The Karate Kid (1984)

This is a two-panel comparison meme that satirizes a common overused trope in inspirational media. The top panel uses a still from the 2010 *The Karate Kid* film showing the antagonist Cheng, a highly skilled martial artist who has trained his whole life, captioned 'Villain who practised all his life.'. The bottom panel uses a still of the film's protagonist Dre Parker, played by Jaden Smith, in a kung fu competition pose, captioned 'Hero who did a two month crash course.'. The joke highlights the unrealistic plot device where the underdog hero with minimal, short-term training easily defeats a far more experienced, lifelong practitioner antagonist that logically should win the fight.

This is a single panel meme that repurposes a famous scene from the 1984 live-action film *The Karate Kid*. The overlaid text at the top of the image reads 'Me after catching a mosquito mid-flight with one hand.' The lower overlaid text, assigned to the character Mr. Miyagi in the scene, is a modified version of his iconic line, reading 'Wax on, wax off. MF.' The comedic effect comes from drawing a parallel between the surprisingly impressive mundane feat of catching a flying mosquito with one hand and the rigorous, skill-building 'wax on, wax off' karate training Mr. Miyagi teaches the protagonist Daniel LaRusso, framing the small everyday win as a major, earned achievement that feels as satisfying as mastering a karate skill.
