Why Samantha LaRusso Doesn't Have Any Friends | Cobra Kai Analysis 

Yea.. if i knew someone like her in high school, id have dated her in a heartbeat..

She’s the most innocent person in the series

Amanda didn't want all the fighting either.

Evan Koch, moon had nothing to do with yasmin’s meme of aisha, all moon did was that she laughed when she saw the meme.

Evan Koch, moon didn’t know aisha and wasn’t friends with her in the past yet she apologized, Samantha Larusso was Aisha’s best friend since childhood yet she stood bye and did nothing, only apologizing after getting ditched

Mans said asia

A hypocri that can do no wrong. Samantha Larusso

And dating the biggest bully in school. Hard to imagine she was oblivious to how kyler treats people

Sam the worst fake bitch

It really shows something when she uses her friends as human shields just to get away from a fight

For sure.

Because she is having panic attack

@@Aobix it’s her fault though but I see what you mean

@@tabzaofficial If Sam is blame for the school fight because she started it with Tory in S02, then by your own logic Cobra Kai's are blamed for arcade fight since they started it with Miyagi Do's by assaulting Nate and stealing money.

Hate to break it to you but she is the main character

And ur just a fucking idiot who is looking at one person and looking at one situation instead of looking at everyone and every situation

He's not the first one.

@@dannychochello6254 I hear you!

@@dannychochello6254 You got that from one sentence?

It looks like she's nice but yeah she is self absorbed

What do you mean nowadays? Entitled people have been around in large number for hundreds of years

partisan race mixing? What? And she’s bi-sexual

Moon is a far better example than either Sam or Tory. Sam shares Daniel's tendency to but in where not needed or even asked. Tory is too wild by nature in her own aggressiveness and need to control.

i said this on another wp video. Moon is best so far, hoping for more Moon in 3.

Lil UZi i thought the Same thing

Lil UZi it is sad that you can only like a comment once

I like the mom she is really the only one with sense

Daniel is stubborn his daughter is a liar and manipulator and the son is a spoiled brat im ashamed we share the same name 🙄

@@Anthonydavis65 What about the grandma? She’s annoying too

@@divergentxmen283 she is lol 😂 she wasnt even that bad in old movies sad times have changed

@@Anthonydavis65 Lol

1. She didnt actually cheat on him. He just assumed she did which led to her dumping him and then hooking up with robby after a long break. 2. She reconciled with Aisha and Aisha forgave her. Plus she wasnt mean at all to Aisha while she was with the popular girls. 3. They werent flirting at all lmao. 4. Takes two to initiate a kiss. Plus Sam was obviously drunk and there is zero evidence that Miguel was drunk, therefore we can guess he was sober 5. Shes not the one who started it, she didnt even touch Miguel during that fight it was Robby. Also shes the only one out of Tory Robby and her that took full accountability for what happened there and apologized to Miguel for it. 6. True. Its her fault Demetri’s arm was broken, but again she took accountability and stood up for Demetri plenty of times before and after that. Im not saying Sam is the good guy, but she sure as hell aint the villain. Neither is Tory. It takes two to fight and both of them screwed with eachother plenty. Neither of them is the bad guy in the rivalry.

Let’s not forget how she unfairly accused Tory of stealing her moms purse. Sure Tory might’ve gone reckless stealing liquor in the first place but at the end she still didn’t take the purse.

With Demetri’s arm, y’all have to realize Sam has trauma from Tory. She’s scared of Tory, and I completely understand her feelings. She froze up when she saw her because she didn’t want to get hurt again. She panicked. That’s a completely reasonable response to a scary situation (freezing up and stuff). They shouldn’t have broken his arm in the first place. They made that decision.

@@naran3337 - True, though I can see why she’d think that. man if only she apologized after 💀

@@Starrytchi well he wouldnt hav gotten his arm broken if she hadnt tried to jump them nd Tory was jst puttin a stop Sams bullshit

It does seem like it.

That is so true it’s kinda sad😂😂😂

Well at the start she was a bully

@@bobbynewman9321 Yes at the start. But I don't think that was what he was talking about

No she isn’t, Miyagi was against attacking first and aggression, not violence though, Moon is someone that protests war, Miyagi is someone who fought in a war. Miyagi also does you violence when necessary, Moon is just a delusional hippie, Miyagi is someone that knows when and when not violence is warranted

Amanda: “I uh, uh, seriously?” Carmen: “You really think that??”

