About

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air starring Will Smith originally aired on NBC from 1990-1996, and has existed in syndicated reruns for many years later.

On 4chan, a “Bel-Air” is a copypasta “bait and switch.” The OP generally begins by telling a compelling story, hoping to grab the reader’s attention. But as the story progresses, it soon becomes the lyrics to the show’s theme song.

Dramatica Excerpt:

And as the lady creeps away from the murderer she hears him say, “You’re movin’ with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air.” I whistled for a cab and when it came near The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare, but I thought, “Nah, forget it. Yo, holmes to Bel-Air!” I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 and I yelled to the cabbie, “Yo holmes smell ya later!” Looked at my kingdom I was finally there, to sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air.

It started with 4chan then YTMND then more websites, until you tell your holmes to Bel-Air!

@karnella: hear hear, I believe this is a separate meme. YT took several of these down, but they are still on YTMND:
Kill Will
Fresh Prince of 6 Flags
Fresh Prince of Wherever, Whenever
and so on and so forth.

I just laughed so hard when I was playing Pheonix Wright (The Wii version).

In the third mission there’s two referances to this.

Now, does this entry have anything to do with the Youtube poops where they mix the fresh prince opening with other songs? Or are you just focusing on the copy pasta and not the song in general?
