I'm very confused right now

80’s Hollywood, man. Whatcha gonna do?

you should've watched him on Happy Days

He was born in the USA hehe

Ojash Ohj and on happy days

That's the same laugh head movement he used for drunk Mr. Miyagi

Glad i aint the only one lol

That's kind of fucking weird... Especially since that was a stage laugh. It was a part of the bit. Not a genuine laugh. Capisce?

@@ArizonaHeat602 creeped me out tbh

And the little "cutting his hand" gag, great soul, we miss you pat!

This is now my headcanon

I love your big galaxy brain.

Have you ever seen Pat Morita in the movie Spy Hard?

mr miyagi is just BS-ing daneil san to make him do his work :))

@@kata1261 I agree let's consider this canon

This guy probably never even been to Japan or learned karate.

you're referring to this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qLOiic5lxtS4Zqs.html

dude i just typed in hip nip OMG hahaha he's pretty funny to

@@ashishmanandhar6020 Wow! And?

Thats not true

@Joe Dick that would have been hilarious

Karate Kid wasn't a Comedy???? Maybe I'm thinking of the one with Jackie Chan....?

@@matthewsermons7247 not really, it was mostly drama with a few hilarious moments in it.

@@paul16451 splitting hairs? also an awesome karate move

@Joe Dick That’s hilarious 😂

The Office!!!!

marcelo78 there's no steadier hand than the hand of a man shaving his balls.

I didnt get the joke

@Audit R Servants Really? If you are serious, the joke is that the best swordsman, the last one, was able to cut off the testicles of the fly so it wouldn't be able to have children anymore. That was how precise he was when cutting the fly that stayed alive with no more "testicles" and of course, part of the joke is flies have no testicles as insects.

WHATEVER GOES FOR ME - I believe Audit R Servants was referring to the comment about Japan heart surgeon steady hand. The comment we’re commenting on.

Yes, some of us remember him from the show, Happy Days.

I knew that from one odd his interviewed. Some people really think N. Asian people speak like that based off tv shows alone...

@@TheoCynical very true. I think because I grew up in Hawaii and had a lot of Japanese American friends who spoke perfect English, I never thought it was strange when Pat spoke perfect English. I just heard Yuji Okumoto (the main villain in Karate Kid 2) speak perfect English for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. I always suspected he was American but didn’t know for sure until I heard his normal speaking voice.

He’s American cause he loved America. And believe me I would know.

Engrish

Moves that would never work in real life

Joe Rogan has entered the chat, Jamie just pulled it up.

Hahaha

Especially since I think one of the guys is Fred Ettish

The real joke is sound editing guy. He made all the sound effects for the background guys

Nisuke p@ Morita was likely alright though , his character mister myagi was actually behaving like a scam artist within the karate kid movies

loooool

He also too much tv.

"show me castrate the fly"

He was also beginner luck.

Agreed I saw that in college. Bad teachers would hand you a print out of the lesson and leave it at that. The good ones would explain it great detail and could explain problems in various different ways if you had trouble.

Those words are true,

Yeah he was great at lying also 🤣

I once had a maths teacher for Calculus and when I said I didn't understand he just showed me the exact same way over and over expecting me to understand. he was apparently the best maths teacher in the whole college but 48% of the class failed.

Best words to ever live by

Those who are saying it have never actually seen the man before.

@@PaNDaSNiP3R Or they don't know that he lived in Hawaii and this is a type of local accent.

How could they say it's not him? Unless your Stevie Wonder this is clearly Pat Morita. And if your eyes deceive you, you can hear the way he makes that sound effect oh, it's the same exact sound effect he uses and part 2 when he grabs the guy's nose and honks it LOL

Wrong, it's Mr. Myogi.

@@TheRedFist92 I doubt living in Hawaii really had much of any bearing on his accent (he lived for nearly 50 years in California). ---------------- Take a look at this interview - (he sounds just like anyone else) *Pat Morita discusses getting cast as Mr. Miyagi in The Karate Kid* kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g9VymKuKlrjao2Q.html&hd=1

Great man

Totally agree

That's like celebrating your 25th wedding anniversary 5 years after your divorce.

🙏

Amazing man ..RIP

corrupt200 Miyagi-san you dirty old man.😂

Don't you mean castlates? :p

no he meant "fry" and "acomprish" - you know, with japanese, it's just the other way 'round...

