friendly reminder that jamie used to idolize roy growing up. makes the hug so much more meaningful

[@goodmorning02]

Hellooooo

[@Morrigansravyn99]

I’ve been going to bad for Jamie’s struggle since season 1. Such a great example of how hurt people hurt people can even come in a confident package

[@jmcconn19]

I love the Jamie moment. I believe in that moment we understand Jaimie and why he is the way he was. Not used to having people legitimately care about him. When roy stepped up immediately and gave Jamie that embrace that’s when Jamie started being a friend, and good teammate, and a good person. That was his pivotal moment.

I don’t even care about sports but this is the best TV show I’ve seen in years. The entire cast is incredible, it’s so optimistic but doesn’t shy away from difficult things that happen in our lives.

[@dolfyn73]

Perfectly said. 👍

Agree 💯. And it handles all of those tricky issues with such grace and care. I love this show.

[@grrgoyljones8793]

This is precisely what I say to anyone I'm recommending it to. Couldn't care less about football. It's only a framework for good storytelling.

[@MegaParillo]

That's because it's not about sports.

[@staticmonkey8436]

When Ted was telling the story of his father’s suicide, that hit so hard. It came out of absolutely nowhere and has always stuck with me.

Roy hugging Jamie gets me every single time.

[@PearlsandRoses]

Me 2.

[@matthewj7800]

Roy cares deeply for his family and to see Jamie’s father maliciously humiliate him in front of his team would be unfathomable to Roy.

[@Oxibase]

That moment should have been near the top of this list.

[@chadturner7653]

Every single time.

[@sophiaisabelle027]

Ted Lasso sure is iconic. We appreciate how much of an impact he's made in our lives.

[@goodmorning02]

Hellloooo

[@Shenanakins]

"gotta wear the same kit" absolutely destroyed me. they were all against Jamie and making his life impossible he put his ego aside to support Sam. Jamie really has some of the best moments in the show.

[@GeekyBibliophile]

Something that’s stuck with me ever since I first read it was how Jamie tenses up when Roy goes in to hug him. He’s not expecting a hug. He’s expecting another fist, and my heart breaks for Jamie every time I watch that scene.

[@MrTripLBee]

That's a fine observation, and a testament to the acting skills of the man who portrays Jamie.

[@tanyam5471]

Of course we all knew about #1. This moment makes me cry every time. Jamie was so lost, his teammates were confused and embarrassed by this scene and only Roy could do the most brave and heartwarming move. He doesn't talk much, rarely opens up about his feelings but when it's really necessary Roy is doing something like that.

[@danielbrhel8344]

Roy hugging Jamie was so out of left field and so amazing. It is arguably the toughest thing tough guy Roy Kent ever does in the show and it isn't done or shown on other shows. Or on the rare occasion when it is, the two just become best buds, like their previous issues never existed. This show hits so close to home because of how amazingly true to life it is.

[@ellicel]

I really like the fact that they still have issues even after this. It shows that relationships don’t have to be black or white. You can show compassion for someone else even if aren’t best friends. That’s something this world desperately needs

[@Ecko110]

The way Jamie recoils at first expecting to get hit when Roy goes to hug him absolutely breaks me. Such a subtle move of body language says so much

[@BattleStar_Yolettica]

I love it all. When Beard kicks Jaime's dad out and says "watch the door" as he slams him through it always makes me laugh. This show is just so amazing I am sad to see it go.

[@TisDana]

Only to run into him in a dark ally….

[@isaiahayers1550]

It's always bittersweet. I hate to see the end of such a good thing but also love the restraint to say what you want to say and tell the story you set out to tell and then leave without the legacy tarnishing cash grab.

[@RandomShowerThoughts]

@@TisDana lol that was such a turn of events

[@ViddingByZee]

"You don't have to keep trying anymore. It's okay." Always tears me apart.

[@scottiestone2148]

[@sfurules]

[@johnmorken8203]

The scene when Beard comes to Nate's door and offers his job back in season 3 is an all time moment

[@benjamincrabtree3102]

Yes!!!!

