Will's father leaving always hits home for me but an underrated episode is Queen Latifah's episode about body positivity. That is an issue I deal with still, but slowly I am gaining acceptance of my own body, and I am loving how l look.
Ty, God,Fresh Prince & @MsMojo ❤ for
I learned something from this show so when I turn 34 I will chase my own dreams
Bullets over Bell Air made me have caution for not be at night at a ATM. Love uncle Philip he is more a father figure to Will!!!!
All the episodes make me happy and very sad 😔 and they are really good show to watch 😊
The one where he’s playing card games with the ghosts in the cemetery and the little boy says he was killed by a drunk driver. That one just hits me different than the other serious moments in the series. 😐
Reportedly, Ben Vereen, who played Will's deadbeat dad, Lou, was also in tears when he exited the scene, leaving Will for the last time. As Vereen is a father himself, he couldn't imagine ever abandoning his children so callously.
People also don’t seem to notice how broken James Avery looked before Will delivered his final line.
That happened to will smith
Will’s dad leaving episode showed 3 things
- Will Smith can play dramatic/serious roles
- Lou is the type of father men SHOULDN’T be like
- Uncle Phil is the type of father men SHOULD be like
Yes totally agree 💯👍
I loved that frat episode when Carlton stood up for himself and told that pledge leader “Being black isn’t what I’m trying to be, it’s what I AM.” Yes Carlton 👏🏼
Yeah, I was so proud of carlton😊
But the best part is when Carlton and will leave , one of the other members of the pledge committee and tells the leader of pledge that he doesn’t speak for the rest of them and that he was going to have him (the head of the pledge committee) kicked out of the fraternity!😊
Such a good episode one of my favourites ❤
Mine to 😋
And yet... It is still going on. .. only now.. it is about "not having the right politics"....
"How come he don't want me, Man?" The tears come flooding out, every single time! 😭💔 Will apparently had a decent relationship with his own dad, who played an active part in his life, but based that moment on some of his friends, who didn't have close relationships with their absent dads.
If you listen in the background when Will and Phil hug, you could hear Karyn Parsons (Hilary) crying
@@alexandregingras1622 Ikr? That episode always broke my heart growing up.
Mine to😢
@@marycanary Awww
RIP James. Seeing him and Will in that scene after Lou leaves Will again is very heartbreaking and poignant. Even to this day. Gets me every time.
I also love the wide-eyed glare Phil gives Lou when he is making excuses
"Home is Where the Heart Attack is" really hits hard for me. Assomeone who's father is constantly in and out of the hospital I value every single moment I have left with him.
Honestly if you don't mind me replying to your comment in so many ways I can relate to "Home Is Where The Heart Attack Is" because when I was a little girl I lost a beloved cousin to that before I turned 9 years old and to this day I still miss him.
As a person who has heart disease, that episode also hits home for me. It’s also difficult considering James Avery later indeed died from a heart attack.
Mine didnt die of heart attack but from brain damage at least we shared words the day before he had that accident the next morning and never woke up!!!
@@COMPFUNK2 Not to mention, that Lance Reddick, he, unfortunately passed away this year back in March, at just 60 years old, and he apparently passed away from heart disease. And what’s unfortunate is that, James Avery actually passed away almost a decade ago, on December 31st, 2013. And this year in March on March 17th, almost 10 years later after James Avery died, is when we lost Lance Reddick, and they both passed away, almost a decade apart, from heart disease. And again, that is what makes this issue very unfortunate, as well as heartbreaking, for anyone out there who has a father, who is in the hospital because of, a heart attack, or even, because of heart disease. And I hope that anyone out there, who has a father out there in the hospital, I may not know any of you, and I may not know your fathers, but I hope that all of your fathers who are in the hospital with a heart attack or with heart disease, will make it out alive. And I should know, because when I was growing up, my dad has had, 2 heart attacks, as well as 2 open heart surgeries, and I think the first one was, when I was at least 6 years old, and the second one was, when I was 14. And he is still alive, and he is still with us to this day. But again, I really hope for anyone out there, if you have a father, who is in the hospital because of a heart attack or because of heart disease, I hope that he will make it out alive for any of you, because we are, all human, and we all have unconditional love for all of our fathers. And that is what I know about that.
That one hits now more than ever since my dad isn't the same invincible soldier he was when I was a kid but he's getting it day by day
Will’s dad leaving will forever be the saddest TV moment ever
Yeah it is
"How come he don't want me man" gets me every time 😭😭
The “how come he don’t want me man” scene speaks volumes. Ben Vereen (who played Lou) cried after he walked off screen because he is a father and he could never imagine leaving his kids. James Avery whispered into Will’s ear “That’s acting!” RIP James Avery (Uncle Phil). ❤
The scene with Will's Dad broke me because I know what he's going through because my Dad walked out on me when I was 5 years old
I’m so sorry he did that to you 😢
Hope you have someone like uncle Philip thats more a father. I mean I'm doing that for my only nephew!!!!
