the girl who dressed up as a geisha I believe wore makeup to make her eyes look asian, which is similar to black face. It wasnt about the dress. Hollywood use to do it all the time going all the way back to Charlie Chan, they stopped the practice in the 80's. Ironically, the Karate Kid and Pat Moritas performance had a lot to do with it. His character was racially discriminated against in the movie being called "slope" which is an extremely offensive term to Asian Americans (Unlike a show similar to Kung Fu , whose lead actor was caucasian with scotch tape on his eyes) . I believe it was the first time in a Big budget movie where Asian discrimination was dealt with in a real way towards, not only and actual Asian, but also an Asian who was interned with his family in an American Japanese Internment camp as a child , as opposed to all the WW2 and Korean War movies that would call asian soldiers "slopes" and "gooks" all the time and would never deal with the racism.
1) I like how the wife's purpose is to acknowledge how ridiculous the karate feud is 2) "Send it to the Internet!" has become my catchphrase for anytime my team completes a client's assignment
Dude that scene moved me to tears. I was NOT expecting to see that level acting for this show :O Turns out Zabka is an incredible actor who's been slept on for years...
My cousins are in their 40s and 50s, and many of them never used computers. They have smartphones but they also never used Social Media. The reason according to them is because “Computers are for nerds”. So, yes. These people exists. Bunch of dinosaurs. They’re not even boomers.
The pre-cobra kai story is basically that Johnny went and was in the Airforce after school and remained active duty for a number of years in the airforce, lived for a time in Colorado (where the airforce academy is and several Forts as well) which is where he got certified for construction and all that stuff - then moved back to the valley in the late 1990s - which is when his alcohol problem started and he knocked up Robbie's Mom and his life took a much worse turn after Robbie was born in 2002. So, it's pretty easily explained, his lack of modern knowledge of technology and all. IMHO.
Great reaction. And the conversation about how dumb cultural appropriation complaints are is worth a thousand likes I wish I could give on it's own. In this day and age you just have to appreciate when people are reasonable. Frankly this show doesn't seem to care who gets offended and that's just one more thing that makes it my favorite. So glad to have you guys seeing and enjoying it. Keep it up and keep being awesome people.
Eric- you ALWAYS need to practice- especially AFTER you’ve mastered something! What’s ironic is Johnny is a much better salesman than the guy who sells cars for a living.
I know it was sort of a joke but Kreese definitely isn’t Johnny’s dad because in the flashback episode last season Johnny’s mom was excited for him to start Karate at Cobra Kai
Aaron, the 80s movie you are referring to is Remo Williams The Adventure Begins and it's an amazing experience. The actor playing the Korean master was academy award winner Joel Grey, father of Jennifer Grey. Fisher Stevens played Ben in Short Circuit. IN 2015 comedian Aziz Ansari praised his performance while interviewing Stevens. Both actors agreed if the Short Circuit was remade then an Indian actor would play Ben.
I remember seeing the old live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on Fox Kids where Donatello used a smaller staff that had metal on the end. Maybe that was what Eric was thinking of.
10:03 The Sidekicks shout-out!~~~ Yes, that's immediately where my mind went, too^.^ When I was growing up, they were more likely to be showing Sidekicks or The Next Karate Kid, cause those were newer; so, those were the ones I saw more often. If I wanted to watch the original Karate Kid movies I had to rent them~
I honestly think there are flaws within cobra Kai and miyagi do. Cobra Kai has the philosophy of destroying your enemies. But what happens when you don’t have any enemies to defeat. Miyagi do is based on balance and defense but happens when you have nothing good going for you? I see to many factors that are flawed within each dojo.
Agreed. Cobra Kai is yang - bright and active Miyagi-Do is yin - dark and passive Both give their students different lessons and can help moderate the inherent natures of their students to find balance.
He wanted to pull people away from the dojo who had a teacher who literally almost killed a high schooled, faked his death twice, mocks the death of Miyagi, and is trying to turn people into killing machines, and another teacher who abandoned his child before he was even born and spray painted a dick on a billboard when he was out drunk one night. I'd say Daniel is kinda justified.
