Ted Lasso 1x03 'Trent Crimm: The Independent' | First Time Reaction

[@christophervillalba4139]

It was this episode where, afterwards, I pressed pause, went and got my wife, told her she needed to watch this show, then started it from the beginning with her.

[@UCFJayBird]

Exact same scenario for me as well.

[@meganbrick6266]

Me too, with my husband!

[@vgkbeast1992]

I watched the entire first season late at night when i couldn’t sleep, the next day I sat my dad down and forced him to watch it and he ended up loving it

[@FenixNade]

similar, My sister showed me the first 3 episodes, then I told my fiancee about it and we started from the beginning

[@congoliab]

Yeah, this was the one when I committed, it's my favourite.

[@weirds0up]

“Is Ted Lasso going to make me cry?” Oh my sweet summer child. You have no idea.

[@sfurules]

I came here to either make a comment or make sure someone had...cause uh....yeah....it's gonna absolutely make you cry or you don't have a soul.

[@salvation122]

Barbecue sauce.

[@justinrooney1728]

The hug 😭

[@619Gotenks]

This ending is what really sold me on this being a really heartfelt show. I was a little amazed by how happy it made me feel.

[@meganbrick6266]

Yes! Exactly ❤

[@KayinAngel]

What people might already forget is that this show dropped a few months into pandemic lockdowns and we all needed the pick me up. This show was it.

[@brl0522]

I didn’t watch it until late 2023.. I’m always late to the game 😊

I love how Higgins starts out reading the article aloud, but after he says "rem, these are his words, not mine," it switches to Trent's voice.

[@cward1701]

But mostly happy tears, right? I don't really remember many sad tears. Sometimes, extremely touching tears. Some of the time I found myself moved for an unknown reason. The writing is just so good. Some of Ted's speeches belong in a philosophy class, not a sitcom.

[@VolcanoGroupie]

Absolutely!

[@boogaloobaloo]

"Thank you... fuck you..." might be the peak.

[@panamafloyd1469]

Heh. My first thought was, 'Cry? Oh, this show's gonna dehydrate you.' 🤣

[@paulhewes7333]

For real...Over and over again...

[@kendric2000-q3d]

I love Roy has a constant scowl, until he sees his niece and lights up with a huge smile...and he treats her with care and love. :) All squishy on the inside.

[@RR-oy1yh]

Roy loves kids and kids love Roy. Just the softest, squishy-ist teddy bear of a man on the inside. On the way to becoming the best version of himself.

[@DrLipkin]

@@RR-oy1yh Teddy bear on the outside too. You see all that hair?

You. Are. In. For. Such. A GREAT STORY. I can’t wait to see you two cry with joy.

[@LudusAurea]

And it gets so much even better.

[@laurakali6522]

Trent’s hair is second only to Steve’s hair from Stranger Things.

[@alexreverman4585]

What I love is that Trent is won over, but not in like a super schmaltzy kind of way. He still has his doubts about whether or not Ted's attitude is going to *work*. He's still skeptical enough to think that Ted will probably fail, but he genuinely comes to like him nonetheless.

[@bobashley7533]

“Is Ted Lasso going to make me cry?” - yes, multiple times… even rewatching I tear up… Keep good work ladies!

[@mattgarfinkle978]

You both are in for the best ride. And it’s trippy as hell to go back and watch old SNL sketches starting Ted Lasso and Barry.

[@siphillis]

To answer Maple's question: you're about to cry over a game of darts

[@Andorski]

and later... two players hugging.

[@thewonkyembouchure]

What drives someone to leave signposting comments that they think are so subtle only insiders would get their significance, yet are so obvious to outsiders?

[@siphillis]

​@@thewonkyembouchure What drives someone to think "At some point, a character plays darts in a memorable sequence" is some sort of privileged information that would spoil the entire scene? Hell, I'm convinced a lot of people got into the show BECAUSE of that scene

[@michaeltaberner4079]

Most of the reactions is just your smiles getting bigger and bigger. And we are here for it.

[@BigMike246]

Honest to god. I love this show. I love every single character. What perfection. And I love-love-love it when Roy has an epiphany.

[@Altophish]

Watching Ted Lasso is a long warm hug for your soul.

[@christophervillalba4139]

TED LASSO DAY!!!!

[@dmann05]

I look forward to this every week! Love your smiles watching this, they are infectious!

[@maggie4028]

This episode really shows what Ted Lasso is all about. I think the way we learn about Roy and how knowing more about him changes how we view him along with his development fueled by support and understanding! I love this show so much!

[@Save_One]

Reliving the series through the eyes of those who haven't seen it yet is almost more rewarding and wholesome than watching it for the first time yourself. You two are just scratching the surface for the show, but I can't wait to each episode week after week.

[@lvfd6117]

Absolutely love Kelly and Rebecca's friendship and women supporting women attitude, and it warms my heart that the actresses Hannah and Juno became incredibly strong friends in real life, you can feel it when they interact

[@JishinDX]

I am so delighted by how much you guys love the show. Having watched your content for a while I had a feeling it would be perfect for you two.

[@SchitwsorthMcderpins]

You ladies are NOT ready. I GUARANTEE, you will cry by the end of this series. The relationships that form between everyone... the way that damn near EVERY SINGLE PERSON in this show grows.... it's so awesome. This is in my top 3 favorite shows of all time. Seriously...

