Ted Lasso 1x06 'Two Aces' | First Time Reaction

[@kurtwagner350]

If you didn’t know Teds practice speech to Jamie is actually a word for word reciting of a famous interview response from Allen Iverson back In the day. In the context of the original response it was actually Iverson defending himself missing practice, so for sports fans it’s kinda cool to see them completely recontextualize the words in this show.

[@747Cone]

I sorta love how no one gets this and I sort of hate that you pointed it out.

[@fayesouthall6604]

So good to see Ted getting angry. Nice Dutch angle too.

[@neonoires]

The guy who plays Dani Rojas is Cristo Fernández who actually played for a professional Mexican soccer team when he was 15 but he got a career ending injury and became an actor!

[@zimvader25]

Also, even though he came in halfway through the season , he wasn’t a late addition to the cast. He was originally going to play the Jamie tartt heel type character but the showrunners created this character for him instead and created the jaime tartt character for Dunster. Best last minute decision any show could’ve possibly made.

[@Quzga]

Love me a good comeback story! He has a great aura as an actor

[@panamafloyd1469]

Funny thing..I'm also a 'sportscar' guy. Still playing the videogames, they're fun! One of the "Forza Horizon" games is set in Mexico. Christo's in the 'cinematic open' in a dual role as a taxi driver and the passenger that tempts him to drive so crazy. Isn't Christo's audition tape out on the 'net somewhere? I could swear I've seen it. He actually said a couple of lines that eventually ended up being said by Dunster in the show, IIRC.

[@Patriiiiick]

That's cool. Never knew that.

[@Umbra451]

The 400 ghosts exchange is one of my favorite jokes from this season. I find myself saying “we cannot fight them all” way more often than I should

[@tiarnanquinn5403]

I love it because theres the implications that there is a number of ghosts they could fight, and that there's ways to fight them and win.

[@panamafloyd1469]

@@tiarnanquinn5403 , agreed. Insert "Who ya gonna call?" joke here..

[@kiml.1565]

"That's too MANY ghosts!"

[@mcqueen0195]

I say "Pee Pee Fingers" in the same voice that Ted uses as he's exasperated at not knowing what they're talking about... nobody gets it but it entertains me. Lol

[@sheilaomalley4055]

When Ted is yelling at Jamie - watch again, how Jamie dissociates, it's like he leaves the room (or tries to, spiritually). It took me a while to pick up on it. This episode and the previous one were when my understanding of Jamie deepened - he's one of my favorites now!

[@maggie4028]

The way that that one scene changes your perspective on Jamie really hits what's so beautiful about Ted Lasso!

[@seanellio]

Jaime's growth through the series is one of my favorite parts of this show.

[@andresfelipemanjarres7061]

Rebecca realize that Ted was the one making the biscuits whe he say "thats the best batch, i finally crack the recipe" and that make it even worts, if you see her face you can see that this man went to all the trouble of making them because she love them just for her to make the asshole move of taking out of the team Jamie

[@fayesouthall6604]

It’s the last nasty thing she does. Thank goodness.

[@commsense1979]

Someone has to post the Allen Iverson practice rant for Arianna and Maple, b/c they looked so gripped by it. My wife was so impressed when I had the original reference to offer up as tribute when she introduced this show to me.

[@williammccormick984]

You knew they weren't sports people. They were never going to know an AI rant from the 2000's.

How could anyone not instantly like Danny Rojas? Football is LIIIFE!

[@christophervillalba4139]

Football is life!!!!!

[@ballroomdru]

The practice rant, look up Allen Iverson practice rant, and it will make that rant so much more funny.

[@firecrakka]

Yep... Google it folks.

[@kinesin8221]

Hopefully Arianna's "I wanna see the team succeed" song will catch on in stadiums the world over

[@TheGoIsWin21]

The thing I love about this episode, and the story as you guys have now seen it, is that it shows the Schadenfreude Nate experiences in a way that the audience appreciates and respects, and THEN shows, episodes later, the danger of that thinking. It doesn't matter if it's deserved or not, taking joy in the suffering of someone else poisons you as much as it does them. Nate became a bad person and a bad leader because he couldn't overcome his personal perspective. He couldn't escape seeing things from the lens of how they affected him and mattered to him, and therefor empathize. Caring for and empathizing the ones who have hurt you is the ONLY way to break the cycle. Nate didn't do that, and we see what he became.

[@tremoore61]

I'm loving Arianna's shirt.

[@RR-oy1yh]

In Ep2 after they lose the first game under Ted, Arlo White (the announcer) says the team were "disjointed, uninspired, and you'd have to say joyless" and I've always thought that was a reference to Dani Rojas and his unlimited joy.

[@liljackypaper]

The first season of this show was so good!!!

[@thisisagift01]

I love this ep. The first time you really get glimpses into who jamie is (not to spoil to much, but i love him a lot.)

[@TheFergo911]

These characters are based on actual football players. Roy Kent is based off Roy Kean, he is a character. There are clips on youtube that basically put some of the most iconic Roy Kean moments, I recommend people watch it, it is hilarious. Dani Rojas is based off Patrice Evra, Patrice Evra is a French player, during the previous world cup he coined the phrase "I love this game" which is why Dani Rojas would always say "football is life" - obviously they won't have him say the same phrase but it is said in the same tone and energy. He is a ball of energy and it shows in Dani Rojas. There are a few more players who you will see in the coming seasons and their personalities and sometimes their look is based off some of the most iconic players. These icons were iconic for their style of play but also for how they spoke. It makes sense why the show made characters similar to them. I recommend people to serious watch Roy Kean because it is hilarious and everyone would love it.

[@kurtwagner350]

I always thought Jamie was an amalgamation of a bunch of different current footballers like Phil Foden, Antoine Griezman, Ronaldo and obviously his look seems to be inspired by Jack Grealish

[@Isleofskye]

You've got a deal.I will watch and you spell Roy's name correctly: RoyKeane :)

[@corystanish]

"I've only had Dani Rojas for one episode, but if anything happened to him I would kill everyone in this room and then myself."

[@warrenv94]

I love how you instinctually said "Danny rojas!" 😂

[@Quzga]

I appreciate you reacting to this series, could use some wholesomeness lately 🥰 Just good vibes! It's a nice change of pace from all the dramatic and sad shows.

[@gaborkiss650]

The Iverson scene!

Dani Rojas has big Labrador energy and I'm here for it

[@williammccormick984]

3:40 - That Dutch angle was 🔥

[@Glisern]

17:11 that moment is her realising.

[@spankyhi]

1:15 i'm pretty sure nate means when your fingers get wrinkly from being in the water awhile. also for those that watched already, that line gives context to something later that you probably didn't even realize. but don't spoil it for the girls.
