It's rare that you see a cast that genuinely looks like they're friends in real life. The chemistry is amazing
Jacob and Peyton are dating and Xolo dated the woman who plays Moon.
I remember watching season 1 and think Hawk was such a jerk. Then saw him in these interviews and he seems like the coolest guy to hang out with 😂
@@mattlau season 1 hawk was the goat
no its not rare lol the cast of movies/shows always get along
@@Kxreem3677 No not “always”. It’s not even 50% of the time. They’re just co workers to each other, unless they take the time to get to know each other and become friends but it doesn’t happen often in Hollywood
I love Xolo and Jacob not answering each other’s questions cause they know everything about each other
Peyton is Jacob girlfriend so could’ve been her too
@@tracygyamfi5880 wait is that actually true?
@@bellaknightR597 yeah it is
@@tracygyamfi5880 they broke up after her 1st season. They are just friends now. Xolo is dating the spacey zen girl in the show.
@@polivepea what spacey zen girl?
I want to see more of the younger and older cast members doing interviews together. This was so funny and sweet
Right at the begging it was Ralph, Billy, Mary, Tanner, and Xolo but once the main cast expanded it's was always the kids or the OG interviews so it's nice to see the OG and kids pick on each other. Just sad Tanner not here.
Yeah! They all have such sweet relationships with their 'mentors' too, it's great to see them together
I love these!
I 100% agree
Right they had a good vibe together
“It’s my most memorable because I have nightmares that i broke the karate kid” LMAOOO AHAHAHAHA
I wonder if Ralph tied Gianni to a punching bag afterwards 🙂
i broke The Karate Kid...action figure when i was 7. actually it was the Chozen figure that broke him.
Glad William and Ralph got into this with the younger cast members. It awesome to see the whole cast being friends not just the kids
honestly that's their Dads
This is the reason why the show is such a hit...you cannot fake this kind of cast chemistry.
I agree, I especially like Ralph’s and Mary’s!
xolo snickering and going “this is my table” absolutely got me out of nowhere LMAO i love him and his humor
Logan Paul: I am the Table.
Bro I read this as soon as he said that lol
I love how Mary called Ralph “dad” because in the show Mary is his daughter it’s so amazing how close they are

I hope Cobra Kai never ends, It's done a great job of bringing in old and new fans of Karate Kid
All good things must come to an end
@@recebarhyan Yeah it will eventually
They said its going up to season 7
Cobvra Kai never dies!
@@It_is_showtime621 source?
Cobra Kai was such a surprise. Such a good series that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Hope it never ends 😊
Well sadly all good things must come to an end
@@xSKY23 true, or maybe they just reboot it on 40 years?
Word
@@xSKY23 I think next season will be the final season, they won't have much left to do after that.
@@joemckim1183 SPOILER BY THE WAY but they do still have a lot left. They can make Miguels storyline into a plot with his dad in Mexico which could go on for ages. Kreese is out of jail, Chozen can go back to Okinawa, the worldwide tournament going on and who knows, maybe they could tie in Jaden smith and Jackie Chan into the show seeming as Will Smith is an executive producer. There's still alot more to unpack.
"How old were you?" "I was five" "You were five... Was is a Coors Banquet commercial?" Honestly, I'm not sure if Zabka is playing Johnny in the series or if Johnny is playing Zabka in real life 🤣🤣
Both
🤰🤰
The answer is Yes.
Johnny isnt as funny as Billy.
I wish they had had more fun with Ralph and Billy. "How many 80s movies did Billy play a bad guy in?"
That would’ve been hilarious 😂
remember Billy in National Lampoons European Vacation? wonder what Johnny would say about the ugo he dated in that movie?
Honestly, Cobra Kai has some of the best characters and stories ever.
not at all. I enjoy it a lot but their are so many better stories and characters but the original karate kid does indeed have an amazing story
@@sim5675 ummm just get to the point..where are u even goin with this XDXD
@@lazybum9732 they stated their point? seemed quite short and consise XDXD
@@lazybum9732 ???

When she casually said "pass it to dad" I genuinely grinned ear to ear.
Omg the generational differences are so obvious but so charming. Billy and Ralph trying understand pop culture is a mood.
Ralph was so proud of himself for remembering My Chemical Romance
Babes ,They are the pop culture😭 (dilfs) lol but when ralph said MCR I got so happy🤭
William Zabka is so funny 😅 his jokes are so genuine 😂
It's so cute how they can make eachother laugh, like you can tell they have their own inside jokes too. Edit: didn’t think that would get 1k likes lol…thx
Whenever Sam made a joke. Tory just had a serious face. Like she didn't like her
@@E11KMA I think Peyton List just has natural RBF, but her and Mary are friends in real life. You can see their Instagrams
@@E11KMA Why do you call them by their characters' names?
@@stevendrumm4957 😂
@@stevendrumm4957 easier
As a Czech person myself, I feel so blessed that after so long someone knows atleast a bit of the language and it's frickin' William Zabka!
