never cried to a show like this one and scrubs, damn right in the feels
Karen Thomas Thing is, some comedies feel off when they try serious scenes. with the nature of fresh prince it feels natural to put in some emotional moments that relate to real world problems (Being stopped, being abandoned by your father that sort of stuff)
My wife and kids was like this at parts
The hell? All old shows were straight slapstick. Shows didn't start getting depth until 2000 or so
I don't think HIMYM did it as well but I definitely learned a lot from that show
The older I get the more I begin to understand the 4th scene. When Carlton is avoiding his father's heart attack. It's so frightening that you just want to escape the reality even for a little bit because once you accept it, it becomes too real.
Same
All these scenes are far too real
I did that when my grandmother died. I drove from Maine to California just because I felt like if I stopped it made it real. It took almost six months for it to fully sink in.
I did that when my aunt was in the hospital.
I did the same when my dad was diagnosed with a brain tumour,just like Charlton I was in total denial and began arguing with doctors and friends telling them they had it wrong,that it was something simple that could be fixed and that he wasn't dying.
R.I.P Dad
"I would stop it" -Carlton Banks an innocent child in a guilty world
It's so amazing how little Carlton knows, about life outside bel air, but he has been sheltered, from Society's danger's his entire life, and as soon as he experienced, a dangerous situation he armed himself with a gun.
@@eivindgjengstjohansen9625very sad because Carlton represents children who are exposed to such evil, imo
The last scene deserve an Oscar for will extraordinary acting just brilliant
Will wasn't acting for that last bit. He actually got upset and sad.

Will - "You know where my father is?"
Carlton - No
Will - Well neither do I
this part hit me so hard
"How come he don't want me, man?..."
Shit gets to me every time.
It is situations like this that make men like will realize when a father doesnt accept them to become even stronger in life and strive to become a better person and potential father than their so called father will ever be,
Weldon Hanson I think he was referring to Will Smith's character on Bel Air
Aesop Ruvelas Actually, at the part where Will starts crying at the end and asks "Why don't he want me, man??" wasn't acting, he really was emoting all that and wasn't acting when it came to the crying.
Videogame Fan Will Smith's father was very much in his childhood and encouraged him in his acting career.
Wait, really? Sheesh, I guess *every single person I know was lying.*
"You too ... Lou" - 10:59 - one of the best put-downs in sitcom history
Yep it let him now that he will never seem him as his dad ever again
Danny62 I never caught that before. ouch.
Anyone who didn't know the story would never understand why calling him Lou was such a big thing. These scenes are what makes Fresh Prince my favourite TV show, even though I wasn't alive in the 90's.
Danny62 that shit was tough
This that shit was deep
The gift Will got his dad actually makes it even more heartbreaking
That's exactly what I thought.
Underrated powerful moment in that last scene was this part at 10:56.
"It was great seeing you, son."
"You too....Lou."
Killed him with that lol straight dagger

Such a powerful scene, so many kids live that pain everyday. I can't imagine having your parent walk out on you as a kid, then years later having to relive that pain all over again
@@marilynduff-banks2726that scene always reminds me of hearing my brother sobbing to my mom about his dad not wanting him at 34 years old, it’s so heartbreaking to see and i couldn’t imagine that pain.
people always say that in the #1 scene the most heartbreaking moment is when he says, "how come he don't want me man?" But for me, personally, the moment that always makes me shed tears is the lead up to and when he says, "To hell with him!" The pure emotion of that minute long sequence, with the climax of that one statement, has always made me shed tears.
aaron p exactly it’s not the “how come he don’t want me” line that gets me it’s the pure anger and disappoint he shows when he yells that gets me
That was the last scene
"How come he don't want me man" that gets me so hard since my father said that I wasn't his daughter when I was baby. I never seen him or gone to visit him as a baby so yeah and also my mom told me that.
The Man I’m sorry u dumb..
The hardest part for me is when he yells "... And there isn't a damn thing he can tell me about how to love my kids". Goddamn

"You too... Lou."
yeah.. that one did it.
And when Will said that to his father, he (Lou) knew he was dead to his son!
I love how even though Carlton and Will always bicker and joke with each other, they’re the ones who have the most love for each other. That’s how it really is..

best part? They are like that in real life too. They still chill together.

He was good in the Pursuit of Happiness, but that's about it. Nothing more.
ali z LOL Jaden Smith ain't a bad actor. Your hate for Jaden clouded your vision, just like how people's hate for Kanye clouded their vision of his ability as a producer
You know what is most obvious to me? The sound of silence. This was a show that truly led scenes breaTh. It didn’t shy away from a tough conversation and then cut somewhere else. You were right there in the moment with these characters and sometimes silence speaks the loudest. Beautiful art form that’s lost sometimes in modern tv. Everyone scared you won’t pay attention. I’ll be dammed if everyone including the set crew weren’t glued to these performances. Because it’s real. And that’s what television should be.
Televised theatrical scene, truly a lost art
Damn, Will Smith used to be an incredible actor. Also, R.I.P. James Avery, one of the most underrated and underappreciated.
@Thomas Garcia Used to be? He’ll *ALWAYS* be an incredible actor.

