Will Smith The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Fathers Episode

[honeegrrl]

One of Will Smith's best scenes, I still get teary eyed watching this.

[ruckaisawesome]

this makes me appreciate having a father...

[demogirl03]

This was the making of a A-list actor.

[SuperMalik34]

deeeep episode

[LeoMerveille]

(;_;) wow no respond from the audiences! That was a deep episode!!...

[therunningman09]

when most sitcoms tried to pull a scene like this, they always missed it. On Home improvement , a scene like this would have tim allen cracking some stupid joke, on family matters, they'd over did it, on seinfeld, well its seinfeld, and most other sitcoms almost or completely avoid this type of scene or when they try, they fail. This is what makes the fresh prince a great show, they do things almost perfect where as other shows fail.

[karey26]

The sad thing is there are tons of deadbeat dads like this. How anyone can walk out on their own kid is beyond me.

[johnboy7856]

@forthehellofitent He's not 14 in this video. His dad left when he was 5 and that was 14 years ago.

[Benniekarl77]

Goosebumps son, goosebumps

[quarf53206]

i would have punched him if i was will

[OhHeyItsSarahh]

cryingggg :(

[90sbo]

this almost made me cry ! awww

[69PoloW69]

damn.... cuts right trough u... What an actor he is. why did this ever stop?

[boogie2458]

How the hell are there 25 dislikes

[MclrnMn1]

@boogie2458 Because some people have no soul.

[johnboy7856]

@boogie2458 Now there's 26!!  That's insane! Dumb ass Eminem fans!

[GetSomeGetRight]

I wish these parents would realize how much hurt they cause their children and that it is never too late to try to do right by your child. There is not always going to be an Uncle Phil to do your job. But to those parents that step up even when its hard, Thank You!

[xbellaxbrutalityx]

wow. this legit made me cry. I love this show.

[Molez1083]

I love uncle Phil

[1KIELS]

god damn, this got my eyes waterin and shit..

[MrDJDazOne]

I can relate to this so so so much

[djyooter1]

One of the realest moments on television as a kid. I remember this scene like it was yesterday. Very moving. Despite similar circumstances like in this episode, I'm glad I made peace with my father before he went into the afterlife. RIP, Papi.

[shaneymane15]

This is when I knew Will Smith was a great actor.

[Barackobussa]

tears of joy

[CxBeeZy]

Will smith is a powerful actor

[PacLatino44]

I was 16 when i had my son and not for one second i ever thought of leaving him i was there every second of every day for him and still am

[DaRkLoRdZoRc]

Just curious.

[Meme14Skillz]

[MiukiChan719]

NOTCRYINGNOTCRYINGNOTCRYING.

[imabeninjahaha]

I cried to this. I wish my daddy was here ;(

[ricepandaful]

mang. this made me cry.

[agent254422]

[thefuryabstract]

Some of the greatest acting of all time right here.

[0885330924]

[johnmoring]

@0885330924

He still is.

[Sniper207]

"I said sit down lou!" Wills dad was like oh shit :O

[VickyChain93]

Damn, I cried my eyes out.

[aritzia210]

[leemcgavinjoey]

Oh shag it, it gets me in tears everytime

[lakersfan2409]

can somebody plz send me link of the whole episode... Thnx!

[SweetBrwnSuga]

@5:11 is funny to me when uncle phil bats will's hat out the way....

[KINGoTHEnerds]

Funny. Inspiring. Heartwarming. Clever. Deep.

All things that the Fresh Prince of Bel Air wasn't.

[NGMan62]

@KINGoTHEnerds It was all those things, n00b.

[Grissy2014]

I am in tears right now. Love it. I felt every bit of it.

[cherishshanae]

You don't see great acting like this anymore, you really don't.

[MrsMJLoveAlways]

Damn.... this episode had me heartbroken, when Fresh Prince is funny, it is hilarious, but when it is serious, man that stuff is SERIOUS. This episode relates to me in some ways, it just sucks me into the story... My all time favorite show <3

[TheRealShadowFox]

pure power right good job to the writers and cast. This type of play on emotion is can clearly move the audience for years to come. More scripts should follow this formula of forcing emotion on the viewer

[immortalkp]

this scene was so epic.....

[sipraomer]

FUck these kinds of parents. WHy they give birth to us if they treat like this? they should use condoms or somethings. They should kill us when we are fetus. They should use birth control. Why humans keep on breeding. These bastard parents.

[HipHopFollower]

i love how the audience stays quiet because their hands are too busy wiping tears from their face to clap

[TheEthanovic]

damn..i got chills all over my body man. this is one of the best scenes EVER!!! PERIOD!

a comedy with a true story, how can you dislike this? have a heart will ya? thanks:)

[babygirl33829]

from 4:42 to 5:28 just makes u wanna cry

[mimiskywalker]

I love how silent the audience is. He's one of the only actors that can make me cry.