@@codestar5636 you can try to justify it all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that he started it. Did he really think they were just going to sit back and not do anything? And even if that all happened, Johnny relies on Kobra Kai to pay his bills. He wasn't just messing with his dojo, he was messing with Johnny's financial and personal life.
@@codestar5636 LaRusso doesn't know the whole story, he doesn't know that Johnny thinks Kreese wants a second chance. He's also assuming Johnny hasn't changed and will bow to Kreese's teachings. The adult thing to do is to talk it out and understand the other side. The Daniel LaRusso thing to do is start a karate gang war.
@@SwordTune bruh. My only problem with people critiquing Daniel is that they always hold him to a higher standard than Johnny. And I get it, Johnny's the main character and the emotional pillar of the show, and since you're watching the show, you know he's trying to do better. But Daniel, the antagonist, doesn't know any of that. He just knows that there's this douche that couldn't get over the fact that he lost, spray paints billboards, invites psychopathic child abusers into his dojo, lets his own son stay with an alcoholic mother that left him with no food and electricity, and lets him mock his teacher's death in front of him. Johnny has a negative score when it comes to judgement. If you want to believe he had it coming on the festival, fine. But he is in no way any more childish than Johnny is, nor does Johnny stand on some kind of moral highground as everyone pretends he does. And trying to put down a business that supports child abusers and lets them in as teachers for KIDS is probably not that farfetched, imo.
It may be different in certain factions. I took tai kwon do, and kicks to the head were allowed bit not kicks to the face, and punches to the head or face wasn't allowed.
I haven't seen the BTS for this show. Was the festival scene supposed to parallel the Revenge of the Nerds scene where the the nerds show up the Alphas with their tech show? They use so many other 80's references that it seems like it would make sense.
To be fair, I went through YEARS also thinking Fisher Stevens was Indian lmfao! I also though Joel Grey was actually Asian in the Remo Williams movie lol
I'm surprised no one recognised Paul Walter Hauser in this. He was the break out star of movies like I Tonya and da five blood and was the lead of the Clint Eastwood movie Richard Jewell
When it comes the karate kid movies also consider that Daniel shouldn’t have been able to beat Johnny who had trained for years and he trained in a couple of weeks And kreese and Johnny really look like father and son
Another example: Japanese people didn't care about Scarlett Johannson in Ghost in the Shell. Mickey Rooney is the awful, racist stereotype you're referencing, and no, Fisher Stevens in Short Circuit is most definitely not Indian.
@@evercano8924 The ice from at least KK2 is not the hardest since its super long for how wide it was. Concrete I think is much harder. The board I pointed out are trainer boards and used purposely for demonstrations. I guess it makes sense in this scenario but its also used in the show in Johnny's classes. Meh
Daniel has never done anything wrong (besides lying to Miyagi in Karate Kid III) and nobody can blame him for wanting to stop Cobra Kai. Who wouldn't want to stop that? I know Johnny isn't a completely bad person, and I appreciate that he's been trying to change, but Kreese is a complete scumbag, and the basic ideals/morals of Cobra Kai are damaging and corrupting. Nobody needs people to become bullies who judge people for being different, who think sensitivity and compassion is bad, and who get angry, aggressive, and hateful too easily, or for nothing at all. People who are violent like that aren't needed. Besides, who would want to join based on that ad? It completely goes against what karate is about, and even calls it "American". And then when they interrupt Miyagi-Do's demonstration, ruining the show and showing that they're selfish and think they're great, nobody should like that. I would be thinking they're assholes, not "oh, I want to be like them".
it was breakfast at tiffany's and micky rooney is who played the character. the movie came out in 1961 or 62 but like it just shows how messed up society was.
I wish people would start to get their sticks out their asses, it was another time and meant to be funny, which it probably was back then and hasn’t aged well because nowadays everybody seems to get offended over anything I really don’t see the big deal, but hey what do I know

