I cry every single time. My dad left my mum after I was born and at 18 months my mum met my dad and he’s who I consider my father it’s always like he said why didn’t he want me 😢
@@emmawilliams8672 as a father myself now of a beautiful boy I can say I met my Doner and honestly sometimes it really is for the best not to find out. I found out mine is a bum for years did drugs refused to work living off the grid and never paid child support. He met me and that was the last time.
In this scene, even though it is not said, you know Phil is more Willis father. The closing close up to the statue of the father hugging the son says it all.
I had an uncle like that, he was there for me and cared for me, but now he's gone, but I believe in God and I know he's in a better place and protecting me and our family.
@@PotatoMaGobinus If I remember correctly, in an interview, Will Smith talks about how James Avery (Uncle Phil) was hard on him every time they rehearsed this scene, telling him his acting wasn't quite there yet. When Will cried here, those tears were shed not only because of this heartbreaking scene, but for how much he wanted to impress Avery. That's why Avery whispered to him "Now THAT'S acting" when they hugged.
I showed my pregnant gf this and she cried. I know we are going to be loving caring parents. She's due in March and I'm gonna be there for my little one. 💯
You know you're going to cry when Will acts a serious or emotional scene. He is truely the best actor in Hollywood for emotional acting. From Fresh Prince of Belair, to Pursuit of Happyness, to I Am Legend, his talent only grew. Truely one of the best actors of this generation, and to me wholly underrated
My dad is one of my best friends. I cannot imagine not having him in my life... Uncle Phil was a much BETTER father to Will than his biological dad ever was. He knew that Will's dad wasn't going to keep that promise on the trip they were going to take. And when Uncle Phil told Will, "You're my son," It warmed my heart, but this scene breaks my heart everytime I watch it.
Even people behind the cameras were in tears. Everyone on that set was moved speechless by Will’s performance. Deadbeat parenting is truly a disease in this country.
Uncle Phil is the GOAT TV Dad. If this scene doesn't punch you in the heart, you don't have one. No need to apologize for having feelings. This was as real as that show got. Thank you for this reaction.
You can hear Karyn Parsons ("Hillary") in the background, crying, at the 6:42 mark. Very sad and raw scene. It hit home for Shawn and for a lot of people. I always say, "just because you can, doesn't mean you should", in regards to having children. If you can't raise them properly, then don't have them.
When he said “any man can have a baby, but only a true man can be a father” 😭omg that is to true. My dad treats me like a co worker, not his child, it’s getting better but honestly our relationship has always been not great now that I think about it
I remember watching that episode in the 90s. Was gut wrenching. All alot of people want is the love of their father or mother. Very sad. Emotion is never a sign of weakness,the opposite it is the sign of strength. People need to learn that
I went into foster care at the age of 13 due to physical abuse from my father, so I cry at this scene no matter how many times I see it. I honestly dont trust people that feel nothing over this scene.
@@joshuaroberts2763 I'm doing much better, it's been 30 years. It took 15 years and alot of therapy to forgive him. It helped that he underwent therapy as well.
What I love about this scene is that during the whole time Will is going though his feelings, uncle Phil never moves from his spot. He is Will's rock. Uncle Phil had become his father in a way
My dad left when I was 2.. my mom married my step dad couple years later and I can tell you .. he has been an amazing father. Truly a blessing he was to me as a father. Im 36 now. I have seen my dad a few times throughout the years. But these days.. we don't even talk or test message or an email.. but I do have sisters I keep in touch with some times and at least I know he was a good father for them. But this scene has always been real life for me.
This spoke to a lot of us growing up and as corny as it may sound Uncle Phil _was_ the father figure for a good chunk of us. This episode will never leave me.
4th Like👍I think every man that seen this episode and that had a father figure that came in-and-out of they life got emotional when they seen this part and I can't believe Mel never seen this episode thanks for sharing and Rest In Paradise Uncle Phil🙏 yall stay safe & healthy
Ben Vereen did a great job in this short piece. But the entire episode grabbed you and didn't let you go until that closeup at the end. Very powerful. Will Smith graduated to rock star with this performance.
Everytime I watch this reminds me of what I went through. Over ten years of nothing and finally came to peace with my dad. It was time to end the grudge
I have an amazing father that has always been there, and this scene still hits me like a punch to the gut. I can’t imagine how it feels like when it hits close to home.
I LOVE that and Will has gone on record saying....when Phil flipped his hat off and they embraced....James whispered in Will's ear....Now that's acting!!!
The pain of this for my fellow people who grew up with a dad in and out of our lives knowing our dads didn't want us. My dad always wanted my Mom and I was an inconvenience this hits me hard everytime 💔 this was the moment Will went from Goofball to an amazing actor.
I raised my son from the age of 4, he's about to be 24. Last year he met his biological father. My son's girlfriend and my wife were very upset for me. Afterwards his girlfriend asked him "how could you hang out with him after Mike raised you as his own?". He told her "I just had to know, but my dad ( me) will always be my real dad". That was one of the biggest blessings of my life to hear. I was never really upset about it myself, because I lost my father when I was 2. I would give anything to meet him, so I understand. But people are flawed and I haven't walked in that man's shoes. That's the kind of thinking I want my kids to have. Great reaction BTW. I love everything you guys do
Yeah, this one hurts. My dad cheated on my momma when she was pregnant with me, and started a new family. I lucked out and got a great grandpa, but it still hurts to be unwanted by someone whose blood runs in your veins
