Aunt viv is the type of person to take you to the gym while you are kicking and screaming Aunt viv is the type of person to glue your hand to a fork if you refused to eat your sheperds pie
Light skint aunt Viv didn't even have a personality. My theory is that the producers KNEW nobody would even come close to the OG aunt Viv so they didn't even try.
*This is the kind of stuff she gave to that character for 3 seasons. She brought life to the character!* She reminded people of their own Mom or Aunt. *_Janet Hubert was the BEST Aunt Viv._* She was a professional _(college professor)_ and mom, would discuss Black History, did not play when it came to the kids, was romantic with Uncle Phil as a wife; also had his back, didn't take crap from no one, while also letting her hair down and having FUN. Daphne Reid was dull and unconvincing. Had it not been for the great Comedic dynamic between Carlton, Will and Uncle Phil the show would not have made it 3 more seasons after the painful change. *_It would've lasted another 5 Seasons with the Original Aunt Viv._*
The two mum's of US sitcom you don't want to mess with: the origional Aunt Viv and Clair Huxtable or if you throw in Sophua Petrilo it become the three.
What I love most about the dance clip is you can hear/sense the audience confusion when she starts killing the dance because of her reactions when the instructor was going thru the routine
can we all just appreciate Aunt Viv did that dance in some kind of high-heel based footwear while everyone else was either bare-foot or wearing trainers.
If this was real life, I'd much rather prefer the first Vivian as my aunt or mother than the second Vivian. The first one was career oriented, ambitious, yet still loving and nurturing when need be. A real role model for girls and women. The second one was too irresponsible at times, letting her kids get away with too much and just depended on her husband most of the time. The first Aunt Vivian was protective of her kids yet let them reach for the stars while the second one let them get away with almost anything. Not good at all. Sends the wrong message to the public. Anyone care to comment or agree?
All of the negative stuff Phil says involving Aunt Viv, the second one would always get upset and walk away whilst the first would make a sassy remark. Yeah Janet Hubert is better in every way
@@3333sweetie Exactly, it's like they just demolished everything she was and decided to make her a character that was just there. Second one had no memorable or funny moments
@@aaronkenyon7112 The second one acted more like a stepmother. As an aunt, she took no interest in Will either, considering she was his biological relative!
Just the way the one biggest and toughest guy got up, got told “Boy do not test me” and immediately sat back down Nothing, and I mean NOTHING terrifies men more, than a mother figure stepping in and giving them one warning before they smack some sense into you You can be as adapted to pain as possible, a smack from a mother figure hurts on an EMOTIONAL level
Loved Janet Hubert in PPOBA. She brought so much to the show: class, elegance, intellect, grace, breathtaking beauty and a sense of humor (allowing herself to be vulnerable)...stopped watching the show after she left. Regret no one stepped in to support her.
I was a kid the last time I really watched fresh prince and I'm thirty now. And I'm just like HOW DID I NEVER NOTICE VIVs CLOTHES I love her clothes in this show
Most of the blame has to be put upon the writers for how they changed the character of Aunt Viv when the cast change happened. They took away all the characters strong aspects, strong story lines and put her more in the background.
That was because it was a new actress and they knew that the audience wasn't gonna be as invested. Later episodes focused on Will and Phil's relationship because of that.
I know that every actor embodies and interprets their role differently but the second Vivian had nothing in common with the first. The first one was a tough power woman, former dancer and college professor. You couldn't mess with her at all. The second one was completely different in character, she seemed like a staid housewife and not a former dancer and college professor. The scene with Vivien in Compton would be unthinkable with the second Vivian.
I loved original Viv. She was a formed character in her own right whereas new Viv was merely Phils wife. The new mellow Viv allowed the spotlight on Phil and for him to be the main parental role to Will. Original Viv was definitely a more skilled actress. I think Will wouldn't have had as many adventures with original Viv cracking down on him!
Janet brought a lot of oomph to the character. She played a leading role where as the 2nd Viv was more of a filler. Will, Carlton, Hilary, Uncle Phil, Geoffrey and Aunt Viv (Janet's version) were all leading roles with defined poignant characters to the point where each of them could be mimicked. Girls could talk like Hilary, Carlton has a dance, etc. But the 2nd Aunt Viv was given a filler supporting, role.
I’m glad she and Will reconciled. She was the perfect Aunt Viv.
Unlike the second Aunt Viv, she brings NO connection of the character, no offense, but she weren't suppose to be inside the show.
@@cooldramaalpha2255 she had really dry clueless acting
Second aunt Viv wasn’t bad at all they both made the character there own
Absolutely!
@@cooldramaalpha2255
Actually, Daphne Maxwell Reid (who was asked first) turned it down.
"Boy, do not test me."
"Yes ma'am."
That's funny 🤣😂🤣😂
Sad to hear he past recently. RIP to him.
Ya don't fuck Aunt Viv. Ya just don't. You'll always lose.
Deebo don't want that smoke with Aunt Viv.

