  • Cobra Kai (after previously debuting on YouTube Premium) is now streaming its second season on Netflix.

  • The series picks up 34 years after the events of the movie The Karate Kid.

  • As the series became a streaming sensation, here are the best memes reflecting the hype.

Cobra Kai, the intellectual property you left in the 80s, scoffed at in 2010, and ignored on YouTube Premium for the last two years, is now back on Netflix kicking you in the face with nostalgia. Oh, it hurts so good.

And since you're already done with two seasons of catching up with both Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) and Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio), you might just be in that inevitable postpartum TV vacuum of loneliness and moral confusion (Barney was right!). That means it's time to embrace the endless recursive possibilities of the internet: watching memes that refer to the show you love, and then watching memes that refer to the memes of the show you love. Nothing good ever dies, son. (Also, the original films are available now on the Showtime Anytime app for extra recursion.)

Thankfully you won't be stuck in this loop too long, as the series officially wrapped filming its third season in December. Netflix has confirmed that Season 3 will drop next year. That's 2021. (Yes, 2020 is supposed to end eventually.)

But until then, let's enjoy the loop for a bit. God knows we've all needed a good distraction.

Here are 21 of the funniest Cobra Kai memes circulating on Twitter.
