When Jamie is quietly saying "you can't speak to me like that" I always thought that he was putting into use what her learned in sessions with the team Sports Dr.

[@SupaBlank5200]

Yup! I think that was him trying to be the “responsible adult” which is so sad and unfortunate since that should have been his father. I wanted him to get punched but a son shouldn’t have to do it for him to get the message 💯

Jamie flinching when Roy goes to hug him.

[@sharadvemalanathan5236]

@@fayesouthall6604 It's heartbreaking.

[@fayesouthall6604]

@@sharadvemalanathan5236 I know. Awful thing is a drunk aggressive father isn’t that rare.

[@Xone9]

@@fayesouthall6604 Also not surprising just from his history with Roy.

[@calliestephen]

Gets me every single time.

[@seriomarkj]

Its just a lovely bit of acting

[@TyrannosavageRekt]

The fact that pretty much everyone tears up at that hug shows it was a bit of masterful storytelling.

[@thane9]

This was a deeply healing moment for a lot of guys out there. It's easy to cheer the moment (and we all did) he punches his dad, but the real powerful moment that hug represents hits way harder. Too many boys were raised with the only example of acceptable physical touch between men being violence. The fact that something as simple as a hug almost universally evokes tears is evidence of just how broken we are. I hope we can all do better. The world needs a lot less tough guy shit talking and a lot more support and kindness.

[@liammcfarlane13]

The way Jamie stands there after, scared that all of his friends are going to turn against him for hitting his dad, then flinches when Roy comes bounding over to him only to completely break down when he realizes he has a support system that love and care for him 😭😭😭

[@xenonuke1194]

He's here, he's there, he's every-fucking-where. Roy Kent 🥲❤

[@60secthebaptist9]

The part that always gets me about this scene is that the camera flashes to the key players with notable fathers. Sam and his exceedingly supportive father. Nate, who's father is overly critical and withholding of love, Ted, who's father killed himself. They all get a different perspective on their relationships with their fathers by experiencing how toxic jamie's father is The hug, comes from roy, Jamies's hero and surrogate father.

[@DrLipkin]

Jamie's nickname for Roy is "Grand dad," and Roy's own grandfather loved and supported him.

[@tracibrown8826]

How Phil (Jamie) did not get an Emmy, for this scene in particular, is crazy. The look of childhood fear after he hits his dad, the flinch when Roy approaches him

[@floppsymoppsy5969]

some scenes just have a universal reaction. I have yet see a reaction where someone didn't want Jamie to deck his dad.

[@Mourtzouphlos240]

It also means more that Jamie’s childhood hero was there.

[@safespacebear]

Coach Kent teaching those young men by example. One of my favorite moments of the show

[@lewismaddox4132]

Using George Harrison's "Beware of Darkness" in this scene was a master stroke. Whoever put this shit together really knew what they were doing.

[@lindalee5866]

Oh yeah! Couldn't agree more.

[@Mark-zg1gz]

The music through out the series was so well done, my favourite was the use of Leader of the Landslide at the end of episode 9.

[@pkt86737]

Means so much that Roy is the one going for the hug. There is the man you are suppose to look up to (your father) and then there is childhood hero’s as well (Jamie had Roy’s poster as a child). Had to mean so much that one of his idols didn’t fail him

[@ryanmathison3608]

Best line of all: “My body just flooded with equal amounts of testosterone and estrogen.”

[@johntate6537]

Closely followed by, "Perfectly balanced."

[@pepcaone]

A show about soccer shouldn't make you cry. This show about soccer definitely makes you cry.

[@otter011]

Is it blasphemy to call it soccer when you’re commenting on a Ted Lasso video?

[@pepcaone]

​@@otter011 I debated on saying football instead of soccer.

[@yoboyrob201]

cuz the truth is it's not about soccer

[@Isleofskye]

@@pepcaone You just made me cry saying "soccer". Never say that if you come to England,my friend:)

[@ZachWilsonsMomsFriend]

@@otter011the point of language is to clearly communicate. When we say soccer you all know what we’re talking about (even if it annoys some). When we say football, 90% of people assume it’s our football and don’t get the point. Why wouldn’t we use the word that eliminates miscommunication

[@ryannrodkey5669]

Wow! Thank you so much for including my reaction! 🩶

[@taneshah.1260]

Was great to see you in here, I’ve been loving your reactions to this show. Sad we’re almost at the end.

[@ryannrodkey5669]

@@taneshah.1260 thank you!! I know! I can’t believe I’m almost done 😭

[@cjjane12]

Other don't realize how good that Actor who played Jamie's Dad, Because he certainly want all of us to punch him or some sort on this scene. But the Hug gives you all the emotion in life and need to literally tear up. The best

[@Wiley_Coyote]

Roy's Press Conference better be one of these videos. It's the ultimate end point of Roy's evolution.

