There are many iconic sitcoms from the ‘90s, but none are quite like The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The series starred Will Smith as himself, who at the time was making quite a name for himself in the music industry. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air helped launch his film career, while also shaping Smith’s persona as a smooth-talking womanizer.
By the end of the series, Will had cut off his relationship with Lisa Wilkes, but in real life, Will Smith got married to Jada Pinkett only a year after The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air ended. Will was constantly flirting with women on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, which resulted in a ton of hilarious pick-up lines.
Updated January 23rd, 2021 by Kristen Palamara: The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air continues to be a relevant show even though it has been off the air for decades and the cast has reunited to discuss the show and its significance in 2020. Fans return and discover this show for its powerful messages and realistic storylines, but also for its ability to make its viewers laugh without weakening any of the more serious moments of the show. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air has a great balance between the serious deeper moments and moments of hilarity, mostly from its dialogue, and Will’s constant drive to try to “pick up” women with these lines are part of its charm.
“GIRL, I GOT TO TELL YOU. THAT SUIT LOOK LIKE A PIECE OF ‘GOOD GOD’ WRAPPED IN SOME ‘HAVE MERCY’ WITH A SIDE OF ‘MMM!’”
Somehow Will bundles up multiple pick-up lines in one sentence and it’s pretty over-the-top, but it’s also completely in character for Will to say a line like this.
Will doesn’t shy away from complimenting a woman on her looks and although women might not always respond to his strong pick-up lines and out of the context of the show they can be a bit cringy, they’re typically pretty charming when coming from Will.
“BABY, WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU SERVING, YOU BETTER GIVE ME A DOUBLE.”
This is a typical pick-up line, but as usual, Will delivers it with charm, ease, and self-confidence in the show.
Will wasn’t afraid to put himself out there and try to ask women out with cheesy pick-up lines like this one and most of the time it was harmless and sometimes even charming although if it was potentially embarrassing for both Will and whoever he was trying to pick-up.
“I GUESS I CAN KISS HEAVEN GOODBYE…BECAUSE IT’S GOTTA BE A SIN TO LOOK THAT GOOD.”
This line isn’t technically a pick-up line because Will says it about himself, but it’s in the same vein as a pick-up line and highlights Will’s unwavering self-confidence.
Will thinks he looks incredible and can’t help but say this line about how he looks so good that it must be a sin. It could easily be considered a pick-up line if Will said this to someone he was trying to pick-up, but it’s just as funny that he says it about himself.
“I’VE NEVER SAID THIS TO A GIRL BEFORE, BUT BABY, YOU ALL THAT AND A BAG OF CHIPS.”
Although Will didn’t come up with the phrase “all that and a bag of chips” it was common slang in the 1990s meaning that someone was great but emphasized a person’s greatness beyond just that word.
This is a pretty nice compliment from Will in comparison to a lot of his other pick-up lines because it doesn’t only focus on a woman’s appearance. Will chooses to compliment a woman on more than just their appearance by calling her all that and a bag of chips.
“YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY: BEHIND EVERY SUCCESSFUL MAN THERE’S A WOMAN. BUT IF YOU WANTED TO SWITCH POSITIONS I’M WITH THAT, TOO.”
Typically Will’s pick-up lines are surface level and compliment a woman on her looks while also showing that Will is more than interested in dating her, but this line takes it a step further in introducing a sexual innuendo within the pick-up line.
He begins with a well-known line about how they say behind every successful man is a woman, and then says that she could lead in front, but it also works as a sexual innuendo.
“EXCUSE ME, BUT I THINK I’VE SEEN YOUR PICTURE SOMEWHERE BEFORE. OH YEAH, THAT’S RIGHT. IT WAS IN THE DICTIONARY RIGHT NEXT TO…KABLAM!”
In the fourth season of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Will and Carlton go to college. Thankfully for Will, there are just as many beautiful women at ULA as there is at Bel-Air Academy. While Will eventually becomes romantically involved with Jackie Ames (Tyra Banks) he flirts with multiple women at his college.
In the episode “All Guts, No Glory” Will tries to drop a philosophy class, only to realize that the teacher is one of the best that he has ever had. Before he realizes this though, Will jokes around in class and even hits on a girl saying, “Excuse me, but I think I’ve seen your picture somewhere before. Oh yeah, that’s right. It was in the dictionary right next to… kablam!”
“HEY GIRL, YOU LOOK SO GOOD I’D MARRY YOUR BROTHER JUST TO GET IN YOUR FAMILY.”
In the episode “Ain’t No Business Like Show Business” in season 3, Will’s friend from Philadelphia named Keith comes to visit. Keith is an up and coming comedian, who is offended when Will says that being a stand-up comedian isn’t that hard.
Will accompanies Keith to an audition and sees a pretty girl, who he flirts with saying, “Hey girl, you look so good I’d marry your brother just to get in your family.” Will no doubt has a ton of hilarious pick-up lines, but this one probably wouldn’t go over well with any girl.