She was the best
I do
I did...she owned the role.
I don't understand why she was fired !
@@974cerebrate disagreements between Janet and Will
@@JamesJones-zq7pc I see, thank you for the information.
As far as I’m concerned..she’s the only Aunt Viv I claim..she was a professor; intellectual and the replacement was demoted to just a common housewife
Light skint aunt Viv didn't even have a personality. My theory is that the producers KNEW nobody would even come close to the OG aunt Viv so they didn't even try.
Light skinned Aunt Viv was still a professor but not much focus was put on it.
D. HoChoy Mot much focus was on her for anything she did to tell that truth.
“A common housewife” has also a lot of merit. Let’s not discourage and disparage.
@@DBZAOTA482 i never even heard mention school...did she?
“I want my present” 😂 I loved that line lol
One of my all time faves!
The original Aunt Viv was so iconic. She brought a good vibe to the show.
not what Will and the rest of the crew said tho...
@@wololoswe’re talking about the character right?
this is 7 dollas!? - Denise Clinton
First Aunt Viv is the best Mom in Tv history
Yep
Indeed
Better than second Aunt Viv.
Wait wait
Better than Clair Huxtable? 🤭
HOLD UP ... (Let’s not get too crazy.) Love Aunt Viv, but CLAIR HUXTABLE. End of discussion.
Janet Hubert is sooo multi-talented!!! The world missed out on a lot of great things from her.
1:38 that snap never gets old 😂
"Daddy i need $300!"
Janet Hubert...THANK YOU!
That was HILARIOUS 😂😂... When I was binging this I kept rewinding that part
@@moviebuffchick7376 looool she nailed it lol
@@vgreen1106 she did. Loved it!!
@@moviebuffchick7376 me 2 lmao
Yes and at the police station, “oh honey, it’s bout to get busy up in here, removing her earrings”. 😁😃😆😅😂😍
I feel like First Aunt Viv was allowed to be more fun
Instant like for opening with the ICONIC dance scene. 👍🏾
My fave!!!
Why on Earth would anybody give this a thumbs-down? I love Janet Hubert's Aunt Viv. She was funny, sassy, witty, bold, & multi-talented.
They jealous
Two words: Will Smith
- BOY DO NOT TEST ME
- yes ma’am
LOOOL when she was imitating Hilary, that was on point. this is my Aunt Viv period
Anyone here after the reunion. The real aunt viv. Never gets old. Childhood memories.
She was so classy and down to earth
"I want my present" XD
Best and most iconic Aunt Viv compilations
She's gorgeous! Real beautiful.
“Oh, really? Does this sound familiar? Daddy, I need 300 dollars.” 😂😂😂
Her Hillary impression 😂😂😂😂
She’s a great dancer and actress.
And singer.
@@mykoniichistorychannel true . forgot that
Graceful, statuesque, great comic timing and delivery!!! Very talented lady.
She always looked so beautiful and elegant
Love OG Aunt Viv. Her face reminds me of my little cousin who would always make me laugh so hard as a baby.
2:51 her expression is priceless 🤣😂🤣😂
That dance scene is so satisfying.

Nobody could ever do her justice! I want more of the original Aunt Viv!!!!
Daddeee... I need $300😂😂😂😂😂😂🙌 classic
The two mum's of US sitcom you don't want to mess with: the origional Aunt Viv and Clair Huxtable or if you throw in Sophua Petrilo it become the three.
I think the producers of Fresh Prince were inspired by Clair Huxtable to write Aunt Viv.
Harriet winslow
I always thought Claire was pompus and mean. Aunt Viv was only mean to those that disrespected her.
Don't forget about Florida Evans
Psychology I agree I much preferred Aunt Viv she could be strict like Claire if she had to be but usually she was laid back and more approachable
She had hilary voice down to a T. Priceless 😂😂😂😂😅
Bro that snap at 1:38 was even more powerful than Thano’s and Tony’s snap 😵💫
3:17
Queen status
Aunt Vivian was BOSS! Damn, wished she played all of the series.. damn Will
What I love most about the dance clip is you can hear/sense the audience confusion when she starts killing the dance because of her reactions when the instructor was going thru the routine
Yes that my black queen
She was amazing in the role..she was definitely a caring black mama and I loved ever minute of her scenes
We love you Aunt Viv ❤️
The original Aunt Viv
She may have been difficult to work behind the scenes from what we're told, but she was good in this role.
The snap!!
can we all just appreciate Aunt Viv did that dance in some kind of high-heel based footwear while everyone else was either bare-foot or wearing trainers.
Yes and killed it and looked amazing in that leotard! 🔥 OG Aunt Viv will always be the only Aunt Viv for me! ♥️
@@tanyahopper1883 agreed!
She’s beautiful. “Sitting by the fire”😍
Love that
O honey we bout to get very busy here🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's when the earrings commme off na!
I'm sorry but she really was the perfect Aunt Viv!
Sadly she didn't stay till the end she was awesome
She even made Tommy Lister Jr scared of her
Yes he knew she meant business...classic
Who's that?

