I'm jealous of you two. Seeing Ted Lasso for the first time. This is probably my favorite television series of all time. It will make you cheer and cry. It's amazing.

[@DNReacts]

We absolutely love it!

[@GingerPeacenik]

I only saw it for the first time last month during hurricane Milton (I'm in Florida), which I rode out at a neighbor's house (which is less at risk of destruction than mine). Since the hurricane moved at a crawl, we were up all night, and he put on "Ted Lasso" to help us both deal with the stress. He's a gay interior designer, zero interest in sports, so I was surprised that he suggested it...until we watched the pilot. We ended up watching the ENTIRE first season that night! I streamed the other two seasons at home over the next two weeks, then started it all over again as soon as I'd watched S3 E12! Really hope they do some spin offs someday soon. Definitely my favorite series now as well!

[@loganleroy8622]

Jason Sudeikis grew up and went to high school in Kansas. He's a KC Chiefs fan. The joke about him being a college football coach from Wichita State (a small Division 1 school in Kansas) is really funny if you're from Kansas because you would know that Wichita State hasn't had a football team since 1986.

[@JeffKelly03]

He and Paul Rudd are from the same town in the KC area, as well (I lived in the next town over from Overland Park -- Shawnee -- for one year right after I graduated from college), which is wild. Also, Ted's running man dance at the start is based on something he used to do to make his basketball teammates laugh. He was a good basketball player, too, by the way; he played against Tyronn Lue, who now coaches the LA Clippers, in high school and went to junior college to play himself but I believe gave it up to pursue acting/comedy.

[@TheBadgertwo]

I graduated in 94 from Shawnee Mission North and I believe both those guys went to West. Pau is pretty old believe it or not, but Jason and I shared a few years I think.

[@JeffKelly03]

@@TheBadgertwo Yeah, Rudd is 54 and Sudeikis is 48 so there's certainly a gap in there, and they never actually went to school together. But yep, they both went to Shawnee Mission West.

[@cirrustate8674]

Division 2, not Division 1.

[@JeffKelly03]

@tate8674 Wichita State is absolutely D1. Not sure why they called them D2 in the show.

[@RR-oy1yh]

This show is about as perfect a show as is possible to make. A really really well done 3-season arc.

[@ruprecht8520]

And I thought the ending was pitch perfect. That's rare these days. Very satisfying show.

[@gregcable3250]

"He's here! He's there! He's everywhere! Roy Kent!" --you'll see. And Coach Lasso's nickname from the fans is awesome.

[@DNReacts]

Amazing nickname for Ted 😂

[@thatgirlwearingglasses4133]

You fucked up the chant there, man.

[@Danielren123]

This whole show came from an ad for the Premier League in America with Jason Sudekis as Ted Lasso coaching Tottenham. You can find them on KZbin if you want.

[@NolanThurston-w1z]

Some fun facts: Roy Kent is loosely based on Roy Keane. Also, AFC Richmond is loosely based on Crystal Palace. This show is incredible and I love that you guys are doing this. Keep it up!

[@fayesouthall6604]

I didn’t start watching Ted Lasso until season 2 as I love football and I got hooked. Nathan is a genius. Roy Kent is my favourite character. Brett Goldstein started as a writer on the show, felt an affinity with Roy and did his own video for the producers saying if it was embarrassing they could destroy it and forget it. Subscribing as I type.

One thing a friend of mine noticed that I missed is the amount of forgiveness throughout this series. Ted forgives everything then you notice the other characters forgiving each other over situations that would break up friendships. You also see the results of forgiveness. I love this series and I'm eagerly awaiting season 4.

[@itslayla538]

One of my fave show ever! I have finished all 3 seasons, started to watch it right after they finished S1. I love Jason Sudeikis, British humor and also I grew up watching football (the English one 😄), so yes, was pleasantly shocked when I found a show with all three. Enjoy the ride. Cheers!

[@mazdakmina9493]

LOL Not sure if you have found out yet in the last three weeks, but long before "Ted Lasso" was a full show, it was a promotional ad (yes, literally a commercial) for NBC here in the states the year that they won the rights to the Premier League! And yes, that was *also* starring Jason Sudeikis, who back then was a recurring cast member on NBC's Saturday Night Live, or SNL (the whole idea behind the ad was that it was an SNL-like skit where, yes, an American football coach goes and coaches in the Premier League). And yes, the actor who played "Coach Beard" was indeed his assistant in that skit as well. And yes, many of the one-liner jokes (like the "Wales"/"How many countries are in this country?") were taken *directly* from that skit. I bring this up both because it's a hilarious initial skit and I'd love for you both to react to *that* as well (😂😂😂), but *also...* When Trent Crimm asks the question, "Is this all a big joke?" (which isn't on this video, but yes, for those who haven't watched or don't remember, *that* was the question he asked about this entire premise of an American football coach who has "never set foot in England" and has no idea what the rules of pro soccer even are who has been tasked with coaching a Premier League team), it's meant to be a meta-commentary about the fact that *yes indeed,* this entire premise *was* meant initially to be a big extended joke (by NBC, to promote the Premier League after winning the American rights to broadcast the league's matches)! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thought you might enjoy hearing that - and yes, I absolutely believe you would enjoy seeing that initial Ted Lasso commercial by NBC.

