It’s been years since Alfonso Ribeiro, better known as Carlton has been able to do his signature dance moves on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air alongside Will Smith. That hasn’t stopped him from wanting to do “The Carlton” all over again. According to TMZ, the actor attempted to create the largest North American Flash Mob in Los Angeles last week while dancing to “It’s Not Unusual,” “Apache” (Jump On It) and “Sexy and I know it.”

It started with one … just a lonesome Alfonso Ribeiro doing the “Carlton Dance” in L.A. … when suddenly, hundreds of people rushed in and joined in on the Tom Jonesness … and it was AWESOME.

It all went down at the Universal Studios City Walk in Hollywood — where the former “Fresh Prince of Bel Air” star was leading a group that tried to break the record for the most people in North America flash mobbing at the same time. Similar groups performed at the exact same time all over the country.
