Thats true but they weren't delivered near as well in the show are they are here... and unfortunately ted is not as much of a moron in the show as he is here. That sucks because he's more funny in these promos than in the show

[@matthewoboyle6010]

@@zact4980 That’s true about Ted. But that would never work over the course of a whole season, let alone the next two seasons that have already been picked up. They had to make him more human, and less of a cartoon character. Season 1 was absolutely brilliant btw.

[@zact4980]

@@matthewoboyle6010 Oh I agree season 1 was truly great... I have two complaints about the show though, first I wish there was more soccer/football stuff in it. For a show about a coach of a professional soccer team there isnt nearly enough soccer action. And finally I wish ted was slightly more of a moron like in the promos, ala micheal scott from the office. He was a moron and still managed to have heartfelt moments.

[@theGregfish]

@@zact4980 The lack of technical soccer terms is specifically to be more accessible to a wider audience who may not know anything about soccer. I know I was initially intimidated going into the show because I do not know much about soccer, but I am happy that I truly enjoyed it. Also, another reason could be that, in order to reflect Ted Lasso's personal lack of knowledge in the show, we as viewers experience that with him as we are not taught much about the technicalities surrounding the sport.

[@SmallLab129]

@@zact4980 I actually like that he's not a moron. I think that was a big change. He went from being a moron to a perpetual optimist that while, way over his head in the game, is a damn good coach. I think if they tried to make this "Soccer Office" it'd have flopped.

Nobody could have seen it coming. Just a joke, a funny "what if" sketch that turned into one of the most meaningful, heartfelt television shows to ever exist.

[@akinman123]

“Super rich, everybody either loves them or hates them” “Cowboys” “Liverpool, used to be great, haven’t won a title in a really long time” “Also Dallas Cowboys” That’s awesome and I’m a Cowboys fan!!

[@osiris654]

Well well well, Liverpool.

[@aaronpalomo3497]

Lolol hell yea I knew it was going there funny shit

[@nonejose2305]

Lmao so fucking true

[@heartless_raven]

As long as the Cowboys don’t win a Championship like Liverpool. Giants fan here

[@ahmadhalimi]

01:39 a subtle touch but I love how many own goals Ted has scored with his GK (W. Szczesny)

[@giorgosmakro]

Yeah I noticed that too 😂

[@davidwoodroffe3986]

Anyone else come back here following Pochettino’s sacking, pining for the days of Coach Lasso?

Who knew that this would be the most heartfelt show in 2020.

[@kc414]

Congratulations on the Emmy win! When I found out this ad was going to become an actual show, I thought it was going to be a flop... Turns out I got hooked since the first episode, the characters are so likable. As Trent Crimm would say, you can't help but root for this show

[@AlwaysRobert]

You mean Trent Crimm from the Independent?

[@sherlockmaverick]

@@AlwaysRobert No, Trent Crimm, Independent.

[@christianb572]

I think the key to the show’s success is that they made Ted completely unassuming. Everyone assumes he’s a complete joke, but his unorthodox style just makes him wiser than most.

Gareth Bale: "Zidane makes me wish I was still playing for Ted Lasso"

[@canozzkan]

Underrated comment

[@stevendchu]

@@canozzkan Gareth Bale came back to Spurs because he thought Ted Lasso was still manager!

stevendchu hahah just seen this one. So true.

[@BarryWise]

Still the best sports commercial ever

I love the amount of things they took word for word from here and used it in the show

CAN I GET THOSE IN THE WOMEN'S SECTION JOHN!?!?!

I'm glad they didn't sick with the mockumentary style :)

Yeah, he had a little bit of Michael Scott vibes too which I'm glad they ditched.

I mean they have a bit of that through the press and interview stuff

If Michael Scott changed careers

Its cool that they also decided to bring back Coach Beard from this for the show

[@ReynoldsWrap11]

"Wales is a country?" "Yes and no." "How many countries are in this country?" "Four." Couldn't stop laughing. 😂😂😂

[@akzebraminer]

Lol

[@yoboinicossman]

I just realized they paid homage to this in the show. Some of the jokes are carried over. Good shit Apple.

[@ilonasmolders386]

homage? :') It was based on this! But yeah lot of the same jokes :-)

[@apseudonym]

yeah that's not what an homage means at all

[@yoboinicossman]

@@ilonasmolders386 That's... my point. Lol.

[@yoboinicossman]

@@apseudonym I know what the word means. I meant they were paying homage by using some of the same jokes. I'm well aware of how the concept of the show was birthed.

[@PippiOnePointOh]

“Yeah, three points!” “No points.” “No points? Why not?” “It’s gotta go in.” “COME ON ROB YOU GOTTA GET IT IN THERE TO GET THREE POINTS!”

Shhh let them feel special. It makes everyone's lives easier.

[@MikeyDunne]

Ali Mohamed Ulster is the province, in which the state of Northern Ireland exists

[@haleychow1535]

Watching this before the Season 3 finale and why am I tearing up 🥲

[@DrAnimePhD]

To think this silly somewhat cringy skit turned into one of the most left field charming shows I’ve ever seen is absolutely spectacular. Ted Lasso earned all its Golden Globes, and I can’t wait for second 2

[@Garrett1240]

Somewhat cringy? Really reaching here.

[@hiryuFGC]

@@Garrett1240 This version of Ted had too much edge for someone like that... which is saying something.

[@ebb_flo_climb]

left field is baseball, coach.

[@flaggerify]

I thought this was better than the show.

[@sr8146]

season 2 has a lot of cringe moments

[@verav3191]

this skit just won 7 emmys

Thank you for giving us three seasons of Ted Lasso. It’s inspiring and good for mental health.

[@yorgoskakakios6777]

Love how the “how many countries are in this country” line made it into the Apple TV series.

[@JasonZakrajsek]

A lot of stuff from this is in the show

[@MrKaje72]

Assistant Coach, is the funniest straight man. "where's he from?" "Wales" "Wales? Wait that's another country?" "Yes and No."

[@brandomontes]

Why is everyone finding this video now? It's three years old.

[@jonathanflores3589]

Brando Montes because it's on our recommended

[@brandomontes]

I realize that since I found it there too. It's just strange that KZbin would recommend it to us all three years later.

[@momo2cool4skool]

Brando Montes maybe cuz there's an American in the premier league now

[@bertroberts1]

Brando Montes I was hoping for more but they didn't continue it after the second one.. and I was hoping to see more once the season started again