[@dr_pinna543]

That one got me too. Finally get backstory on Beard. Also the one of Nate and his dad just wanting him to be happy.

[@carlospotatos2760]

Oh yes boy that one got me crushed too, as well as Nate‘s apology to Ted when he said „please let me say it“ and bursts out in tears

[@seanmcnew18]

​@@dr_pinna543 I think one of, if not THE time I laughed the hardest was when he said, "I stole a loaf of meth."

[@JustinWahlne]

@@dr_pinna543 That was the big one that did it for me. After Lloyd finally talked to Nate, I literally had to pause the episode just to give myself a few minutes to cry.

[@Shenanakins]

Ted is what Rebecca thought Rupert was when they first started dating. Rupert is like a dark twisted version of Ted. He's charming, and makes people feel like they're the most special person in the world but he's just using people. Ted isn't. Ted just genuinely sees the good in people and he lets them know how special they are and that's why he's so infectious.

[@kellycunningham6815]

Sometimes wonder if Rupert's nastiness and desire to really hurt Rebecca is because she dumped him. I would imagine he's used to doing the dumping.

[@damilolaowolabi6716]

Wow I didn't see that. That explains why Rebecca was defensive of Ted, initially. And why she gravitated towards him later

[@fayesouthall6604]

Well said.

[@fayesouthall6604]

@@kellycunningham6815she dumped him because of his affairs. Bex must be suspicious

[@Shenanakins]

@@kellycunningham6815 absolutely. Rupert is a classic abuser. he is obsessed with the power he holds over rebecca. the fact that she broke free of his control is why he keeps trying to torture her and "remind" her of what she lost. when she dumped him he told her that she would be alone forever because he knows she is afraid of that. He isolated her from her friends and belittled her and controlled what she ate and wore. Rebecca having that much agency over her life is why he inserts himself into her life (buying shares of AFC richmond, trying to get access to the seats next to rebecca's seats, attending her father's funeral). i suspect thats why he had a child with Bex, just to spite rebecca who he told he didn't want children and made her waste the last of her fertile years with him.

[@andrewavent9144]

The episode containing the Roy-Jamie locker-room moment is truly remarkable writing. The entire episode builds to that moment, and while it's mostly a developmental episode for Roy's character, we learn a monumental piece about Jamie's story and character flaw through the introduction of his father. Early in the episode Roy is confronted with the weight and importance of his actions in a moment of failure as a father figure to his niece, Phoebe. After Phoebe gets in trouble at school for swearing, Roy has a conversation in the car with Phoebe where he expresses his doubts to her as a good roll model, explaining how he didn't grow up with a strong father figure in his own life and how he views himself as a failure to her because of that. She promptly breaks Roy's narrative about himself by revealing how much she admires and looks up to him, sparking a new understanding in Roy about the opportunity he has been given as not only an uncle, but as a coach as well. After the Man City match, he sees Jamie's interaction with his father and immediately recognizes a key similarity between the two of them: Jamie is a product of his environment, just as Roy has been a product of his. In that moment, Roy realizes what Jamie has been missing, what he needs is affection, stability and affirmation, and that more importantly, he is the exact person to give that to Jamie. Roy's actions are not only monumental for Jamie, but for Ted as well. This moment unlock's Ted's anger, grief, and regret over his own relationship with his father, allowing him to have a key breakthrough on the phone with the therapist, "Doc" Sharon.

[@angeladimitrova559]

It's also really heartwarming because Roy knew how to comfort him just like how he knew when he was going to pull that goal off because he just knows Jaime

[@robinwells3]

Well-observed and said.

[@josuec7929]

Jamie and his father after their game at Wembley, made me cry. Seeing an abusive father go after his son like that and Coach standing up for him. Triggered some horrible stuff between me and my now distant stepfather. I’m okay and I’m freed from him for more than 2 years now. Still taking steps with therapy. ❤

[@Evil.Totoro]

This show deserves all of the accolades it has won and more, truly amazing writing, acting and production.

