Thing is, Carlton didn't give a shit whether Janet liked him or not: he didn't stand up to her as a power play or pimp move or "putting her in her place." If Janet got offended, he would have been like, "whatever," and take her home and enjoy the rest of his evening without her. Which is why Will and Jazz couldn't pull it off, because they were trying to use assertiveness as a pickup strategy, whereas Carlton didn't give a crap and just wanted to enjoy his goddamn dinner.
you mean aggressive, assertive is what Cartlton was being. the 2 are very different. I understand that it can be confusing because people who are being aggressive are typically said to be "asserting dominance" but that is not the same as being assertive
This...this is why Carlton is one of my favourite characters in the show. Not only is he funny, he's a mature,polite and assertive when he needs to be.
Too bad he couldn’t save Will from marrying Jada Pinkett in real life. It saddens me that Will Smith would rather be with a gaslighting, abusive, obnoxious, no talent having, unfaithful man-hater than be with someone who’d actually love him and be devoted to him. I hope Alfonso Ribiero can reach out to him or something.
Season 1 Carlton- 1.) Survived the ghetto 2.) Stood up to Janet 3.) Scored the Halloween date (although she was revealed to be a shoplifter..) 4.) Returned to steal Will's double date in Season 6. 5.) Returned to show up everyone on the Soul Train line. None of this pathetic "Can't get into Princeton" crap or being yelled at in the gym.
@@IfYouLetMeStay i think what he means that in season 1 and 2 that Carlton was more assertive and had a backbone.and after season 4 he was more of a childish cartoon character.
mydreamboy women in these days confuse asshole for real men a real man stands his own and runs shit but women think rude ass controlling men is the same thing
Low key Carlton was the most manly dude on the whole series, Despite his goofiness at times there tons of examples of how stand up he actually was. He 100 percent turned out successful after growing up and leaving the house
Carlton actually managed to change Janet. She was rude to everyone especially Will, but when Carlton stood up to her she fell in love with him and lost her bossy attitude. It's a surprise to everyone😏
It’s always the quiet, passive ones you gotta watch out for. Usually they don’t do anything and you don’t even mind them or acknowledge them. But when they’ve had their last straw, LOOK OUT! That’s Carlton.
@@rainandpetalsss6244 What the crap are you even on about? I was replying to someone, and I clearly meant to type out "women", so not sure why you presume to correct me on something not needing to be corrected. You absolute and utter moron. Maybe read both of the 2 replies to the OP before making yourself look stupid next time.
that was amazing!! I'm the same way, I can't stand people who are rude and have no manners, especially when they go to a restaurant. I love that he spoke to her like a child because that's exactly what she was acting like. Gosh I've met children that have better manners than adults
I loved the bit just after that where Carlton gets her to hand deliver all his mail rather than mailing them and walks by Will and says, "I should write a book!" Carlton, like a boss!!!
What I like about this episode is that it shows what type of men that women really gravitate to in real life all them other shows/movies be trying to conditioned us to think that being a simp will get us women.
I remember watching this first time (in 1991 in the UK), and the twist at 3:06 was completely unexpected. A brilliant episode of a brilliant programme.
To the 13 downvoters of this clip - where I come from, upvotes count for a lot. Your clicks were unacceptable. I'm sorry I have to say this but I simple can't sit back behind my keyboard and allow this negativity to continue. Do I make myself clear?
Sad how this is what Will Smith really became in his marriage. Seriously he's in an "open relationship" where she can hook up with anyone and as many people as she wants but he can't.
Perfect depiction of Carlton acting like the alpha male and Will acting like the beta male. The woman likes the alpha who respectfully put her in her place after a barrage of shit tests. Can't ever just be a straightforward normal interaction.
good on Carlton I'm a no nonse person I do not tolerate rudeness.I can't stand rude people.I have had ppl including former work collouge be rude and told him off good and proper.He started on me and was insulting me so i finished it
Good for Carlton I can't Stand Janet. Will is kind enough to take her on a date and she starts bossing him around and telling him what to do. If I was Will wouldn't take that I'd just get up and leave there's no way I would deal with that attitude all night.
Yeah....when you see a man or anyone bow their head like that because of their spouse you better tell them to leave cause that’s the start of an abusive relationship
Living with Will for a few years taught him how to stand up for himself more. By the time he stood up to the head of the fraternity for not letting him in because he was a "Bel Air-bred sellout", Carlton actually told Will, who was about to get in the guy's face, "It's OK, Will. I got this one." Why Carlton did not use his backbone more often may be a case of him picking his battles on when to use it.
some people dont understand but the true key to this episode was dont be afraid to put your girl in check . If a female knows you can stand on your own two feet , have options or cut them lose and wouldnt miss a beat doing it they will respect you more or think twice before they come off the handle.
What an amazing scene,Hilary picked up Wills head down, defeated look. Thought he was praying lol. Even Hilary knew something was off. "Get the midol",after Jazz's sister threatend to have him permanently in that pose after Will saying" ive been praying lately" Hilary threw a cpl jabs for Will in a more subtle,covert way. Cleary she wasn't impressed with Jazz or his sister when she walked off with her friend to "talk to better ppl in the restaurant" Carlton put the icing on rhe cake in the ending of scene
"Janet your behavior this evening has been completely unacceptable. Where I come from good manners count for a lot. I'm sorry to have to say this but I simply can't sit back and allow this rudeness to continue. You owe every one of us an apology, especially that poor waitress. And if you refuse, we're taking you home and continuing the evening without you. Do I make myself clear?"
It's a sad truth in life that indeed the best way to stop someone taking liberties with you is to show them that it won't be so easy. They'll move on to a weaker target. I was a geek at school but, unlike the other geeks, if jocks said unpleasant things to me I'd give it right back to them.
Man honestly if you can't beat them physically come back with better jokes usually they feel dumb af after no guarantees they won't still try n fight you but at least you showed them who more slick
You don't get it. Yes there are societal issues. I support the MRA movement. But you are deliberately seeing the worst in every situation, laying down your arms before there might even be a battle. As well as using stupid terms like "mangina". Explain to me how you're part of the solution and not the problem here.
I guess that's why you're focused only on the absolute worst case scenario, because you don't want to take the risk that anything better might come. However you're also encouraging men to give up on their natural roles and just admit defeat to a corrupt society. Some of us don't want to detach ourselves from women entirely and want to know how to relate to them the right way. At least MRAs are trying to change society. You're just saying "society's unfavourable to men, I give up on it".
Take your comment above as an example. Everyone's praising this video as an example of a man acting like a man, and your thought process is immediately "if I tell a woman that her behaviour is unacceptable she might call the police". Really?
Carlton was displeased with Jazz's sister enough to cuss her out, but I love the route he took here. He calmly told her about herself and let her know what time it was. She knew Carlton meant business.
Carlton setting her straight was the perfect combination of Aunt Viv and Uncle Phil!

