TED LASSO 3x12 REACTION | So Long, Farewell | Series Finale | First Time Watching

[@GopherBaroque61]

Rebecca's love interest, being a pilot is a *_"FLYING DUTCHMAN"_*

[@Vroomery01]

And his daughter is played by the same girl that was Rebecca’s “little girl in the mirror”.

[@dpw140]

Ted Lasso shows how well you can pay off your characters in the finale when you go in with a clear plan on when to wrap things up.

[@joacobernal446]

to be fair, they left it open if they want to do a reboot

[@aeb712]

I was hoping you caught the switch with Jamie's hat. Usually it says ICON, it's been replaced with I, COG. A cog makes the wheel turn and the engine run. This role is essential, and keeps the rest of the wheel turning. Very symbolic of Jamie asking to be the central midfielder instead of the star, shooting all the goals. He keeps the whole team going, and is crucial to their success on the field. His growth over the three seasons is my favorite part of the show.

[@rickykozak58]

Fun fact: the actors actually sang that song, Kola Bokinni (Isaac), Cristo Fernandez (Dani) and Toheeb Jimoh (Sam) all actually sing that well. Plus it’s on Spotify as part of the official soundtrack, you’re welcome😅

[@mickdarcy3063]

I know you've got The Bear next but The Good Place is something that has the heart of Ted Lasso.

[@michaelpeters364]

Both are pretty great shows... I hope he watches both.

[@oscardiggs246]

Before Ted Lasso, the Good Place was my favorite series of all time, by a huge margin, but Ted Lasso was just what I needed, right when I needed it.

[@DavidWilliams-nm5jv]

Kintsugi - the Japanese art of restoring broken pottery with gold in the cracks to embrace the imperfections. This is what they did with the Believe sign, and it's PERFECT.

[@Wiley_Coyote]

Its also important to note that the psychic actually demonstrated this to Rebecca.

[@fenix6297]

@@Wiley_Coyote Rebecca's ending with the Dutchman was also prophesized by the psychic. "You are going to have a family, you are going to be a mother." She's going to be stepmother.

[@toddeeee]

Honestly Ted telling beard "it's the other side coach" when beard is yelling about his appendix is one of the best jokes

[@korganrocks3995]

I assume Ted must have had appendicitis at some point, because you don't forget that pain! 😄

[@DaniG-ex3vf]

I can finally comment this: Jamie’s journey on this story it’s one of the best things I have ever seen. He went from icon, to teammate and finally leader. Wonderfully perfect.

[@FenixNade]

Icon to I, Cog as it were!

[@cpmahon]

Let me start by simply saying thank you, I've really enjoyed your reactions to Ted Lasso. I appreciate that your reactions are genuine and to quote some Shakespeare, you're not afraid to wear your heart on your sleeve. Even though I'm from the UK, I'm not a particular fan of football. However, the programmes are so well written and acted you can't help but enjoy them. They do a fantastic job of giving a rollercoaster of emotions and I like that they have so many callbacks. Thank you once again for doing such an excellent job, cheers!

[@LukeNguyen112]

A big thing I like is that Ted really takes a back seat in the finale. He’s soaking in the seeds he’s sown through the club and like you said it was never really about him it was the people.

[@ohyeahitsnat]

It's so funny how almost every reaction I see including me went STFU to Dr. Jacob during the match lmao

[@CaptainFirefred]

I just realised that in the last scene, the music that was used to signal an anxiety attack transitioned into a nice beat.

[@lulyfernandess1]

Just some random things from the magazines in the airport I think you didn't notice: zava comes back from retirement to play for a soccer team in LA, which is *exactly* what zlatan did in real life. Rupert's former assistant goes to the reality show "Lust Conquers All", the love island parody that Jaime was in. Bex publishes a recipe book with recipes to make with a placenta. Shandy actually launches Starfucker and is successful. Trent's book has "a very brief foreword by Roy Kent". I think that's it :)

[@Ronka79]

needed some Lasso in my life, glad I was able to get it by rewatching this with you. 💗

[@JustShaunLV]

I gotta say man, I dont comment much, but I had to tell you, I really dig the real raw emotion you show in these. Hits me the same. Got a new sub.

[@cozydayzandnightz]

This wasn't my first time watching a reaction of this series, but it was a best. Most people shy away from showing their emotions when it comes to the hard stuff, but you show it all, and it's beautiful. After a bit of a break, I look forward to binging the series. Thank you for a great reaction series.

[@sarahendres5318]

Oh my, my heart def fluttered when you mentioned The Good Place! I hope it wins next time! Separately, I don't think I've ever commented on one of your vids before but I have to say how much I appreciate and admire your willingness to show your emotions without apology. Thanks for helping normalize that 💛

[@kristinaschlegel2680]

Farewell song is from Sound of Music!

After Guardians of the Galaxy 2 I can't hear that song and not cry anymore

[@nicolaskaito4769]

Will remember this show forever.