[BPSX3LR]

@mimiskywalker serious shit...He also made me tear up in I Am Legend.

[FAWLTYWORZELMELDREW]

Any great sitcom worth it's salt always has the occassional serious moment. Shows like Fresh Prince always nailed it down to the ground. You always feel a bit odd knowing that there's a few minutes of drama after twenty minutes worth of comedy.

[NWOsurvivors]

like my fuckin dad

[EazyE864]

i just looked around thinking there was a leak in the ceiling. i just realized i was crying. smh

[Dai1lest]

honestly this show had everything, i can constantly watch this every day and always be amazed...this is was just wow, truly wow.

[rspkk0]

will should have knocked him the fuck out

[rspkk0]

@eselocote21 word

[JAFFERSH]

best emotional scene on the show. I grew up with a father around but we never spent any time together. the only memory that i have growing up was tossing the football one time with him. On my 2nd throw to him he wasn't paying attn and it hit him in the face. i felt so guilty that i never did anything with him again. The only other memory i have is getting spanked. But i know that he loved me and provided for me whenever i needed. I give props to all who succeeded without a father in their life.

[MrKris2345]

this is how i feel i had 17 B days with my dad i had 10 talent shows he didn't even com to you now what hurts wine your playing Foot ball and you here dads saying This My son

[emptyleonardo]

amazing performance

[shydmples]

I'm a father who loves his daughter to death...and she loves me to death...but I want to know why do the women give the men who are there for their children hell? But the bastards who aren't there for their kids, the women can't let them go? I can't understand that...my baby's mother is trying to give me hell until the child is 18....it's sickening...I guess it's the 'in' thing to do these days...my opinion.

[StuckinMusic]

That is why will smith is one of the best actors ever :)

[AXmodel07]

this scene always makes me cry, i wish i had an uncle phil. :-(

[ittboyx]

Most powerful scene in Fresh Prince ever.

[Tetzukai]

Society needs to cull deadbeat parents.

[komitiolemau88]

*4:28* POWERFUL!

[pursleyable]

I hate Fathers that leave theyre kids Im 15 Right now and IVE NEVER MET MY FATHER he left Like a PUSSY HE aint A MAN!!!!

[justpeterit]

im 14, my dads nowhere to be seen. when my moms water broke he wouldnt even take her to the hospital. the day after he left . On christmas, he called saying he was about to come visit but his carbroke down, yeah.. on my 14th birthday in April he sent me a card, saying hes sending me a gift. its october now and ive never recieved it. I Just high school, and i already have scholarships. fuck him. when i make it, he better not try to get back in my life,then.

[fairy5241989]

@justpeterit Wow, That's wonderful about the scholarships :D as for your "dad" if you can call him that, you are better off ;) It doesnt just take making a baby to become a parent you have to care and raise the child as well.

[MrXfree57]

@justpeterit , It will be his loss he will miss out on a wonderful human being.Your light will continue to shine so make the best of the life that you have been given in spite of the circumstances that brought you here. You exsist for a reason and you most explore all the possibilities.

[DarthSideous63]

This was the funniest episode of Fresh Prince. To hell with Will!!

[1990Thug1990]

@DarthSideous63

U a fucking faggot thats why ur saying that, bitchboy.

[LilRD96]

this made me cry uncle phil shulda beat the shit out of him

[linkinlady06]

punk ass dad will didnt deserve that ;( i cried a lot

[bfoaliali]

I dont get it, so why doesnt he love his dad?

[musiclvr774]

i cried

[uglyguy121909]

0:20

phillip is nursing the baby

[IMVUOL]

ima dude and this vid made my eyes watery.... :(

[RealTrue661]

anyone who grew up without a father would understand this scene, some people show no emotion to it some cant help it and this scene hits me hard when will says"how come he dont want me"

[Blake953]

@RealTrue661 absolutely true. i'm 42 now, parents divorced when i was 10, didn't see much of the old man, he died when i was 20. Very powerful scene for those who can relate to this sort of "abandonment". It really touches a nerve. Take care.

[BPSX3LR]

@Blake953 this can be a very powerful for people who can't relate to this sort of "abandonment" also.

[lilfemme8]

@BPSX3LR i can relate. Yea i was left by my mom and my dad

[BPSX3LR]

@lilfemme8 Okay so what i never said you couldn't?

I said that this can be a powerful scene for people who CAN'T RELATE TOO(not just the ones that can relate).....

[TsumeBeta038]

@RealTrue661 hits me hard too man

[misteeq64]

@RealTrue661 My half brother is 50 years old and it still affect him .