"Hmph. Beginner's Luck."

Lol, agreed!

One of the great movie performances and the best casting. The story of him landing the role is something else. He was the one person the producer didn’t want because the producer knew Pat was a standup comedian. The director brought him in for auditions and the producer saw Pat’s performance and told the director under no circumstances would Pat ever land the role because he didn’t want a standup comedian. Pat got wind of the news and moved to Hawaii. After several months had passed (maybe five) the director got in touch with Pat and asked him to fly to CA for some more auditions and Pat told him that the producer Jerry was adamant Pat would never get the role so Pat didn’t want to go where he wasn’t wanted. He figured there no chance. But the director convinced Pat to fly in for more auditions to try to convince the producer because the director saw something in Pat and felt it was his part. At this point Pat’s standup career was on a bit of a down turn and he was mostly waiting tables and so he had grown his hair long and let his beard go. The director was surprised to see him like this but proceeded with the video recorded auditions as planned. Afterward Pat went back to Hawaii. The producer and director watched all of the different actor’s auditions and when Pat’s video came up the producer said, “who’s this actor I’ve never seen him before, that’s Mr. Miyagi”. The producer never recognised him after Pat grew his hair and beard out and almost gave up on his Hollywood career.

me too

As Pat came from the Borsch Belt, I’m sure he knew all the variations 😂

Most youngsters don't know Buddy Hackett. Have to find another voice.

@@haroldshimizu1400 No kidding. THey've missed so much and I miss no longer catching great entertainers on network specials or as guests on "Carson". At least we have Facebook.

The fry on the wall. Same as Bells of Horry.

@@decepticonleader316 Rah-rah-rah-rah rahhhhh rah-rah rah rahhhh

These lines were better than the actual joke.

I laughed at this more than the joke on.the video 😂

Hahahaha...

COBRA KAI NEVER DIES!

No Mercy!

I think Cobra Kai just grew a lot more

Yeah the porn industry pays above average.

@@marvelleonline Because y'all virgins allow it...

seriously

maybe because of Cobra Kai season 2 is now out? I recommended it

lol!!!

Yeah, same here.

its not the car theyre waxing thats for sure

You can say _that_ again.

@@kaptainkokujin4986 ???????????????????????!!!!!!!

@@sempai3169 you said "fluck" instead of "fuck"

Too bad he didn't really know any martial arts lol

... Pat Morita was a comedian and the type of guy to wake up and start the day with a cigarette and cocktail

adam tarver he didnt actually practice a martial art seriously but he knew enough to be casted as miyagi surprisingly

He didn't know martial arts at all.. He was lightly trained for choreographed fight scenes on set. Originally they wanted Toshiro Mifune to play the part of Miyagi which i am a little torn on. Even in the 1980s Mifune could be an imposing figure on screen and it might have taken away from the innocence of the film

I knew there were going to be dickheads that had to point out the fact that pat Morita didn't know martial arts. KZfaq is like preschool for idiots.

8 years

Same here after watching the Cobra Kai series

robert c yeah that def has to be it haha

9 years for me.

Better late than never!

ISEE YOU That end joke was so funny.

Neither did the fly.

It's a very old joke.

The ending was hilarious

Me either, that was hilarious!

You’re not a gnat are ya Bug?? Wait a minute… Bug… gnat…

The joke Pat told is older than Uncle Buck so did John Candy steal the joke, or did he just honor the joke by basically using the punchline?

I was honestly heartbroken when we lost Bernie Mac

Yeah i thought it was really funny I've got to remember that one 😅 😂 🤣

Always look eye.

Someone who was impossibly funny.

But Buddy's Duck Joke is in the recommendations on the right. So they'll learn. Want to be funny kids? You need a classical education. Start with the masters.

Lol.. exactly.

Hi

No. Fkn. Way......dood🤥 How'd you meet???

For real???

@@kuraidjinn My old boss was a publicist for Pat Morita. When my boss had his birthday, I randomly chatted up a girl with a girl, after drinker with her a bit. Turned out to be his daughter. Pat had already passed away a few years prior to kidney failure. But he kept in touched with Pat's family. That was my first celebrity party. I met a ton of actors that day. I can tell you someone who admires film a lot. Being in a scenario meeting all your favorite actors for the first time in one room. Feels like when Rose revisits Titanic in her dream and all the people are waiting for her. It felt surreal.