That's was so said that part when he don't need his dad how he never was their, made tears start flowing from my eyes.☹️ Their is so many people facing that now a days. Thanks so much for sharing this video with us ❤️
The line that broke me was, “how come he don’t want me, man?” I’m adopted and even to this day at 22 I still wonder why I was sent to an orphanage and not my other brothers and sisters. I wondered was there something I could’ve done?
I can’t think of another scene in TV history that’s as powerful as this performance. I remember seeing it when it first aired live and even now it hits me just as hard.
There is another raw scene in Fresh Prince that's a good one. Not quite at the level of this one, but it's still good. It was the episode where Will took a bullet for Carlton. Will finding out that Carlton was carrying a gun for "protection".
Will didn't know Lou growing up, as he left his wife and Will when he was very young. Will had no interaction with him until he turned up that day at the college to see him. I still have no idea why Lou decided to come back and act like he was going to be a dad, when it seemed he only returned to see him temporarily. I imagine that he did this intending to try to get back into Will's life, saw that the responsibility would be too much, and ran off again. Sad how many people experience this exact scenario in real life. Will and James Avery really knocked it out of the park in this episode, and this is when Will began to gain real popularity and was taken seriously as an actor. You can even hear Ashley and Hillary crying in the background near the end. People can say what they want about Will now, his life is his private business, but he really is a fantastic actor.
I really feel his pain. I do. My father, who was never in my life except a few times before, waited until after my mom passed away to tell me that he never wanted me, that I was a mistake he wished he never had. Words can't even describe how I felt from that day on. It took me many years to finally forgive him and move on with my life.
Till to this day this is the saddest moment on a TV I've ever seen I was always grateful for both my parents being in my life growing up cause so many of my other friends never had that in there life and desperately wanted mom n dad there and trying not too shed a tear over this is damn near impossible
This is y I love shows like the fresh prince and full house. They perfectly portray issues relevant to everyday life. Uncle Phil is a model father even if he’s just a character in a show. Every word he said to Lou was right.
This episode... this scene, right here, is when I knew that Will Smith was gonna be a great actor. When you can evoke the emotions that he did... now, that is something special. R*I*P* Uncle Phil
Philosopher Allan Bloom said that to a child being abandoned by a parent is even worse than the death of a parent, precisely because the abandonment was a choice. Not to say that experiencing a parent's death is not traumatic, but abandonment leaves special scars. This is why the children of divorce often have such a hard time making relationships work.
I’d say the whole basis of Will’s joking and clowning nature was to cover up the fact that he was really hurting over this. In the pilot Phil chastised Will for not taking life seriously. But fun fact both Ben Vereen and James Avery appeared in and episode of Webster. Vereen as Webster’s uncle who wanted custody of him, and Avery as the judge who would decide the case.
I hate seeing things like this, the pain that's been caused, I was abused as a child, beaten and punched day in day out, some days my mum gave me a kick that hard I got knocked out, but I grew up, I got out of that life eventually, I thought life was gonna get better, till the day I lost my child, that day was more painful, heartbreaking than any kick or punched I received as a child, I would of gave my life to allow him his, I can't understand how people can do this. I would of made a better father, than my mother ever was a mother. 😔😔
Great reaction, this hits me special because I always had my father around but this was me with my mother. She left when I was 18 months old and my 3 sisters were not older than 13…she came back when I was 19, sisters told me not to get close but hey! She was back…few weeks later and she left again for yet another man…yeah, I had a similar reaction
The look James Avery gives Ben Verine at 4:02 said a lot. The "you too. Lou" was the end of any relationship they were ever gonna have. After this scene, Ben Verine said in an interview that he broke down when he walked out of the scene because he has kids and can never imagine a father doing that to his kids.
Every time I see this clip it brings me to a place I don’t like being 😢 I grew up without a father and have said those exact words “why doesn’t he want me” many times in my life. I finally quit trying when after I called him to tell him he was a grandfather he told me “I don’t know anyone named ******” I told him it’s your son and he said “oh mi hijo so good to hear from you” and went on with his excuses for not calling etc I’ve never looked back I’m an excellent father and will never let my daughter feel that pain.
This was my daughter with her father and I praise God for the man I have now who loves my daughter so unconditionally and raised her as his own . This scene makes me cry so much cause I know several people like this. My fiancés mom was just like wills father….its horrible
My dad never left us and so I don't have any first hand in this situation but this scene rips me apart because at some point in everybody's life they ask why don't ..... Want me is a question they ask!! 😢😢 Will talked about this scene in a reunion, and how he was struggling to find thos emotions and he said Uncle Phil grabbed him and hugged him after that scene and said "NOW that was acting,"
The only thing i learned from my father was the way not to be a father. My kids have their father, i always tell them, “Always remember Daddy loves you, and you will always have your father”
Every time I watch that it's like watching it for the first time. Never gets easier.
I cry every single time. My dad left my mum after I was born and at 18 months my mum met my dad and he’s who I consider my father it’s always like he said why didn’t he want me 😢
Fr man it’s really sad
I been there myself and I also met the man and did the exact same things. Hurts but like the episode it really is for the best
@@emmawilliams8672 as a father myself now of a beautiful boy I can say I met my Doner and honestly sometimes it really is for the best not to find out.

