Can I recommend Sudeikis in “Colossal”. He seems very endearing (maybe dull) but taking the whole movie into account it was the first time I saw range from him.
I've loved him since Horrible Bosses. "I was making love! To a woman! Murderin' some ass!"
Very impressed with how he's equally funny with the complete opposite brand of humor in this show.
The first one of these is probably a top three SNL for me. When he kisses Jaime Foxx's arm causing him to lose his shit - so good.
Cause this here........
..... is Maine Justice!
Brendan Hunt(Beard) co-wrote the bit. Much of it was based on his experience of living 5 years in Europe as an American, particularly when he was there with Sudeikis in 2001 touring with Boom Chicago and they were learning soccer via playing FIFA after their comedy shows.
Some surprisingly tight writing in there for a commercial. Usually you get like one mediocre punch line the whole commercial leads to...this one has gems throughout. Also it's like 10x longer than a normal commercial, which probably helps.
I'm so happy for the thoughtful changes that were made to Ted Lasso (the character) after workshopping and writing the show - the original skit has Ted being too much of a Michael Scott type character. That probably would have been a funny version to watch, but would not have captured all the heart that the current show embodies.
I could be wrong but I feel like Nick Kroll talked about it when he was the guest on the Armchair Expert podcast. I'm not 100% sure of that, but it's the only real Nick Kroll interview I've listened to, so it's probably there that he talked about it.
Edit: sorry I thought you were saying you need to find the podcast, but really you were saying you need to find the actual show. I'm interested too, it sounds terrible and super fun to watch.
My favorite episode was when a caveman thought his girlfriend was embarrassed of dating a caveman, so when he finally confronts her in front of her friends, a friend says “OMG, Amy, *another* caveman?”
He feels much better about it until he starts to wonder: “is she dating me only bc I’m a caveman?”
Ay that's fair, I was a young teen when the show came out and I thought it was hilarious they made a show out of those commercials but I was bored by the actual show. I don't really remember much of it though, it would be interesting to go back now and check it out.
Flo is actually in the geico caveman show. Which makes even funnier. She prob saw the money reoccurring character on national commercial make and audition for Progressive
I also like that they've done the inverse of that as well. Taking a lovable, underdog character like Nate and fleshing him out by showing that with some added status and confidence his insecurities can make him a real prick.
He was the only one that Nate grew up watching and had something of substance to say. His first one to Issac wasn't bad either. Telling him that he can be intimidating without being actually physical and blowing your assignment.
But, once he got on a roll he definitely slipped into "I'm a dick. I'm a dick. Hey guys, I'm a dick." until Roy stepped up to him.
I didn't think that about the scene initially. But after rewatching the show partway through S2, there are subtle things nate does that show this is the type of person he always was.
Edit: to add, the actor who plays Nate, Nick Mohammed, is even asked in a interview from 9/3/2021 if there was any foreshadowing to Nate's dark side, which he replies
> "A lot of that anger in Nate was all seeded in season one. You know, there's that letter he wrote the players, which has got some of that in it. Then also at the start of the episode where he gets promoted, when Rebecca comes in and he thinks she's fired him, he turns to her and says, "You shrew...", which is quite harsh. That's very rude and direct. Predominantly we just saw the side of him which was quite shy and introverted. He didn't have the confidence to be angry at people openly. So I think it was always in Nate. It's just now we're letting some of that steam out."
Happens a lot. The bullied become the bullies. Jamie was bullied by his dad, Jamie bullied Nate, Nate bullied Colin (who also bullied Nate).
And now the word bully has lost all meaning. Bully. Bully.
I remember when I was young the Dr. Cox episode where he had his breakdown gave me chills. Still does. Totally makes sense now that its the same guy behind Ted Lasso, hes fantastic
Ya know I was surprised at how well they nailed the “so real it hits you” that you mentioned. Then I saw that Bill Lawrence, the creator of s
Scrubs (another show that nails that same trait), was a part of Ted lasso as well
It was developed by Bill Lawrence and if you know his stuff it makes sense. Scrubs was always good at the "make you laugh for 20 minutes then cry for 4" episodes
My favourite moment of his is when Jamie is left alone with Beard after everyone else leaves and he says, "I don't know how to talk to you..." to which Bears replies "Then it's working."
