Building Bridges Part 2 (2of3)

[Myrthan]

What's with the awkward breathing in the beginning of Victor's poem.

[funkybunny9966]

@Myrthan He was nervous.

[danielamarquina]

I love Jasmine..about the butter...that was awesome...lol...good one Jasmine...we have to give one to her...

[danielamarquina]

I love when Victor is talking in spanish...is awesome...lol...he is like puerto rican o cuban...so cute..lol

[NovaKane78]

I laffed @ how Rob fixed his hair b4 he knocked on the door

[moonmagegrl]

Poor Jamal. Alex tried to warn him. Alex should've nudged him though. And it kinda looked like Alex was having trouble keeping a straight face too.

[looker768]

that second family Victor's talking about is aka Hatocracy!

[yoshiemai]

Was Victor's brother Quincy really supposed to be Latino?

[NovaKane78]

@yoshiemai I feel u.... he does look hindu

[Myrthan]

@yoshiemai ... uh yeah. There are dark-skinned latinos.

[kiduprock04]

jamal should've got with lenni, real talk. jasmine isn't even all that fly, anyway.

[DizzyedUpGirl]

"He says you're *chicken sounds* chicken"

Says the guy who practically stalked Tina with hang up phone calls.

[beeyouteephull]

Aww, I wanna give Victor a hug.

[Mackaeddie]

Rob: Wow, Victor! That soundz really good!

Get off his sac, Rob.

[Mackaeddie]

Why were people alwayz tryin to rap in these episodez. They're alwayz so wack.

[OriginalVis1]

victor looks exactly like a young immortal technique

[slynice]

awww Rob at the PJs, i'm gonna miss NYC..

[SailorSaturn69]

Anyone notice Sesame Street playing in the background at 1:40

[Miracle490d]

@SailorSaturn69 I didn't catch that till you mentioned, but did you notice that at 2:20 the volume goes up when they start yelling! Who turned it up? The little kids are too small to think like that. And nobody else was close to the TV. Did you ever have sesame street shout to rise over the noise your family made? LOL

[neddx]

9:03

This is one of the best reasons God gave us hands

[Osric44]

@neddx Ouch, Jamal got faced. . . L O L

[panamea121]

Rob was so cute

[LotzaLuv101]

did victor say asshole? omg did he i know what i heard

[matthatter56]

Wow I am shocked not one comment on here about Victor saying the word Hell. When I first watched I went back a few times to make sure I heard right and I did. In the words of Nostalgia Critic 5:08 "You know for kids." Seriously though after Victor says Hell Rob even pauses for a minute and looks over Victor's shoulder like he is waiting for the director to yell cut. I am still shocked there is no comment on this.

[goldilex]

The lead up to the part I believe you're referring to has Victor saying "Man he sure can eat up the track" (referring to Carl Lewis)

I think his next line says "I want to run like him" not "I want to run like hell"

[matthatter56]

It could be either. Dang it see if this was on DVD the subtitles would tell us for sure. I was not insulting this show by any means I was just making a joke. Also I was commenting that I was shocked no one else that it sounded like hell.

[PRdude]

You already know it'll be on DVD, and hopefull there will be subtitles on it.

[spiritedsunny]

*shrugs* kids hear worse in the playgrounds. I think it is sad there are not more shows out there like this addressing all these sensitive topics.

[matthatter56]

I totally agree. It is a shame there aren't more shows like this. Kids used to be respected enough to see stuff like this (back in 80's and 90's.) The kids of today have nothing like this which is really a shame. All my comment was saying is I was shocked that no one else heard it.

[NoChildofMine]

@matthatter56 it did sound like he said hell, but he said "i want to run like him"

[bubblebear83]

Anyone who speaks Spanish, Can someone translate from 2:25-2:30 when Victor was yelling at his little brother and sister. Quincy said, "Stop yelling at your brother and sister". Victor continues yelling in Spanish.

[capeto08]

he tell them to turn down de volumbe... and thas he's traying (he get's interrupte)

[bubblebear83]

I don't see the hallway anywhere in the apartment. All I can see is one room.

[bubblebear83]

I wonder where is the bedroom door or the hallway?

[MsDolly0714]

OMG! Is Victor wearing a Cross Colors Hat!

[nahor88]

Screw Jasmine Jamal, go for Lenni!

[futuremdnca]

alex is horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

yeah, true story, she wasn't THAT cute... you'll be aight jamal LOL

[PRdude]

That crying is damn horrendous. I wonder how I was able to stand it back when I was 13, when this episode first came on.

[samhoward65]

Is it cold out there, Victor? lol

[kassdiamond]

OMG I love that sesame streets theme is playing in the background at 1:45 way to promote your own shows PBS lol But seriously, i love this episode! Its a great way to tell ppl to stop stereotyping!

[YungArsine]

It sound like he makin the Razor Ramon beat when he start tappin his Leg

[Jettatore2]

I remember when I watched this as a kid I kept hoping Ghostwriter would write to Victor so he would join the team.

