This was pretty funny. I get that it's a joke and all, but making satire about The Karate Kid like this means you sort of have to ignore the whole point. Mainly the point is that Miyagi trained Daniel for three months in a very straight-forward style of karate and that Miyagi himself has been in many fights when he was growing up in Okinanwa so he actually knew how to fight. The Cobra Kai guys couldn't beat Daniel because their karate was too watered down and based on beating up guys who didn't know how to protect themselves, whereas Miyagi's karate has been refined through decades of beating up guys who also knew karate. The final point is that the Cobra Kai weren't really good at karate; they were just bullies.

I don't think you know what "douche" means, regarding the personality type.

  Looks around, suprised, then focuses on the moment and begins clapping at a slightly faster pace.

  Observes spectacle in teary-eyed admiration. Armed with a new resolve, claps more loudly than the others, and at a slightly faster pace.

I wish there were some way I could bump this. It's a shame for something this funny to languish in the depths of the archives with a lousy three comments. Not even anybody incomprehensibly advertising Warcraft powerleveling.