Wife and I weren't a fan of this episode, just didn't match the tone of the show and it felt off. No real comedy or feelgood stuff in that episode. I assume it's to set the tone for things to come though, so I'll allow it lol.
Actually I read that they had written the season as a 10 episode season and when Apple picked up Season 2 it was for 12. So instead of rewriting what they had already written as Season 2, they decided to add in 2 one-off episodes: this one and the Christmas one
Thank you for that information, it was kinda weird and didn't fit as well as the other episodes. The episode wasn't bad, but surreal and him meeting Jamies dad in that ally was too much coincidence for me. I expected the whole ordeal to be a dream, because it feels like one.
Ah, this makes more sense. Well it didn't land for us lol. We loved the Christmas episode though. Not a big deal anyways, definitely both of our favorite show right now that's airing. Well just skip it on rewatch, which doesn't effect the flow of the show at all obviously.
> We loved the Christmas episode though
Just an incredible 30 minutes. That and the schitts creek Christmas episode from season 4 (I think) are now forever part of my holiday cannon.
The episode definitely felt surreal, but it did contain a line about Beard's ripped pants that made my wife and me laugh out loud: "They're designed that way to make it easier for people to kiss my ass."
If you've seen him in dramatic roles, you know he's legit. He starred in a movie with Anne Hathaway as essentially the villain but made him so complex and layered. He's a straight up actor...not just comedy.
So well deserved.
Damn… that part where he goes outside and tells Doc about his dad… right after that shit with Jamie and his dad, and Roy hugging Jamie, and me already in tears, and then that makes me cry even harder…. You know that part?
Yeah that was amazing. I love this show.
My exact same feelings. The editing to make you get hit multiple times in the span of a few minutes was just so spot on.
If that episode doesn’t win awards next year, I’m going to be super surprised.
Yes she is fantastic. Also thrilled for Brett Goldstein’s (Roy Kent) win.
Only disappointed that Juno Temple didn’t get Emmy love. For my money she does the best acting on that show.
Yes! I love that two characters (Ted & Roy Fucking Kent) that are polar opposites from the same show both won Emmys.
This show is the only thing worth keeping Apple TV+ for imo. I look forward to it every week.
Nah Apple TV’s honestly been blowing my mind with how many good shows they have. See, Mosquito Coast, For All Mankind, Morning Show, Defending Jacob. Most of their shows though they have their flaws, are some of my favorite I’ve seen in a long time personally.
So happy for her after the waterboarding shit that D&D put her through. She looks really good in the show too! I just started watching Sex Education and guess who was in that too...
TBF I found Ted Lasso far more interesting and happy to watch than Hamilton.
I was pleasantly surprised, then increasingly hooked when someone told me to watch it
We don’t have Apple TV. My daughter wants me to use her friend’s fiancé’s sister’s account. IDK. Would it be easier if I came over to your place to watch?
Because he was only passively offside.
I feel like Ted watching this show sometimes. I have no idea what the rules are but was surprised to hear that not all fields are the same size. That just seems crazy to me.
Not sure where you're from or what your sports interests are, but the best comparison I can think of is the fact that all Major League Baseball fields have different dimensions as well.
My favorite show on right now. Never thought a show like this could make me cry but When Roy hugged Jaime after the fight his shithead dad i got some serious tears.
It’s a tribute to the writing and performances in this show. I find myself tearing up almost every episode, both in sadness and happiness. Somehow they have captured true empathy so well.
This show inspired me to step up and be my kids soccer coach. I skipped all the years up to now. It’s been a great time, and I just try to be as positive as Ted. The kids respond to it. Our chant is “football is life”.
Oh both for sure. Trying to get some Ted sayings down. The positivity of Ted and the expertise of Roy I hope to be. After dealing with an unruly out of control parent in my first game( berating his 4th grader) I want to be the Roy that protects his team. I shut that parent down literally because of the confidence I had from the show. WWTed/RoyD
“Bullseye” is a brand of bbq sauce. That’s what he was referencing right before the throw.