I came here after ET Canada said the OG viv could dance. I didn't know that. Damnnnn those leggggsss
I love this aunt Viv. She didnt take any shit and stood up for herself... the other on aunt viv was so wihiny to me.
Just the way the one biggest and toughest guy got up, got told “Boy do not test me” and immediately sat back down

When she danced so well at the end it felt like the same scene when benson was break dancing in regular show.
I love Aunt Viv!!!🥰🥰🥰
@1:38 that snap was everytbingggggg
They say shine but not too bright ... you till out shine the suppose star.....the strong black woman is always seen as a threat
My favorite scene from her is when she was singing in the mall
She was a queen ❤
“Oh honey we’re about to get very busy up in here” 😂😂😂😂😂
I mean it’s a bad idea to allow this to program your conduct in real life though. It was just a sitcom. And now we’re in a nuclear wasteland.. 🤷🏻♀️
That snap gives me life

Very touching moment when Will talked to Janet after 27 years to make ammends
I was a kid the last time I really watched fresh prince and I'm thirty now. And I'm just like HOW DID I NEVER NOTICE VIVs CLOTHES I love her clothes in this show
Miss Janet was the superior Aunt Viv, no offense to Miss Daphne, but she couldn’t hold a candle...
One of my favourite moments of viv
Look out! Earrings are out!!!
I love that snap!!!
Its the snap for me 🤣🤣
I want this woman as my motivational coach!!
DAMN! that snap at those girls after she lit up the floor is probably still reverberating in their minds to this day
I cannot rate the moms any further than this. Clair, first Vivian and first Harriet are the best three mothers I grew up with on TV.
Totally agree 👍
She is such a great actress !
Most of the blame has to be put upon the writers for how they changed the character of Aunt Viv when the cast change happened. They took away all the characters strong aspects, strong story lines and put her more in the background.
Well the serial was about wil mainly si yeah
That was because it was a new actress and they knew that the audience wasn't gonna be as invested. Later episodes focused on Will and Phil's relationship because of that.
Everyone needs an uncle Phil and an aunt Viv ❤
I know that every actor embodies and interprets their role differently but the second Vivian had nothing in common with the first.

The second one was completely different in character, she seemed like a staid housewife and not a former dancer and college professor.

For me this is the only aunt viv beautiful strong female with a big heart that don’t take no nonsense
When she took those earrings off though!
I still get chills when I watch this scene. 😲❤ it's so awesome.
I miss Aunt Viv.
Between her, Phyicia Rashad, Angela Bassett my childhood was good. We were set!! 👸🏾
Anybody noticed Hillary's picture @3:16 LOL
Wow, can't believe I never noticed that!
1:38. If that snap is not a meme, it should be!! Go aunt Viv queen!!!
Growing up watching this i always felt personally affronted anytime viv2 was on screen.
3:24 boy do not test me
3:53 "calm yourself, barney fife" 😂

i actually watched the show because of her. Best Aunt Viv ever.
I miss this version. Hated her character's reincarnation.
Janet you are my favorite Aunt Viv. You Rock
@0:49 that strut though!!!
that chocolate skin in that soft pink... no one can top that!
Even thanos took notes on that *SNAP!*
Janet brought a lot of oomph to the character. She played a leading role where as the 2nd Viv was more of a filler. Will, Carlton, Hilary, Uncle Phil, Geoffrey and Aunt Viv (Janet's version) were all leading roles with defined poignant characters to the point where each of them could be mimicked. Girls could talk like Hilary, Carlton has a dance, etc. But the 2nd Aunt Viv was given a filler supporting, role.
Yeah, I don't think there was a single memorable moment for the second Aunt Vivian. At least for me.
Janet was always a great role model for African-American women!!❤ Absolutely love her!!❤
I would throw in the “Three months ago?!” scene from the episode when Hilary drops out of school also.That was hilarious😂
She's luminous❤
When them earrings came off.....RUN. 😩😩😩
2:25 that step will forever be iconic 💃💯💨👏🏾😂