I’m sorry to be what he did. It’s he who loses the opinion of seeing what a amazing person you grew up to be. It’s his lost. You are worth it
My parents split when I was almost 5 years old (broke up not divorced)
“How come he don’t want me man”
That’s something no kid should ever have to ask about their dad (or mom)
Sadly I know that very well with my own father
@@angelaholmes8888 And I’m truly sorry that happened to you
"A marriage proposal takes a tragic turn"
Me: *lmfao, Trevor went plab*
17:06 “Being black isn't what I'm trying to be, it's what I am. I'm running the same race and jumping the same hurdles you are, so why are you tripping me up? You said we need to stick together, but you don't even know what that means. If you ask me, you're the real sellout.” - Carlton 👍🏽 the speech was absolutely brilliant. No doubt it was a powerful moment. Alfonso Ribeiro nailed it
So true
When Will was going to step out into the world, is hard, but what made it sweet is Uncle Phil called him his son because out of all the things Will got himself into, he was there for him.
The episodes where Will and Carlton got arrested just for being African-American, and where Will got shot when him and Carlton were mugged resulting in Carlton buy a revolver, forcing Will and later Uncle Phil to have a talk with Carlton about the dangers and consequences of being a vigilante are very impactful as they tackle actual questions concerning the fallacies within the justice system that still to this day don't have clear cut answers.
"How come he don't want me, man?"
I asked that and cried with Will, since my dad abandoned me when he left my family.
Rip James
I'm rewatching the series with my parents, I remember how I loved it as a kid. But a few days ago we watched Mistaken Identity and I end up crying. Carlton lives in a bubble, and it's hard to watch how will tries to teach him how the world actually sees them, but the real thing that made me cry the most was... this was the 90s, it's been decades, and nothing has change.
And it lacked progress
I like that they even went over the scenes that were played for laughs like Trevor’s death (1:45) and Jazz with his hands up (10:13). While those scenes did make us laugh they have realistic and sometimes dark truths behind them
Jazz didn't mocked himself
The frat episode where the pledge leader don't want to accept Carlton and that beautiful and moving speech that Carlton gives. In addition, the guy who says that the leader doesn't speak for the rest of them.
A sad tragedy
As someone who is currently watching Fresh Prince this is perfect timing
Thanks for uploading this, the show really was amazing and taught us a lot, waiting for a potential Family Matters list one day
I love the line from Uncle Phil at the finale You are my son end of story
Have a good day everyone. God bless you all.
Vivian: janice never described him as tall not that i have problem with people that are tall
be at peace James
No matter how many times I see Uncle hugging Will after his father walks out it always makes me tear up.
I'm glad I got to experience this when I was from 12-18. The greatest show of the 1990's. Uncle Phil was the best RIP Mr. James Avery. You were my favorite TV dad!!
Wills father wakiibg out on him
Carlton standing up to the frat leader
Will teacing Carlton about police brutality and racism
Will getting shot and Carlton finally understanding police brutality
The final episode and moving on
Uncle Phil’s heart attack and Will confronting him
How come he don’t want me 😭😭😭 pulls at my heart strings every time i see it
Same here. 😔😔😔😔😔😔😔🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
The most powerful episodes for me the one with Uncle Phil’s heart attack,the sexual education episodes, Police Brutality and Racial Profiling. Great video.❤
There’s some funny irony in the dance scene with Aunt Viv because Janet Hubert was in the musical Cats so muscle memory came into play.
I thought the drunk driving episode was sad. While I'm glad that Will didn't get behind the wheel, that conversation he had with that kid was a wake up call to Will and a harsh reality check to those that was the drunk driver or the victim of one!
Love this, Will dad leaving will forever be saddest TV moment even how come he don't want me man gets me every time 😭😭😭,😭😭😭, 😭😭😭 Rip James 😇😇😇
The whole ranting about his father but finished it with a line i will neve forget. "how come he dont want me man"
U forgot the episode THOSE WERE THE DAYS
22:37 This moment hit hard
I hated it when Carlton be called a sellout and he’s speech too top dog it makes me feel sad rock bottom
How come he don't want me man gets me every time 😭😭😭 😭😭😭 love this video, Will's Dad leaving Will forever be the saddy Tv moment ever the scene with will Dad broke me because I know what he's going through my dad walked out on me when I was 5 years old
If carlton is of age he has a second amendment right.
Do the top 10 worst things D.W. Read has done in Author
janice was great on the show
Yeah she was 🙂
you forgot thw western philosophy episode where will dropped the class and uncle phil had that talk with him about how he quits as soon things get hard
"Look I don't wanna see my father with tubes up his nose, okay?!"
"Carl, there's gonna come a time, when all he HAS is tubes up his nose."
"Not my father!"
"Everybody's father!"
Damn. . . this is deep.
so cool man
When did carlton and will become close?
