there was an interview on here that they became very good friends during the filming of 1 and stayed close afterwards -- good for them - that is why the show works
These 2 are something else man. They genuinely seem just so humble and down to earth. I sense no ego from them at all. You can tell they are just happy to be back in the world of Karate Kid and are having fun.
Billy's children call Ralph "Uncle Ralph." That is so bloody sweet. I think that's one of the reasons the show is so good: the actors genuinely like each other in real life, and that mutual admiration and friendship brings their level of performance that much higher. On that note, "Take A Right" was my favorite episode in Season Two.
I'm a huge fan of The Karate Kid. About 7 years ago I was at a take out chicken spot in Los Angeles, with a buddy. There weren't many people there, except in line with us was Ralph Macchio. I decided to speak to him and tell hime I was a big fan. He politely said "thank you." My friend and I then got our food and sat down at one of the few tables in the place. A minute or two later, Daniel-san sat down next to us. We all started chatting about playoff hockey, him being from New York, and him being a fan of the NJ Devils...just regular guy stuff. He told us he was on his way to a party but wasn't sure about the food situation, so he decided to stop in for a bite to eat before hand. It was just chatting with a normal dude. The point of all of this is to say that, sometimes you get a chance to meet a public person and they are really cool. Ralph Macchio was that type of guy; down to earth and friendly. One of the coolest experiences for a me as big fan of The Karate Kid.
His character is bar none the most interesting on the show. Whenever he’s on screen, the show elevates. Ralph is a bit more predictable and boring in the show, as a rich guy would be in real life. But I really enjoy watching the slow burn of his redemption and the sincerity of his character in this show.
Just because they haven't done much in Hollywood, it doesn't mean they are not successful in life. I'd rather be successful in other endeavours other than Hollywood.
such humble and genuine actors! ralph has been a role model of mine for awhile now and I really love how kind and down to earth he is 💞 william and ralph did an amazing job this season, as well as the last!
It was pretty clear that neither Daniel nor Johnny really wanted to fight, but that 35-year-old itch simply was not going to go away until it was absolutely fully scratched. And one representative of each dojo landed in the hospital for it.
2:42 is why Amanda might be the best character on the show. Not only is she a megalomilf, but I love how matter of fact she is about everything. Like she doesn't understand why everyone is so passionate beyond any reason about a small time karate feud from 30 years ago. She's amazingly well written and portrayed.
@@vivi-uz7qq A year and a half ago they were at a convention. Their tables were right next to each other. I just went up to them just to say hi and complement how good they still looked. I also expressed my envy that they grew up during the 80s. And as I said both of them were extremely nice.
I love them especially William Zabka! I'm 50 now and I am so glad I was a teenager at that time karate kid came out. I can remember going to the movies and watching it. Such a great series Cobra Kai! I binge watch it all the time.
If you start with episode 1 of any season of Cobra Kai, you wouldn't stop until you binge watch the whole thing in 1 go. The episodes are small and so amazing! Cobra guy was the best show of 2018 and season 2 is equally great! Glad to see these talented men shine!
Im just smiling the whole time watching these 2 guys. I cant take away my eyes off to ralph, still admiring him up to this moment since more than 30 years ago 🤗😊😘
I'm so happy that the story of the Karate Kid lives on!! I started watching Season 1 recently and ❤ it! Kudos to the writers, UA-cam for pushing to get it and of course William Zabka & Ralph Macchio doing a great job of becoming Johnny & Daniel once again. I ❤ Cobra Kai!
I loved that guy in Season 1 who works at Home Depot and kept saying the 80’s was the best era. It really was and Cobra Kai really evokes so many memories with all the flashbacks. Love this show and can’t wait to see more.
These guys are a part of my childhood. Really great to watch their careers get revitalised. And all the supporting guest stars that appear on the show, WOW!
I grew up watching the movies.. As a girl, I can't help but love the 2nd movie.. But when Cobra Kai s01 came out last year, it was such a great thing to be able to share a piece of my childhood with my own kids.. And it's the first time the kids are seeing something I grew up with but with a new spin on it, they loved it! And there's something so amazing about the focus on Johnny as a person in the real world. Who he became, how his past mistakes and trauma that he went thru molded him into the man he is... But to see that he has an incredible inner strength to come full circle all on his own, without the valuable mentorship and fond memories that Daniel has of Mr Miyagi, it's truly inspiring. And I hope that the guys of my generation see that inner strength in themselves. We need a win. "inner peace" "self actualization" and ultimately hope for a better future. I wish this show finds a brighter season 3, because Johnny needs a win.