Can beat people intellectually and physically (he did beat Will once)
I think after living with Will for a while, Carlton learned to become more assertive & stand up for himself. He grew considerably over the show's run.
Especially against that notep pledge leader

This is a perfect example of how you don't have to curse, yell, or be rude to stand up to someone & put them in their place.

1.) Survived the ghetto
2.) Stood up to Janet
3.) Scored the Halloween date (although she was revealed to be a shoplifter..)
4.) Returned to steal Will's double date in Season 6.
5.) Returned to show up everyone on the Soul Train line.

he was comfortable in his own skin .
He also had an active father where as will only had a mother you can see how even when older Uncle Phil’s influence made a difference on him.
Well, he got Philip Banks as his father.
He was great in the first season, they ruined his character afterwards.
Carlton, spoke to her like he was her father...😂😂😂🤣🤣😅😭
She wanted a daddy
he got that act from his dad and uncle phil
The "rudeness to continue" part was soooo Uncle Phil holy shit
He awoke her inner daddy issues
Electra Complexes, Oedipus Complexes (which is all sex really is anyway) is what repulses me about humanity.
I loved how Calrton wasn't afraid to stand up to someone who was rude. He started off empathetic, asking her if she was okay.
He wasnt being empathetic. He was calling a light to her rude behavior.
Janet has no respect. Carlton, you the man who stood up.
She has no respect for will
@@lildroptop4178 what's crazy is, Will is in a similar situation with Jada.

How men will change when they’re in love with a woman, it’s the same thing for women when they fall in love with a man
God, there's no middle ground with Carlton. He's either an absolute pansy or an assertive badass. Extremely Naive or veteran hardened.
Kalloos McAnhur Exactly lol one minute he gets the girl, then the next time he's a loser with the ladies
He's no pansy at all. Passiveness is not gay at all. Now for a guy to be feminine is gay.
Rob Jackson to be feminine doesn’t make you gay wtff
Best of both worlds
It’s always the quiet, passive ones you gotta watch out for. Usually they don’t do anything and you don’t even mind them or acknowledge them. But when they’ve had their last straw, LOOK OUT! That’s Carlton.

Damn Carlton put home girl in her place
The edge in his voice when he asks if he makes himself clear. Putting her in her place without looking down on her. That is talent.
Carlton is an example of the “Beware The Nice Ones” trope.
One of Carlton's better moments.

When he said " Do I make myself clear?" He sounded like he was talking a little girl
Well, of she’s gonna act like one, he’s gonna treat her like one.
