This entire series took place because Johnny said "bitch"


If Johnny didn't use that word when talking to the lady about her TV at the beginning, he wouldn't have gotten fired. Getting fired led to him being depressed and getting in a fight with Kyler and to his drunken night drive to the All Valley Arena, which led to his car getting smashed, which led to his run in with Daniel, which rubbed him the wrong way and inspired him to revive the Cobra Kai dojo. So, no "bitch", no dojo, no show.

Love the show, so I'm glad Johnny used foul language.

I think that firing was the trigger, not the cause.

From the sound of the phone call he had with the bitch's husband, it seemed Johnny did work for the guy routinely, but I doubt it was enough to live on.

Cool.

When Johnny explains that he DIDN'T call her a bítch, he only described her behaviour as 'bítching', it leads to a really funny humor immediately after what happens after this explanation.

This scene is one of the surprisingly funniest things I saw in the show. I have to admit, I love the humor, how the heck can a modern TV show be this brilliant?

reply

Actually he said 'bitching'. She mistook it for 'bitch'.

reply

Probably deliberately. She was a typical woman; giving unclear, easy-to-misunderstood orders that can be taken multiple ways, and then refuses to take any responsibility for her own actions, nitpicking anything the man might slip out to get him fired.

Just so she doesn't have to admit she was wrong, or at least unclear.

So she trolled the man until she got him to slip up, so she could make sure he gets the slip.