It really sucks in the show that Johnny just can't seem to catch a break... I think that the characters of Johnny and Daniel could have actually been really good friends if there wasn't that horrible rivalry
Yeah, I just started season 3, and I keep hoping they will finally actually develop a friendship.Just when it seems like they will, the kids do something stupid to mess it up!
My 15 yr old and I binge season 2 last night. It was good , we just could not stop watching each episode. Now I have to show him the original karate kid movie to complete everything. He really enjoyed both seasons.
Fantastic show and great cliffhanger for Season 3. Cobra Kai is the real deal and definitely a banger television series. Season 2 is just as great as season 1.
Wow, was just in Times Square last Friday, saw the Sephora and Good Morning America building. I met William Zabka last summer but would've been cool to see Ralph!
I mean if you saw the end of cobra kai season 2..... SPOILERS She sent a friend request to johnny, and it was mentioned she is some sort of doctor and this could possibly lead to johnny asking her for help in Miguels case....
@@Rk-kv8mr I havent got to sit and watch yet... thats cool I hope she does come on that would be awesome... I wouldnt mind if dutch or some of the other guys from the movie made cameos either! Its too bad Pat has passed would have loved to see him in this as well!
Yeh I hope she does too BUT he did Chuck his phone so maybe he won't even get the message! Never thought of it til my son pointed it out but I doubt they'd tease us that bad since we've all been begging for her in this series!!
There are many timeless classic movies in the world but I have to say this is the movie I watched number 1 so many times that I know word for word... Gosh 84 I was so young and to this day I always wanted to marry him childhood fantasies... This movie never gets old
Cobra Kai creators should make a Miyagi Prequel series of his upbringing in Okinawa, his friendship a fallout with Sato, his time in the war and the tragedy of his wife
It was pretty entertaining for those who grew up in the 80s with the Karate Kid movies.... William Zabka was excellent in this series, it was funny, nostalgic and moving...made me cry regularly!
Love Cobra Kai, its such a great show. William Zabka does an outstanding job. I love the episode where he pins his point of view on Daniel and how he thinks he is the bad guy. Really good writing. Perception is everything
I love it. William's kids call Ralph Uncle Ralph. They all friends. So so cool
there was an interview on here that they became very good friends during the filming of 1 and stayed close afterwards -- good for them - that is why the show works
@@sall4090roughcuts They became close after Karate kid 1 or cobra kai 1? Also have you noticed they wear the same shoes in many interviews? lol
Of course they are all freinds, they are ACTORS
Endless love these shows have wardrobes. They don’t dress themselves
K Jeezy but here they're not on the show they're doing interviews
These 2 are something else man. They genuinely seem just so humble and down to earth. I sense no ego from them at all. You can tell they are just happy to be back in the world of Karate Kid and are having fun.
@Kory Frederick pop in and say hello, sure he'd appreciate it. Sounds like a good guy.
I took some research about them last time and they're rlly unproblematic, no issues at all 🥰
Ralph ismt u can tell he has an ego
Billy's children call Ralph "Uncle Ralph." That is so bloody sweet. I think that's one of the reasons the show is so good: the actors genuinely like each other in real life, and that mutual admiration and friendship brings their level of performance that much higher. On that note, "Take A Right" was my favorite episode in Season Two.
'Take A Right' snatched my heart outta my chest. ;-; It was a brutal yet beautiful episode.

Awesome memory to have and thank you for sharing with us.
that’s really cool i’m happy for you
That’s an awesome story man, I hope one day I get to meet the cast of cobra Kai, hopefully Billy or Ralph
They never aged out of the 80's!
"Thats his head shot when he was 40" 😂😂😂😂😂 best caption ever!!!
I nearly died when he said that, it was hilarious. I love Billy so much 😂😂
William Zabka rules, the best of Cobra Kai, give him an Emmy !!! Great actor and person
Agreed. His character is the best.
He definitely deserves an Emmy for resurrecting his rule again.
After season 1 and hearing the story of the Karate Kid from his point of view I became Team Johnny lol
His character is bar none the most interesting on the show. Whenever he’s on screen, the show elevates. Ralph is a bit more predictable and boring in the show, as a rich guy would be in real life. But I really enjoy watching the slow burn of his redemption and the sincerity of his character in this show.
He's hot too!
Not trying to be funny, but let's be honest, Ralph and William haven't had this much steam in years. Proof that legends are never forgotten.
Just because they haven't done much in Hollywood, it doesn't mean they are not successful in life. I'd rather be successful in other endeavours other than Hollywood.
"I was reading the article on YOU!" Good to know Ralph is like all the rest of us and captivated by Billy's physical charms. Can't blame the man.
