From Will Smith losing it on Jada Pinkett during an Instagram Live, to Will's reaction to a Jim Carrey kiss, fans are looking at everything related to the 'Fresh Prince' star and his anger following the 'Oscar' slap. Fans are also flocking towards an iconic 'Fresh Prince' scene, which reminds fans of the 'Oscar' moment. Will's bowling alley scene has a near 2 million views on YouTube. Here's why fans are re-watching the 'Fresh Prince' scene.
Which 'Fresh Prince' Scene Are Fans Re-Watching After The Slap?
Still, fans and media can't stop talking about the 'Oscar' slap. Chris Rock has downplayed the situation, so far... while wisely, Will Smith hasn't made any sort of statement since his public apology.
Nonetheless, others continue to chime in, letting their thoughts and feelings be known. Jay Leno recently issued a statement, making mention that the slap wasn't what was bad, it was Will's reaction after the slap that really turned things negatively.
Will's good friend and 'Fresh Prince' co-star Jazzy Jeff would also recently speak out. According to the DJ, Will made a bad judgement call, but deserves forgiveness, because he is human after all.
"Don’t get it twisted that this would be something that he’s proud of. It was a lapse in judgement, you know? And I think the thing that I’ve realized is I don’t know too many people that have had the least amount of lapse of judgment than him. I can name 50 times that he should’ve smacked the shit out of somebody and he didn’t. So for him to have a lapse in judgment, he’s human. And I think a lot of the criticism comes from the people who don’t think people like that are human."
At the moment, fans are looking at everything Will Smith related when it comes to the actor losing his cool. Therefore, this hilarious 'Fresh Prince' scene was recently making the rounds once again.
This Time, Will Gets Punched For Defending His Girl
The particular scene takes place at the bowling alley, featuring Will Smith and Lisa Wilkes, played by Nia Long. During the scene, the two are having a great time bowling, but things take a twist when someone hits on Lisa while Will is taking his shot.
"Incase you didn't notice this my date," Will says. The dude then tells Lisa, "why don't you give up the go-cart and step into the stretch limo."
"Excuse me Messy Snipes, why don't you take your limo and ease out of my face."
Right as Will says, "he started this and I'm going to finish this," he eats a bad shot that had him hilariously dazed. This time around, things worked out differently.
The hilarious scene continues on with Will on the floor while Wilkes takes care of business herself, putting the dude down. Once Will realizes what took place, he gets upset at Lisa, claiming that he was about to retaliate.
It truly was quite the hilarious scene and one fans are re-watching today.
What Are The Fans Saying About The Scene?
Titled "The Punch," the video on YouTube has a near 2 million views at the moment. Comments on the video are spanning from years ago, to most recently. The older comments were praising Smith and how he sold the punch.
"It's insane how underrated Will Smith is as a physical comedian. The leg cross at 1:38 had me dying."
"This scene single-handedly generated the loudest response ever from a live studio audience since The Cosby Show era."
It really was all compliments towards the scene, however, in the recent weeks, the mood has changed following the Oscar slap, which is really what brought fans back to the scene.
"I think Will Smith had a flashback of this scene at the Oscars, decided to step out in front of this before it happened again."
"If only Will picked on this guy at the Oscars."
"This will happen to will In the next Oscars with Mike Tyson as host lol."
"In an alternate timeline where Chris knew what would happened and landed it first... then Will went back on his seat and did exactly that pose. Too soon, I know."
At the very least, fans managed to make light of the moment with this hilarious 'Fresh Prince' scene.