[FreshtoDeath90]

@RealTrue661 dude i totally feel what you're saying. I grew up without a dad too, he passed when I was 2. This scene is one of the most emotional ones I have ever seen. I NEVER cry but this scene gives me that lump in my throat and the movie John Q actually made me cry. This shit is crazy man, these ignorant assholes just dont get it.

[COCO07JUJU]

omg:( this video made me cryyyy :'(

poor will is soo freaking sadd!!

everytime i see it makes me cry

[COCO07JUJU]

omg:( this video made me cryyyy :'(

poor will is soo freaking sadd!!

[Trancemaster2052]

One of the most powerful moments of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. It feels so real.

[mrseximix]

touchn forealz. my eyez watering...

[brandi2cute4u001]

will, don't cry baby! i want u!!!

[smoketunes]

will is arrogant cocky and annoying u dont want him around you an entire road trip u made a good decision lou!! get that money

[brandi2cute4u001]

@smoketunes yeah, will can be cocky but no one deserves to be walked out on by their father. maybe if u had been raised by ur father better, u wouldn't be posting such ignorant comments on YOUTUBE of all places. go call ur father.

[trickson083]

@smoketunes nothing is wrong with him making that trip but he had his priorities in the wrong order.... considering he aint seen will in 14 years, he should have cancelled everything to spend time with his "son"... although will is cocky arrogent and annoying at times, he is still human and humans should always come before money.... T-T

[wasara85]

@KnotTheMan I think you are right about the fact that there was no dry eyes on the set. I can swear that just after uncle Phil takes the cap off Will's head, it sounds like a woman bursting in to tears in the background...

[togo2yt]

T-T

everytime i watch this

[78607860786]

who was the person sitting on the sofa coz i didnt get to watch the episode before??????????????

[Thushanth20]

im a grown man

and this show brought me to tears

fuck i miss this show :(

[nani2481]

the best episode.....

[videogamelover861]

Lou obviously cares more about making money than spending time with his son. Adding the fact that Lou didn't even have the balls to tell Will at first just shows you that Lou is a selfish, gutless jackass and that Uncle Phil is more of father to Will than Lou could ever be.

[IMXATLFANATIC]

i kno rite i cry alot too when Will says "How come he dont want me man" thats how i feel wit my real dad he hadn't done nothin 4 me these 23 yrs

[Jackass8743]

@IMXATLFANATIC my father just walked out on my mom before i was born so now i call him a matress hopping whore frog

[smill1985]

@sshakirs111 Papa's Got a Brand New Excuse

[KnotTheMan]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess:

1. This scene only took one take.

2. There were no dry eyes on the set.

[TnUt00bLvr]

Such a powerful episode Will Smith DBen Vareen were so believable. One of my favorites. In my honest opinion all deadbeats should place this one on repeat.

[FutureNewsAnchor]

Lou, if you walk out of Will's life now, don't you ever come back.

Audience: Ooh!

[TheClassicalJasmine]

reminds me of myself but atleast he got somebody who lives him

[trickson083]

this almost brought me to tears, i just dont need to cry over here,

[legoland626]

25 people like The Wayans Bros.

[toxiclown69]

This shit makes me nearly tear up every time. Such a great actor. A+ quality right there.

[DarthSideous63]

Will Smith deserved an Emmy for this episode.

[screamergenius]

BEST CLIP EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!! i love this show and this is definetly my favorite episode the Smith and Avery do a great job.

[OpurumD]

Powerful scene

[drunkenfooly]

god I love this scene so much there so much emotion and passion

[ShowKase]

the zoom in on the sculpture at the end was masterful ...

[HELPmeMOD]

This makes me cry so much every time i watch this. Great episode.

[SmokieRobinson10]

This some real shit that happens to a lot of people too...

[HefeP]

i cried

[Kad5]

This scene was powerful as shit.

[RdHerbert1]

i think people show his talent acting skills from all the sad moments of this show

[TrifanfoolOkay]

Don't worry Will, you became a great father :)

[DarthSideous63]

@TrifanfoolOkay Will Smith is our generation Bill Cosby. They are the two most powerful great influences for everybody no matter what race you are.

[OriginalLights]

"How come he don't want me man?"

I cry EVERY TIME I hear him say that line.

[SmokieRobinson10]

@OriginalLights Best line ever...

[rockguru14]

then carlton comes in and dances :D

[SirTyrone143]

bravo

[Smooth340]

Good acting all the way around.

[Jackass8743]

my dad is a dildo

[stusvend]

damn...

[xxxxtruedestinyxxxx]

i cried when i saw this episode becuse lou didnt want anything to do with him for years then all of a sudden he turns up when its too late when i saw will crying i was very emtional too he neglected his own son as my bfs dad left his mum when he was a baby too she had to raise him all by herself so he knows what its like

[johhnyutah]

He should have given Uncle Phil his present.