[@20KadamsMaclay00]

Jason Sudeikis is incredibly talented - as is the whole cast! - but his vulnerability is heart wrenching

[@Elnont]

The scene with Jamie’s father at Wembley is heart breaking for many reasons but it’s so beautifully acted above everything else - his dad doesn’t actually physically hit him yet within there interaction it’s so blatant that he’s been physically abused. A master class in acting.

[@monte5293]

Not sure it's necessarily a tear jerker scene, but the episode of Roy Kent's after game press conference is so poignant and a real life lesson about not knowing what is happening in anyone else's life. S03E09

[@AurZellius]

One of my favorite moments in the entire show.

[@M-Town90]

Another solid special mention

[@1craley878]

It's a very great scene and it always makes me cry. Very true point as well about you never know what others are going through.

[@clodlink]

This show has so many moments that just will make you cry so hard. My personal #1 is when Nate and his dad finally are able to be on good terms. It was just a huge thing for me to see.

[@ChopBlock2]

The scene of Ted and Rebecca’s back and forth monologue about their fathers was one of my favorite scenes in history. So well written and executed

[@es-panzermacht5208]

Ted's mom visiting the team and Ted's final talk with his mom should have definitely been an honourable mention. Seeing the pain of a father being away from his son was heartbreaking.

[@fannypliers3716]

“of course I am, it was a housecall” - this oddly is one of my favourite lines! Only someone special to you can make you laugh while sobbing and make it feel just the tiny bit better. The chemistry the actors delivered throughout the show was crazy good.

[@lorankaufmann2540]

Ugly Cry moments for me also include Roy in the lockerroom shooing keelie away after his injury but keelie comes over anyway.

[@spc1612]

yes!

[@anniebunny722]

Roy and Keeley’s confessions and facial expressions after them during the photo shoot for Vanity Fair were really crushing.

[@harinpv]

The last shot when Rebecca hugs Ted at airport had tears in my eyes.

[@KatalinHKorossy]

I would also add Keely coming to comfort Roy in the locker room after he messed up his knee and Pett much ended his career. Lovely scene. But yes, Rebecca’s confession to Ted and his reaction is one of my favorite scenes of any tv show ever.

[@mrsam1907]

as Ted said it best "be curious not judgmental" 💕💕

[@Cheesycat948]

Are you going to charge me for this session? Of course, I am. I admire your integrity. 😂

[@Ellenfan3000]

When coach Beard kicked out Jamie’s dad and his fallow up line “oops” is funny to a emotional scene I can’t help but laugh and smile

[@genericscreenname13]

[@AuntieHeatherH]

Bill Lawrence shows are always so good at balancing the humor with the sad. his ability to demonstrate pathos is unmatched.

[@brassbear3373]

“Barbecue sauce.”

[@thewatchfemme4051]

The hardest I’ve cried during this show was when Roy hugged Jamie, and I cry constantly during this show. It’s going to join the pantheon of superb shows one day.

[@krisroth1612]

It already has.

[@fayesouthall6604]

Jamie flinching just before the hug too.

[@scottysize]

Ted forgives Rebecca is number 1. I even teared up watching it here.

[@LisaAdams-nc3tp]

When Nate asked for Beard to head butt him and Beard’s eyes go wide, he turns his hat around, grabs Nate’s head, and gently touches his forehead to Nate’s. And then engulfs him in a hug. One of the most beautiful scenes I’ve ever seen.

[@juliofernandez9900]

“It’s funny to think about the things in your life that can make you cry just knowing that they existed, can then become the same thing that make you cry knowing that they’re now gone. I think those things come into our lives to help us get from one place to a better one.” This part got me

[@mariahjones-munroe5011]

The speech Nate gives to the team season one killed me. His words to Roy, reminding him not to turn his rage inward, the courage to speak up and talk truth to power, to earn the respect of the team: so moving.

[@GigiButterflie]

Watching these clips made me cry all over again, in the BEST way!

[@jcf1978]

The moment when Isaac leads the team to the Believe sign and they all put their hands on it before going to the pitch.