In all honesty, this show is the real "Cosby" show. The first show about a successful black family based on realism. It was much easier to relate to the folks on this show than shows like the Cosbys and Family Matters. It had a lot of sincere moments and charisma that no other show on tv during the 90's could duplicate.
+Moves McJagger Naaa Cosby's was more relatable, same kind of family just different environments
+Moves McJagger The only reason Family Matters was anything was because of Urkel
Let's be honest, any relatability Family Matters had went out the window once Urkel showed up. Especially with his "inventions" and all the crazy shit that happened. Literally the only thing I remember about that show was the incident with the "Bruce Juice".
+Blazieth or stevil. lol
So true family matters was tackling some hard issues like the racism school president ep but yea those life lesson started to fade fast, the gun one when they were in high-school was good and the gang violence ep but like after season 4 it got real corny, stopped being about family matters and more about what urkel gone d

The last scene is the one that always. When I first watched the scene, it hit me hard, but when he said “how come he don’t want me man?”, and then they hug it out, that made me cry so hard and made me feel appreciative that Uncle Phil was there to raise him to be proper. Best sitcom ever
And when Lou lost every ounce of respect from Will by leaving him again. "You too....Lou"

No matter how many times I've seen this moment, it's never not made me tear up. It's so brilliantly written and acted by both Will and Avery...
I can relate to will on that episode
Actually will goes off script in this scene and is referring to his own father, which makes the scene so genuine
A dagger to the heart, each scene. But the fourth one... man. From the first time I saw it in the 90s to now...😭.
To think that Uncle Phil had the capacity of scolding Will for the drug situation but at the same time being compassive and showing some love and forgiveness to guy who made a mistake. Such a great character. Rest in peace, Uncle Phil.
Uncle made him stew in that mess and made sure he felt it. That hug was everything
It hits me pretty closely because one of my brothers tried to commit suicide via overdose. Had he not texted my parents about what he was doing, he likely wouldn’t still be alive. I normally don’t fear things, but that event was the first time I really got scared.
I remember the first time I saw the last scene I cried so hard. Will's acting was amazing.
I know right!! But actually Will wasn't acting. When he was a kid his father left him too and those last words weren't scripted. And that hug too, uncle phil hugged him when he saw him crying..

The Cosby’s, boy meets world, family matters, even full House had its moments. TV was worth a damn back in the day
This just shows how much weight the Fresh Prince had. N the really raw talent that we don't have today. I love these old real situations the older shows touched on n so many different ways. The shows were more social n are still more social works of art.
"That's not you, man; that's them."
"I saved your life, you own me!"
Damn...
I miss shows like this, which actually portray real life problems and emotions.....
Right unlike these "reality tv shows" which is straight BULLSHIT.
I feel exactly the same way. All these bullshit shows that portray drama and tell women the wrong messages and tell men and little kids bad lessons. Shows that promote drugs, achohol, being abnormally skinny, and all that other shit that this world is caught up in today. We need more shows like this, and more shows like Full House also, that show problems, how to solve them. that show family issues and how they get through them
Vincent Tobin It's how you change a generation and culture. Change what's on the "idiot box"
I used to watch shows back in the 90s (was a kid then) and early 2000s. But now I surf the web for information and build my future. Television is crap now. I still have shows I will stream online but I refuse to make that a big part of my life.
SItcoms in the 80s and 90s taught values, even the cartoons. Now everything is sex, drugs, alternate lifestyles etc..
Nana Campbell Yeah, unlike shows like Honey Boo-Boo that have no relevance to anything we do in life. x_x
Shenron exactly like what is the point of that show ._. honestly
As soon as he says “To he’ll with him” I loose it every time then “How come he don’t want me man” I die a little inside

loose or tighten?
The last part with will and his father is more deeper than anything in a reality show and personally..that is close because my hole life my dad wasnt there for me...its a power moment in the show
Same
I will always say that this is one of the most underrated TV shows of my generation. It's a real shame that shows like this have been replaced by so-called reality shows teaching the complete opposite lessons to today's youth.
One of the greatest TV series of all-time...
*No* . It’s the greatest tv series of all time
the writers of this show were masters of changing the tone from funny to serious at the drop of a hat.
love how most of these moments involve will and carlton
When Will called his father "Lou", Will was just like: "You're finally dead to me."
It’s not the “Why Don’t he Want Me” it’s the “I stayed up all night for days asking when daddy was coming home”
Me to every since I was 3 I would ask my mom that.