[@adambenson4870]

It’s one of the best shows ever made

[@nanatalie_bh]

I feel like it is strongly implied that Ted and Michelle will eventually reconcile. But I love that they didn't show it.

[@ALeafOnTheWind42]

While Ted and Michelle is pretty ambiguous (and intentionally so), it's pretty clear that Michelle isn't with Dr. Jacob in the end. If you pay attention to the scenes with Michelle, Henry, and Dr. Jacob during the match, you'll see that Dr. Jacob is physically getting further away from the other two, symbolically showing them drifting apart. Combined with Michelle and Henry not wanting anything to do with his commentary during the match and him being nowhere to be seen after Ted gets home, it's pretty clear he and Michelle are done. After this episode aired, Brendan Hunt (Beard) did an AMA on Reddit. You'd probably be interested in checking it out

[@IAmThatBit--]

Dr Jacob is the true villain of the whole show

[@forsythiahoareau6456]

He iş. By dating his patient, he broke so many ethical laws of his practice.

Oh, boy... Let me go get some tissues and wait. Laughs will be had and tears will be shed

[@jbashore3468]

I've been watching this series just to see that "OH! OH! OH!" reaction to Rebecca's Amsterdam pilot.

[@kathyastrom1315]

I loved that they left Keely’s romantic status as ambivalent. Did she end up with either of her two exes? Did they all just stay friends? Who knows! Rupert’s fall was satisfying, made more so by the regret you see on his face when all he can hear is “Wanker!!” shouted at him from the fans that he had once been a part of. The fact that Ted is not happy to see him brought so low is not a surprise, but Rebecca doesn’t like it either, which shows just how far she’s recovered from the divorce. I loved all of the small callbacks here. One of the most subtle is Nathan’s “‘S wonderful!” when hearing that Jamie and Roy were now friends. He said it exactly the same way in season 1 and Ted appreciated his use of the classic show tune. I also loved the Higgins family barbecue at the end, with everyone showing up, including Rebecca and her Dutch pilot with his daughter who obviously knows and is friendly with Phoebe, and Dani and Zorro playing nerf battle with the Higgins boys.

[@balansboy]

That final montage gets me every damn time.....😭

[@celescoles]

Aww I'm sad that The Good Place lost but The Bear is an amazing show too and I am looking forward to seeing your reaction to it. Your Ted Lasso videos also were a place of comfort for us. Your love for it and your thoughtful commentary made for a lovely rewatch. It was a really special show and I will always remember how kind it was towards life.

[@TamiThePinkHairedGirl]

One of my favorite things about watching reactions to shows I've watched and loved is that I get to experience them all over again, and at the same time see someone else fall in love with the stories and the characters. I've looked forward to your Ted Lasso reactions every week, and I'm so excited to watch you react to The Bear!

[@izzydubmusic]

I loved the Gold in the tears of the the believe sign. Brings me back to the bowl from the psychics house.

[@UserName-vb4lg]

Yeah agreed. This is a beautiful finale to a lovely show.

[@laurabrewes1422]

McAdoo is always so extra, & I love it. And them using the People's Court music is just fantastic.

[@santa1563]

dang the good place is such a *great* show. def hope you check it out eventually.

[@rolandcooke]

Leicester City FC, who shocked everyone by "winning the whole bloody thing" after narrowly avoiding relegation the year before, won the Championship this year and will play in the Premier League once again in the 2024-25 season.

[@ColtonSteiner]

This show is just such a comforting and motivational one that I loved every single season. I don't think I've ever had a warmth in my heart from a show as much as this one. The character development of all the characters is absolutely phenomenal. Even the smaller side ones made amazing stride from season one to this last one. It's been a pleasure watching you react to the entire series!

[@david.j9.rabbithole808]

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your Ted Lasso journey. Thank you!

[@gameoverman3673]

the BEST reaction to this show. thankyou

[@timbarney4941]

I love Isaac’s fine to Nathan Shelly, it was the team’s way of saying they forgive him and he was always a part of the Team.

[@jthomann71]

The good thing is that you can always rewatch the series, I've done it many times. It's like comfort food. The bad thing is it's sometimes a struggle to get through the first season because you want the 2nd and 3rd season character growth from Jamie and others.

[@h3n_z3r]

Oof, a love hate relationship here, love that you experienced it, hate that’s it had to finish.

[@mirkecWii]

18:07 I NEED a compilation of Nate getting scared 😂😂😂

[@foof76]

So happy you're doing The Bear next! That's a great one to slide into after this. Also has some really great character arcs through the seasons. A bit more drama than Ted but still very touching at times. Sad to see Ted go again, but it's been great watching someone else experience it new.

[@ericmcclure1159]

The world could use more shows like this. I really hope they do a spin-off.

[@classydan]

I think it’s a known fact that this is one of the greatest finales to a show ever.

