"Cobra Kai! Please take it from the top."
Tanner Buchanan has given fans plenty of memorable moments in his performances, but if you haven't
seen some of his best off-screen moments from "Cobra Kai" and "He's All That," you're
seriously missing out. Here are the best Tanner Buchanan bloopers that make us love him even more.
In "He's All That," Buchanan's Cameron Kweller
is a sardonic soul until he starts spending time with Padgett Sawyer.
Considering how much of a presence social media has throughout the events of "He's All That,"
the cast of the film got to have a lot of fun channeling their inner influencer on the social
media site. And while Cameron might not be the biggest fan of live streaming his every move,
Buchanan got a social media hit in perhaps the funniest unscripted nugget of all.
During production on the early scene with Jordan Van Draanan's big music video shoot,
the cast pulled off the ultimate surprise when Buchanan swapped
costumes with one of the backup dancers to surprise Peyton Meyer.
"I'm pretty method though. I'm pretty method." "Yeah you look hot."
One of the first scenes that shows how Cameron starts to lift his social guard around Padgett
comes when they find themselves at a pool party. After she struggles to find her rhythm at karaoke,
he jumps in to lend a hand. Naturally, the process of filming this lighthearted scene
gave way to some off-camera levity, and Buchanan didn't hold back while the crew set up the scene.
Of course, that wasn't the only time Buchanan got extra cheesy in the film's outtakes; while
filming a car ride scene for the film, he also broke character to have some fun for the cameras.
In one outtake from "Cobra Kai," Buchanan really goes for it when his on-again, off-again rival,
Xolo Maridueña's Miguel Diaz, confronts him during a seemingly peaceful outdoor dinner
party. Maridueña, to his credit, really gets this blooper going,
but both actors' commitment to the bit only makes them that much more endearing.
"What the f---, Tan? I thought we had something."
"Are you that dude that was hugging my dad? Are you kidding me right now?" "Don't hug my dad."
We're not sure which dojo they learned that fighting style from, but one thing is clear:
on set, Buchanan has a ton of fun with his co-stars.
"Cobra Kai" might be centered around high-stakes,
dramatic fights between karate champions from opposing dojos, but off-screen,
it seems like the stakes are a little lower... or at least, there's more room to goof around.
"I started too early. We're good."
In one blooper from a training scene with Daniel's daughter Samantha LaRusso,
the two are gently landing hits when one of them obviously messes up.
That's not the only time Mouser and Buchanan get a laugh out of each other on set, though.
Far from it. And sometimes when you mess up a take, the only thing to do is hug it out.
Technology is all around us - and sometimes, that technology betrays us. During a Season 2 episode
of Cobra Kai, Robby and his father Johnny have a heart-to-heart in a hardware store.
It's a serious scene, and an important dialogue between these characters.
"So instead you're gonna torture me by training with that little prick?"
"Hey, you don't know Mr. LaRusso. He is a better man than you will ever be."
It's obvious that neither of these actors are phoning it in…although someone on set sure is.
"Alright, he's a better man than you will ever be. That's a nice phone, I like it."
Sometimes the funniest bloopers are ones that happen in the background of
an otherwise successful scene. In one moment where Daniel is talking to some potential new
recruits to Miyagi Do, Robby and Sam are walking into view just behind the star...
until everything goes wrong in the most hilarious way.
"Sure."
"It's a Monday."
Mary Mouser, who plays Sam, is no stranger to physical bloopers on the "Cobra Kai" set,
and it seems like Buchanan can't help but crack up no matter how many times she loses her footing.
Of all the skills students learn at the Miyagi Do school of karate you'd think that exterminating
flies would be part of the curriculum. Apparently, it's not. As a series of bloopers shows,
the Cobra Kai cast just couldn't get away from the bugs – and Buchanan seemed to find it hilarious.
"Yeah, where's the chopsticks?"