Zabka should of won Emmy for this show.
that scene with Miguel at the Burger joint was A+ acting

Turns out Zabka is an incredible actor who's been slept on for years...
Yes!
johnny being out of touch with the modern day makes me laugh everytime.
I want a spin off series about it 😂😂

Is there a wiki or interview you found this on?
They have computers in both Colorado and the Airforce. This man acts like he never saw a calculator before
"I wonder what Johnny's plan is for that storage area."
"He's going to put that cement roller in there."
I love the way Rick's mind works.
Cobra kai is just flashier than miyagi do. Daniel probably shoudla saw this coming. And hawks sound effects are great
You root for the villain?

I feel like Miyagi would never try to run a dojo out of business by offering free karate lessons.
Miyagi wasn't petty like that. Apparently Daniel is.
@@quick2bud He got an entire property’s rent raised to make Johnny close Cobra Kai, he’s always been petty
Miyagi would give free karate lessons out of helping others, not from personal gain

The Valley Fest scene is basically every Hallmark Christmas movie ever.
"Don't be a pussy"
That's some solid life philosophy right there.
I’m pretty sure that Cobra Kai was being presented by Tom Cole’s dealership. That would explain how they were able to get a spot and set up so quickly
Eric- you ALWAYS need to practice- especially AFTER you’ve mastered something!
What’s ironic is Johnny is a much better salesman than the guy who sells cars for a living.
Oh my god, true!
The character they were talking about was played by Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's.
This was the comment I was looking for.
I love that you can tell what shows they have recoded by the colors behind them. It looks like they have been watching some one punch man
Cobra Kai logo is also red & yellow so could be anything hahaa
Can wait to see their reaction to Stingray and the Miyagi moment next episode
I know it was sort of a joke but Kreese definitely isn’t Johnny’s dad because in the flashback episode last season Johnny’s mom was excited for him to start Karate at Cobra Kai
Next episode: the debut of Tory!!!
The guy from Lowe's is a great addition to the cast!
BACK IN THE GAME LIKE IVE NEVER BEEN AWAY!
I live in California, near L.A. you would be shocked by what people can be unaware of even living in what you refer to as a central hub.
Ikr? Same here lol
I heard there a lot of dumb unaware people in LA
25:22 Yes I believe it was Breakfast at Tiffany’s where I think it was Mickey Roonie played an offensive and stereotypical “Asian” man.
it's kinda refreshing to see a show that's tongue in cheek about twitter and tumblr sensitivities.
hey just an fyi for you guys a “bo” is a japanese word for staff and so saying “bo staff” is basically saying “staff staff”
Who else has been waiting for season 3 since April 2019
Has it been that long? Damn

3:20 Yeah the music dropping off is hilarious!!
I love when they do that later for Stingray XD
Danuel using the staff is a reference to kk2 when Chozen asks him "Miyagi teach you to fight with stick?" I guess he did eventually.
It’s funny how I barely found out about this show and I watch all 3 karate kid movies on Netflix
I remember seeing the old live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on Fox Kids where Donatello used a smaller staff that had metal on the end. Maybe that was what Eric was thinking of.

Stingray played Richard Jewell.
He was also in BlackkKlansmen.
The real story is how Johnny completely avoided the internet for this long... That's like an untapped super power or something.
He thought computers were for nerds.
@@josephsloop8865
I can see that:
"Yanno, Johnny things would be easier if you just- "b'QUIET!!"
12:30 I think you are talking about a Kusarigama, a sickle with an attached weight on a chain.
I honestly think there are flaws within cobra Kai and miyagi do. Cobra Kai has the philosophy of destroying your enemies. But what happens when you don’t have any enemies to defeat. Miyagi do is based on balance and defense but happens when you have nothing good going for you?

Cobra Kai is yang - bright and active
Miyagi-Do is yin - dark and passive
Both give their students different lessons and can help moderate the inherent natures of their students to find balance.
3:20 Robby totally makes Miyagi-Do sound like a cult when he backs up Daniel
Am I the only one that thought it would be funnier if Johnnie would have said to put a pound sign in front of it, instead of hashbrown?
I mean Daniel had it coming he started this 🤷♂️
He wanted to pull people away from the dojo who had a teacher who literally almost killed a high schooled, faked his death twice, mocks the death of Miyagi, and is trying to turn people into killing machines, and another teacher who abandoned his child before he was even born and spray painted a dick on a billboard when he was out drunk one night.

2x10 ptsd flashbacks
kick to the head is legal in karate, only punch is illegal
Funny though... kicks can be much stronger than any punch.
Did they give a reason as to why they consider the original crane kick to be illegal then? Is there another rule I'm missing?
It may be different in certain factions. I took tai kwon do, and kicks to the head were allowed bit not kicks to the face, and punches to the head or face wasn't allowed.

Cobra Kai is Delta House and Daniel-san is Dean Wormer.

It would have been cool if in the audience Terry Silver was there just watching from the back smiling
Good old-fashioned American Karate. 😆
Mrs. Larussa is gorgeous.
LaRusso, and yes she is, she arguably is the most grown up character in the show and she still is funny
I wish they had Daniel about to break the ice with the same music used in the 2nd movie.
At the end, could Aaron be talking about Chiun from Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins?
I feel like we're missing John Cena and The Rock Johnson.