I hope to see more of Zabka in future projects! GIVE THIS MAN AN EMMY. His performance as Johnny is out of this world!
FACTS!!!
QUIET!!!!!
It’s true - Zabka’s portrayal of Johnny in KK1 is in many ways the glue that binds all the other wonderful characters and performances together.
The 'little" stuff in the show is great. When Zabka fantasize about his neighbor is hilarious.
Omg that scene looked just like one from an Adam Sandler movie 😂😂😂
That was a video clip from the 80’s. It was so fun!!
Watched the whole thing last night in 6 hours... OH... MY... .GOD.... IT WAS GREAT
Yay!!!
You just gotta love those two!
How can You not?
I’m loving the Cobra Kai Series!
It’s like they picked off where they left 35 years ago!
Can't wait for season 3. This show is one of the best!
I love the chemistry between them. I love the show, can't wait for season 3.
I almost cry when Ralph said that he get the car, I really love when actors love their movies.
He has the trophy, the Gi and the headband. He also has the denim jacket and the converse shoes from the outsiders.
@@minyrar7107 Wow that is fantastic, he has great treasures.
These two guys make u want to be their in best friends!! So awesome
such humble and genuine actors! ralph has been a role model of mine for awhile now and I really love how kind and down to earth he is 💞 william and ralph did an amazing job this season, as well as the last!
Will Macchio ever age? Maybe mercy doesnt exist in Cobra Kai dojo but aging doesnt exist in the Miyagi Do dojo
Maybe he's related to Keanu Reeves 😀
He found the Fountain of Youth and refuses to reveal it's location 😁
will zabka looks pretty young also
Make up... Much?
@@KMary-lj2ms are you kidding me? the guy is like 4 years older than Reeves and looks like 40
It was pretty clear that neither Daniel nor Johnny really wanted to fight, but that 35-year-old itch simply was not going to go away until it was absolutely fully scratched.
And one representative of each dojo landed in the hospital for it.
I love that they have such great banter with one another true friends.
These two are so wholesome, I'm so happy their show is doing great they very well deserve it.
2:42 is why Amanda might be the best character on the show. Not only is she a megalomilf, but I love how matter of fact she is about everything. Like she doesn't understand why everyone is so passionate beyond any reason about a small time karate feud from 30 years ago. She's amazingly well written and portrayed.
Lmao "megalomilf".
Excellent points, probably the most down to earth, call it like it is, reality check for Johnny and Daniel.
My jaw dropped when I found out that William is 55 and Ralph 59.. they looked so young
Uncle Ralph aww that's cute
I just finished binge watching Cobra Kai! The ending got me crying!
me too! miguel deserved better aaw
Think I've seen your comments on every Cobra Kai video.. LOL!
Grim Reaper ahaha Yep! Every episode I watch I have to comment!
Dark Coven for real?! Omg I NEED SEASON 3 NOW!
Me 2...I love Miguels character.
William Zabka owns this series, he is fantastic.
Aww the fact Billy's kids call Ralph "Uncle Ralph" makes me so happy
I had such a huge crush on Ralph Macchio when I was a little girl!
I still have
Count me in 🤗🙂👍
I’ve got a crush on them both. They are both great looking especially for guys in their 50s 😍😂
I met both of them and they are just wonderful people
How did you meet them?
@@vivi-uz7qq A year and a half ago they were at a convention. Their tables were right next to each other. I just went up to them just to say hi and complement how good they still looked. I also expressed my envy that they grew up during the 80s. And as I said both of them were extremely nice.

Judy Trujillo why you like Will more? You find him hotter?
Judy Trujillo
Its still Ralph for me
Ralph is still hot!!
Just finished the second season. The ending shook me to my core. Wow
The last episode was such a great finale, so much action. The wait for season 3 is gonna kill me tho😭
Javier Prado its killing us all
@@XP9724 it’s been a year now and it’s coming out in a couple of days lmao
@@nbkvelocity1327 apparently it starts Jan 1 on Netflix and then UA-cam a week later
@@XP9724 Now the wait for season 4 is gonna kill me especially with covid😩
William Zabka is super impressive in this series. Seriously!!!
Love ❤️ That Movie 🍿!!
Almost 40 Years
Still Going
💪!!!
William and Ralph are luminous !!!
If you start with episode 1 of any season of Cobra Kai, you wouldn't stop until you binge watch the whole thing in 1 go. The episodes are small and so amazing! Cobra guy was the best show of 2018 and season 2 is equally great! Glad to see these talented men shine!
To end the season playing Cruel Summer was appropriate! It's gonna be a long wait till next season!
