Alfonso Ribeiro, best remembered as Carlton in "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air", whipped out the ace card in Dancing With The Stars. Perfect 10s. Just give him the trophy already. Music: Tom Jones "It's not unusual"
It’s so funny cause there are old interviews he did where he said he hated the Carlton role because it did type cast him. I guess as he got older he just embraced it
Alfonso doing 'the carlton' probably the only time a celebrity said to the professional dancer.... "No, you're doing it wrong, watch me and try to keep up"
@Ignacio Muñoz Diaz LOL! She's great! But this actually happened. She had some difficulty learning exactly how to do the Carlton and breaking down all the moves.
Alfonso came into this with a huge advantage, he has a dance he is famous for and he knows the crowd was waiting for it on top of being an excellent dancer already
He came with the huge advantage that he’s a professional dancer. Carlton was his second career. Read his biography. He danced in a Pepsi ad when he was 8 years old with Michael Jackson. He’s awesome but he should never have been on this show. th-cam.com/video/c7cfEQPKTqE/w-d-xo.html
@@jondavwal13 Tough call, as he is technically both. Reminds me of a guy I went to high school with. He was not allowed to join the tennis team because he was ranked nationally in the under 18 category. It would not be fair to the other students.
I'm the same age as Alfonso Ribero, so I watched him as a kid. I had a huuuuuge crush on him when he was on Silver Spoons and I started watching Fresh Prince because of Alfonso, not Will Smith. He always danced before so I think a lot of his same-age fans know his background, but it's cool to see that he is more well-known for it now. I'm sure this show helped.
Ebiwanton Please help me because my ribs are hurting from this uncontrollable laughter. I think that this is the is the only comment that made me laugh so much. Every time that I see it.Man, that was an original comment that has made laugh to the point of no return. Thank you.😂 😂 😂 😂
@@angeliquebettencourt5592 Haha! If you really want to laugh go and rewatch Fresh Prince. Just finished a marathon viewing and still stands the test of time!
LOL, Alfonso is a professional dancer, he was one before becoming an actor. As many people has pointed out, Alfonso as a child appeared in a Michael Jackson's PEPSI commercial in the 80's. Yes, as a child he was already a good dancer, good enough to be picked by Michael Jackson to appear in his commercial. Here's the commercial: th-cam.com/video/po0jY4WvCIc/w-d-xo.html
Alfonso starred in the Tap Dance Kid on Bway alongside Michael Jackson. Back then I read that as young as he was he picked on the steps faster than MJ. I went to see it and I liked the show very much.
When they did the Carlton then moved on to their dance, no sooner did I say to my husband, "They missed a part!" that they did the slide part of The Carlton! I felt even happier that the whole dance got shown. All that was missing is the candle that Carlton sang into when he 1st danced it on Fresh Prince.
Alfonso's "Carlton dance" is a classic; it's so much fun and never gets old, no matter how many times I see it. Alfonso made TV history with it, and he's a great, funny actor and TV show host.
My buddy plays the song on the bowling alley jukebox every Saturday and we watch the crowd to see if anyone dances to it. Only once have we not seen someone dancing!
TheTurulhawk you don’t realise how much hip movement and things he does... until you want him her. all of a sudden it leaves you thinking “i.... i can’t actually do this.... and i’ve been doing it for 20 years”
the first time I saw Carlton do it in 1991, when I was 4-years-old, I knew I had to try it out and continued practicing for years as I saw him do it and became quite easy after following each step but of course I still can’t do it as well as Alfonso, the master and inventor of it. For a beginner it is very hard to do because you need to make 4 body movements at the same time with your legs, hips, arms, and head.
xSaintsfangirl #WHODATNATION Fortnite and Epic Games are greedy companies who stole something that is extremely popular and didn’t even pay a dime to Alfonso. In fact, ALL their dance moves were taken from other pop culture celebrity dancers without permission. That’s why it pisses me off when everyone calls it the Fresh “Fortnite Dance”.
Alfonso doing his dance is nothing but pure joy, like dancing when nobody is watching. The Carlton will go down in history, so many years giving everyone that watches JOY!!!