[@TerryYelmene]

Thank You for the react. I like the positive comments. I think you will be surprised just how great Ted Lasso is.

[@djplong]

You can actually see people walking around here in the US wearing AFC Richmond shirts. This show basically became "event television" here. This series proves that it's the story that matters - it happens to take place around a fictional football club and they handle the sports parts really well. From what I understand, the Premier League was very reticent to allow any of their trademarks to be used during filming. Then, it became a huge international hit and the PL said "Ok, we'll allow more in Season 2" :)

Fantastic series, Sudekis and all the crew really kill it. Hard to find tele that delivers laughs and good messages in today's times.

[@Weezlenut]

I remember seeing the description for the show and thinking how unusual it sounded which is what got me curious. I really didn't know Jason Sudeikis at all and none of the British cast but I gave it a shot. From the first episode my hate for Apple TV grew for making me wait an entire week for the next episode, not to mention the time between seasons (series). Everyone on that show was the perfect choice and I don't think that the casting director, Theo Park, gets near enough credit for putting together such an amazing ensemble.

[@londonsarsenal]

Such a great show.

[@loganleroy8622]

He's not really doing much of an accent compared to how his voice normally sounds, but he's basically talking like people from rural Kansas would talk. It's a sort of twang, that will also mix in terms that you'll often also hear in the South like "y'all, howdy, etc" but it's more common among farmers and ranchers in states like Kansas and Oklahoma.

[@scottgodlewski306]

I don't remember if Liverpool pops up in the series. They fly to Liverpool to play Everton this season. Klopp might make a cameo at some point. Man City ends up being a big player in the show. Pep shows up in the last season.

I grew up watching football and going to Coventry City matches at the old Highfield Road stadium. When the big money and the prima donnas took over I lost interest and stopped watching. I understand football though, and was unsure how a comedy show could be made, especially by an American company, that respected the game but was also appealing to both fans and newbies alike. I started watching Ted Lasso with a sceptical eye, but was won over almost immediately. It is very funny, but also heartwarming and moving. I absolutely love it, it’s like a warm hug in a crazy world. I’ve watched it several times from start to finish and never tire of it. It is listed as a comedy, but it’s really a drama with funny stuff, you’ll see that as you get into it. Some people didn’t like series three, but I thought it was perfect and completed the story arcs of all of the characters, maybe not always in the way people expected, but it was satisfying nonetheless. I’d love another series or a spin off featuring some of the characters. I envy you getting to watch this fantastic show for the first time. Enjoy!

[@panamafloyd1469]

Oh, thank goodness the YT matrix spit out your reaction for me. I'm a footy fan in the US (ATL! UTD! Atlanta is the club for me!! - I waited 25yrs for the stupid MLS to finally give us a franchise), and have often wondered what people elsewhere in the world (especially from the home of * real * football) would think of the show. I've been telling people here that you don't need to know anything about football to enjoy the show, but for fans of the game over here, there are plenty of 'easter eggs' in it. Kit man (Nate) shouting at them to get off the pitch as he runs across it, etc. When the series was new, I often had to stop playback to tell some of my friends who aren't into the sport WTF I was laughing about. Some background: Jason Sudeikis was a performer on our NBC network's "Saturday Night Live" satire show years ago. NBC had gained the TV rights to show EPL games in the US, and asked him to make promotional videos for it. Those vids were actually 'American football coach hired as manager in EPL'. Still can't believe it was turned into a show, and worked out so well. Brendan Hunt ("Coach Beard") is an American who fell in love with the game while living in Amsterdam. He was one of the writers. Brett Goldstein ("Roy Kent") was also a writer, but as he wrote, he thought.."Hey, I could play that guy!" Auditioned, and got the job. He's said in interviews that the character was actually inspired by Roy Keane. Can't say more without spoilers. Gleefully awaiting your next reaction!

Me too. I am now an EFL football fan because of this show (and also Welcome to Wrexham). Took me a few months to wrap my head around promotion/relegation and the myriad of leagues and cups, trophies and titles. Still working on the offside rule and what each position is responsible for doing. #1 is usually the goalkeeper, #10 is often the striker/best player -- It actually surprised me to learn that certain positions usually wore a particular number.