Yessssss

Tory: what about me?!

Sorry bro, I'm gonna have to go with Tory on that one

Sorry bro but now that yumiko is back no one’s going to come close to her, she saved Daniel emotionally and financially with less than 15 minute screen time

Dude first off her and robbie got together well after het and miguel broke up and she didnt invite him she drove there to see miguel and she told robbie she had a boyfriend and even introduced miguel as her boyfriend and how did miguel respond...with attitude agression and accusations she even tried to text him to tell him why she couldnt respond to him and miguel didnt want to hear it he even tried to fight robbie and he also pushed sam down during that whole thing because he was drunk i mean can u blame her for breaking up with him....cause i sure dont....like i said everyone is responsible for all the bad shit that happend but i guess ur to ignorant and dumb and to blind to see that

Danny Chochello nope your wrong. She pushed him away because her dad hated cobra Kai. She could have been honest with him. Plus they have a house phone. You have to look at things from other people's perspective. He didn't intentionally hurt Sam. She could have dropped Robbie off at home. You don't show up with another guy holding hands to a party. Ignore your girlfriend for a day and show up with another girl holding hands. What did Sam think Robbie was going to do at the party? Play third wheel? He could have told Sam that he could understand Miguel reaction. She made moves on Robbie a month after the incident. Anyone can see people's interest. Her relationship with Miguel was pure. Her relationship with Robbie was rebounding because of proximity. Her kissing Miguel in season 9 shows who she really loves and who Miguel does. Tory is his rebound. When you understand how love can cause jealousy which is what it does.

@@teddyj5187 ok so she made a few mistakes nobody is perfect dude shes allowed to talk to and date whoever she wants since they were not a couple anymore and its hard to look at other peoples perspective when they put everything on one character when clearly everyone is to blame not just one person

@@teddyj5187 sams mom grounded her from all communication she was grounded which means just that if she was grounded from her cell phone what makes u think she wasnt grounded from the house phone as well thats what grounded means no phone privlages at all and besides that she tried to text miguel when her mom left the room but her mom caught her doing it so u cant say she didnt try to contect miguel because she clearly did so that argument is out the window

Yes and Miguel the last time he saw her she was having dinner with Robbie and her family. She acknowledged he was drunk. So she should have talked to him the next day. Now the script says bring drunk reveals your true intentions. So season 2 the kiss she says was a mistake. Can't have it both ways. She gives a thug like Robbie a chance. Robbie knows she has feelings for Miguel. He tried to kill him. She is way too impulsive.

@Evan Koch It reminds me of this one set of lyrics from this one musical I used to be super into back when I was trying to be edgy, but it was "I gave you the life I wish I had". Yeah it's probably that mentality. Can't blame Daniel, but it does have consequences.

Yep she is pampered. She thinks she's the center of the universe. Some kids are like that.

Evan Koch, Yh I can’t fault Daniel for spoiling his kids Sam being rich has nothing to do with her actions, Aisha is rich and is very likable The truth of the matter is Samantha is a prick with no moral compass

Evan Koch, she only protected Dimitri because he was the first miyagi do student and wanted an excuse to fight cobra kai after Daniel passed on his hatred for cobra kai Sam didn’t dump kyler for his bullying, even after finding out kyler was a bully, she still went to the movies with him and only dumped him when kyler tried to sexually assault her Sam only made amends with Aisha after her popular friends ditched her. Sam could have ditched yasmine to make up with Aisha but she preferred being with yasmine and the thought of making amends didn’t come to mind until she got dropped. Also notice the timing when Sam makes up with aisha, at that point yasmine and kyler where no longer popular and the cobra’s where the new king pin so Sam only made up with Aisha after she became a part of the most popular group at school Sam has no moral compass and leaves damage in her wake, not to mention she’s a slut

Evan Koch, Samantha felt terrible about Aisha getting bullied?? Yet she didn’t defend her until her popular friends ditched her

wait is she not gonna be in s3?

Kristina Lee correct. It was announced a while ago that she won't be in the season.

WatchParty awh darn :(

I love Aisha’s mother talking about Cobra Kia

Oh no. I really wanted to see her blossom and have a relationship too.