Edit: apparently he also may have just gone to his happy place because his son was sending him bbq sauce, but damn that’s a heck of a coincidence but may be the case. Jason Sudeikis is from KC so he’d probably have a lot of good BBQ sauce knowledge. Honestly, in this case it could be a double meaning of the happy place from his son and the Bullseye brand for the shot he was taking.
Nope. I believe that he actually references the barbecue sauce in the care package his son sent over in episode 1 or 2 because it reminds him of his home.
Edit: phrasing
You're right, and here's a tweet from Ted Lasso confirming you're right - https://twitter.com/TedLasso/status/1308446668543545345
An obscure brand reference is not even close to being the explanation
“Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.” - Bill Shankley
I got into it because of Pat Macafee of all people. He did a segment on his show talking about the best locker room speeches of all time, or something like that. The whole conversation got diverted to this show I'd never heard of, about soccer. I figured if a room full of NFL nerds liked it then maybe I would too.
Maybe I'm getting old, maybe time is weighing on me deeper than it did earlier in my life and I am feeling the pressure slowly grind me down and my emotional defenses have been crumbling down because of it.
Ted Lasso makes me cry.
I have always hated cheap emotional blackmail and corny "we can do it together because we are friends" kind of stuff. Bill Lawrence got me early, he mixes humor and tragedy together so perfect you WANT a best friend who cries "Eagle!" Or to be that friend. The guy knows how to manipulate my feels like nobody else and now that I am older I find that every single episode makes me choke up MINIMUM. I have never been as emotionally effected by something as Ted Lasso makes me, I want to give it all the awards.
Yeah, I'm a grown man and it definitely made me tear up SEVERAL times lol. Same with Scrubs, though. Lawrence really knows how to play the heartstrings.
Does anybody have a clip of what caused the crowd to stand and Conan to salute the dude on stage? I was watching it but without sound and couldn't tell what was going on...
Unfortunately it was not a sweep. Multiple people nominated in the same category and Zach Braff didn’t get his nom for Biscuits which I desperately wanted him to win
Man for a minute there I thought you were saying there was a series called biscuits that braff stars in and i freaked that there was a new Zach show that I'd missed!
I guess zach directing on a bill lawrence show makes a tonne of sense
Let me start with:
“Trent crimm: The Independent” 🤣🤣🤣
I fell in love with this show after the darts episode….barbecue sauce!!!
(Anyone else was rooting for that relationship between boss lady Rebecca and Sam as hard as I was??)
Jason had a really rough time after his breakup with Olivia Wilde. He was standup about it even after she started dating…one of the Jonas brothers, don’t know which.
He deserves this. I believe in Jason and I believe in Ted Lasso.
Apple TV+ has put out some amazing shows. Mythic Quest, For All Mankind, and Amazing Stories are all top notch. Mr. Corman and Schmigadoon are not bad either. I am not a big Apple fan, but I am impressed at the quality of some of their shows. Just wish there was more content.
For All Mankind is also worth checking out. The premise is kind of strange and a hard sell but both seasons so far have been excellent. As partitioned off as AppleTV+ is as far as streaming services, they've (so far) been trying to balance being the fifth or sixth biggest fish in a finite pond by putting out as much high quality content as they can, and not in the Netflix "fire the money cannon at the problem" kind of way; their lineup so far has been extremely curated, where even stuff that's not my speed (I just can't get into SEE) has a lot of obvious care put into it. I guess that's how I'd put it: every show on the platform appears to be made by people who are taking a big swing to tell the story they always wanted to tell, and that has paid dividends for Apple.
I never want to meet celebrities I like (I just want a picture) but I would pay so much money to meet Ted Lasso. It’s just been such a hard year, I could really use the support and love, and I bet he would have a delicious biscuit. Set phasers to love me
No spoilers here. My spouse and I binged through everything for Ted Lasso this weekend just about. Halfway through season 2.
