Uncle Phil was the best on screen Dad, Will ever had

“How come he don’t want me, man?” Gets my eyes watering every single time. This is one of the most heart-wrenching scenes of all time.

Growing up in the '80s & '90s, my childhood was very tough like so many others, I moved away from my dads house and lived with my Uncle Pat, who became the father figure I needed and helped me out all the way til he passed away, My Uncle Pat was Uncle Phil and I really miss him so much.

That last part of the video about the dad situation is always sad to me. Uncle Phil was a good man, he was a good dad, and he was a good uncle for his family and on the show. I'm proud of him and I still love the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air show.

R.I.P. James Avery

That scene at the 7 minute mark hit me hard as a kid. Because every thing Will rattled off I had to learn on my own and experience without my father. Fresh Prince, Family Matters and Saved by the Bell were great shows

Love Uncle Phil. Fave moment was when he called Will his son in the series finale. Rest peacefully, James Avery

the last one hit me hard, as someone who grew up where my dad wasnt in my life. My dad was a bit of a better dad then wills. But not by much. He left me when I was 4, and I still see him but typically its just once or twice a year. if even, I mean my mom raised me. And I have a stepdad now. lol. ok, yeah im gonna stop the message now before i start thinking about it and get emotional.

Uncle Phil was the best! May he rest in Power!

Uncle Phil was an absolute legend. This was absolutely one of the best shows of the 90s

My absolute favorite, uncle Phil episode was when Will’s dad showed up and left. uncle Phil was there for Will, as always, broke my heart, but made me love uncle Phil, even more. ❤

So many wonderful memories, watching James Avery as Uncle Phil, such an amazing talent, all of us, need an Uncle Phil in our lives.

Dam! I love 😍 Phill in the Sheriff's Office scene. Where can I get a lawyer like that?! Where can I get a parent, a friend, like that?!

Everyone needs a father like Uncle Phil.

Last one hit the hardest. RIP Uncle Phil.

The way Phil let Will get it all out when all the pain of his father abandoning him again and just being there was perfect. I was there once, my "Uncle Phil" was my best friend's dad. He's the man who taught me all those things father's teach sons.

James Avery was by far one of my all-time favorite actors. In the past when people used to ask me to list five people I would love to meet... James Avery was part of that list. We miss ya Uncle Phil.

"How come he don't want me man!?" These words just really get to me when I think of my own father who left my mother and I when I was a child to move in with my Mom's sister and father five other half-sibling cousins. Although he died in 2000, I never really got any closure with him, and this scene hurts my heart to the core. Maybe if I had an Uncle Phil in my life, maybe things could have been different. Who knows. All I can do is be the best father that I can be to my daughter and son so that they don't have to go through this pain I'm still carrying years later.

Rest in peace uncle Phil for real

Damn. Uncle Phil was a REAL man.

That second scene with the police, only on TV. Knowing what we know today, Uncle Phil and the misses would be in body bags, and the newspapers would just repeat whatever lie the cops put out about it. The only thing that is realistic and probably saved them is their social class. So it actually leaves a bigger distate in the mouth when you ponder on it for a moment.