HolyHell! So, you didn’t even know at first. That’s pretty amazing. You two still keeping in contact?

nihonto means sword?

Thought it was a ken

I do care, Thank you ^^/...

Well done. You could have stopped after naming the sword, but your last line made me laugh. That took it from a pedantic bit of trivia to make yourself sound smart to something funny. Well done.

Mr. Morita is an American, probably not a real black belt, making a comedy show for Americans in the early 80's. "short sword" is a good enough term. Besides what he is holding looks like a 1D6 damage weapon to me

I don't think Karate Kid was created at the time, I could be wrong though

Lmao

Confucius say: Man with hole in pocket feel cocky all day.

@@unclejustin7267 confucious was Chinese not Japanese

@@BigSkyCurmudgeon who said he was Japanese?

@@808saimin , Pat was Japanese heritage, Nisei actually but roots in Japan.. why the comments swung to Chinese sayings only show ignorance of the posters to assume there is no difference

Suk Hyun Hahm that’s racist

@@alitlweird i know. I love it

That was weak bro

@@sonnybrown4758 knees weak, arms are heavy

+Guy Forget Born and raised in California but that didn't stop the army/federal government from putting him and his family in an internment camp during the second world war. Imprisoned for no reason. Same with George Takei and thousands of others. Shameful, really.

+InformationIsTheEdge It's beyond comprehension isn't it? The Asian-American WW2 concentration camps are the least publicised and taught civil and human rights violations of Western culture. I'm not American and I only ever found out from watching the Karate Kid. No European country, to my knowledge, covers it in world history classes at school.

John Smith I saw a documentary about WWII that focused on the United States and its industrial prowess and just barely glossed over the Japanese concentration camps. That was how I first learned of it. I think there is a lecture here on KZfaq, done by George Takei in which he describes how he is still able to love America despite the treatment he received. Rather big of him.

Maybe because internment camps looked more like POW camps, and concentration camps are, oh, I don't know, death camps. You're taking a very euphemistic attitude in comparing the treatment of Japanese Americans to the treatment of those in concentration camps.

It demeans those who suffered far worse treatments on an even larger scale.

Don’t forget about Terry Silver!

Could be, or whoever came up with your version may have dirtied it up.

Crurned Travels and Other Stories / yes I think that’s true about comedians being good dramatic actors. Some other amazing examples have been Milton Berle when he did a drama roll and the old playhouse 90, Mickey Rooney and Jackie Gleason in Rod Serling‘s movie, Requiem for a heavyweight. But have you seen the KZfaq where Pat Marita explains how he got the job for the karate kid. The big mogul, Gerry Weintraub, did not want Pat because he was a comedian and he saw the role of Mr. Miyagi as too dramatic. He later reversed himself for his extreme opinionated feelings. Anyone who has seen the karate kid knows that the whole film works because of the clever understated comic situations throughout the plot line. So I agree with you you are right especially in pet Marita‘s case in his role of a lifetime. Did you know that the name of the founder a Goju Ryu karate is Miyagi?

I have seen several interviews with actors, including Michael Caine, about comedy and acting. They all said that there is nothing harder to do than comedy. If you can do comedy well, you can do anything.

Pat Morita was your uncle?!

@@TheOnlyHollywood1 he was everyone's uncle.

Only 29 years to wait, I'll be 87 😥

thanks for letting us know about that video

Starring Johnny Yoon.

I had a Toyota once. Oh what a feeling....lol. I loved that movie growing up. I love how he got the 2 hangs to fight each other by saying one master was better than the other. Great Comedy.

Is there a vid on it lol

With this leg (points to left leg), i can kick your nose... with this leg, I can kick your ear, with this hand.. I can rip off your arm.. take a goooood look at me, I'm Asian! Ahhhhhhhhh! lol

he is the actor wo played Mr. Miyagi... Either that, or I am racist and think all Asians look the same ...

@@belalabusultan5911 😂😂😂😂

@@belalabusultan5911 I meant to say “ Am I the only one who’s surprised that his personality isn’t like Mr. Miyagi”, but yeah I do know who he is and I would say (most) Asians look the same

@@Ivan-vx3zo it’s not that they look the same, it’s that your brain isn’t as good at differentiating between people of a race other than your own.
