Yup!! And for all y'all that don't know, this is waaaaay before Negan and the Walking Dead so don't gimme that shit! Uncle Phil been rollin with Lucille since way back then. LOL.
I like how he said it, it was way before his time yes dont be so modest you can still enjoy I am from that times born in the 80s and grew up in the 90s it was a different time from now for sure
I was born in 96, but the re runs were still running on Nicc at Night, so I used to watch it cuz Will Smith was entertaining in general, but my parents also raved about this show growing up. My favorite sitcom along with Martin. Funny, but it taught you so much. The character development is so unreal. Something a lot of these shows and even video games now a days lacc imo
"Always read the script before hand. And in a ninja movie, the ninja is always behind the bush the cameras are aiming at" -- 1980's wisdom Just messing, lol. I love Sun Tzu, very wise.
"If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight!" Sun Tzu said that and he knew a little more about fighting than you do. Because he invented it, and then he perfected it so that no man can best him in the ring of honor!
As this show progressed,we realize that Phil knew and understood the streets. He just tried to leave it behind. Will reminded him of where he came from. He was born in the country,but,grew up in the streets of Baltimore.
It's simple. The complete change in demeanor of his 'target' the fact he has named his cue and basically just conned him into a high stakes game. Oh god it's glorious.
@@Raganui Uncle Phil and Geoferry both knew what he was setting up and James Avery's layered acting of pretending to have never played pool in his life only to reveal he was acting the second the hustler agreed to a high stakes game and he even had his own custom cue Lucille his tone went from meek to confident "Geoferry break out Lucille"
Just gunna complicate the argument here about the naming conventions of the balls. Yes I agree the White ball is commonly called the Cue Ball, but over here in the UK the black ball is called the black ball when playing european black ball rules. Pretty much the same as solids and stripes, just easier to play after downing a few pints, its easier to tell the difference between yellow and red then solids and stripes when your vision is a bit blurry. Also by that time you probably are naming the cue ball Dave anyway.
Yes..this is the ORIGINAL Lucille. But when the zombie outbreak struck, somewhere down the line, Lucille got lost and was buried in rubble. A few years passed and a man acquired it. With a few modifications, it became the Lucille as you know today. True story.
When Uncle Phil says 'Break out Lucille!" even Geoffrey's like: "....Oh shit...." If no one's gonna say it, I will, Uncle Phil IS the ultimate FAMILY MAN!
Props to James Avery for this scene. He's literally playing a confident experienced man acting as a naive, timid, inexperienced man. It's like acting inception
@Poppy Kneegrow , this person is saying straight facts. Always be careful when making deals or bets, or even words! When you show that your easy to control, there will be people out there that will try, always.
He WAS kind of one, not an actual one, but like, basically living the same life as will in that series, but he became a better, proper man. So he has his street smarts and he knows how shit goes.
He knew what it was like to work his way to the top. He didnt get successful overnight afterall. Uncle Phil had wisdom, and thats what made him so badass.
tenzin tsenpey not exactly. Phil never gave him the money, he blasted him in the next game. So, technically Phil won $1300 on that last game, but the dude only had to pay out $900 of it due to the existing debt.
Always fear a person you are competing against who has named their tools. Not some edgy name, but just a normal name _such as_ Lucille. Once knew a guy who I would sometimes play FPS games with. Dude had a _named mouse._ What did he name it? Joey. Put him on some other mouse, he'd usually do pretty well... but if he pulled out Joey the entire lobby was about to experience new levels of pain. We held a damn _funeral_ for that thing when it died, it was the end of an era. He's still damn good at shooters and has gotten just as good on other mice as he was with Joey, but nothing can replace a legend.
But... Uncle Phil won on two accounts. Not only did his opponent scratch the ball but he also didn't call the pocket. He's also Uncle Phil, so he wins automatically.
As soon as uncle phil drops his hand on the table with “Lucille” , everybody in that room knows he didn’t came for a game, he came for destruction. THE REAL OG
Zero Man How about Uncle Phil vs. Danny Tanner? I don't know which was funnier, Uncle Phil's initial positioning in using the stick, or Danny's initial positioning of the stick by putting the stick over his foreman and using the butt-end of the stick.
This never gets old... Guile's theme is not only perfect for this scene but when you see Uncle Phil's confident walk, it just goes right with the theme itself.
Plot twist: 1:05 cue ball goes into the corner pocket, uncle Phil actually wins the game but decides he wants all the dudes money for messing with his boy.
@@RJ-rp8yd Will was the one who got himself in debt. Uncle Phil came to bail him out. But Uncle Phil knew how these guys at pool get down. They play like trash, and let you win on a small game. Then up the ante and take everything. Will begging Uncle Phil not to do the 100 dollar per ball game help sell to the hustler that Uncle Phil was a novice, when in reality that wasn't the case. A perfect example of "Hustling the Hustler".
2:10 I just found the best joke to make about this: Since the music and his victory started here, I guess you could say that *it was his cue.* I’m not sorry.
That's what makes this scene even better because he's teaching Will a lesson in that A) don't celebrate in front of people who could probably kill you B) Will got in trouble for being someone he's not and shouldn't celebrate after getting his uncle out of trouble and C) you should underestimate Uncle Phil.
@@Onlymelan8e Correct. I'm not sure why the other guy as got so many likes. I'm in the UK and I know US rules are different and not only that, US have different rules for different regions.
The messed up part is at 1:05, when he sinks the 8 ball, you can clearly see he scratches (sinks the cue ball, which is an automatic loss) The angle of that shot is a rookies nightmare because it’s almost a guaranteed scratch unless they hit it lightly or they know how to use english (spin). When the camera pans over to uncle Phil, the cue ball is gone. Confirmed: Uncle Phil won the first game. #JusticeForUnclePhil
See I believe Uncle Phil chose not to point that out, because this guy fucked with his kin. Settling the debt was not enough, the hustler needed to bleed for his transgression.