My parents still together and this gets me

47 years old and this scene still gets me teared up....
When the audience got silent I knew they was crying
At the very end Uncle Phil whispered in Will’s ear “Now THAT’s acting”. True story.
For real?? I feel like saying that in a middle of the scene would break my attention lmao

Nun shoe is correct … I’ve seen the interview with Will about that scene
@@metalxhorror Will's dad was not only present in his life but also supportive of his choice to pursue an artistic career
Love how the studio audience was dead silent, you know some were crying.
That's one of the best scenes in any sitcom ever. Uncle Phil was always there for Will.
Rip Uncle Phil 😭😭❤️
I showed my pregnant gf this and she cried. I know we are going to be loving caring parents. She's due in March and I'm gonna be there for my little one. 💯
Congrats in advance man
How are things going, man?! Hope the baby is healthy and safe!
W father
I hope things are continuing!
2 years later and I hope that everything is going well
I saw this when it first came out. The line "how come he dont want me, man?" is the moment that broke me.
I saw this when it first aired and it gets me everytime. And I think about how many kids feel this way.
It broke an entire generation!
The look on Uncle Phil’s face at 6:24 really hits hard.
You know you're going to cry when Will acts a serious or emotional scene. He is truely the best actor in Hollywood for emotional acting. From Fresh Prince of Belair, to Pursuit of Happyness, to I Am Legend, his talent only grew. Truely one of the best actors of this generation, and to me wholly underrated
I'm 33 years old, and I had the good fortune to have a father who was there for me. Even so, this scene makes me weep until I can barely breathe.
I'm 47 year old man and still have tears for this, this is what made him a star, my opinion
My dad is one of my best friends. I cannot imagine not having him in my life...
Uncle Phil was a much BETTER father to Will than his biological dad ever was. He knew that Will's dad wasn't going to keep that promise on the trip they were going to take. And when Uncle Phil told Will, "You're my son," It warmed my heart, but this scene breaks my heart everytime I watch it.

That was unscripted because wills father really left him and he got emotional
Fathers who walk out should be arrested. It should be a crime, because in a way its a form of child abuse. 😭
That was Hillary (Karyn) crying.
@@jaeevanoff1661I heard this was false tho..