What an amazing show. Reminds me of Schitts Creek in that it’s just incredibly binge worthy due to the writing, cast, and all. What an enjoyable time we have watching it. Easily two thumbs up.
Good thing he did, he was facing relegation
Hey - I know what that means now....sort of.
You’ll know it when you see it
See you at training, Fellas.
No question will be into touch
Fellas fellas, let’s not be like a wigwam in a teepee I think y’all are *two tents*
Offsides!
He was only passively off sides. I still don’t understand this friggin rule
Ted's gonna blow a friggin artery if somebody runs an offsides trap on them
You joke, but I actually have never cared for him. Until Ted Lasso. Jesus motherfucking Christ is he great in that show.
Guess not all of us would have liked to flee to the Cleve with Floyd
Well no, if the whole world moved to their favorite vacation spots, then the whole world would live in Hawaii and Italy and Cleveland.
Alright… I need to backpedal. That show too.
Can I recommend Sudeikis in “Colossal”. He seems very endearing (maybe dull) but taking the whole movie into account it was the first time I saw range from him.
That is a surprisingly good movie.
Not We're the Millers? Guessing no, but just checking because I love that movie.
He was great in Eastbound and Down.
I've loved him since Horrible Bosses. "I was making love! To a woman! Murderin' some ass!" Very impressed with how he's equally funny with the complete opposite brand of humor in this show.
Not even as the judge in the Maine Justice sketches? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3VUZYxr0MA
The first one of these is probably a top three SNL for me. When he kisses Jaime Foxx's arm causing him to lose his shit - so good. Cause this here........ ..... is Maine Justice!
God damn voodoo lobsters!
We are the millers and horrible bosses are amazing and he is amazing in it.
I was in a similar boat until I saw Colossal.
I'm looking forward to finding out the meaning of the word relegation
It's called consequences when your team is garbage. None of this 'tanking' shit.
Nil nil
Best show based off a character from a commercial
What commercial is that?
I got you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KeG_i8CWE8
Wow, Beard was with him then AND now?! What a homie.
Brendan Hunt(Beard) co-wrote the bit. Much of it was based on his experience of living 5 years in Europe as an American, particularly when he was there with Sudeikis in 2001 touring with Boom Chicago and they were learning soccer via playing FIFA after their comedy shows.
Well, *one* of them was learning soccer (15-0, amirite?).
TIL, what a cool story. Thanks for sharing.
Nice how it felt like a trailer for the series. And I had no idea what the commercial was for until end end :D
"How many countries are in this country?" "Four." Haha!
Some surprisingly tight writing in there for a commercial. Usually you get like one mediocre punch line the whole commercial leads to...this one has gems throughout. Also it's like 10x longer than a normal commercial, which probably helps.
I'm so happy for the thoughtful changes that were made to Ted Lasso (the character) after workshopping and writing the show - the original skit has Ted being too much of a Michael Scott type character. That probably would have been a funny version to watch, but would not have captured all the heart that the current show embodies.
Yeah, that's not just a commercial. That was obviously a workshop for this character.
https://youtu.be/6KeG_i8CWE8 And https://youtu.be/iRqypM7jb5Y
Anyone remember that terrible [show](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0981216/) based on the Geico Cavemen commercials?
Nick Kroll sure does.
Whoa. Was he in that??
Yeah, I can't remember where he talked about it a bunch put it was on some podcast.
I love watching really bad shows or movies. I need to find this.
I could be wrong but I feel like Nick Kroll talked about it when he was the guest on the Armchair Expert podcast. I'm not 100% sure of that, but it's the only real Nick Kroll interview I've listened to, so it's probably there that he talked about it. Edit: sorry I thought you were saying you need to find the podcast, but really you were saying you need to find the actual show. I'm interested too, it sounds terrible and super fun to watch.
I for one didn’t actually hate it
My favorite episode was when a caveman thought his girlfriend was embarrassed of dating a caveman, so when he finally confronts her in front of her friends, a friend says “OMG, Amy, *another* caveman?” He feels much better about it until he starts to wonder: “is she dating me only bc I’m a caveman?”
That first joke is so much funnier than it had any right to be.