“I’D JUST LIKE TO APOLOGIZE, ON BEHALF OF MY GENDER.”
“Ain’t No Business Like Show Business” actually has two great pick-up lines back to back. When Keith is waiting to do his audition, Will asks him to do the chivalry joint, which basically consists of Keith acting like a jerk so Will can come in and save the day.
Keith starts obnoxiously hitting on a woman and soon after Will comes over and asks if Keith is bothering him. Will tells Keith to go away before he has to take off his belt, which “scares” Keith. Will then apologizes for Keith’s behavior saying, “Look, miss, I’d just like to apologize on behalf of my gender for his rude behavior.”
“GIRL IF GOD MADE ANYTHING PRETTIER THAN YOU I HOPE HE KEPT IT FOR HIMSELF.”
In the episode “Blood is Thicker Than Mud” in season 4, Will and Carlton hope to join the same fraternity. While Will is a shoo-in, the members of the fraternity think Carlton is a nerd and make him do chores with no intention of having him join.
During one of the parties at the frat house, Will sees a woman dancing and quickly goes up to her saying, “Girl if God made anything prettier than you I hope he kept it for himself.” The line didn’t go over well with the girl, but it was funny none the less.
“YO BABY, I KNOW YOUR FEET MUST BE TIRED ‘CAUSE YOU BEEN RUNNIN’ THROUGH MY MIND ALL DAY. COME HERE, GIRL!”
Despite Will becoming romantically involved with several women, he usually moved onto a new girl pretty fast. There is no better example than when Will tries sweet-talking a woman at Bel-Air Academy and after he pours his heart out, he sees another woman walk by and says, “Yo baby, I know your feet must be tired ‘cause you been runnin’ through my mind all day. Come here, girl!”
This pick-up line didn’t originate on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, but the way Smith delivers it makes it one of the funniest lines in the show.
“SOMEBODY CALL A COP, ‘CAUSE IT GOT TO BE ILLEGAL TO LOOK THAT GOOD.”
“Just Say Yo” is one of the most emotional, and best-rated, episodes of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. After Will becomes overwhelmed with school, work, basketball practice, and his job, he decides to get some speed from one of his friends, which Carlton mistakenly takes and gets sent to the hospital.
Before the drama comes, however, Will has a funny pick-up line when he first sees his date. His girlfriend walks into the mansion and Will makes a siren noise and then says, “Somebody call a cop, ‘cause it got to be illegal to look that good.”
“I NOTICED YOU NOTICING ME, SO I JUST WANTED TO PUT YOU ON NOTICE…THAT I NOTICED YOU TOO.”
Will Smith delivered dozens of pick-up lines during The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The lines would either sway a woman or cause a girl to roll her eyes and walk off. Occasionally, Will would encounter a girl that stood up to him.
Will starts off talking to a girl at Bel-Air Academy saying, “I noticed you noticing me, so I just wanted to put you on notice… that I noticed you too.” The girl tells him to talk to her like a normal human being and asks him “You got that?”. Will then says, “Actually, baby, you got it, but I’ll take donations.”
“IF I TOLD YOU YOU HAD A BEAUTIFUL BODY, WOULD YOU HOLD IT AGAINST ME?”
One pick-up line that didn’t really work for Will was “If I told you you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?”. In the episode “Will’s Misery”, Will goes on a date with Lisa to a cabin, only to find out that she is part of a group that thinks all men are disrespectful and vile.
Lisa and her friends then pull pranks on Will and leave him stranded in the cabin tied up. This is one time where Will’s pick-up line backfired, but in the end, he and Lisa end up having a long relationship.
“I’M HOPING YOU LIKE IT DARK, HOT, SWEET, WITH A SPOON IN IT.”
For a good portion of Will’s college career, he worked at the Peacock school store. Jackie would often get irritated with Will for slacking off to flirt with women, which was exactly the case when a student asked for two cappuccinos. Being attracted to the women, Will says, “I’m hoping you like it dark, hot, sweet, with a spoon in it”.
This line, like many others, didn’t go over well with the woman but is one of Will’s more clever lines of the show. Needless to say, it’s easy to see why Jackie always got irritated with Will.
“BABY, YOU LOOK SO GOOD I WISH I COULD PLANT YOU AND GROW A WHOLE FIELD OF Y’ALL.”
The third episode of season 1 has one of Will’s best pick-up lines. In the episode, Will is introduced to a girl named Mimi Mumford, with who he desperately wants a date. After seeing how strict her father is Will decides to act like Carlton to impress her, with Carlton and Uncle Phil showing him how to be a gentleman.
As it turns out, Carlton isn’t Mimi’s type and she actually wants a thug as a boyfriend. Will convinces her that his appearance was all an act to impress her father and then throws her the line, “Baby, you look so good I wish I could plant you and grow a whole field of y’all.”