He admitted that he mentally went back to his fresh prince days while doing this, and ended up pulling a muscle that he didn’t notice until later because of how far in the zone he was.
He still moves like he is 12 when he danced with Michael Jackson in the Pepsi commercial. Alphonso Ribero is a triple threat. Acting, dancing and comedy. ❤
@@colleen4ever or just getting into shape. you're acting like weed cigarettes/liquor or even junk food automatically makes you disabled 😂😂😂😂😂 i have a history with smoking cigarettes, drinking liquor and whatnot at young age then changed my life around finally at 30 getting into fitness. im now 34 with 9% body fat, 175lbs/6ft
0:54 I love how she took a moment to let him do the Carlton dance by himself before she joined him cuz they knew the audience was gonna go crazy for it!
Yes... I thought that was a good move chorographically to allow him to "solo" before joining in.. :) It showcased that it was his signature move.. Michael Jackson had the moonwalk, Alfonso had the Carlton.. :)
I love "The Carlton" perfect 40 score says it all. The sheer abandon that dance has is why it's so fun. Plus the look on his face when he does it. Brings sheer joy to all who watch it.
Watermelon luver1110 yes, he (james avery) did. But did you really have to rub in our faces? I'm sure that Ratrone123 ment it with love. James COULD BE looking down from above amd cheer on Alfonso.
That's why he wasn't able to go far in his acting career. He said that he was always seen and known as Carlton so it was difficult for him to get acting jobs
@@darthmalgus3043 who said Carlton isn't awesome? He's the best! Alfonso himself said he was typecast which is unfortunate because he can act, dance, sing...a triple threat
I know this was two months ago, but I need to agree here. Whenever Alfonso does "The Carlton", there is just abject joy on the man's face. He knows this is HIS dance. He knows he's the only one that can do it to perfection. I wish to one day be able to do something that can make me smile with that much genuine joy.
Alfonso is the KING! Such a great guy and his dancer had a sense of humor if she decided to do the Carlton. I didn't watch the season but this moment is damn perfect and amazing!
Nobody will ever do the Carlton , like him. He just has that magic touch. I used to watch him on the fresh prince, when he did this and how they played it off like he couldn't dance, even though he's been a amazing dancer since he was a child.Love him
I think people forget that he first got noticed because of his dancing. He won a competition for kids who could dance like Michael Jackson. He was even in a Pepsi Commercial with Jackson
Oscar Barahona If you watch MJs videos closely, you'll see he's outdanced by all the professionals working behind him. For a singer, MJ was a good dancer. And Fred Astaire, for a dancer, was a good singer. And Sammy Davis Jr. was a better singer AND dancer than both of them.
Why wouldn't they? If I remember right, even when he did it in Fresh Prince, he came up with that routine himself... pretty sure that's an Alfonso Ribeiro original signature move!
@@bighawk3778 It was a stupid movement that his character of FPOB did when Tom Jones song was on. Hell, anyone can do it but, only if they want to imitate the Carlton character. They wouldn't do it to show that they can dance!
@@edwardgaines6561 I dunno, I tend to think it's just the person tbh. I've seen plenty of bad looking black people lol That said, I would agree that on average, the black skin does tend to age slower The question is, is it enough to beat the 'white is right' mindset among many black males? :)
@@andrewsmith754 Ultraviolet light causes aging damage and the darker your skin is, the more protective against UV damage. As for the other, let people like who they like. It'll all balance out eventually. It'd probably help, though, if *white people* quit telling black people that "white is right" in various ways. You hear that through enough generations of people, it starts sinking in.
+No Future00 Carlton Banks aka Alfonso Ribeiro is the ULTIMATE DANCER ! There was never any doubt in my mind. I spend my junior high and high school watching Cartlon on the Fresh Prince. I could always count on him or his dance to cheer me up. Thank you Alfonso !
Even a professional dancer can't do the Carlton dance as well as Alfonso (although, wearing comfortable shoes would have helped her move her legs more smoothly). Keep going Alfonso, rock those beautiful hips of yours.
Giving him this song during DWTS is like handing Thanos the Infinity Stones
Lol
Lmao
Tom Jones was the MAN in the 60's
Agreed he killed it.
That dude can dance to anything. It's a beautiful thing
Uncle Phil in heaven: “that’s my boy”