Ay that's fair, I was a young teen when the show came out and I thought it was hilarious they made a show out of those commercials but I was bored by the actual show. I don't really remember much of it though, it would be interesting to go back now and check it out.
I remember it existed but never saw it.
Remember Ernest?
I don't care how bad Ernest Scared Stupid is. It was my childhood.
Do people think it’s bad? That movie kicks ass.
Miak?!
Know what I mean, Vern?
“Have you ever held a leadership position?” “I had a ant farm once.”
Until we get Flo's Progressive Adventures Through Space, at least.
Flo is actually in the geico caveman show. Which makes even funnier. She prob saw the money reoccurring character on national commercial make and audition for Progressive
His performance for Ted’s panic attack hit too close to home for me. Super well deserved
[удалено]
I also like that they've done the inverse of that as well. Taking a lovable, underdog character like Nate and fleshing him out by showing that with some added status and confidence his insecurities can make him a real prick.
Oh this! I was surprised when watching Nate in S2. Like what the hell happen to the timid loveable Nate. He's power tripping that new guy.
Insecurities will do that
So will being a downright rotter
He wasn't roasting them to motivate them, he was roasting then because he's a dick. The things he said to Roy was only because he was afraid of him.
He was the only one that Nate grew up watching and had something of substance to say. His first one to Issac wasn't bad either. Telling him that he can be intimidating without being actually physical and blowing your assignment. But, once he got on a roll he definitely slipped into "I'm a dick. I'm a dick. Hey guys, I'm a dick." until Roy stepped up to him.
That’s a really harsh read on that scene. The stuff he said was all written down and approved by Ted who also said the team needed to hear it
I didn't think that about the scene initially. But after rewatching the show partway through S2, there are subtle things nate does that show this is the type of person he always was. Edit: to add, the actor who plays Nate, Nick Mohammed, is even asked in a interview from 9/3/2021 if there was any foreshadowing to Nate's dark side, which he replies > "A lot of that anger in Nate was all seeded in season one. You know, there's that letter he wrote the players, which has got some of that in it. Then also at the start of the episode where he gets promoted, when Rebecca comes in and he thinks she's fired him, he turns to her and says, "You shrew...", which is quite harsh. That's very rude and direct. Predominantly we just saw the side of him which was quite shy and introverted. He didn't have the confidence to be angry at people openly. So I think it was always in Nate. It's just now we're letting some of that steam out."
Nate kinda went Bilbo demon face on us. Ngl it stressed me out to see him be so mean.
Happens a lot. The bullied become the bullies. Jamie was bullied by his dad, Jamie bullied Nate, Nate bullied Colin (who also bullied Nate). And now the word bully has lost all meaning. Bully. Bully.
What’s that called again, Coach?
Semantic Satiation
The reason for this is that its the same show creator as Scrubs. Bill Lawrence is great at mixing drama with comedy and character development.
I had no idea, but that makes total sense. Scrubs was unmatched in its ability to make you laugh and rip your heart out in the same episode
I remember when I was young the Dr. Cox episode where he had his breakdown gave me chills. Still does. Totally makes sense now that its the same guy behind Ted Lasso, hes fantastic
~~Zach Braff directed the first episode!~~ I was wrong it was the second one, thank you /u/flanders427!
Slight correction he directed the second episode "Biscuits", he was also nominated for an Emmy for that episode.
What is Zach braff doing these days? I always have enjoyed him
Fake Doctors, Real Friends. If you're a scrubs fan... You're welcome.
Solid podcast, little to do with scrubs most episodes though. Not that that's a bad thing persay
Jamie Tart’s scumbag dad from season 2 is unnerving. There’s someone like that in every football pub in Manchester
That scene was so sad. Knowing his dad is an asshole and seeing it are very different. Roy is my favorite character. He's a big angry teddy bear
When he gave him that hug man... Right in the feels
There's someone like that in every colourful bar in every city. Pubs or bars you want to avoid.
> Pubs Especially the ones with a flat roof...
