I think its intentional. They seem to be attempting to subvert the Miyagi-Do/Cobra Kai dynamics from the original movies. Johnny is rehabilitating and comes off as a nice caring dude. Daniel has everything he ever wanted and it feels like he is fucking with Johnny almost exclusively out of spite, even though in his mind he is perfectly Justified.

No kidding right? That’s a mantelplace shot if your wife is in it.

Do you want me to photoshop your wife drop kicking the fake wife?

Yeah it probably is pretty intentional, the writers are extremely self aware, it seems. But it doesn’t quite work for me for some reason. I just don’t like when they’re on screen.
Which episode? I’m about to start S2.
I can’t remember the last time I had this much fun watching a show as I am with Cobra Kai. Every episode leaves me hyped to see what happens next.

I think it’s S2 E2. It’s a scene where Daniel takes pics with customers.

I forgot 30 for 30 did a spoof covering the All Valley Tournament.
And man, the shots Ralph took at himself in this Funny or Die fake trailer from 2010 for a documentary about Macchio trying to restart his career 
At 2:48, he tries to hire a prostitute because he thinks he’ll get some free publicity if TMZ photographs her giving him a HJ. Her response is amazing.

Daniel’s wife has the potential for best character in the series.
Also, I got a big kick out of the fact that they essentially dumped their son after S1. He had like, 5 speaking lines the entirety of the second season

Holy shit is Maccio really nearly 60?

Aside from Swayze being dead, it’s like the entire cast of The Outsiders has been drinking the blood of virgins. Macchio is easily the most ageless, though.

Speaking of, I was talking to my daughter the other day about Ralph Macchio and she, too, couldn’t believe how old he was. Her English class read and watched The Outsiders last year and she remembered him from that. She started looking up what the actors look like now and, well, she’s definitely a teenager now because she swooned over Tom Cruise (though the pic might have been from like 20 years ago).
Then I had her Google “Tom Cruise Tropic Thunder.”

In the late 90’s I was on Spring Break in South Padre Island at some huge outdoor party venue with at least a couple thousand people.
I went to the restroom to piss and they had one of those troughs that like 20 people can use at a time. As I was zipping up, and spun away to go wash up, I saw the face of the dude next to me–it was Ralph Maccio. I drunkenly blurted out “Hey it’s the karate kid” loud enough for everyone in the restroom to hear. Which led to a bunch of drunk college dudes shouting versions of “I’ll kick your ass karate kid” or “you couldn’t crane kick me”. After I washed my hands he and I exited at the same time, and I was like “sorry about the bro”. He just shrugged and said “happens all the time”.

Were they also making fun of the Chuck Norris classic??? I secretly like Sidekicks more than Karate Kid…
I wish I could say yes! But no, it was just solely in reference to Mr Morita
Booooo would have been perfect. Still cool. Did you keep any footage of a performance? Watch party imo 
You guys have convinced me to watch The Boys after I get done with Cobra Kai.