As a Bulgarian I was pleasantly suprised he knows a lilttle bit of my language too. Slav power
@Surfer Oscar Nominated* , It didn't win
FR
He produced an Academy Award-nominated short film shot in Czech Republic and is of Czech descent.
@@nikhilsharma9589 should have won in my honest opinion
“You’re Like a podcast best friend” LMAOOO AHAHHA
they literally are though lol. they have a podcast together!
I found it wholesome how Mary called still calls Ralph “dad” 4:20 outside character.
“This is my table” “Don’t turn off the light in my bathroom” LMAOOO AHAHAHAAH
Seeing the whole cast together just warms my heart every time :)
Tanner is not there 😔
William: You were older than me?? Ralph: by decades I Need more of this two together 🤣
I think we all need that
Fun Fact Terry is older than LaRusso in real life
@@deepaksabu3744other way around actually
“Each letter is its own tattoo” -William Zabka😂
10:10 the way xolo says "THiS iS mA tAbLe"
I love how xolo got all of Mary’s questions 😭😭
I like the friendship between Ralph Macchio and William Zabka.
the way william calls her tory. 😂
Don’t know the last time I genuinely laughed this much watching a cast’s interview. Love these guys!
the melding of generations is so wholesome. More shows that mix ages like this please
yeah I like it too, it's refreshing. Though kinda weird that there's no Gen Y cast or characters in this show.
“Passing the baton to dad” sounded so natural my heart I-
9:40 Jacob: what is my hidden talent? Gianni: NOT TALKING
I love this series. Especially season 5, the whole family and togetherness, friendship and bonding.. I love it all. Plus the mix of comedy and everything.. I love it
Billy "Each letter its is own tatto". Thats litterly Johnny talking
5:38 *wait your older than me?* this part got me 😂
everyone else: *roasting jacob* Peyton: 😍*goes on and on abt how talented he is at woodworking*😍
I’m pretty sure they’re dating right😅 😂
@@abigailisi yes they are
Lol I love how William called Peyton "Tory" her character 😂😂
Man I love season 5. Not one single complaint. I loved the teaming up with Daniel johnny and Mike along with chozen. Seriously it was the best season of any show ever and watching Daniel take Terry out using the crane kick seriously made my year. I always wanted Johnny and Mike to meet and they did, both as brief enemies then allies. I wish the show could go on forever. I hope that when it ends it ends with Johnny back in control of Cobra Kai, Daniel of course with miyagi-do and the two dojos operating as sister schools with shared students.
PREACH
Same. 2 I felt was the weakest of all seasons but overall all were great.
This is most likely the endgame. It's predictable, but I wouldn't want it any other way. Happy endings for all the good guys! and maybe even Kreese.
Dumb fanboy.
A big complaint. The way Daniel loses his mind and goes to Mike without any proof of anything. Stupid.
Hearing Ralph saying “ my chemical romance” is beyond legendary 🤘🔥 @ 3:50
5:32 "Wait, your older then me" says every adult around his age.
Is no one gonna mention Mary speaking some language insanely fast??? And Gianni's face after 😂
It was pig Latin. Not a language
@@BiancaMcCloud It was doubletalk (or gibberish), not pig latin, but also, not a language.
Also, what she said was "But do you speak doubletalk"
@@VegaSpydr Either way, I found it impressive. But thank you for that clarification!
I was looking for this comment like it's the most replayed part of the video yet no popular comments mentioned it, I've never heard the term doubletalk before, just gibberish so I couldn't figure out the last word until now but if you slow down the vid you can hear it more clearly and actually hear his response "Uh huh" meaning he could understand her perfectly 😅
Finally one of these videos with the younger and older cast together, love it 💕
This is THE best cast ever honestly
Stranger things
@@1.kwithonevideo578 yeah stranger things and this show
Hoping they all attend a Comic Con together. I met William Zabka, Martin Kove and Jacob Bertrand in Salt Lake City last year love too meet the rest here plus Courtney Henggeler and Vanessa Rubio.
This year xolo Jacob William tanner and Mary will be there
I met William Zabka and Martin Kove 2 months ago and I'm meeting Mary, Tanner, Xolo, Jacob and Thomas Ian Griffith at the salt lake city con
@@Big_flex_02 I’m meeting Zabka xolo and tanner
@@shawnmatt how?? Where are there tickets for that
Unfortunately Peyton Lists canceled had a great idea for photo with her. But my dream group picture would be Daniel, Johnny, Kreese, Amanda, Carmen, Miguel, Hawk, Sam, Robbie, Tory, Demitri, Silvers, Chozen and Devon. No Kyler, Mo Stingray, No Louie.
This was definitely my favourite season I wished we got to see more of the cast members interact on screen together
Ralph is the absolute sweetest in this interview
Whats crazy is his demeanor still very much resembles Daniel!
Have you seen him in how I met your mother
@@C2daF It's almost like it's the same guy.
Ralph really is such a Dad 😂
No wonder Cobra Kai is such a hit, the actors seem like they're an actual family in real life.