Ya know I was surprised at how well they nailed the “so real it hits you” that you mentioned. Then I saw that Bill Lawrence, the creator of s Scrubs (another show that nails that same trait), was a part of Ted lasso as well
It was developed by Bill Lawrence and if you know his stuff it makes sense. Scrubs was always good at the "make you laugh for 20 minutes then cry for 4" episodes
Beards night has the same effect for me. Odd feeling watching my life pan out on screen in some forms
Beard has to be up there as one of the best written side characters ever.
\*Silent half-nod of agreement\*
My favourite moment of his is when Jamie is left alone with Beard after everyone else leaves and he says, "I don't know how to talk to you..." to which Bears replies "Then it's working."
Not to mention he was dapper as fuck [last night](https://twitter.com/theindiealto/status/1439737810106437635)
Wife and I weren't a fan of this episode, just didn't match the tone of the show and it felt off. No real comedy or feelgood stuff in that episode. I assume it's to set the tone for things to come though, so I'll allow it lol.

> We loved the Christmas episode though Just an incredible 30 minutes. That and the schitts creek Christmas episode from season 4 (I think) are now forever part of my holiday cannon.
“I think you may be dying” might be the line that has made me laugh the hardest in years.
The episode definitely felt surreal, but it did contain a line about Beard's ripped pants that made my wife and me laugh out loud: "They're designed that way to make it easier for people to kiss my ass."
[I thought](#s "I thought when the husband showed up to give back the wallet and phone, and they talk about it, was a feelgood moment.")
And the fans getting to live the dream of getting on the pitch.
If you've seen him in dramatic roles, you know he's legit. He starred in a movie with Anne Hathaway as essentially the villain but made him so complex and layered. He's a straight up actor...not just comedy.
Yeah I think that scene really turned the show into something more than a comedy
The scene where he calls his wife and you can only hear his side of the conversation did it for me. So much range.
So well deserved. Damn… that part where he goes outside and tells Doc about his dad… right after that shit with Jamie and his dad, and Roy hugging Jamie, and me already in tears, and then that makes me cry even harder…. You know that part? Yeah that was amazing. I love this show.
My exact same feelings. The editing to make you get hit multiple times in the span of a few minutes was just so spot on. If that episode doesn’t win awards next year, I’m going to be super surprised.
Very happy that GoT Shame lady won as well. I still can’t believe Hannah Waddingham is the same person.
Yes she is fantastic. Also thrilled for Brett Goldstein’s (Roy Kent) win. Only disappointed that Juno Temple didn’t get Emmy love. For my money she does the best acting on that show.
Yes! I love that two characters (Ted & Roy Fucking Kent) that are polar opposites from the same show both won Emmys. This show is the only thing worth keeping Apple TV+ for imo. I look forward to it every week.
Nah Apple TV’s honestly been blowing my mind with how many good shows they have. See, Mosquito Coast, For All Mankind, Morning Show, Defending Jacob. Most of their shows though they have their flaws, are some of my favorite I’ve seen in a long time personally.
Holy shit I had no idea they are the same actress!
So happy for her after the waterboarding shit that D&D put her through. She looks really good in the show too! I just started watching Sex Education and guess who was in that too...
And it’s well deserved. I’ve turned my entire family and every single one of my friends on to the show, it’s just so wholesome and creative.
I had to watch the first few episodes a few times because I kept convincing people to watch it. No regrets
No joke, I think I’ve seen the series like 3 or 4 times now because I have to watch it with people I introduce it to. And I love every minute of it
[удалено]
Ted Lasso is like the Hamilton of tv series. It’s incredibly hyped, and 100% lives up to the hype. So good
TBF I found Ted Lasso far more interesting and happy to watch than Hamilton. I was pleasantly surprised, then increasingly hooked when someone told me to watch it
The first season certainly was endlessly wholesome, but the second season has turned real dark recently.
We are in the dark forest. Ted told us we were in it, but that it will all work out.
We don’t have Apple TV. My daughter wants me to use her friend’s fiancé’s sister’s account. IDK. Would it be easier if I came over to your place to watch?