Chris Maddock best quote from Johnny to Daniel. Ultimate junk punch to Daniel. Lol

Likes are nice

Ook your gonna listen to the 80s bully right like the guy wasn’t a trouble maker too not even seen what he initiated or provoked Daniel more ways than one.

Chris Maddock 90like

@@musememe1349 Even if Johnny acted wrong, what does that have to do with Daniel being unaware of his kids?

Totally agree.

Wrong!!!!! You can tell what type of a person is by the company they keep. The fact she was with Hawk shows how shitty a person Moon really is.

@@MrParkerman6 no bruh. She left hawk when he became a bully. She dated him when he was a good guy

She’s a hippie who thinks violence can never be the answer, which is bullshit

@@2kmichaeljordan438 I see that, but by the way violence has been shown throughout the valley and the harm that it's done, you see and understand how she feels about it. She knows it's necessary for self defense and whether you're in a tournament, but that doesn't mean she has to like violence or accept it whenever it happens, like if someone is using violence in the wrong manner, like starting fights or bullying people, which is what Hawk did.

Alright! We got another one.

@@huskylovermadguy9272 Yes, Season 3 was pretty good.

Yes

MyWhiteVanIsAWonderland }, lol most of the people in the miyagi dojo don’t even like Sam, That’s why no one but Robby intervenes when Sam was getting her ass kicked

@@agnikaineverdies7646 u cant say that nobody likes her and nobody else stepped in because they were fighting other members of cobra kai and where in that whole fight did sam get her ass kicked was one up on tori the entire time and came out on top clearly u just as blind as u are dumb

Danny Chochello, Sam was getting her ass kicked in the beginning of the fight when Tory was punching her ribs, no one but Robby and Miguel intervened which means that no one gave a shit. Everyone was totally fine with letting Tory kill her till Miguel and Robby got involved Sam is an unlikable bitch, she’s ugly, no one likes her and she deserves to die

Man thts bcuz she want everything to be based all around her n ya kno why cuz she the princess of hoes

Awais Akhtar Bois Daniel wasn’t as bad as that bitch in the karate kid.

Awais Akhtar Bois haha

Agreed, fuck the Larussos!

Topgun God it’s their because there is more than one making it a them which equals their

Topgun God it is. Why do you care. It’s just a damn comment anyway. English nerd 🤓.

I mean they’re kinda right like it’s a tv show that doesn’t have much importance tbh. Though making fun of you was wrong they should have just told you that they weren’t interested

@@shilpinitin6392 ok just because its a TV show doesnt mean were not gonna have emotions through it

She almost had it which pisses me off. But then after her talk with Daniel she really got it in her head that she is a good guy, despite all the crap she's done for the past months and now I don't think she'll ever grow.

Right??the only way the writers can let her grow is by her admiting all her wrong decisions..all long as she thinks she's miss right, she'll never grow from the bitch she is

thats a small ass hand

You really think she has that much deepness? I would say her deepnesses is like a dry mountain who reaches the atmosphere

Thanks! Glad you enjoy them. There's a lot of good stuff on the channel so be sure to check them all.

@@watchparty1 dude im going to tell u something there are alot of things ur wrong about and u like all these other blind idiots are looking at one person and one situation....instead of everyone and every situation u act like everyone else is an angel and sam is the devil...tell me something when miguel fought dirty in the tournament was he being an angel , when hawk stole the medal of honor was he being and angel...when miguel didnt push san off of him when she kissed him, was hawk being an angel when he turned his back on his best friend and tried to have him jumped....so u are very wrong there dude everyone in there own way is responsible for everything that happend....not just one....so maybe u should think about that before u try to put everything on one person....because everyone is responsible....

Tory started the fight but Samantha started the drama, meaning Samantha technically started the fight.

@@JoshCarpio1011 nope. Only Tory is responsible.

@@alejandromelendez1609 no

@@mozyluvsu yup

True

Big facts

Yes. They're both assholes and honestly Daniel is acting more like a Cobra Kai than a Miyagi-Do. Miyagi would be ashamed. Hopefully that changes later though.

Theodore Tiernan, the only asshole is Daniel

@@agnikaineverdies7646 Nah

She takes plenty of responsibility for her mistakes in my opinion. She was the one who held herself accountable for the school fight and decided to organize a fundraiser to help Miguel. She also held herself accountable for Demetri’s arm getting broken.