I still can’t believe Ralph was 21 in the first Karate kid😭😭
Gianni: "This one might be a little tricky. What is my favorite on-set snack-" Mary: *"DIET COKE!"* Gianni: "What the fu-"
I love that William Zabka can speak Czech, but Ralph, there is no Czechoslovakian language anymore, we split into Czech Republic and Slovakia
@Beans no, it never was a language to begin with, Czech and Slovak language are two separate, yet very close languages, so people mix them together
omg gianni was so funny "hmmm this might be tricky..." "DIET COKE" that was great! everyone has such great synergy!
Ralph Macchio and William Zabka are treasures to this world.
Love the cast man, Cobra Kai is the best show ever, no other show compares to this, hope it never ends soon
This was my favorite season so far, keep em coming
Must watch! I couldn't stop laughing. The cast has so much chemistry.
I love this. Both the younger and older cast members doing a video together.
Gianni DeCenzo is the most Italian name I have ever heard, but couple that with the fact that he drinks 7 DCs a day, this kid is at defcon 3 level Italian😂
ik😆no idea why they didn't just make his CK character Italian, in line with Daniel? would have been so easy and made actual sense. instead Demetri is like Greek or something
I love how each one has something of their character, they have a lot of chemistry
Amazing cast, amazing script, really good acting , this show just keeps on giving.... So happy I found it! Something was missing in my life I didnt know about, and now its here with me.. =) William Zabka is amazing as Johnny Lawrence, my favourite carachter by far, becasue he's just so funny =). This season Chozen is up there also what an amazing add to the cast he turned out to be! Hope he returns!
Plus it is a few shows in Hollywood now a days that doesn’t woke or sjw or stupid PC
@@alfradeather233 What lol
Dimitri doesn't seem like he has to try to act that hard. He just needs to be himself when he's on Cobra Kai! Impressive!
If he just needs to be himself, what's impressive?
@@lottonthewizard4352 casting is impressive.
Is it just me who thinks the cast of cobra Kai has the coolest full names ever?
I love how the cast interact like old friends, and Mary said that at the end ,being friends for years. And I feel like they have that friendship
Lovely interview session. Cobra Kai s5 is wild and I dont know how they are going to close up this whole plot within 2 more seasons. Gonna miss them a lot.
how did billy not get the question about how old ralph was in katate kid 😭
Have you seen Ralph? In this video he looks 40 and is 60. William probably thought he was 18 or something.
I really love how they all let each other speak and listen to each other... fantastic.
they have such a good connection as a cast
7:18 honestly it's real true love when you stock your fridge with food or drink you don't like specifically for your loved one to enjoy🔒
They're chemistry is really good. I loved to finally see Billy and Ralph playing with younger cast 🤍
Had a blast watching the wholesome exchanges taking place between my favourite show's cast members...
Gianni: I though I broke the karate kid 🤣🤣🤣 (8:16)
"woah, woah, woah, no, no, we have not kissed to this day" idk why I thought that was so funny lol 4:41
By far my favorite of these. They’re so sweet and respectful to each other.
I love how genuine their friendship is🥰🥰🥰
we need more interviews of all these guys together. i loveeee their chemistry.
I hope this series never ends , they're soo adorable 😍😘
Wiring the bathroom light up so that it's somehow a fuse for the entire house's wiring is honestly kind of impressive.
Peyton and Mary are very sweet and friendly. They are awesome
their friendship👩❤👩
Easily the most addicting/fun show of the past 20 years.
I honestly think Jacob is going places. His career is gonna blow up soon
Jacob seems like the best friend you could ask for… they’re lucky to have him man…
absolutely love this cast, what a great show
I love the whole cast so much!!!!! Best show ever
bro I love this show sm and the cast irl their friendship is everything omg
This is the best interview I had fun watching it
We need more of this😂
Omg 1:45 - “Goop, breh?” 😂😂😂
Such a fun interview
Cobra Kai Cast is just so good both in acting talent and synergy between them .🤩😍
hey brother!
I love it when Xolo said "this is my table" 🤣😂
I love how xolo and Mary know each other well
Finally they're back ✨😭❤️
I love Cobra Kai my favorite show thank you to all the actors and stunt devils and the creators without you guys this would not be possible. Cobra Kia never dies
I prefer the Mustang Cobra over the Cobra Kia personally
This cast is so great together. They seem so comfortable with one another it’s fun to watch them on the show. 👍
I don't know if anyone else has said this but I love the way Jacob said "I'm Jacob Scott-Thomas Bertrand" lol.
Man, I love this show and its cast so much. Just wish Tanner was there with them.
This cast has the best chemistry, I need them all to do interviews like this more often!
im so happy ralph and william are there too ❤
Loved season 5! Loved this whole cast. I hear season 6 may be its last. I hope every one of them has a good career outside of Cobra Kai moving forward. They all deserve it.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND I HAVE TO KNOW IF THERE WILL BE SEASON 6 😭