[therealmccullough]

Victor was so street and Rob was so sheltered. Its cool they were still friends though. Friendship has no boundaries.

[xxmaggieee]

Yeah, this show taught everyone acceptance of all people.

[Jessili612]

Despite that difference they were really alike-just looking for a place to belong.

[bluheavn7]

I know this park! It's Prospect Park in Brooklyn.

It's a real beautiful place.

[Sairisn]

Damn, Jamal . . . buuuurrrrnnn!

[whash03]

was that Alex laughing in the background at the end? lmao

[smilinginside5]

i think it's funny how victor's brother is like, staring off into space. looks like a poet looking for inspiration or something, and the chair just adds to that perfectly. haha.

"the streets are totally whack sometimes" haha too funny

[bluemidnight02]

Rob and Victor's friendship was so great. I really miss Rob!!!!

[barrelracer1983]

Why was Victor's door all marked up like that?

[sailorearth2007]

Just the way his neighborhood is I think.

[AJxn3]

Don't worry Jamal... she wasn't ALL THAT anyway.

You can do better.

[toadian21]

@AJxn3 Yeah. You remember the episode with the African exchange girl was on ghostwriter. She was waaaaaaay better than Jasmine.

[waterlilyqueen]

@toadian21 I agree. Safira was cooler than Jasmine-and prettier too. Maybe it's just me but I thought Jamal had some chemistry with Becky the English girl.

[ExodusPessoa]

Watch out Jay-Z somebody is ready to take your crown (lol).

[ExodusPessoa]

You want to run like Carl Lewis? Alright, but do it clean stay away from the steroids my friend (lol). It still is cheating even when you're not caught.

[LuckyLuciano123]

awesome song by victor

[Rakerong]

Was that Spanish harlem? I think I know where that place was that Victor hung out in, it's a huge park, though I don't quite remember there being small waterfalls there

[hiphopskater]

Talk about livin in the projects, thats why victor is mad!

[Sylocat]

This show addressed some amazingly mature and sensitive topics.

[waterlilyqueen]

I really like Rob's friendship with Victor. In a way, I think he was Rob's real kindred spirit, as opposed to a Ghostwriter team member. It's too bad we didn't see them together after this episode.

[Kabman89]

that was terrible how alex laughed like that!

[xBlackRomancex]

l love this episode about Victor

He's so Cute 4 me!

[JustinSTUPIDITY]

yo iamghostwriter2, can u remove that last comment for my WWETitantronz account along with this comment when you're done removing that comment cause i wanted to say something else too?

[WWETitantronz]

when Victor was yelling something in spanish to his brother and sister at 2:25 it sounded like he said asshole right at 2:25

[davinp]

what is that covering Victor's softa?

[amandag417]

Thats plastic on the sofa. Some people put that on their furniture to keep it clean. I don't quite get it, it doesn't seem worth it to do that.

[jpien]

poor ppl don't get to have nice things

[babolo]

@davinp It's called plastic cover... Normally seen in houses with cheap people who can't let their furniture get ruined so they don't have to buy new ones.

[slynice]

@babolo that doesnt mean we're cheap..., we dont want our furniture ruined

[Topacio325]

poor jammal!!!

[Fanboy1991]

Victor will probaly become a rapper after all the shit he has bee through

[vimcrony]

victor's acting is pretty great* especially around 5:35...

[vimcrony]

what a total stereotype.

[BrooklynnH2009]

Yo Jasmine straight played Jamal! Not only did his feelings get hurt, but now he doesn't have a date.

[CreAce]

2:28 Quincy giving the hand signal for the fake baby to cry. check it out. lol

[Andora21]

I find it funny that sesame street was playing on the t.v

[schoolgyrl6]

i know the art of promotion right lol!

[Kabman89]

this was made by the same company as sesame street, CTW (Children's Television Workshop).

[barrelracer1983]

Listen carefully. His sister was watching Sesame Street.

[choirhampster]

Yeah, I noticed that too! And the sofa was covered in plastic.

[FireMinstrel]

Yeah, around the time they started using the new song. The original one was better.

[jazzybee1]

yes and no..think about it: both shows ghostwriter and sesame street are productions of Children's Television Workshop..i found it to be sorta nice..

[MTMFan]

Wow, talk about being shot down. hehe. Poor Jamal.

[CreAce]

Funny how Alex laughs at Jammal when his walking away, HAHAHA!

[davinp]

Victor tends to get mad easily over little things. That's a nice place where Victor hangs out.

Unfortunately, gang violence is still a problem today.

[skchen831]

This is/was one of the only shows that really tried to deal with serious issues like gangs, drugs, or bullying. It's a shame that these shows aren't really around anymore.

[small5th]

i dont' blame victor for getting mad like this...i'd be frustrated in an apartment like that too with so many people living there

[ierinn]

Aww man, Jamal got SHOT DOWN!

[imxtraspecial49]

Quincey is cute