For me i tear up when he screams, "WELL THE HELL WITH HIM!!!!" my dad never abandoned me, but my mom did.. to hell with her. Fuck her. Not a goddamn thing she can teach me about loving my kids. This show..
Yung Mickey Oh my god, everybody has different opinions. There is no right scene for someone to get emotional. 🙄
That is the build up
and this is why Will Smith is one of the best actors of ALLTIME hands down
Yes... not just his funny side that is unparelled. But stuff like this serious, that is even BETTER? Hands down, he is a Legend
Alfonso too, he is way too good!
o yea fresh prince was a great show
***** the two together doing an emotional scene Works flawlessly! btw i think i like Alfonso and Will more than, Will and Martin Lawrence together. i dont know i just feel like Alfonso and will are more Natural together :D
Rest in peace Uncle Phil. I wish the world had more fathers like him.
You can't actually drive 2 mph on a probably 60 mph road. You will get stopped for that. (But yeah I know the point of the first scene)
The point isn't the cops fault. It's the neighborhood. If you fit a description, you can't blame them for stopping you and checking. Be mad at the way thugs act, not the cops.
@ they may have fit the description but they just left it at that they didn't call their parents or lawyer but idk
@@Ninix0306 well, it is a TV show after all...
@ yeaaaah..
First thing first the were looking for a way onto the freeway. They were not on the freeway, secondly, there is systemic racism. They “fit the description” because they were young black males driving a Benz. The car was not reported stolen the cop just assumed that they stole it. Third it’s not just “thugs” being killed. Philando castille was not a thug, he was a law abiding citizen with a cow permit he told the cop like he was supposed to and didn’t reach for it but was still shot in cold blood. Actually look into stuff don’t just listen. Don’t just follow. Thank you for reading
I grew up without my father so I can definitely relate to that last one; had me in tears
so did I
same
same
me and my brother watched this and broke down.... not knowing my mom was in the other room crying too...
+Tim Jones :'( makes me sad.
This show was like no other..
Agree!
70s? lol
And should have this on netflix
Micah from Waipahu they do
Facts
The emotional openness of this show is incredible, especially for the time
" He may have been your father boy, but he wasn't your daddy. "
12:46, listen closely, that sound of a woman crying in the background is the girl playing Karen parsons, the woman who played hillary, Will's performance was so powerful, emotion and real, that she actually couldn't hold back the tears. Nor could any of us. And the reason it's so real is because while they were rehearsing James Avery the actor who played uncle phill told will after rehearsing a few "it's just not good enough, you need to do a better job, act with me, don't act around anything else, focus on me, you know the lines, you just need to feel the lines. Will saw James Avery as a real profession actor who he admired. Meaning he used Avery's criticism on his acting while rehearsing that scene as his source of emotion. So While they were recording Will adlibs the line at the end "why don't he want me man" and starts crying, Avery pulls him in close and whispers "now that's fu**ing acting right there." truly one of the best scenes in fresh prince and one of the most interesting behind the scenes moments in the show. Rip uncle phil
@@Nia-or2ex nope, will was a middle class kid, his dad was always there. These are facts.