[@scottirvine121]

Redemption and forgiveness Beautiful callbacks and nods to many movies and songs Perhaps some of the best writing

[@lovecrime13]

Aw man I felt horrible with that GOTCHA moment between Ted and Rebecca! We got played 😂

[@erikaleighhh]

nothing in this show made me sob harder than when i realized Roy decided to start therapy. what a wonderful ending for a character we love so much. he wants to change. he’s done everything he could on his own to change but decided ON HIS OWN that it still wasn’t enough for him….cue dr sharon 🥹 wowowowow.

[@silentben]

I've greatly enjoyed watching you come near or to tears around 34 times watching this series (I say as a dude who was tearing up at every one of those same scenes despite having watched this whole show 3 times already).

Such a good finale, especially that final montage! Have loved your Lasso reactions, all the way from the start! Looking forward to the next journey with you!

[@vhugom]

If you want to see a series that is equally "beautiful" and "comforting", try watching The Good Place... a very good show that grows with each chapter.

[@rolandcooke]

Really looking forward to your watch of The Bear. The first season is really great, the second season is somehow even better, including two of the finest episodes of TV ever.

[@elbrew2223]

Omg. To go from ted lasso to the bear? I would invest in a few stress balls if i were you.

[@jalojenkins8316]

I don't know if there was ever a perfect TV show from start to finish but even through only watching reactors watch this since I don't have Amazon Prime or whatever it was on, this show is PERFECT.

[@forsythiahoareau6456]

I like that they left Keeley’s lovelife hanging. Her journey should be one where she needs to do on her own for sometime, not having to always attach herself romantically with someone. Only then she can be, Keeley “fucking” Jones.

[@korganrocks3995]

Amen! It's also much better for Roy and Jamie's friendship, not to mention that as cute as Roy and Keeley were together, I've shipped Roy and the teacher since their first scene together.

[@jopiter8]

Ah I wish you’d react to the good place since it’s already finished. And is such a different show. But the bear is pretty good!

[@robmoore423]

The number of times this episode - this series - made me cry... Holy shit.

[@renmcg12]

I absolutely blubbered my way through this finale, it was sheer perfection. I think it overtook the title of my favorite, most perfect series finale (long held by Parks and Rec). It was such a joy to watch this series with you, I’m so glad you loved it, it’s a special show.

[@arwyss]

Have you seen The Good Place? PERFECT finale. Great show start to finish.

[@rickymorphew2245]

The bear is right up there with the newsroom as one of my absolute favorite shows.

[@emarjamaa2276]

There are some great videos out there that point out all of the Easter eggs and callbacks in the episode.

[@jthomann71]

There are people out there who not only don't like this finale but don't like the whole final season. Absolutely ridiculous.

[@ryanbryce2752]

Possibly the best ending of a show ever.

After finishing this show last year, I’ve probably watched about 12 different reaction series. I’ve loved watching others react to my favorite characters and moments throughout all three season. This is the first that I’m leaving a comment under. I found my self looking forward to your reactions every single week, more excited than the last as you neared the finale. This has been a lovely series and I will absolutely be sticking around to rewatch The Bear with you!

[@vadalia3860]

I can't believe Danny got two girlfriends but Keeley couldn't have her two boyfriends! It's canon in my book!

Sam was shown on the Nigerian national team. So he still plays for Richmond

Did you catch all the call backs in the final episode? Look it up, best ones for me was the final play and where Jamie kept his part of the believe sign

Loved following your journey with these reactions. This show is one of my favorites and seeing how much it took over your heart and place it inside your top 10 of all time does make me smile. So glad you enjoyed this.

[@MikeWillisUK]

Very much looking forwards to The Bear! Another amazing show! (Very different vibe to this one though, lol)

I like to believe Teds son grows up to be a professional player and joins Richmond ❤

[@vlasta002]

Love this show, it helped me during worst times of my life, it was a pleasure to re-watch with you!

[@ronfaulkner3925]

This is a very minor point, but from the first time they showed Shannon "sticking it to The Man" and the few times she interacted with Ted and even Henry, I thought they might find a way to work her into the story. In that last montage when Keely pitched the the idea of a women's team to Rebecca, I wish Shannon was there with Keely. She'd be the first player I'd sign. Again, minor point. I love this show. Also Phil Dunster was brilliant as Jamie from start to finish.

[@panamafloyd1469]

I thought I read somewhere that Shannon originally wasn't going to be a recurring character until the audience received her so well on her first appearance. IIRC, her character didn't even have a name then, she was "Soccer Girl in Park" or something. My little pack of soccer fans still consider Shannon showing up again as proof that when you get 'nutmeged', they carry your soul in their back pocket. 😆 I was actually kind of stoked to see her at Trent's book signing.

[@Alejpelz]

It's so bitter sweet after this episode. I'm glad you enjoyed it like the rest of us :D