Miguel does.

@@terrierislander1 Miguel is my favorite, for obvious reasons, but he kinda stupid (to be fair, he is 17) if he wants Sam after having Tory for a while. I like to think Tory and Miguel can relate better to each other then Sam and Miguel ever could. Tory is right there with Miguel on the journey of life, and Sam is in the clouds because Mandy and Danny put her there, with all their money. I say Tory and Miguel actually know each other. Miguel only knows the side of Sam that she wants him to see. He never saw how she treated her folks or her friends or even his friends. Also, she had no regard for Miguel's feelings in S1, E9. She just brought Robby along and thought everything would be okay, considering how suspicious she was being, with Robby hanging around the house a lot, and Robby met the family before Miguel... Also, radio silence from Sam the whole damn day (shouldn't have been with Yasmin) and what did she think was gonna happen? Bottom line is: even with how far gone Tory is, Miguel's still better off with Tory than Sam.

@@shady_the_one I see your point, but not sure Miguel sees all of Tory yet. We only seen her in one season, also does Miguel know she stole the alcohol at the country club? What do we still have to find out about her?

@@shady_the_one Also Miguel may be one of the ones to bring Sam down to Earth, and what we know of Tory not sure she has much to give Miguel. I also do not see love from her but Lust. There is a difference.

@@terrierislander1 Miguel seems to do that a lot: he keeps Tory from the dark, Sam from being conceited, Hawk from being even more ruthless than he already is, Johnny from just offing himself, Miguel really is the glue that holds everything together. But we know Tory is able to go to a place where in Miguel's words "someplace where you need a fake ID" so he at least knows she's capable of breaking the rules and getting away with it. As far as the worst, he has seen it it the fight.

Tory is the only one who got away with the consequences of her actions

Agreed!

SIMP

Thanks!

She literally told Yasmin not to use her phone while driving and your logic also doesn’t make her responsible for the crash

I HATED how Daniel acted in the tournament. In the previous episode, he kicked Robby out of his life for not telling him that he came out of Johnny's dick. Then, when he sees that Robby has a shot at beating the Cobra Kais in the tournament, he suddenly starts acting like world's best sensei, and wants everything to do with Robby. In other words, he's using him in his petty vendetta with Johnny. It's no different to the next episode, when Kreese tries to buy his way into Cobra Kai by repairing Johnny's trophy and apologising. Fucker had 34 YEARS to do that. Johnny should've said no.

@@alexvaughan1013 true

I think the word your looking for is "bigot" to describe Daniel in a one word.

@@private_channel235 I wouldn’t say bigot tbh

For sure. Be sure to check out all 3 videos on Sam. There's a lot to cover.

Sam is not the worst character.

I agree

Same here. Hopefully the show makes her faults intentional and gives her good character development. I never hated her but as the same time I wouldn’t want to associate with her. She seems like a fair weather friend and doesn’t keep good company.

Stone Licht this comment is cringe

Stone Licht your not the only oooooone

Getting cyber bullied and orchestrated in school because of a stupid rumour after almost getting sexually harassed is pretty much a sob story

@@blank3078 she was never a bully

@@blank3078 the worst thing she did was cheat on Robby and that's not bullying, she was never a bully. You are watering down the meaning of the word bully

@@blank3078 says someone with a pfp of a bully

@@blank3078 There is a difference between being a bully and being an asshole kid

so... she's a pick me 16 year old who clearly doesn't think she did anything wrong that ass whopping Tory put on her in school was funny.

Thank you. I always felt like that was an overlooked joke.

Yeah but to be fair, Tory was trying to badly hurt her or worse. Robbie, on the other hand, didn’t have a reason to do what he did to Miguel since he was showing him mercy. But I don’t like anyone from Miyagi-do anyways

I think we can cut Sam some slack for that one seeing as Tory was trying to MURDER her at the time.