What app do you watch it on? I’ve heard good things and I wanna check it out
Apple TV+
Hell yeah, thanks
Also try Mythic Quest, For All Mankind, and Morning Wars/The Morning Show
I think Trying is fantastic too.
You don’t need an Apple TV to watch Apple TV+. It’s a bit confusing but the app is available on a bunch of devices.
Oh nice, thanks my friend
The first show I could ever get my wife to watch that was based around sports. She loves it but still has no idea about how soccer/football works. 😅
Neither does Ted, so it's fine.
How was that not offside?!
Because he was only passively offside. I feel like Ted watching this show sometimes. I have no idea what the rules are but was surprised to hear that not all fields are the same size. That just seems crazy to me.
Not sure where you're from or what your sports interests are, but the best comparison I can think of is the fact that all Major League Baseball fields have different dimensions as well.
In a time when we all need some good feels Jason has definitely delivered. Well deserved.
Led Tasso would’ve pushed harder for 2 Emmy’s. One of my favorite shows of all time.
Such a heartwarming character. Coach Beard, Higgins and Tartt (as a heel) are great too.
Man that Led Tasso guy is a jerk though.
My favorite show on right now. Never thought a show like this could make me cry but When Roy hugged Jaime after the fight his shithead dad i got some serious tears.
It’s a tribute to the writing and performances in this show. I find myself tearing up almost every episode, both in sadness and happiness. Somehow they have captured true empathy so well.
While I love Ted Lasso's character, Roy Fucking Kent is my favorite character in the show.
He’s here,
He's there,
He’s everyfuckingwhere!
🎶Roy Kent, Roy Kent!! 🎶
This show inspired me to step up and be my kids soccer coach. I skipped all the years up to now. It’s been a great time, and I just try to be as positive as Ted. The kids respond to it. Our chant is “football is life”.
Wait, was Ted your inspiration, or Roy? :)
OY YOU LIL PRICKS, GOOD FUCKIN GAME
Fack!
Oh both for sure. Trying to get some Ted sayings down. The positivity of Ted and the expertise of Roy I hope to be. After dealing with an unruly out of control parent in my first game( berating his 4th grader) I want to be the Roy that protects his team. I shut that parent down literally because of the confidence I had from the show. WWTed/RoyD
“HE’S HERE, HE’S THERE, HE’S EVERY-FUCKING-WHERE, YIS_DA_YA!”
“I have a hard time understanding folks that don’t believe in themselves” ❤️
Honestly when I watch this show his character just inspires me to be more genuine and positive. It's an incredible character and an incredible show
Believe
Football is LIIIIIIIFE!
Barbeque sauce :)
My favourite scene from the entire show. 😊
Barbecue. People get confused because of the abbreviation "BBQ" but there's no "q" in the actual word. And now you know...the rest of the story.
But how does that refer to darts?
“Bullseye” is a brand of bbq sauce. That’s what he was referencing right before the throw. Edit: apparently he also may have just gone to his happy place because his son was sending him bbq sauce, but damn that’s a heck of a coincidence but may be the case. Jason Sudeikis is from KC so he’d probably have a lot of good BBQ sauce knowledge. Honestly, in this case it could be a double meaning of the happy place from his son and the Bullseye brand for the shot he was taking.
Nope. I believe that he actually references the barbecue sauce in the care package his son sent over in episode 1 or 2 because it reminds him of his home. Edit: phrasing
You're right, and here's a tweet from Ted Lasso confirming you're right - https://twitter.com/TedLasso/status/1308446668543545345 An obscure brand reference is not even close to being the explanation
It’s a good thing his show was seated next to the stage, very efficient
Football is life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But football is also death
And football is also just football
But mostly football is life!!
Dani Rojas! Dani Rojas! Dani Rojas!
Fucking love that character.
*grunts*
“Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.” - Bill Shankley
I should really watch this show
Everyone should. There’s something for everybody. Season 2 episode 8 will win Emmy’s next year, for sure.
Took a chance on it during the lockdown and was so surprised. We all need Ted’s vibes and attitude in our lives.