I think the episode where Will tried to make himself approved by "Mr. No" and the girl of his dreams was interesting. It also shows how a father and daughter have different ideas of who the daughter should marry. It should come down to the daughter's choice, and the father should be open to his daughter's idea of who she loves.
Ojarumaru 🌋
so sad man and cool
Sweet
Just say yo hits hard for me and the episode where he got drunk is similar to the full house where kimmy got drunk
This is different
Number 8 is my favourite one on this list because it shows that any race can prejudice to others not just white to black people
One of my top 5 favorite shows ever
Like the time Will Slapped Chris Rock, solving a very serious issue of when a person shit talks your wife.
the last one hurt bc my dad died ):'
Would YouDo Family Matters Next.
Yes
for me were:
Just say yo"look all ik is someone real close to me who i love a whole lot could be dead right now n itd be all my fault im sorry man"
Home is where de heart attack is" Will feeling regret coz he gave Uncle Phil a meal dat gave him de heart attack"
bullets over belair" i saved ure life man i saved ure life u OWE ME now gimme de gun Carlton gimme de gun i saved ure life i want de gun"
blood is thicker then mud" Carlton being left out coz hes black n rich
papas got a brand new excuse"how come he dont want me man"
u got to be a football hero" i was playing on de sidewalk dis car bumped a curb took me out de driver was drunk"- billy de young boys speech to Will bout him drunk driving
I think it's very telling how backwards we've moved since the 90's, that she says "I'm not a size 6" which is now considered, both professionally and medically, overweight for most women, depending on their height. The average height for a woman is 5'6" and at 140-150lbs she would likely be a 6, but her body fat percentage would be in the high end of overweight, nearing obesity range.
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I have to confess I had a very scary experience that also had me wanting to hold you Stun gun & 2 cans of pepper spray & personal Alarms on my Keys&my Travel backpack so I am never be a victim again.
&a breed of dog either big or a small breed dog that might end up being my fur baby & my body Guard & buddy. 😇🐶🐕🐕🦺
She was 40!? Come on, that's not that old. I know people at that age who are in better shape than ME! And are REALLY good dancers! But 1993 was a long time ago...a more realistic take on it would be not "hey you're old!" jokes over and over...
But at that time it was more progress
You're darn right Uncle Phil had the final word.
21:15 THIS IS SO WRONG
Seems this is "sweeps" time.
I Thoroughly enjoyed this, as The Fresh Prince was one of my favorite shows growing up. One thing however that isnt true is at about the 10:50 mark with regards to police brutality. Washington Post has numbers fhat show that in fact the “problem” isnt much of a problem as people make it to be. You can search up unarmed black people shot by police oficers and the number is miniscule for every year charted by that study.
This is more of a ethnic profile.
Today ' s TV Sitcoms should return to these very important Subject matter. 😓😥😇
And well, related to the ongoing issue of racial profiling, where does that leave, a police officer who is black, and if his or her mom or dad or brother or sister, or even his or her cousin aunt or uncle, what would that police officer do, if anyone in his or her family, was to end up dead, all because of the ongoing racism, as well as the prejudices, in his or her town, especially with the local police departments? And who knows if this ongoing unfortunate issue, will or won’t come to an end?
That's a big deal
Carlton has the same troubles? He's loaded!! Father is a judge
Too bad will Smith couldn't take lessons from own show.
Slap the rock
I still cant watch that episode with will dad.
I hated when uncle Phil have a heart attack but he did die in the real life of open heart surgery oh and i truly love the black history
And yet.. now.. the Peacock streaming site is being allowed to "cancel" some of this... especially the parts that remind people that some have more of the privilege they project others have "over them".
Perfect example is the episode where they "teach will a lesson in respect for women".. by her acting like a psycho. No.. what is always missed is that respect is a two way street... and mind games are a good way to get the opposite of what you are looking to get.
in the number one, though.. every time I see it, I want to reach into the scene, hug will, and tell him: *_"I have been asking that about my 'dad' my whole life."_*
What ?
Considering that racial profiling, is still very much an unfortunate and heavy issue that is still going on to this day, I hope very much, that if there is a police officer out there who is racist, as well as a police officer who is prejudice, I hope that he or she will watch the video of this show here on UA-cam, giving them the eye opening message, that he or she should not be racist, as well as prejudice, and not arrest the wrong person, or even the wrong people, because they think that the black person driving the car could be a criminal, when it turns out that is not the case. And well, even if it’s not the case, it still goes on and on, and we are all still hoping that this will come to an end, but it doesn’t look like that it will, says racial profiling still goes on to this day. And the racial profiling is also, a big part of what unfortunately leads to a white racist police officer, killing a black person, because as I have learned myself, racism is also what can kill someone, especially somebody black, and if that person dies of the hand of a white and racist police officer, as well as if that white police officer is prejudiced. But it’s still an ongoing issue, and it doesn’t look like that the issue will ever come to an end, even if we all want for it to, as well as have a big change on that.
This is dangerous