@@Wright805 she wasnt trying to murder her if she was to try so why didnt she go to juvie huh

I can sort of understand where you are coming from with Danny, but how do the Miyagi Do kids cheat. It’s always Kobra Kai that starts the fights (unless your name is Sam Larusso

@@sandwich434 Excuse me, may be concept about "computer cheaters"from MiyagiDo is better. Sam LaRusso is girl, this is a fact, but she beats 👊💥 five big boys ( she and Robby vs Hawk and his fighters. One of Hawk's company was a big black guy, who then moved to MiyagiDo. He is one stronger than Sam and Robby together). It's unrealistic. This serial is excellent, no doubt, but women here are stronger than men. It's a first. At second, Tory is better than Sam like a fighter. But Sam wins. In this serial always girls become a winner. It's a feminization. However, Johnny Lawrence jeers on this modern tendentions. At third, Hawk's defeat to Demetriy. Demetriy is blabber and provocer, he has't an experience in sparrings. He run out of Hawk the half time of the last fight and became a winner at the end. It's a wonder, after his victory Demetriy looked like Harry Potter who get his first letter from Hogwarts. " You are wizard, Demetriy". They all like a "computer cheaters", they must to won according the script. But I ( may be not only me) always see the "cobras" is better fighters. And at the end the person of Robby Keene. In real life the boys from problem families don't look like a copy of young Leo DeCaprio. Robby has the problems ( in the first stage, I hope) with drugs, he is stealing. In real life he could be even a not bad streetfighter. And all this meditations and eastern dancing for young criminal are rubbish. I don't know about USA, but in Russia young drug addicts from poor family looks are not so beautiful ( may be only in the first stage). And I don't believe the character of Robby Keene all this serial. The idea of the Johnny's son is excellent, but realization makes me spit. The developing of this character must be a more difficult and dramatic than meditations and oriental dancing. And it's makes this "sweet Robby" so unrealictic. P. S. It's only my opinion. However, it's my favorite serial. Forgive me please for my language.

Beg your pardon but that's the point, she was trying to get both sides to make peace by inviting them both (i.e. not showing favouritism) to a neutral ground. She only noticed Hawk AFTER she'd kissed Piper.

Must be a Tory fan , your comment is the dumbest

Yes definitely a teenage girl who have done some mistakes is worse than a 70+ year old man who spends most of his life ruining others life, manipulating kids, vandalizing, etc:- whatta a joke.

@@Aobix That's exactly what Samantha does: ruining lives around her. She'll surpass Kreese at this pace, she started earlier in life after all. Also, unlike Kreese who became a jerk after going through horrible experiences in Vietnam, she has no excuse for being this awful aside from her own narcisism and self centeredness

@@fanofgodjimindiva2497 All I read now just now is just lies...lies and lies.

@@fanofgodjimindiva2497 Ruining lives? You are 7 or something . Whose life did she ruin, did she train and corrupt kids like Kreese did. Come to talk after growing brain cells if you have any

I agree with everything except I wouldn't say she always has good intentions. I do think she is selfish a lot.

Yeah I say she has good intentions because of a couple things. When Daniel was telling her he was going to open Miyagi do karate to fight against Cobra Kai, she said she didn’t want to fight them because she had friends that were Cobra Kai. Also, she defending Dimitri in the mall was a sign of good intentions. Protecting someone that couldn’t fight. Not for personal gain. Lastly, she was going to tell Robbie about her kiss with Miguel until the school bell rang. She’s just flawed like anyone else is in their own ways. Just some of my thoughts

For sure.

Krume Tasev Basically they're human beigns with flaws.

America, Johnny has no flaws

Juan Douglas He is the most flawed

J-Mii, no daniel has and the miyagi do’s have the most flaws

Not Miguel’s mom, she’s the best one!

What you just said didn't make much sense.

“She had PTSD, though.”

I was watching that scene thinking how she could have done something

A slot?

She is annoying but that doesn’t give u the right to slut shame!

@@divergentxmen283 yes it does

He knows better than staying with a psycho like Tory

Will Smith owns some of the rights from the remake movie. Thus, he's listed as an executive producer. He doesn't actually do any of the writing.

Anyone providing money can be executive producer for anything. If I paid for the Coors that William drinks on the show, my name would be in the credits.

I love your take on Sam's "It's all my fault" in the hospital. And yes I don't think any of it has really hit her. I imagine that will be early in season 3.

It was blatantly clear that most of it was shock. The fight at the high school was legally mainly tory along with hawks fault and at the end of the day - the law is the only thing that matters

The3gr8 king trans4mable bumble bee, first of all that has nothing to do with this video And 2 Daniel was the bully, Johnny doesn’t need redemption