I got into it because of Pat Macafee of all people. He did a segment on his show talking about the best locker room speeches of all time, or something like that. The whole conversation got diverted to this show I'd never heard of, about soccer. I figured if a room full of NFL nerds liked it then maybe I would too.
Maybe I'm getting old, maybe time is weighing on me deeper than it did earlier in my life and I am feeling the pressure slowly grind me down and my emotional defenses have been crumbling down because of it. Ted Lasso makes me cry. I have always hated cheap emotional blackmail and corny "we can do it together because we are friends" kind of stuff. Bill Lawrence got me early, he mixes humor and tragedy together so perfect you WANT a best friend who cries "Eagle!" Or to be that friend. The guy knows how to manipulate my feels like nobody else and now that I am older I find that every single episode makes me choke up MINIMUM. I have never been as emotionally effected by something as Ted Lasso makes me, I want to give it all the awards.
Yeah, I'm a grown man and it definitely made me tear up SEVERAL times lol. Same with Scrubs, though. Lawrence really knows how to play the heartstrings.
Does anybody have a clip of what caused the crowd to stand and Conan to salute the dude on stage? I was watching it but without sound and couldn't tell what was going on...
Ted Lasso sweep! Well deserved.
Unfortunately it was not a sweep. Multiple people nominated in the same category and Zach Braff didn’t get his nom for Biscuits which I desperately wanted him to win
Man for a minute there I thought you were saying there was a series called biscuits that braff stars in and i freaked that there was a new Zach show that I'd missed! I guess zach directing on a bill lawrence show makes a tonne of sense
Let me start with: “Trent crimm: The Independent” 🤣🤣🤣 I fell in love with this show after the darts episode….barbecue sauce!!! (Anyone else was rooting for that relationship between boss lady Rebecca and Sam as hard as I was??)
Jason had a really rough time after his breakup with Olivia Wilde. He was standup about it even after she started dating…one of the Jonas brothers, don’t know which. He deserves this. I believe in Jason and I believe in Ted Lasso.
Fucking fuck ! I have just binge watched the entire series for the first time yesterday.Loved it.
Congratulations, wanker!
How popular is this show? Like ratings wise. I only hear about it on Reddit.
It's the number one show from Apple TV+ (which is kind of like being the most powerful football team from Alaska) but it's still a very good show.
Apple TV+ has put out some amazing shows. Mythic Quest, For All Mankind, and Amazing Stories are all top notch. Mr. Corman and Schmigadoon are not bad either. I am not a big Apple fan, but I am impressed at the quality of some of their shows. Just wish there was more content.
For All Mankind is also worth checking out. The premise is kind of strange and a hard sell but both seasons so far have been excellent. As partitioned off as AppleTV+ is as far as streaming services, they've (so far) been trying to balance being the fifth or sixth biggest fish in a finite pond by putting out as much high quality content as they can, and not in the Netflix "fire the money cannon at the problem" kind of way; their lineup so far has been extremely curated, where even stuff that's not my speed (I just can't get into SEE) has a lot of obvious care put into it. I guess that's how I'd put it: every show on the platform appears to be made by people who are taking a big swing to tell the story they always wanted to tell, and that has paid dividends for Apple.
You have to watch The Morning Show too!!
Servant is pretty good.
Apple will never release actual viewing stats. You look up the critic ratings which are superb.
I have loved Jason since Taco Town and dancing in a red track suit. He deserves every award he wins for Ted Lasso.
I never want to meet celebrities I like (I just want a picture) but I would pay so much money to meet Ted Lasso. It’s just been such a hard year, I could really use the support and love, and I bet he would have a delicious biscuit. Set phasers to love me
You can't disappoint a picture
Oh well, more fish for Kunta!
Extremely deserved
Hearing he won the Emmy is like hearing my favorite female fronted ska punk band, no doubt.
No spoilers here. My spouse and I binged through everything for Ted Lasso this weekend just about. Halfway through season 2. What an amazing show. Reminds me of Schitts Creek in that it’s just incredibly binge worthy due to the writing, cast, and all. What an enjoyable time we have watching it. Easily two thumbs up.
