LMAO

that is so got damn funny and exactly what my mother would have said had I asked for Alfonsos Breakin & Poppin

I know that feeling.

[@shadiomar4193]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@bunkerputt]

I'm 47 and I can still do the windmill thanks to this commercial. I grew up poor on the mean streets, so I couldn't afford this set, but I was able to borrow a VCR and record the commercial. I watched it 100 times at least until I learned the windmill.

[@ShaderockLouis]

LoL

[@7wolfman78]

That's awesome ! I remember learning how to pop lock and of course the Moonwalk 🎉

[@larrylollis5875]

He deserves a star on the walk of fame

[@ranxerox4126]

Alphonso Ribeiro is from the bronx NYC, the home of hip hop and break dancing. So of course it came natural to him.

[@traviscarter1023]

What no way let me look it up be right back.

[@shimmeringchimps3842]

I knew I heard a New York accent in there, lol

[@TikkiEXX]

This is the first time I noticed his accent. So used to him doing the Carlton voice almost wierd hearing the New York accent. Lol

[@ReyFierro]

When carlton could teach you how to dance for under $20. Priceless

[@victorjames7]

This guy’s a LEGEND

[@axelfoley1406]

Alfonso: Can you rap?? Rappers today: We mumble

I would pay $50 for this to be on my coffee table. Im calling the number and no one is answering.

Dang, he literally was on TV most of his life

[@laurenchristianna2092]

I think he was literally born into it. Light starting to be shed on these things.

[@KarlNova]

@xtrmst_01 hahaha he never said he was THE ONLY celeb that’s been on tv all his life. He never used the word ONLY! 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@erickchurch5390]

Everybody on here talking about Carlton from Fresh Prince, and I'm thinking about Alfonso Spears from Silver Spoons.

[@christopherminjares7429]

I'll always remember him in 1984 when he was being interviewed on the local news in New York about getting his big break on Silver Spoons. He was really excited and started singing the Billie Jean song. Haha

[@marvinjosephhenderson9553]

Yes he will always be from Silver Spoons for me too lol

[@laurenchristianna2092]

[@wkeeble1251]

He knew how to dance, even before his iconic role.

[@amaremcfly]

Would love to meet a person that learned how to windmill from this book 😂😂😂

[@jnadle1]

Ricky Schroder had to learn those moves for a 1984 episode when Alfonso was on Silver Spoons.

[@PhakeNam]

Loved that show when I was a kid

[@blastofo]

I remember an episode of silver spoons where everyone thought alfonso was MJ.

[@lildookie8783]

After purchasing this video back in the 80's, I quickly gained street credibility and went on to enjoy a successful career as a breakdancer! ! I will always be grateful to Alphonso Ribeiro for teaching me the art of B-Boy culture! Word!

[@jodysmith8048]

Most people don't know that Alfonso Rivero put out several albums and was supposed to be in New Edition but for unfair reasons he wasn't put in the group then he went on to be in Silver Spoons then on to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

[@beachboi6196]

How he not from Boston

[@hulioortiz6988]

I mean this is the most 80's thing ever. Ain't it. They said shipping and handling omgoodness 😂.

[@sedmark6328]

You know he was the “least threatening” kid they could find on 1984 for this. Sad and yet hilarious

[@TheRealD-Unit]

I remember watching this with my dad as a kid in Virginia, I think my dad actually wanted to order it, ha ha

[@trinidadmetroid]

Alfonso is SOOOOO TALENTED...he should be in more movie roles...

[@Attmay]

He should go back to theater since that's where he started in THE TAP DANCE KID before he was cast on SILVER SPOONS.

[@philthy2234]

Huh?? Lol

[@lifepaththirteen2776]

He killed it on the movie "Ticks" 😂

[@Hassanhadi2607]

He said in an interview that No one would cast him after the show because they just can’t see him playing anyone other than Carlton because he played him so good. Quite sad man imagine playing a part so well that people tell you you can’t play anyone else. They’re really missing out on a very talented man where if they gave him a chance they would’ve loved him

[@mocservices7526]

Wow this is so awesome I don't remember this commercial... If anybody has this full set I will pay 500 bucks for it... seriously

[@michaelterry1000]

Damn, $19.99?? That's actually a smokin' deal

[@christansdad]

If you convert that $19.99 + $3.00 shipping and handling in 1985 to 2019 dollars it is roughly $100.00.

Guess you missed the safety warning towards the end. You could legit get hurt trying to breakdance. I'd say rapping is more dangerous nowadays. Lmao

His parents are West Indian. They teach British English typically so kids of these families speak and pronunciate very well

This commercial was a year too late. In NYC 1984 was the peak of breakdancing and popping. 1985 the breakdancing craze was dying down in NYC. By 86 is was completely dead

Maeby in the usa. I bought this product living in Sweden back in 1986. Breakdance hade just started here.

[@bxdale83]

@@charrua59 Yeah it was popular in other countries as hip hop and breakdancing was introduced to them around 1983 but NY was the epicenter hip hop at the time and it was completely played out in NY in 86 while it was still popular in other cities in the US

[@btk03z19]

Then you must not have had a tv.. J/k........ in the 70/80's everything was free to air transmission on major networks in all major/minor markets... so If the commercial was played on NBC, CBS and/or ABC in Upstate New York then it was played/broadcast on every TV in every area of NY (including the 5 Boroughs)... however, I remember seeing this commercial as a kid only 2 or 3 times at most.. it was played very sparsely so not many people saw it.. lmao