[@WillingTan]

The Reason we Love Ted Lasso is because we see ourselves exposed for who we are and hugged for who we can become. Thank you, Ted! 🤜🏼🤛🏾❤️

[@agurod-k7p]

gosh, I love this show. those are just some examples, but every episode is packed with great and inspiring moments.

[@lytaquiroz1524]

Great number 1 especially since that moment is also a full circle to Roy, who fear he was a bad influence on Phoebe, that was saying bad words on school, but there he went to Jamie, who had mention back in season 1 how he love Roy growing up

[@DEUTSCH7470]

For the number 1, it hit even harder when the scene of Jamie's visit to his father in the season 3 finale.What a masterpiece!

[@BasesLoadedLacquer]

well here i am crying on the toilet. again. ted lasso is in my top 5 fave shows of all time, and it's because of moments like these. as someone who suffers from a crippling anxiety disorder, i lost it when ted said "i'm sorry" to rebecca as she was comforting him outside the club. it's soooo typical for us to feel as though our anxiety/panic is inconveniencing those closest to us. it really broke my heart to hear ted apologize for something over which he has no control, as i've done myself a million times.

[@Kdunlap99]

I appreciate the accuracy of Panic/Anxiety disorder being displayed on this show. Much better than basically every other show

[@queenmother123]

My niece recommended this series to me. I have Covid now feeling horrible but seeing this lineup is cheering me up. This series is so well done. I used to think Rebecca was so mean in season one her character development is immaculate. Her and Ted's friendship melts my heart. Sam's protest was totally necessary.

its so rare that i get to rewatch a show from the start. its that good

[@moaziz23]

Its hard to believe but when you watch this show, you see yourself a bit in a lot of the characters. While it is still TV, sometimes a lot to learn about life. Reality might not work that way, but being a better human being each and every day is more important than being accepted by the people

[@kevinliggit]

Ted talking about his dad helped me with my dad dying of an over dose. I understood that anger amongst the grief

[@jesterking27]

I’m guessing the entire stadium chanting Roy Kent the moment they see him on the sidelines must be number 11.

[@audsandevens]

Bf watched this and loved it. He wanted to share the moments he loved so he forced me to watch it. 5 mins of watching and he no longer had to watch me while watching it lol. This is such a gem.

[@NachoHatSD]

Ted’s humorous self deprecation and puns are to hide his pain, but when the laughter ends, he’s left with himself. Ted’s “I’ve never quit anything” goes back to his father’s suicide and Ted’s belief that suicide was quitting on his family.

[@flyejeezy6350]

This show will go down in history as the greatest sitcom of all time. It came at the perfect time and made the world fall in love with all these characters. And revived Jason Sudeikis’ career

[@ursatzotschew7541]

The whole loss with the Man city in season 2 just wrecked me. Jamie hugging Roy & Ted opening up about his father' death. Even now watching this video, I feel my eyes welling and my throat hurting. Damn you Jason Sudekis for making us all emotionally raw while watching TV!

[@jomac841]

I’ve cried a lot watching this but Roy hugging Jamie after his dad’s abuse gets me every time.

[@tooclosetokyle]

Rebecca telling Ted the truth will always remain one of my favorite moments. In a normal show it would be a multiple episode thing but it only takes a minute to be concluded. Incredible.

[@fatboyt-rok]

Oh, this video looks cool let’s watch it…. 14:04 minutes later. Literally cries all over again. I didn’t realize how much this show really impacted me. Very well done

[@LAVirgo67]

The Roy & Jaime hug tore me up! That was indeed the most powerful scene.

[@mikekim1219]

I highly recommend to rewatch the whole series. I was amazed how much I missed little details first time.

[@patjackson8649]

That hug that made your #1 is underlined with emotion by the choice of that heartbreaking George Harrison song. The music is this series has been impeccably curated

[@sarahvenable4710]

Ted Lasso is one of my spirit animals! I love him!

[@shadowxtwinkey]

The moment that made me cry the most was when Nate officially apologized to Ted in the finale. I’ve never cried while watching tv. That made me tear up.