When he said “any man can have a baby, but only a true man can be a father” 😭omg that is to true. My dad treats me like a co worker, not his child, it’s getting better but honestly our relationship has always been not great now that I think about it
In so many ways I can relate to this episode because this part of it brings back so many painful memories.
It’s been awhile since I’ve seen this and I still cry at this part, I miss tv shows like this because they actually had messages to give.
One of the best reactions for this clip I have ever scene 🙌🖤 "we all deserve an uncle Phil in our life" - will Smith
I’m not crying it’s just dust in my eyes
I remember watching that episode in the 90s. Was gut wrenching. All alot of people want is the love of their father or mother. Very sad. Emotion is never a sign of weakness,the opposite it is the sign of strength. People need to learn that

I truely hope you found people to love you for who you are in Foster care 💕
So sorry you went through that. Im just so sorry.
So you show this scene to people and wait to judge their reaction?
I was put in foster care at age 11 due to physical abuse from my dad, I hope ur doing much better now. How long did it take for u to forgive ur dad?
@@joshuaroberts2763 I'm doing much better, it's been 30 years. It took 15 years and alot of therapy to forgive him. It helped that he underwent therapy as well.
Even to this day I try not to cry but the tears just come out.
YEAH. That was a HEAVY! HEAVY! Scene! It was Done Very well! BRAVO!
I cry every time I see this episode 😥
My dad was arround and we didnt always have a good relationship but this episode made me cry.
Feel you bro, big love from the UK. Lost my old man when I was 10. Got 6 kids now all under the same roof.
Love this show. I cry every time I see this episode
What I love about this scene is that during the whole time Will is going though his feelings, uncle Phil never moves from his spot. He is Will's rock. Uncle Phil had become his father in a way
Still hits me years later, especially as my dad wasn't the best dad or around much either.

I saw this scene a lot and I cried every time
This gets me every single time. No one should ever have a parent like this and I love Phil was there for him❤
This scene is one of many of why Uncle Phil is a GOAT. Rest In Power, James Avery. You were the TV Dad a lot of us needed growing up.
This was about as RAW as it could get, even hillary you could hear crying in the back....damn

I remember watching this as a kid. It was such a big thing. I felt so bad for Will and suddenly had so much respect for Phil.
The one great part Will put into this was how fast he went From "the state of Denial" to heart-breaking! Uncle Phil was the Real Father Figure.
Thanks for reacting to this. Shawns face actually helped me re watch this...

Watching the Fresh Prince reunion and hearing it from Will's side makes it hit that much harder
This goes way back. Thanks for sharing 🥲🥰
I hate seeing things like this, the pain that's been caused, I was abused as a child, beaten and punched day in day out, some days my mum gave me a kick that hard I got knocked out, but I grew up, I got out of that life eventually, I thought life was gonna get better, till the day I lost my child, that day was more painful, heartbreaking than any kick or punched I received as a child, I would of gave my life to allow him his, I can't understand how people can do this.

This scene is to relatable for me. It kills me every fucking time
Always hits home no matter how many times ive seen it
This scene ripped my heart out in jr high and it still does today.
Can't stop crying to this clip everytime I see it
I saw this over 20 x and it gets me every single times one of Will smiths best moments as an actor
Depending on my mood I cry every time I watch it, but no matter how happy I am I always cry on my second watch through
I just want to say to all whose father's left and never came back my hearts with you all lots of love to you all
Really called out single dad's back in the 90's. This scene made kids with married parents fucking feel the emotion!
The look James Avery gives Ben Verine at 4:02 said a lot.
The "you too. Lou" was the end of any relationship they were ever gonna have.
After this scene, Ben Verine said in an interview that he broke down when he walked out of the scene because he has kids and can never imagine a father doing that to his kids.
What up Shawn and mel keep the video coming
That is the best I've ever seen Will Smith act hands down now even gonna lie.
i relate to this on a personal level :,)
Every time I see this clip it brings me to a place I don’t like being 😢 I grew up without a father and have said those exact words “why doesn’t he want me” many times in my life.

This was my daughter with her father and I praise God for the man I have now who loves my daughter so unconditionally and raised her as his own . This scene makes me cry so much cause I know several people like this. My fiancés mom was just like wills father….its horrible
Just thinking about it gives me tears.
This video reminds me of how great Will Smith and be no matter what mistakes he made he can still be a great person.
Fun fact, Uncle Phil was the voice of Shredder on the ninja turtles cartoon
My dad never left us and so I don't have any first hand in this situation but this scene rips me apart because at some point in everybody's life they ask why don't ..... Want me is a question they ask!! 😢😢 Will talked about this scene in a reunion, and how he was struggling to find thos emotions and he said Uncle Phil grabbed him and hugged him after that scene and said "NOW that was acting,"
The only thing i learned from my father was the way not to be a father. My kids have their father, i always tell them, “Always remember Daddy loves you, and you will always have your father”
