My mom was.

These women are gone. Even though this is a tv show it still represents a bygone era of femininity.

@@jacobTheeCreole lol... now that’s a real woman right there😂!

I had two maternal grand aunts who were foster mothers, in addition to being moms to their own children,so they were mothers to the community in that sense. ☺️🌹

Yes that’s when dads were in the home too

Erika McQueen AGREE

Best aunt viv.

yeah , too bad the actress is a bitch and completely different person

She was the better actress and had better chemistry with the cast. However, she wasn’t the easiest to get along with when the cameras weren’t rolling.

The -real- ugly Aunt Viv

@@swizzle5783 I know right. Straight confusion

yeah shit was about to down.

"Vivian put your earrings back on! " 😆😆😆

@@LUVLEXIT and scene with 0G aunt Viv about to go off were the best ones

When a black woman takes off their jewelry outside. Pray for you and your familly soul. Because things are getting real.

I believe she said something like "we about to get real busy" not exactly sure it was a long time ago

And sit down! LOL!

LaShea69 and be humble!

Lmao! Yaasssss!

If she was in Friday the movie would've ended in 2 min

two minutes who you kidding it wouldn't go 2 seconds lmao

I been trying to tell people this for years now

@Giant Face Bork Laser A different generation with a different mindset not Disneyland just a respect for boundaries. I’m not saying no one ever crossed the line but if you did there was a price to pay for disrespecting the neighborhood moms.

Yep! Yes they did! And they called you out if you were doing wrong or up to no good.

Facts Bro lmao

Speaking of Friday, I think Anna Maria Horsford would have been a good second Aunt Viv. I know the cast likes the actress for Viv 2, but Anna Maria Horsford would have been great I think.

@@somarriba333 i can see that. But I think she was still on the Wayans Bros at that time

I forgot she was on that show. I recently re-watched Amen, and James Avery was on a couple of episodes as a reverend.

This is one of the best comments I've seen 😂

Word!

That mother who caught her son at the Baltimore Riots.

+Chris Rembert Only difference is Aunt Viv never went to Mondawmin.

A-frickin-men!

That's called ingrained respect 😮😮😮

AtenRa 😂😂😂😂😂

It would become Vivian Banks Park by sunup

@@SantomPh The gangsters would've been like "let's head to college, to get away from her."

@@nathanseper8738 that wouldn't work. She was a college professor😂😂😂💪🏿

"Yes, ma'am."

I screamed!!!!!!!

they ordered a pizza and watched the game. lol

😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂

😂😂😂

He did become President

She set him straight. Weren't for her, he wouldn't have been President.

CountryMetal01 Right! On the Fifth Element. lol

You wouldn't have seen the new Vivian do that.

Zach Haywood couldn't

pamjam098 OG Aunt Vivian was the best and funniest. Shame she had to diva her way into the show. Didn't she notice she was starring in THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL AIR, and not the THE SASSY AUNT OF BEL AIR? But at least GTA5's Aunt Denise , yo! Second Aunt Vivian was... Well, let's not talk about how lame and unfunny that actress was. Oops, I just did.

Plus she was really talented, could sing like Tina Turner

Big_L n dance too

She didn't silence them either

Yeah.

trier4952 yeah Viv no.2 just didn't do shit.

+trier4952 well by the time Viv 2 got on the scene the kids were alot older so she had to be calmer, she couldnt discipline more or less young adults..... ......however you are on to something with that because the episode with Pam Grier when she was supposed to be Uncle Phil's old longtime buddy but slept with Will, Aunt Viv 1.....would have been LIT.

D Viv 1 just made a grown man sit down. If she can do that to him, she most certainly can with her kids at any age. Viv 1 was a boss. LOL

Pie​ im not speaking real life, im speaking in terms of the character and on the show. It would have been interesting to see how aunt viv 1 would have handled all of the kids in their 20s and ashley as a older teen.

D I didn't mention real life. Just saying that even if the kids were older, Viv 1 would've straighten them out regardless.

Although this Aunt Viv was apparently crazy in real life, she was light years better than the second one.

***** Pretty difficult to reshoot the show when one of the actors is dead.

You realize the guy who sat down could killer her in 7 seconds if he wanted to lol??? I don't get why he's scared.

@@socialjusticelogic6290 short bus shorty here...

@@socialjusticelogic6290 lol you would hit her right? Shows the kinda person you are

That part💯

Very well said

Never forget where you came from

✊✊✊✊✊✊💯💯💯💯

Yes Ma'am

At least they finally buried the hatchet.

Yeah, she thought she deserved more attention and money than Will Smith. So much ego.

57. 20 arrived late.😆

Now it's 68. 11 more arrived late.

100 made Aunt Viv take off her earrings.

Jay Lee lmao

I don’t mean to fuck up your joke but this episode ironically starts on a Friday evening.

Yeah we know now that somebody isn’t afraid of Debo and that was Aunt Viv as he was scared after he “Yes Ma’am her”

Deebo "Ye-yeah what minute?"

lamont hill The *ONLY* aunt Viv to me.

True dat the only

15 people died go to McArthur Park that night.

Rashawn Antoinio The other one was a joke.

Not to be rude, but yrah.

I imagine they didn’t want to kill off or divorce the character, so they just gave it an actress they liked to just exist while Uncle Phill stoke the show

DemomanX614 yep. I hated new Vivian from seasons 4-6 / original Viv was the best

Debo could kill her if he wanted to lol

Oh please, you know Original Aunt Viv would've been the one standing over Debo saying "YOU GOT KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT!"

This isn't Debo. Debo was a much nastier character than this.

She could put the war hawks in their places, too. 😉😏

Lol, I asked the exact same question as you but I fully agree with you.

pamjam098 hahaha great minds think a lot. But yep couldn't tell her nothing. She was honestly the best.

too bad she crazy

Easy tiger, it's just a TV show

IronAngel505 Yeah there was, but for whatever reason the full clip is not on youtube, they don't even have the episode on here.

+IronAngel505 AMEN!! The level of her greatness that she had was DECORATIVE!! She was the best. You'd be blessed to have her as your mother. Especially in the 90s.

pineapple_coconut3768 hi It's 4 years since your comment . Are you still alive ?

LOL😀😀 😀😀

😂😂😂😂

If my aunt told me don't test her I'm running away, one thing I won't do is piss off my aunt or mom.