[@godmade8688]

This show is so beautiful and practically therapy

[@kuhndog63]

Blind Wave is great, i watch them all the time...

[@KeyfurHazze]

I wish I could rewatch this show for the first all over agsin. Damn, it was so good!

[@yoboyrob201]

whoever wrote this show deserved every emmy they could get

[@iye2]

I think this emotionally hits a lot of people because most of us have had those moments where we wish someone, anyone, had shown their support to us, as quickly and quietly as Roy did to Jamie here.

[@phildressel8865]

If people don't understand that Ted Lasso is actually one of the best TV show ever made, they're missing out.

[@shaneg9081]

Beard: "Oops." Also Beard: "Not oops."

[@RobertJW]

The most satisfied "Oops." I've ever heard. And my favourite.

[@simplydavid1408]

Just got this recommended to me, damn i needed that somehow, just to cry

[@eclaire_x88x]

I f'king love Roy as a character, he's such a good man

[@sKaraptor2]

This was a HEAVY episode but also one of the best

[@siphillis]

Jamie's dad is a bit of a cartoon character, but the work the show does to paint Jaime and Roy as three-dimensional people pays off in this exact moment

[@jessicamagri8211]

I can’t remember my exact reaction to Roy hugging Jamie, but I’m pretty sure I cried

[@Tenareth]

I had a not great parent not unlike his dad... I remember when Roy walked across the room and hugged Jamie I bawled.

[@Jabberwokee]

Roy f*cking Kent The man, the myth, the legend If ever there was a representation of what a D&D Barbarian with a reasonable intelligence and wisdom score would look like, it’s him 😂

[@Isleofskye]

Vased 100% on Roy Keane.Former Captain of the Manchester United Football team that won 38 trophies:)

[@sharadvemalanathan5236]

Man, who turned on the water works?

[@MearnieToon]

Reel time for the win!

[@taneshah.1260]

I love them! Hope Zuff is doing ok.

[@bobcarr2649]

If there's a man who didn't watch this with at least a tear or, more likely, a fuckton of tears...then I envy the relationship you had with your father. I didn't have a father but I competed for the affections of a series of drunken dicks that my mother wanted me to call dad, and this was the epitome, the alpha and omega of every relationship I had with a father figure. But I didn't get the hug...I would have taken all the shit they could serve up to me for a hug...but it wasn't done. Not how we did things back then. Ted fuckin Lasso, who'da thunk it?

[@r2streu]

I was blessed with a great dad. I still have him in my life and he's still my hero. And I still cry every time I see this scene.

[@cindyball6998]

You got to say that man played his part but I couldn't stand Jamie's Dad, he was a disgusting ARSE!!!!!!! I liked how Beard just tossed him out and cried when Roy hugged him!

[@Ocrilat]

A different comedy would not have the balls to be this real. They'd ruin the moment with a joke. Not here.

[@Phoenix-nl2ut]

It’s not your fault

[@johntate6537]

Yes, probably the most impactful hug I've seen since that one, and with a very similar background. This series handled trauma and people coping with it so well.

[@Wizardofgosz]

I still think it would have been more powerful if it had been Sam who did the hugging.

[@busylawbee]

Why do you think that?

[@Wizardofgosz]

@@busylawbee because Jamie had bullied Sam quite a bit and Sam at one point said nobody makes him feel worse about himself than Jamie. Sam getting to see the kind of father Jamie had and then forgiving him and hugging him would have been powerful.

[@MickeyDs14]

@@WizardofgoszThat’s a terrible idea. A lot of people have shitty dads, myself included, and we don’t walk around treating people like shit because of it. An underlying theme in the show that isn’t as obvious to most viewers, is each character taking accountability and understanding how to process their feelings in healthier ways. It would defeat the purpose of the series to not have Jamie earn Sam’s friendship. He shouldn’t get a pass simply because everyone finally got to see the source of his trauma.

[@Wizardofgosz]

@@MickeyDs14 no one's giving him a pass. He's got a lot of redemption and making up to do. But it still would have been better if Sam gave him the hug. The terrible idea is making all sorts of assumptions about what I think about Jamie.

[@tracy4290]

I think it's more powerful *for Jamie* because it's Roy, who's been sniping at him the whole time, who Jamie *said* he's been looking up to and respecting since his childhood. Roy, who's bad at showing that he cares, but clearly (to us) does. So Roy's hug is going to mean a lot, as a coach, mentor, older man, role model, that Sam, as a team-mate who Jamie only recently has begun to respect (more like a younger brother), just can't match.

[@rainydaydreamawy]

The George Harrison is the perfect touch.
