Nobody noticed a giant cart of clothes moving on its own, Prince. Nope. Not at all. falloff

I'm sure there was an easier way to do that, like, say, just slipping by with a couple people taller than you.

For some odd reason this wasn't funny to me, it was disappointing. It's never funny when rich, famous people are obnoxious to the 'help', Prince or not. Being 'difficult' isn't cute or cool, just because u can be, especially when one is claiming spirituality. Spirituality is not simply one's ability to write brilliant songs about God, or to wax poetic when cameras are rolling. It's being consistenly respectful to everyone, even when you're irritated and when nobody's watching. I've loved Prince for eons, but I never found the stories about his being cruel or 'difficult' to be funny.

We have so many accounts describing him as kind and respectful. This woman obviously could handle some attitude. I think he saw that. And I love that he was just human like the rest of us and did crazy shit like this.

Saw some footage of him with a group at a game somewhere, and when everyone got up to leave, he was the one who held out his hand for the older lady with them to help her up. He was a gentleman, and with that in mind I love the stories of how he sometimes wasn't. lol

I understand where you are coming from... However, to see or hear of the more "human" side of someone, makes them even more likeable imo. It's good to be reminded that even though we aspire to better ourselves, no one is or will ever be perfect after all (only God). I tis part of our fallible human nature and what forgiveness is all about. In this particular situation, Prince was on a mission. It sounds like he was kind of panicking that he might not achieve the desired goal of "surprising" everyone. He put that to the top of his priorities and got upset about anything that was getting in his way... Sounds like he was in panick mode as this was just before the show. Maybe he felt awkward and silly about what he was doing too.

Anyway, It's good to see the funny aspect of life too and to be able to laugh at certain situations, Prince had a sense of humour and knew how to laugh at himself and others, which is one big quality of his. We don't know for sure, but I bet he would have laughed at this... at least retrospectively, just like this lady is now. wink

I want to see an animated tv series of Prince episodes...


Prince and John Blackwell ordering food from Subway

Prince studying and stealing stage gimmicks from Rick James
Rick James stealing synthesizers from Prince

Recreation of Prince on stage with James Brown and MJ

Prince jamming with D'angelo and Questlove

Prince playing ping pong with MJ

Prince suddenly appearing, and suddenly disappearing in studio. Mobb Deep, Sheen Easton

Prince on date with Sheen Easton, not saying a word throughout the whole date, driving Sheena frustrated...


There's a million more other funny and fascinating stories that would be perfect for any movie or tv series

Do you think it was the title that caught you off guard? I thought it was pretty rude until it got pretty hilarious during the end. I think she was kind of making fun of him. I think maybe she uploaded this at the wrong time. I mean the title ''Prince is dead but I want to tell you why he fired me first.'' It rubbed the wrong way too. Its a interesting story all & all but I think Prince is the type of person that just wants to get the job done without any complaining. It sounds to me like she had a strong personality. I have a hairstylist like this & the story reminded me of when she cut my hair the wrong way & blamed it on me.

lol lol lol lol

That Gabrielle Union 'Tuna Salad' story & Prince needs to be animated too. She seemed super anxious. It was funny.

lol If only they could put a DVD together ( I wouldn't care how lengthy it would be) of bloopers, funny outtakes, and hilarious stories of Prince...goes off imagining the side eye, huffiness, and sarcastic remarks that probably were said by him as he was pushing himself on that cart! lol lol lol

I'm sure you've all seen THIS....but just in case. 35 minutes of fails and funnies:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gm7XVBGUknI

The New Year's Eve (1987) was hilarious. About FOUR fails in that scene...hilarious. I couldn't figure out if he forgot the words to Auld Lang Syne or was so PO'd about the balloons that he couldn't think straight.

Lok the fails video. If that's him at his angriest, I can't see how anyone took him seriously. Rather like a kitten snarling at a lion. I would have died laughing, like really? That it? Stop it.

As to the other vid, meh, it's not like she was discussing seeing him do something particularly heinous, just him being unnecessarily extra. And it was funny. Talking about Prince failing at life 101 isn't exactly defamation of character, it's just humanizing him. Everyone has these stories in their lives. I guess it does make it harder to romanticize him as this perfect paragon of behavior, though.

I know! He was sooooo cute. cool

Prince wasn't perfect, far from it like the rest of us, but he did something many could learn from - he kept working on becoming a better man.

Judith hinted at that somewhere. Something about a lot of drama, but always coming back. Others have said something similar. It seems he knew when he had been too much and if people mattered enough to him, he'd make it up.

It actually just makes me like him even better. I love passion when it's coupled with reflection. He couldn't have given us the music he did without that passion in him.
