TED LASSO 2x9 REACTION & REVIEW | Beard After Hours | First Time Watching

[@paulhewes7333]

"SHUT UP THIERRY HENRY!"

[@rolandcooke]

Doubly funny because Brendan Hunt is a HUGE Arsenal fan. 😂

[@Crazyivan777]

We get an important chunk of Beard's backstory in season 3, and no lie, it hits so hard. Beard is such a great, multi-faceted character.

[@mr.stuffdoer8483]

Yeah his only major writing issue is Jane and him being portrayed as healthy.

[@SilentBob731]

Apparently a lot of folks didn't care for this episode, but I loved it. Beard could totally front his own show.

[@joedunams7505]

It's a cool episode cause we always hear small comments from Beard about crazy things and experiences he's had in personal life and for 1 episode we get to see it first hand.

[@victoriaserreno2398]

This episode is an homage to Martin Scorsese's 1985 film "After Hours." The episode makes slightly more sense if you've seen the movie.

[@briantidwell651]

The oddly intense thing Beard said on the elevator, was a quote from Fight Club… after he almost “killed” that Asian guy

[@CaptainFirefred]

Raymond K Hassel has now a flurishing veterinarian practice on a big farm out of town.

[@jamesripley6712]

This one and the Christmas episode are last minute fill ins as they decided to give the show a couple of extra episodes . . They stand alone because the season story thread was already written , so they don't effect the over all show , but give us a look at other sides of various charactors .

[@_laurentheeditor]

Yes! Came here to say this… stand alones that don’t change their story arcs for the season. They were given 12 eps for s2 at the last minute thus the 2 stand alone eps

[@stpnwlf9]

The name Beard gives at the bar - Declan McManus - is the real name of singer Elvis Costello.

[@jhamptonjr]

Finally! Somebody else picked up on that 🙂

[@tomclemens5345]

Just noticed that the guy who lets the pub trio into the stadium says „walk this way“ and he‘s kinda dressed like a member of Run DMC in the video for that song.

[@coltonholman8842]

I do love this episode because it seems like there's some symbolisms. Ted once said that there's nothing worse than being sad and alone so when beard goes off to be by himself every time he drops his keys he has a new encounter. Every time he feels alone something comes along to try and make him feel not alone including showing that getting yourself beat up which was kind of a symbolisms of beating himself up, also didn't help.

[@lollywit]

In my head-cannon, every night out in Beard's life is like this.

[@uncmello]

At least after every or major losses

[@tsefcik]

This ep is a send up of Scorcese's film After Hours from 1985...and one of my fsvorite eps of the whole series. Still need to watch the Scorcese flick to compare, but I LOVE it bc it bc it's every bit as weird and random and we just knew Beard's "after hours" life would be.

[@Knightowl1980]

I didn’t know that. Though I still dislike the episode unfortunately

[@Bekka_Noyb]

beat me to it

[@Mugipunk]

Btw those two commentators are two legends of the game in real life, their names are Therry Henry and Gary Linker

[@artboymoy]

IMO, Beard was always crazy. Jayne just makes him crazier. We know Berard was doing stuff off hours but this may have been a normal night for him out on the town.

[@fayesouthall6604]

This is an extremely odd and kinda wonderful episode 😊 the magic thing beard does for the lads is special because they can’t afford to watch the team live in the ground and he lets them run free.

[@dartcar7831]

That Fight Club quote was hilarious

[@Bekka_Noyb]

as mentioned before this episode is kinda inspired by Scorsesi's 1985 movie After Hours

[@scrumlass]

This episode is so wonderful, it's pretty much playing on an infinite loop in my mind 24/7 ❤💯‼

[@kristinaschlegel2680]

You are asking all the right questions! 😂

[@SilentBob731]

7:06 Yup. "What the hell?" is a pretty good summation of this episode, in a good way.

[@santa1563]

another example of how little we know about beard up to now: what’s his first name? (don’t answer if you’ve already seen it!)

[@restlessoblivion]

Hell yeah Ted Lasso Tuesday baby!

[@thelittlepixel_4798]

This is my fav episode of the season, it’s so weird I love it

[@EkaterinaDirko]

Can't wait for next week's reaction, my fave episode of the show, very 😭😭😭 one and very 😂😂😂 too.

[@Phizsz]

The buff boyfriend sounds like a more deep/gruff Roy Kent. Kind of looked like him only on the FaceTime call too

[@rich_hill]

Gotta be straight up honest Mike. This is my least favourite episode of TL. Very, very odd indeed. Yes it has it's moments, but it is so far detatched from the whole "Ted" dynamic that, for me it kinda doesn't work! However. I believe in balance. So...Next episode. Incredible. Back to it's best. No spoilers, but my favourite scene from all three seasons is in it. It only features two people. Rupert and Sassy. Enough said Mike. Enjoy... Please keep doing what you're doing. No-one competes. Not even close my man. Much l❤ve.

[@snarkshark8406]

I love this episofe. But a lot of people feel the exact opposite.

[@johneagan5249]

To me, this episode is like the Fly episode of Breaking Bad, my least favorite, and I always skip them in my rewatches.

[@AmazingChi]

I don't not like this because it's weird. I don't like it because it's the one time where it felt like Ted Lasso dropped the ball. The recurring 'dropped keys' motif went nowhere. I was expecting a twist where Beard was attacked on his doorstep (by Jamie's Dad, perhaps), and this was his brain's way of processing the details but it turned out it was just actually his night.

[@julieharden2433]

This is my least favorite episode. The next episode is one of my favorites :0)

[@jhamptonjr]

After hours was a movie by Martin Scorsese back in the late '70s or early '80s. It was about one guy and his crazy antiics over one night. It also had Rosanna arquette in it.🎉
