    There is no way that "Cobra Kai" was not inspired by this hilarious bit. Patton Oswalt, at the very least, got these people thinking about what these characters might be doing today. And, since Johnny Lawrence's life and character on Cobra Kai lives a crappy life, and mostly as a result of losing to Daniel Larusso, I would say that this bit definitely inspired this new TV show.

      Messiah Bardock Is that who that is? It's fucking weird.
      "You know who Johnny Lawrence is, right?"
      "Uh, yes. Vaguely."
      "The character?"
      "Yeah."
      "From the Karate Kid movies. The bully."
      "Yeah...Macchio..."
      Dude, just fucking say "No. I don't know who Johnny Lawrence is." It's ok to not know the bully's full name from a movie that came out 30 years ago. Pretending you know something you don't shows how crazily insecure you are.

    The true irony of this tale is that, according to my ex-wife, who was an extra in Just One of the Guys, Billy Zabka, who played the bully "Greg," was an extremely nice and down-to-earth person on the set, while Clayton Rohner, who played the geeky hero "Rick," was an arrogant d-bag.

    he should make an entire album like this where each track is a different obscure movie character. He could do chunk from goonies, Admiral akbar from starwars, marcus brody from indiana jones... pretty much any character thats imprinted into the american lexicon but obscure enough that he could make up huge parts of their backstory.

    The reference people are having trouble with is a little 80's gem called Just One of the Guys.

    Why does this feel like I'm watching an episode of The Goldbergs? Its May 15, 1980-something.....
