There’s something so uniquely lovable about Zabka and I can’t put my finger on it. He reminds me of that really chill relative you bump into at family events.

He has the personality of somebody you can easily get to know on the first day of school, work or any social gathering and be just chill and down to earth to have a good time.

I named my son Lawrence after Johnny Lawrence. I’m 48 yrs old and my son is 8. He loves all the movies and the Cobra Kai show. Because of this he wanted to get enrolled in karate a few years ago. Now he runs around in cobra Kai gear. It’s come full circle in my life. We love Johnny Lawrence!

[@simonbionary11010]

Zabka has great comedic timing. Something that we never saw in the movie, but one of the reasons why Johnny became such a loved character on Cobra Kai.

[@xart23x]

Zabka is the star of the show. Credit to Ralph for letting others shine. Karate Kid is Americana as much as anything but, still universally loved because life is a fight and good, bad, pretty, ugly, poor, rich, talented or not…we all have to fight to get ahead and to keep strong to maintain the good in us and protect our family. I cherish the Cobra Kai and the Karate Kid universe and I love that the actors are great people.

I am 38 yo and i'm so excited to see every season. I can't believe they managed to bring all the original actors from Karate kid. is an insane awesome flashback.

[@thelegendofthem6120]

I dont see how age is relevant but okay. The show is great! Just for further context, from what I've read, The Golden Girls transcended through to all ages and was the number 1 show and they got letters from fans aged 9 to 90. If the shows are good, all ages will connect with them.

Met him briefly in high school. He was part of a pep rally and did some sorta round house kick at the end and one of my classmates jumped into his arms. He was on some sort speaking tour and talked about his religious beliefs, aspirations and motivational type things. Believe it was 1987. Farmington high school, minnesnowta.