So good to see Ralph and William getting along. William’s kids call Ralph Uncle Ralph. How sweet!😊
2 long time actors doing some of their best work in the new You Tube show.Daniel and Johnny are the whole show.
Best series ever...I keep watching it..can't wait for season 3!!!!!!
Im just smiling the whole time watching these 2 guys. I cant take away my eyes off to ralph, still admiring him up to this moment since more than 30 years ago 🤗😊😘

I just love them!!! 🌷
Great actors!
These guys seem to be so much down to earth. Awesome!
Guys you 2 are the greatest.
Love to see this guys together.
Ralph & william 😘😘😘
Cobra Kai is one of the BEST shows I have ever seen. These two guys are awesome! Hopefully they make more than 7 or 8 seasons of Cobra Kai!
2 legends right there!
🤜🤛
I love these two.
I loved that guy in Season 1 who works at Home Depot and kept saying the 80’s was the best era. It really was and Cobra Kai really evokes so many memories with all the flashbacks. Love this show and can’t wait to see more.
I love William Zabka and Ralph Macchio!!! XOXO
Respect these actors!
Season 2 was deep great writing
I thought the writing was really poor. The first half of the season sucked.
William Zabka is great in this. Hopefully he does more and we see him in more movies.
Seems like a real good guy too. : )
These guys are a part of my childhood. Really great to watch their careers get revitalised. And all the supporting guest stars that appear on the show, WOW!
Love this guy ! what a great actor no matter what you thought about his character 35 years back remember he is ACTOR and a solid one
Love these guys❤❤❤

Should have showed him the movie first!
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!
Netflix get smart man, pick this show for unlimited seasons!!
I love Ralph macchio
Fantastic show and great cliffhanger for Season 3. Cobra Kai is the real deal and definitely a banger television series. Season 2 is just as great as season 1.
So super COOL this is, watched second season episode 1 last night.. awesome!
Im in love with Ralph Macchio.
Wow, was just in Times Square last Friday, saw the Sephora and Good Morning America building. I met William Zabka last summer but would've been cool to see Ralph!
Two legends👍
What can I say, its great to see my childhood movie actors together. Especially those who were ENEMIES.
Is great that these 2 guys get on well and are friends. That is often not the case between acting co-stars, but these 2 seem cool with each other.
I hope Elisabeth Shue Makes a cameo at some point
I mean if you saw the end of cobra kai season 2.....
SPOILERS
She sent a friend request to johnny, and it was mentioned she is some sort of doctor and this could possibly lead to johnny asking her for help in Miguels case....

Her character Ali is married to someone with the name Schwarber. Tory's last name on the show is also Schwarber. What does that say?
Season 3 she will be in it saving lives
I watched dis movie wen I was hardly a teenager it gives me goosebumps to see them again....
Absolutely love this show
They Both look great 😉😉😉
Have really enjoyed season 1 & 2. Can't wait for season 3!! 👍
Congratulatons Ralph machio
There are many timeless classic movies in the world but I have to say this is the movie I watched number 1 so many times that I know word for word... Gosh 84 I was so young and to this day I always wanted to marry him childhood fantasies... This movie never gets old
Bad ass show..i love it..hope they got hundred seasons more..
80s never die, and this new series prove it, so nostalgic and refreshing at the same time
Focus, Daniel san.
Love this show!
I love Cobra Kai...these are the Original Set Cast....of Karate Kid...!!
Great Show !!
Both actors look great, but Mr Miyagi must have given Ralph a special magic potion, to stay so young.
Cobra Kai creators should make a Miyagi Prequel series of his upbringing in Okinawa, his friendship a fallout with Sato, his time in the war and the tragedy of his wife
Word! l would totally see that.
But they already told that story in Karate Kid 2
Awesome idea!!
That’s coming in Season 3.
The Karate Kid was always one of my favorite movies! I am so happy they did Cobra Kai! Already wanting season 3 lol.
Love cobra kai
I love this show!!!!
best show and films ever
It was pretty entertaining for those who grew up in the 80s with the Karate Kid movies.... William Zabka was excellent in this series, it was funny, nostalgic and moving...made me cry regularly!
Those 2 will forever be goated
I love the show and I love that Ralph and Billy are friends irl!
I love this show it takes ms back to the 80s
Ralph Macchio is a "Dunadai", he just does not get old
I just watched all 3 kk movies and WOW they are awesome!
That show leaves network tv in the dust.
I've seen the first 2 seasons of Cobra Kai & it is badass now gotta watch season 3
Love Cobra Kai, its such a great show. William Zabka does an outstanding job. I love the episode where he pins his point of view on Daniel and how he thinks he is the bad guy. Really good writing. Perception is everything
