...Was this scene supposed to be funny?
I mean yeah, haha, there's a grown man in his underwear, but this scene always made me unbelievably sad as a kid. I felt so bad for this poor guy, Arnold was such a dick.
I guess "conflicting emotions: the thread" if there are any other examples you guys have.
You're SUPPOSED to feel bad for him, Anon. What makes you think you're supposed to laugh at the poor guy? It was to show Arnold's taken things too far.

pretty sure it was meant to be sad/pathetic while still being a little bit funny. ever heard of dark comedy?
>>92396225
Why the hell else would they make his clothes rip off? Arnold should have given him a black eye or something if they wanted that tone.
Oh look, another thread involving confusion about basic human emotions.

what do you expect from a board filled with autists
it's a weird part of 4chan culture where people make threads like "TELL ME HOW I'M SUPPOSED TO FEEL ABOUT THIS"

This, karate isn't about stripping people.

it's pretty hot though that dude is THICC

it wasn't supposed to be funny at all. you're supposed to feel bad for the guy and 2nd hand guilt over arnold's decision. thats why the message of humility and mindfulness is so potent because this scene elicits an extremely powerful empathy and really makes you understand abuse of power

the underwear showing and the overall pathetic nature of the scene was intended to keep the viewer from feeling TOO bad, which is dark comedy. finding something funny in a dark situation. i also think they wanted to avoid showing actual violence so they showed the dude's clothes ripping rather than some kind of injury.

maybe. i think your right about violence but i never felt any humor from that part, and thats subjective i know but seeing this grown man reduced to just a naked, crying puddle now forced to wander the streets at night alone and being treated that way just made me feel so damn sad anon.... i'm making myself feel sad now by talking about it

You may be a pussy

Haven't seen this ep. Which is it? Worth a watch?
Also I think Spongebob had a similar ep where Squidward learns karate. Wonder if it was inspired by this.

It'll only take you 11 minutes to watch

I'm still wondering how a bunch of chops and punches that didn't even seem to hurt the guy managed to shred his clothes.
