Line 38:
* [[Tear Jerker]]: There are a few peppered in the series, but none of them comes close to the episode "Papa's Got a Brand New Excuse", where Will's natural father comes to Bel-Air to see him {{spoiler|...and leaves him ''again''}}. The last five minutes will have you bawling your eyes out pretty much without warning; when the credits roll and the camera zooms in on the gift Will bought for his dad—a statue of a father and child—you can hear a pin drop.

** [[Fridge Logic]]: ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20100716170136/http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1938541 Why would they have a comedian warm us up for that?!]''
* [[Tom Hanks Syndrome]]: Will Smith ran into a career block when trying to keep up the hip, street-savvy black guy he started portraying with this show. Ironically, no one remembered him as "The Fresh Prince" after ''[[Independence Day]]''; see the following entry.
* [[Weird Al Effect]]: Will Smith manages to do this ''to himself''; the name "Fresh Prince" originally served as his stage name as part of DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, but any and all uses of the term as a nickname for him evaporated after ''[[Independence Day]]'' and his transition as a solo rap artist in the mid-1990s. Nowadays "Fresh Prince" is universally shorthand for the series, to the point that younger viewers are unaware that it ever meant anything else.
