This scene shook me to my core as a kid (Fresh Prince, Carlton called a sellout)

[DA_LURKA]

Dude lucky he didn't run into Carlton when he was running the trap.

 

[Doobie Doo]

Frfr Carlton was one of the realist ones on Fresh Prince. Remember that episode he had the hammer bout to pull up on the nikka that popped will

He was definitely bout that life

Every FP thread I always say Carlton was the realest dude on that whole show. Will was fronting for bytches every episode, Carlton was the only dude who stayed true and had the strap ready to lay nikkas down on his cousin's behalf on sum Menace shyt.

What worked was that Carlton was made to be a multi-dimensional person.

On one hand he was preppy snob smart kid, but he could also dance, was legit swole and surprisingly had a decent amount of success with women before he'd fukk it up. He wasn't as helpless as like Urkel or someone.

Yep. Same with Will too. It was always highly suggested that his street shyt was a facade and he was a huge nerd himself. It was lowkey clever writing on both their characters.

I Remember when Will went bowling with his girl...and big dude had no shame in trying to steal his girl right in front of him

Will got knocked the fukk out

nikka had no respect in the streeets

This show was better than most all shows on at the time and told a lot of things plainly.

"I got in one little fight and my mom got scared" Mom stayed in the PJs and sent WIll out of there knowing he wasnt a wolf. Nothing wrong with that, but Will gotta face reality, you aint that guy my man. Even your moms knew it after "one little fight"

 

[Black Hans]

Glenn Plummer's character sounds like a TLR breh. He'd fit right in here

Faux militant stance and all

So Phil disconnected his children from their own people ...then gets mad that those same people he kept them from can't relate to that child and rejects it.

Reminds me of ppl hating on gambino for making conscience music because they dont think he acts black enough

 

[big bun]

But wasn't Will clowning Carlton the entire series for the exact same reason?

 

[big bun]

I wonder how these shows where black men such as Carlton were constantly made fun of for being into academics and the like, shaped the way blacks view other such black men...

It was always just jokes, man...it was never that serious.

One of my all time favorite shows

Especially when uncle Phil asked the family "When are we going to stop doing this to eachother?" And the show ended with silence

which was pretty phony coming from uncle phill. 1= he dislikse jazz and throw him out the house like he's trash. 2 don cheadle played his homeboy from philly who was crushing on hillary and the uncle and aunt viv wasn't feeling it. basically, the producers were trying to insert the old jealously from Negros who had a problem with buppie blacks controlling everything

That second dance he was hitting after Will tried to tell him he didn't get in though.

They had what like 4 or 5 serious episodes?
I thought the gun one was funny
The one where Carlton popped all that Molly was funny too
The pops leaving episode was good acting