aww thats so cute😎
Damn 😭😭

Did Uncle Phil saw his son dance?
Who's still watching Carlton dance in 2024?
Tú, yo ... Y muchos más.
Me sumo❤
@@andrepiagneri4220 👍👍👍

Guilty! 😂 and still loving it
I love that he doesn’t shy away from the role. Some people hate being type cast or whatever but he plays into it and makes people so happy.
It’s so funny cause there are old interviews he did where he said he hated the Carlton role because it did type cast him. I guess as he got older he just embraced it
I think it's because this is who he really is. His wife looks exactly like that and he dresses the same way, he became this person
@@malwd6321💯 percent. He’s not playing a character. That’s him
It's like michael jackson and his moonwalk.
ALOT of people can do it, but nobody does it like him.
Michael S.
U said it bro
Billy ocean can
Well I don't think a lot of people can do it hell I don't think even Will Smith can do it. But even the people who can are nothing on Alfonso
"Often imitated, never duplicated" as they say.
Ironic since Alfonso danced with MJ in a Pepsi commercial doing the moonwalk
Alfonso doing 'the carlton' probably the only time a celebrity said to the professional dancer.... "No, you're doing it wrong, watch me and try to keep up"
Alfonso is a pro dancing since he was a kid!
I'm amazed that everyone keeps forgetting that Alfonso used to be the "Tap Dance Kid" he was a dancer before he was an actor
Yes, the show the fresh Prince of Bel-Air actually had an enormous amount of talent on it.
@@xell5252 Definitely. Alfonso probably has a much longer experience in dance, than most of the pros in Dancing with the Stars.
@Ignacio Muñoz Diaz LOL! She's great! But this actually happened. She had some difficulty learning exactly how to do the Carlton and breaking down all the moves.
An iconic TV moment. That dance is among the most recognizable choreography ever, and Ribeiro owns it.

He has been a professional dancer since he was 8 years old. As between the two he is the pro.
got that right she not got the hips swigging like him
It doesn't hurt that our preconceptions of it is him specifically doing it.
He said it's a difficult dance because of the very specific hip movement.
I call the race card
I still think this is the ALL TIME greatest DWTS dance.
Agreed!
I agree! I always come back to it! Whitney’s choreography is ALWAYS on point!!
i love bindi’s and alfonsos x
Facts
Probably the first time in DWTS history that the actor had to teach the dancer the dance lol
Absolutly yes.
She rocked it tho. With her own cute style. Alphonso is just the king of that dance!
LOL, Alfonso is a professional dancer, he was one before becoming an actor. As many people has pointed out, Alfonso as a child appeared in a Michael Jackson's PEPSI commercial in the 80's.

All joking aside, Alfonso Ribeiro is one talented dude. He's a born entertainer.
@xanddy loppes I clicked on it. It says the video has been removed. SPAM. 🤨😤🤬😠😡😾🙍♀️🙍♂️
nate means -- can’t deny the facts
Wow... They both are talented.. I love the chemistry...Nuff said..
He's very talented, that's undeniable. However, he had an unfair advantage on DWTS because of his past dancing experience.
Alfonso starred in the Tap Dance Kid on Bway alongside Michael Jackson. Back then I read that as young as he was he picked on the steps faster than MJ. I went to see it and I liked the show very much.
0:53 he gave the people what they wanted and we love him for it ❤️♥️💕
One time joking around turned into a repeated gag and ended up being a pop culture staple. That Alfonso still pulls the dance out is classic.
Just love how the audience lost it when Alfonso did The Carlton.
It's like a Wrestling "pop"
Same here
It’s iconic
When they did the Carlton then moved on to their dance, no sooner did I say to my husband, "They missed a part!" that they did the slide part of The Carlton!

Undeveloped individuals: The fresh dance
Intellectual individuals: The Carlton
I have changed my ways
Yea the carlton
i litterally searched for "Prince doing the carlton" well of course i found this instead but still
Idiots: fOrTnITe
Yes thank you
It’s 2022 and this video still makes me smile so much, every time it pops up on my suggestions I have to watch it, his energy is so contagious.
I feel you, and I'm getting recommended it every day! And I watch it everyday!
Alfonso's "Carlton dance" is a classic; it's so much fun and never gets old, no matter how many times I see it. Alfonso made TV history with it, and he's a great, funny actor and TV show host.
Yes, his hosting is miles ahead of Tyra Banks on Dancing with the Stars, who was ABSOLUTELY dreadful at the role. Totally miscast.

Even the girl who is a renowned dancer can't carlton like Carlton
What girl?
I totally agree. He's a much better dancer - and not just at the Carlton. Much more fluid and natural. It's effortless.