[@body_by_depuy]

Just when you think this show couldn't make you cry anymore, you'll find yourself sobbing. You have no idea what's coming...

[@bmnbl]

I guess you girls found your "feel good" show :) happy to see you smile from start to finish.

[@samuelchallis3420]

It occurred to me very recently that Roy is specifically playing for Richmond because his sister and Phoebe live in that area. Also, Colin is the one that ordered the vanilla vodka

[@scottirvine121]

‘Is ted lasso gonna make me cry’ 😂😂

[@squaddie67]

I've heard it said more than once that Ted Lasso is "Chicken soup for the soul". Your reactions about how you need this in your life support that statement.

[@rondog5]

I liked Juno Temple (Keely) in this show, but fell in love with her in Fargo.

[@ForeverBrooklynNYC]

I wish they did a better job with her character during the final season

[@fayesouthall6604]

@@ForeverBrooklynNYC because she was filming Fargo her scenes were not as many.

[@Wiley_Coyote]

I think this episode was the one that made it clear what an awesome character she is. Roy too. You start thinking of them as just side characters and around here it becomes clear they're not.

[@snowfort77]

We should all aspire to Ted Lasso’s level of compassion. I wish everyone could have a Ted Lasso clone to lift them up throughout the day. My eyes water thinking about it.

[@feudist]

Ted makes genuine niceness a superpower.

[@Sig509]

It is just disarming people, as they are not expecting that.

[@markkondilis9237]

Yes, Ted Lasso will make you cry. Both kinds of tears. EDIT: I forgot laughter. You'll cry laughing too.

[@MrDarkbluman]

This is my favorite show. I rarely ever rewatch things, but I've... sort of rewatched it... 4 times already, by catching four other KZbinrs do a first-time reaction to it. You two are the 5th. I love you guys, anyway, and the fact that you're watching my fav is just perfect. I just wish I could binge several episodes straight instead of wait for the next.

[@RR-oy1yh]

I really love female reactions to this show. Y'all always pick up on things that male reviewers miss-your reaction to Keeley and Rebecca's conversation on the couch was great! The women in this show have such power and agency and the men are (with a few exceptions) a repudiation of the toxic masculinity we've been fed for the last decade or more.

[@dgillphotos]

Best ever! I love Trent - straight shooter!

[@charliefoxtrott1048]

This Episode had a mirroring ending "F-bomb, S-head, somethng to eat, training, middle part, training headers, eating, s-head and the f-bomb"

[@dillonharnden-shea57]

Yall earned this show with all the hellish pain you’ve been watching haha

[@HDgodfrey]

This is my 3rd watch in a row. I knew I would love this show but refuse to give apple my money. Thank you for giving me a way to watch. Honestly, the commentary is a bonus. I'm really a fan of you two. Also watching peaky blinders for the first time with you two. Thanks for the content!

[@BatteryH1862]

Each of the books Ted gives to the players is specific to them. Ted wants Roy to find his inner leader. Sam's book is "Ender's Game", about a young prodigy far from home. Jamie's book (that he throws away) is "The Beautiful and the Damned" the tale of a young man with money but no moral underpinnings. The show has 1,001 small details.

[@jeffreydegraw4070]

This show is so good!! I learning more about Roy starting here, he’s one of my favorite characters in the whole show.

[@ericg.43]

When I first watched, I liked the first episode. In the second episode, “Caesar you later. Yes!!!”, got me hooked. And “do you want me to be the little girl?!” is when I knew I loved this show. Enjoying your reactions. 👍🏻

[@laurasedor4641]

Ted Lasso will 100% make you cry

[@dgillphotos]

The world needed Ted during COVID and we need him now. A well needed breath of honesty, fresh air, kindness, genuineness in a time of sarcasm, take down, tribalism, fear and cynicism.

[@stupidsminkle]

I just wish I could binge watch your reaction to this show, it's soooo good and I know y'all will love it the whole way through!

This was the episode that cemented my love for this show. The 1st was mildly funny, the 2nd was better and I started getting interested. By this one, I was addicted. This came out during the pandemic and it helped my mental health during the lockdown. It is my favorite show of all time

[@JosephHernandez-u1n]

[@Robmcil]

Great review as always ladies. Ted Lasso is a great show so glad you are watching it.

[@gnomescape]

The best thing about the relationship between Keely and Rebecca is that the two actors became best friends in real life so the chemistry is real.

[@Shifty1971]

I about hurt myself laughing when Rebecca said "So, I spoke to the owner of the sun" and Ted just exclaims "You spoke to God!"

[@lewismaddox4132]

That's the key isn't it? If you, "Help these young men grow and become the best versions of themselves on and off the field," the wins will come. Granted, he's coming from a Division II university where very young men are trying to make that bridge from larva stage to maturity, and AFC Richmond is a professional team where jobs and a community's pride and sense of unity are at stake, essentially they are still young men needing that positive male role model and guidance. This show helped me survive the pandemic.

[@SilentBob731]

I’ve been watching a lot of things related to politics lately. I’ve been seeing people going at each other’s throats. I hate how something like a difference of opinion can make people hate each other. Hate strangers they don’t even know what they went through in life. I think watching Ted lasso should be mandatory. At least then if you’re acting like a douchebag we can all agree it’s because you’re a douchebag. You can’t watch this show and be hateful unless you’re truly evil at heart.
