Flashback Friday – Carlton Banks + Tom Jones = a funny clip

Foreclosures, bail outs, debate drama, etc., I needed a break.

I was never a fan of Will Smith's "rapping". I thought his flow was kinda wack. However, his show was pretty funny at times.

Carlton Banks was/is one of the best known geeks on the planet. This short compilation cracked me up. Go on Carlton, bust a move.

Have a great weekend.

joanne - wasn't he also on the show Sliver Spoons?

diana - I wish I could have been in the studio audience when he busted out with that dance for the first time.

gibber - I thought Hillary was v. funny too.

valerie - you're welcome.

glamah16 - I know what mean you about the "geekiness". ha At least it's better to be a geek than a nerd.

wordtryst - I agree

nancy - no I haven't had the pleasure yet. :) I love watching the show dubbed. Helps with the Italian.

Hee hee! Carlton should have had a dance-off with Elaine from Seinfeld ;)
Whatever happened to Carlton? He disappeared off the face of the earth.

Makes me wanna get up and dance! Just like him! That is awesome, I never realized how much he busted a move on that show. Who had the time to put that compilation together?? Fun stuff.

di mackey - you're welcome

milanese - ha. Her dance was too funny. I don't know what he is doing now. I assume he's living very well from the royalties from the show.

shelley - the person must have had a LOT of time of their hands to put that together.

Great video clip! Thanks for reminding me of his dancing scenes. I loved that show. I also wondered what happened to him. Did you notice the actress who played his younger sister in one of the recent Obama videos?

girasoli - I haven't seen her in the video but she has been a few movies and I know she had a CD out at one point.

*Ummmmmmmm* Let's all channel our inner-Carlton. LOVE your blog, by the way. My co-workers occasionally sing that song to me because I tend to dress so like him.

sippinwineman - grazie for the compliment.

I think he needs to do a dance off with Urkel from Family Matters. Do the Urkel - do the Ur..Ur...Urkel!! LOL

Do you remember the Carlton as a stripper episode? He was so shockingly built!

NYW - no I don't remember that!