My youngest brother does the Carlton perfectly, including the facial expression!
He makes it all look so effortless. The man is just the consummate entertainer.
The moment he did that dance he won the show!
I love how everyone just loses their mind when he finally does it
Right
So did I 😂
It was like waiting for the beat to drop.
Except for the guy in red at 1.35.
Yes!!!!
The dance that makes everyone smile and clap.... Alfonso and the Carlton are truly a part of tv culture ..............
Except for the guy from Mean Girls...
I love it !!
So, what are those tears in my eyes?
Omg how did you know
Ikr😂😂❤
Alfonso doing his dance is nothing but pure joy, like dancing when nobody is watching. The Carlton will go down in history, so many years giving everyone that watches JOY!!!
I have never seen an adult man happier than all the times Alfonso did the Carlton dance.
When he does the carlton dance and the audience roars...that’s just the definition of happy.
I was thinking...no...feeling the same thing.
I know so sweet!!
The difference from being told to applaud when instructed and applauding when you genuinely love it.
EVERYONE was happy...even the people he was competing against. The world was waiting! = )
Good
The pure joy when he started doing the "Carlton"...Everything!
"joy" is the right word
He admitted that he mentally went back to his fresh prince days while doing this, and ended up pulling a muscle that he didn’t notice until later because of how far in the zone he was.
Alfonso is so underrated as an entertainer and comedian. Love him.
he is a great dancer. his body is so expressive, he makes pretty lines, uses his space, confident in his steps, facials on point. best contestant ever
Part of me was waiting for Will Smith to come down the stairs and give him the look
Oh the slap 😅
Will Smith & Alfonso Ribeiro did The Carlton together when they were on The Graham Norton Show.😃
Same. Same here. Lol
Will and him did the Carlton at the end of the fresh prince of bell air. I remember that episode. I was there for that end.
🤣
I have no idea why... but seeing him doing the Carlton-Dance in combination with this iconic song always make me feel happy...
Totally agree!!!
Same. It brought me so much joy.
As it should
Nice old days... 30 years.
It's a moment captured in time that will never age. It will always stay as pure as the first time we saw it on TV.
Great chemistry between Alfonso Ribeiro and Witney Carson. They did an awesome performance. 💯%
Thank you for letting me know her last name
All these years later, still so entertaining!!!
What makes "the carlton" so special is that it encapsules perfectly the feeling of having fun dancing...while not knowing how to dance.
@Weghweh Hwewehwhe Alfonso obviously can dance, but the character Carlton is not supposed to
While actually being a fairly difficult dance to pull off well.
One thing I like about "Hotline Bling" is that it's virtually *impossible* to dance badly to it. No matter what movements you make, it fits the music.
He was being himself
I believe it is the sense of carefree fun and enthusiasm it conveys.
Once My Man Hit That Carlton Dance, The Other Contestants Were Like....
"Damn We Are Fucked!"
Its weird how he is the better dancer
Right, that was a deal breaker
I completely agree
0:56 crowd loses their minds…game over
1:34 trying to smile through the pain. Guy in the red shirt
The iconic Carlton dance never gets old😂
I can't say it enough how much I just start to smile/laugh when he starts doing his dance. The others contestants didn't have a chance after that.
His face while dancing to this song is always so happy. It’s contagious . He is still moves like he’s 20. Amazing.
That;s what comes from living a clean, drug free life.

