Not exactly Christopher Walken in Weapon of Choice.

Laura should have stayed with him. Hes got the moves.

As much as it pains us, Cee Lo Green loves his gimmicks. Whether it's singles with profane titles, his strange Liberace obsession, his ridiculous murder-mystery music video, or his role on The Voice, Green always seems to find ways to distract everyone from his actual music. Such is the case with Green's new "Cry Baby" video, which stars Jaleel White -- the actor who played Steve Urkel on Family Matters -- in the role of Cee Lo. That's right, Cee Lo's too busy these days to even appear in his own music videos.

We've seen this video a million times since West Side Story made it cool for a city dwellers to spontaneously burst into song: That Hall & Oates scene in (500) Days of Summer, the opening sequence of The Great Muppet Caper, every episode of Glee, etc. However, none of those starred Steve Urkel. White is the main draw here, and he does a decent job pretending to be a svelter version of Cee Lo. It could be his best acting role since he played Urkel's debonair alter ego Stefan Urquelle on the fifth season of Family Matters. Much to our disappointment though, White never breaks into the Urkel Dance.

I really wish people could talk about him without bringing up Steve fucking Urkel every damn time. Seriously, way to completely invalidate a guy's career by attaching him to only one role.

HE WAS SONIC THE HEDGEHOG'S VOICE FOR FUCKSAKES

Cee Lo Green is too short for that kind of video without making it look hilarious in a completely different way. Think a dancing-in-the-streets video with a tiny black dwarf front and center.
 
I don't normally criticize filmmaking (or videomaking) but holy shit the editing is fucking atrocious in that video. I had to shut it off after a minute. The cuts were just unbearable.

You of all people should be angriest spindashing! He's signed on to do Sonic's voice in a fan film that's coming out, but nobody talks about that.

I can do a better cartoony voice than him!

Haha, I was only kidding. I love Jaleel White both as Urkel and Sonic.
 
The video wasn't bad, but the lack of dancer placement/cue (and even orientation) continuity drove me mad since there were so many quick cuts.

One person would magically appear in another spot when the camera angle changed. And people would be facing different ways. Good lord.

The song is sweet though.

I'm so sorry Wrassle-GAF. You can send me back to re-redevelopment if you need.

Thank fucking God. I'm not the only one.

It physically hurt my eyes trying to keep up with all of the cuts and continuity errors.

I wish he could get more work but everyone remembers him as Urkel and makes it hard for him to get work like this.

Exactly. He's a textbook case of a good actor ruined by the thing that made him famous. Perhaps he doesn't try as hard as he could because he's afraid that he might become too popular as a certain type of character again.

I want a new season(s) of Family Matters but so many factors make it unlikely to happen

he could have a family sitcom if he is the "Dad"

His looks is still kinda young for being a Father though

Watching "Fake it til you make It" the jokes are all over the place and kinda dirty :P
 
Wow, he's looking good. Glad to see he didn't go all sleaze bag, loser or strung-out drug addict like a lot of other child stars or a certain other infamous sitcom geek.