This touch my heart I am crying my eyes out
😔👏🏻
The last really hits me on a personal level.
+ToughSunshine32 Same, I don't know my Father, seen him once my whole life, 19 Birthdays, Christmases and everything else and not even a fucking letter?!?! Some people just don't know responsibility, and some people are just assholes. I cry everytime I see that scene. Why don't he want me man?
+Josh Berry any one can be a dad it takes a man to be a fater
It makes me think of my mom. My parents got in a really rough divorce. And before I knew it, after taking care of me and my brother for a while, she decided she wanted to live her own life. So, now I only see her on visitation time. And to be honest, i wish I didn't have to. She's not the mom that raised me, and my brothers. Not the mom who married my dad. She's not my mom anymore.
+Dr. Dhoom I meant father
I am 17 almost 18 why
You know what scene I love too? It's when Carlton isn't allowed in a fraternity for not being 'black' enough and Will wants to stick up for him but Carlton is having none of that and sticks up for himself. And it ends with the two of them leaving together.
The way Carlton found out what the guy said was good too. Will tried to protect Carlton by lying, “We didn’t get in,” and Carlton went to confront the guy on Will’s behalf. The two really did care for each other.
And the Malcom X wannabe gets tossed
Uncle Phil was more of a father to Will then that deadbeat dad ever was.
You could even argue that's the reason why Lou walked out on Will again is because the whole family is viewing him as a black-sheep and they allegedly forced him to walk out on him.
@@kazallrobertsthat's hardly an excuse. He did it to himself. Somebody had to love Will.... and obviously Lou didn't. So yes, they had every right to be upset with Lou and treat him the way they did. No respect should ever be given to someone who runs out on their own family for any reason. Period.
@@papasilver78 You know what, not sound stupid but I sick of people defending that episode, get that running out on family is wrong but you can’t use that topic as a conflict resolution
"I saved your life, I want the gun"! Phenomenal acting from Willard Smith.
The last one always gets me.
Tierra Tip damming I hate showing emotions who has onions in the room fuck I'm crying
Wait until you have a son and you and the dude split up and you see the same thing happening to him that happened to you. Tell me how much it gets you then. 😭
Tierra Tip every damn time😭
Fax😭😭😭
Tierra Tip I've always related to that last one. When i was a child that's how i felt about my biological father.
"I'm feeling like will but I wasnt blessed with no uncle phil" joyner Lucas 2020
Everybody's talked about "Papa's got a brand new excuse" scene, but my all time fave scene will be when Will and uncle Phil agreed to talk on the phone every sunday, that scene always got me
Uncle Phil : Sunday...
Will : Sundays (corrected him)
Yessss! Tho series finale… definitely one of my favs as well.
I really hate when people say that the Fresh Prince was immature, because out of all the sitcoms I grew up as a child (like Full House), the show not only got better over time, but it is still regarded as one of the best sitcoms especially for its time. I think kids can watch it today and a lot of it would still be relevant.
Im 13 and love it!
Agreed - I hear a lot of people diss it because it's too silly but it actually deals with some heavy topics. Will kinda reminds me of the "why I think rape is genuinely hilarious" dude (google him if you don't know who I'm talking about) - he uses humour to cover everything else, which is common and relateable. But all too often people see an attempt to cover something with humour and assume that person doesn't take anything seriously - it's really not the case.
Your words are 100% true
Amen....
#iwatchfreshpants
Have to admit: Shed a tear at the last one.
+Marvin Nash Your not alone yo.......
+Marvin Nash Anybody who doesn't shed at least one tear at that scene has no soul.
+Marvin Nash That last one ALWAYS gets me, probably because I don't have a relationship with MY father
+jim hatten me too but it is ok
+jim hatten same man
When you think about it Will saved Carlton's live twice, First when he took the bullet and second when he took that gun.
What about the drugs and the locker,he brought him to the hospital
@@BeatDr0p_Beats Will was the one who caused that though.
How is taking the gun saving his life? Y'all know guns can help prevent you from being victimized
lol this show really portrayed will as street smart and Carleton as book smart
Its been like 20 years...till this day no matter how hard I brace myself, the last one STILL gets me.
I know right.. it hits you right in the feels.. no matter how hard you try to avoid it.. right in the feels..
Wills shaking lips is just to much to handle..
Hell yeah
This puts in perspective how deep will and Carlton’s relationship is fr
I was gonna like but it's at 420 so I cant
The thing I always loved about The Fresh Prince was that it never beat you over the head with "HEY! LOOK! THIS FAMILY IS BLACK! CAN YOU SEE HOW *BLACK* THESE PEOPLE ARE?! WE'RE SO COOL FOR DOING A SHOW ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE, RIGHT?!"
Instead, it was many different types of people. Will was the blatantly "ghetto" character, Carlton was definitely the "Leave it to Beaver" type nerd of the cast, Uncle Phil and Aunt Vivian had some hard lines to them, but were overall kind and educated people, while Ashley and Hillary were sort of trying to figure out who they were. But it never beat you over the head with "blaxploitation".
Even their episodes were ahead of their time, in the sense that while Will's perspective has some validity to it (being stopped by the cops), Carlton's viewpoint is equally valid, and in the end, the final judgments are left to the audience to decide. When is it truly racist, and when is it simply a police officer doing his job? Nowadays it would have been "The cop was wrong. Period.", but I appreciate the stance the Fresh Prince took.
I think it is great that the producers kept Carlton in character by him saying he would also stop somebody driving at 2mph if he was a police officer. Anything else would have been out of his character.
I'm sorry but I think you didn't get it then. The point was that the cops WERE being racist. That's why Uncle Phil says that he too had asked the same question Carlton did when he first got pulled over. The implication is that the question is naive to the cops true intentions
4:49 I was gon eat that
Can we agree this was one of the best shows ever to come out of the 90s?
Cerulean Walker yes
Cerulean Walker 80s n 90s yes
HUGE FACT
Close with Family Matters but yes Fresh Prince is the best
If only Jayden Smith could act like his father
i knw thank god theres no New Prince of Bel Air
Oh GOD, Imagine a reboot starring Jayden Smith. Now you have that terrible image in my head
Cause something changed in jayden I remember in The pursuit of Happiness, the day the earth stood still, and even in The Karate Kid he was a good young actor. Once he hit puberty something happened to him
+Kidastro123 its always puberty that gets them
Too true
i got mad respect for everyone in this show
That drug one when he said “this guy got me something that he said would keep me awake”. That got me
