    The original black tv dad. Realest character to ever grace a tv screen.

    Roots
    Coming to America
    Good Times

    That scene where he slit that soldiers throat in Die Hard 2 was dope.

    Edit: And he hooked up with Wills mama before the wedding on Fresh Prince

    I'm McDowell's. They got the Golden Arches, mine is the Golden Arcs. They got the Big Mac, I got the Big Mick. We both got two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions, but their buns have sesame seeds.

    My favorite part of that is when his face lights up like he's got McDonald's by the balls "my buns have no seeds".
