The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, "Papa's Got a Brand New Excuse"
Booyah 90s Now
How come he don't want me, man? Rob and Joe break down one of the greatest scenes in sitcom history. This Booyah includes appearances by Will Smith, James Avery, Karyn Parsons, Alfonso Ribeiro, Bill Cosby, Sherman Hemsley, Tatiana Ali, and many others.
info_outlineJoe hopes he and Rob go bowling soon. Joe liked JV football. Rob liked Tristen until Tristen became a libertarian and Rob schooled him in a fashion that made Rob feel bad about himself. Rob is mostly drawn to entertainments he can see himself making. This episode of Aqua Teen is fun because a meatball gets depressed and David Cross turns up and a whole bunch of other strange and silly crap happens.