[@darrenosullivan5739]

Roy Kent is hard man that shows even hard men have a soft side

[@bobtausworthe]

umm. what you missed about the funeral is Rebecca "Rick Rolled" her father's funeral!!! Yes, it had some emotion but it was still a Rick Roll as well. They set that up beautifully

[@star_star.]

my favorite line from ted is "i dont know if this is illegal or something but can i have a hug?"

[@trevorkatz512]

An underrated moment from the ending scene of the show. When they show Roy speaking to the team psychologist clutching the little army man Ted gave him as he’s clearly struggling with Ted’s departure from the club. That got me so emotional.

[@candafilm]

I don't cry at movies or TV shows. Not because I'm some hardened emotionless man but because I don't ever feel the need to. No Weddings and a Funeral came out a couple months after my dad died. Him saying "if only he knew how good he was" and "he was a good dad" had me bawling.

[@amybethhurst]

All of these are amazing. My cry moment was the Christmas episode in Season 1. As they all showed up, I was bawling like a baby.

[@PhilRead-cf6vg]

I was expecting the story Beard tells Nate from the end of Season 3 about his history with Ted. That got me, because it explains why Beard is so fiercely loyal, but also gets your right in the feels.

[@damilolaowolabi6716]

The most emotional moment in the entire show, was when Ted accepted the fact that his divorce was gonna happen, regardless of his efforts.

[@scottiestone2148]

It's incredibly hard to narrow the list down to 10, but the one I would add is the "Hey Jude" scene. If you've ever gone through a divorce where kids are involved, you definitely get it. Especially if you were not the one who initiated it. Even though Ted has "let go" of Michelle, the thought of someone else being present as a father figure drives him insane. At this point, it has nothing to do with Michelle. It's all about him waiting for that final blow to the family unit that he loved and cared about so much. The anger and obsession is all about Henry and Ted's feelings that he isn't being enough for him while another man enters the arena to "take his place." Rebecca helps him direct his focus back where it needs to be...on Henry. It doesn't matter what happens with Michelle, Ted will always be Henry's dad, and that's the most important thing to both of them. I also love how Coach has a moment of vulnerability here. The tactical, fact-spitting, "don't let anyone too close" Beard goes from reciting the origin of the song to realizing his voice can help Henry get through this. You can see it on his face when he realizes it and he is almost reluctant to say it, but when he does, it is genuine and believable. It's just another of many great examples of writing, timing and acting.

[@Da.Onus.Burger.618]

This show was so well written and so well acted. I’m going to miss these characters!

[@ianeppard600]

Underrated? Have you been living under a rock? Jason Sudakis has put himself on par with the greatest play-write of our time Aaron Sorkin. Sorkin has put out this quality of material his entire career, but has slowed down in recent years spending more time with his family. If Ted Lasso truly ends this year I hope Apple green lights Jason’s next project immediately. He only has so many work hours left. His talent needs to be nurtured and supported to get the maximum value for not only Jason and Apple, but for all the rest of us.

[@jebadiahfyefye8994]

Not having the stadium scene on the list is crazy. Rebecca telling Ted “she’d still be underpaying him for how much he means to this club” is such an amazing toast to all that Ted has done for Richmond.

[@Ryan78336]

I bloody love this show. Never thought I’d ever love a show about football but I relate to Ted hard.

[@FatChelseaFan]

For me the Roy Hug was more of a feel good, it showed that he could see Jamie's struggles and to why he had the rebellious personality he hated about him and he put his hatred of him aside and saw someone new he could build up in S3 and lead to their eventual friendship.

[@courtneywalmsley8284]

Keeley telling Rebecca “It would change how I feel about you,” regarding Rebecca confessing her true intention/ reason for hiring Ted is so telling. It is a small, but very powerful message that “Ted Lasso” is all about- building character, being an effective and and respected leader, a father, forgiveness, plainly said as being the best version of one’s self on and off the field. When one of your closest friends calls you out, usually you listen.

[@MrPepelongstockings]

I ugly cried at the end 😭😭😭 when Ted reveals he's had GBM cancer, and should have died 4 years ago, and pushed his wife away and went off to England to die alone but met them and got to live every day like his last. Brutal show man. Can't wait for season 4 to go public!
