16 Quotes From The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air That Are Just as Funny 30 Years Later

Everett

Thirty years ago, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air debuted on NBC, and it's still just as funny as it was back in 1990. While not all '90s sitcoms have aged well, the Will Smith-led series is a total gem, offering the perfect balance of hilarity and heart-wrenching moments. (If you didn't at least get choked up when Will asked Uncle Phil, "How come he don't want me, man?" in season four, then we have some questions for you.) While we wait for The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air cast-reunion special to air on HBO Max in November 2020 (and for the dramatic new Fresh Prince reboot to hit NBC's streaming platform Peacock), let's take a moment to appreciate some of the best quotes from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air's six-season run.