As soon as that song started, you knew it was over
No matter how many times I watch this, I absolutely enjoy it. One of the best routines of the series 💕
I think people forget that he first got noticed because of his dancing. He won a competition for kids who could dance like Michael Jackson. He was even in a Pepsi Commercial with Jackson
Michael Jackson would disfigure him in a dance off though.
He also starred on Broadway as The Tap Dance Kid, a role later played by Savion Glover. So he's no slouch when it comes to dancing.
Some of us are old enough to remember that!
You're only saying that cause Mike is obviously more famous. We'll never find out anyways
Oscar Barahona
If you watch MJs videos closely, you'll see he's outdanced by all the professionals working behind him.
For a singer, MJ was a good dancer. And Fred Astaire, for a dancer, was a good singer. And Sammy Davis Jr. was a better singer AND dancer than both of them.
Can we thank DWTS for letting him do his signature dance. This was epic
💯💯💯🎯🤣🤣🤣❤
Why wouldn't they? If I remember right, even when he did it in Fresh Prince, he came up with that routine himself... pretty sure that's an Alfonso Ribeiro original signature move!
Best EVER
@@PrinceTrexus Than Fortnite came along and they wanted the rights to the dance. 🤣
@@elindigeno1215 what?? the audacity! 😂
He can so naturally make you smile.
He embodied Carlton that whole dance , that was amazing, such a good actor. And dancer!
The carlton is a forbidden dance only Alfonso can do it
Lindsay was pretty good
Big Hawk, that's because no one would want to do it!
Why not?
@@bighawk3778 It was a stupid movement that his character of FPOB did when Tom Jones song was on. Hell, anyone can do it but, only if they want to imitate the Carlton character. They wouldn't do it to show that they can dance!
Were you even born when that show was out?
He's aged pretty well. He barely looks a day older than his days on Fresh Prince
Blk don't crack.
@@edwardgaines6561 I dunno, I tend to think it's just the person tbh. I've seen plenty of bad looking black people lol
That said, I would agree that on average, the black skin does tend to age slower
The question is, is it enough to beat the 'white is right' mindset among many black males? :)
You know what they say, An Alfonso is Forever 😄
@@andrewsmith754 Oprah being one of them
@@andrewsmith754 Ultraviolet light causes aging damage and the darker your skin is, the more protective against UV damage.
As for the other, let people like who they like. It'll all balance out eventually. It'd probably help, though, if *white people* quit telling black people that "white is right" in various ways. You hear that through enough generations of people, it starts sinking in.
That is just beyond fantastic!
I do not ever get tired of watching Alfonso dance. His smile is infectious and he really does a great Tom jones !
OMG he finally did the Carlton! Yes! Long live the Carlton dance!
Funniest home videos
1:34 that guy must be thinking: "Why did it have to be the Carlton? How could you possibly outclass the Carlton?"
No body can outclass the Carlton 😂
What! Stiff as she was!
+NovaSeraAngel | The Catholic Gamer HE'S BACKKKK AND HE'S BLACKKKKK
+NovaSeraAngel | The Catholic Gamer Dominican not black
Volvagia´s Blaze The guy in red looks like SHELDON COOPER !
love watching this again and again...
This dance is definition of happiness🤩
Okay, first off, that ain't fair. HE CAN ACTUALLY DANCE. LOL.
Old news. If you watch the commercial he did with Michael Jackson when he was a kid, you will know he can dance.
@@tami8458 Pretty sure that's what Jerome was referencing.
@@canajaneh My mistake, I stand corrected.
Pepsi kid & yes he can dance...he is my fav
That is more than fair he is a star and he can dance 😂😂😂
People sometimes overuse the phrase “He/she hasn’t aged a day,” but that man hasn’t aged a day since “The Fresh Prince.”
Neither has Will Smith
It's like everyone in the whole show aged well. Even Hillary
You are so right about that
Most people with dark skin don't look like they age because their age feautes are not that visible and also men age slower than women.
@@loveloveke8924 James Avery didn't age to well, unfortunately.
I just love watching this😊😊
How many Celebs they have on that literally created their own dance that is recognized worldwide?
In the year 2020, watching this makes me happier than anything else 😂
He stopped growing, Will confirmed it in the series remember? ;)
Same!!!!😂😂 gotta love it
True
Yes it does! Definitely a rewatchable video.
Me too!he did great
The Carlton dance move, if mastered and executed correctly, will and always will be the dominate dance move. ALWAYS
+No Future00 Carlton Banks aka Alfonso Ribeiro is the ULTIMATE DANCER ! There was never any doubt in my mind.
I spend my junior high and high school watching Cartlon on the Fresh Prince. I could always count on him or his dance to cheer me up.
Thank you Alfonso !
OH, how wonderful I was smiling the whole time, what a joy to watch!!!
It never gets old 🤷♀️❤️
i love how he just embraces his carlton dance after so long
Lindsay O let's be honest, he does this dance every night before bed
Even a professional dancer can't do the Carlton dance as well as Alfonso (although, wearing comfortable shoes would have helped her move her legs more smoothly). Keep going Alfonso, rock those beautiful hips of yours.
Hey he had a few decades of mastering it lol
indeed. she was weird doing it lol
+Daimonon In her defence, she's a great dancer. It's just an insanely difficult dance move.
its called rhythm. white people were not blessed with it
+Shakim Shabazz that made me laugh
I Just Love Alfonso❤ He was & is Always my Favorite ❤
Magnificent work of art.