[MrThumbsup]

I like to believe that Geoffrey waited for Lou outside and then proceeded to beat the everloving shit out of him.

[bbmafiuex]

@MrThumbsup and jazz

[terracottaguy]

@MrThumbsup As would I

[runway34r]

@MrThumbsup preferably with a hammer...

[londongirle3]

Had to stop myself from crying at this scene, was so touching and sad.

I loved how it became more of a drama and less of a comedy, everyone can learn from this!

[bbadmike]

not sad, angry

[piratepotterpep]

My dad lied to my mom, left us, & got remarried to some other lady right after he said he would never do that to me. The scary thing is that I gave the same speech Will gave to Phil about being 5 & asking questions about my dad....tough times.

[Jacobrester]

Will is dynamite .....but may I applaude Uncle Phil also.......wow!!!

[tdevil101]

what is that present that Will bought for his dad?

[mechanoid2k]

@tdevil101 its a small statue of a father holding his son

only adding to the power of the scene

[TokenPictures111]

i remeber that one Will Smith is a good actor

[HisRoyalFreshness22]

People was crying in the audience, you could hear a female sniff after Phil knocked his hat off

[mexi84]

i can relate to this scene in so many ways. last time i saw my father was when i was 5. so many conflicting emotions. this scene gets to me everytime

[gullwing14]

"How come he don't want me man?"

[legoland626]

It's hard for me to call this acting.

It was that brilliant.

[BeyondThatStar]

Thats why Will is my fav actor of all time , every role he plays he makes it so real , and i know every person that cried doesnt have a dad and relates to this , i just want the next generation of fathers to step up and be a man , the people who thumbs down were people who either have dads or are just confused in who they are , thumbs up if you agree!! - Chris Star

[XxAimee95xX]

@BeyondThatStar thats not quite true.. i cried when i watched this but my father is very much in my family.. its just how will portrayed the role.. he makes it very real and convincing and thats why hes one of the greatest actors of all time

[BeyondThatStar]

@XxAimee95xX yeah thats what i said , either dont have a dad , or relates to this and knows how he feels , he plays that role so good , thats what acting is !!

[Thagr8testlady]

tear!!!!!!!!!!!!

[quadrell99]

i cried to. it was sad.

[TheLeaderWassup]

i cried..omgosh..

[callum123933]

makes me cry every time.

[Shehasnomorals]

There is nothing "deep" or "powerful" about this "television program." That's not Will Smith's actual father; this is a work of fiction. Meant to evoke certain responses in the dumbed down masses it was meant to program.

Will Smith is "acting." Stop equating TV scripts with reality. Those who control the media have been using techniques such as this to "dumb down" the masses for years.

Looks like their plan is working well.

[acidlysaxes]

@Shehasnomorals nothing you said was eyeopening , new or even at all worrying. It's the art of storytelling, one that has evolved throughout the history of humankind. If entertainment wasn't designed to help 'the masses' escape, what a shit existance this would be. I bet your life is great with your synical and singular view tho.

[Shehasnomorals]

@acidlysaxes

"Entertainment" was, and is, designed to program the masses. The effects of this programming can be seen here; merely by viewing the numerous emotional responses this work of "fiction" has evoked. In ancient times the viewing of "plays" were at times made compulsory; in order to "trigger" certain responses/behavior in the viewers. The old saying is: Monkey SEE, Monkey DO.

Conclusion: You may now finish crying over Will Smith's fictitious life on FRESH PRINCE OF BEL AIR.

[Shehasnomorals]

@mooseclamps

First you said: "Nobody is crying over his life"

A sentence later you said: "people cry because art is based of the human condition, people see themselves in it and it connects on an emotional lvel with them."

The above equates to "crying over a fictitious life." Anyone who "sees himself/herself" in a fictitious character has been MASTERED (See Programmed) by said character. A "work of fiction" has gained control of the emotions/actions of a living, breathing being.

[Facebook289]

@Shehasnomorals you realize how much of a dick your being right?

[mooseclamps]

@Shehasnomorals @Shehasnomorals Nobody is crying over his life, people cry because art is based of the human condition, people see themselves in it and it connects on an emotional level with them. You dumb dumb. Maybe you should go read a book and stop being a ignorant piece of shit

[Shehasnomorals]

@mooseclamps

A double post saying nearly the same thing? One post would have sufficed.

[joshemane]

@Shehasnomorals Andddddddddddd douche of the year award goes tooooooooooooooo

[xCholliex]

That scene always makes me upset. ;\ his acting so brilliant in it. love this show.
