Cobra Kai: 10 Insane Details You Definitely Missed
6. Bananarama
When Daniel is preparing breakfast during Season 1, he asks his kids if they're ready for Bananarama Chocolate Chip Pancakes. In any other show, this may be a throwaway line but Cobra Kai manage to stuff in-jokes everywhere, even when the characters are talking about breakfast!
This line is a reference to the British pop band, Bananarama. Their song, Cruel Summer, was used in The Karate Kid in the scene where Daniel rides his bike to school. A remixed version of the song also plays in the last episode of Season 2. Bananarama may not be as big as it once was but the band is still going to this day, which is incredible after over 40 years.
If you are a big fan of Bananarama but didn't get the reference, you're not the only one. Mary Mouser, who plays Sam, admitted she didn't get the joke for over a year!
But the real question is 'Are Bananarama Chocolate Chip Pancakes a real thing?' And the answer is... yes. Mary Mouser shows viewers how to make them on her YouTube channel.
