Ted Lasso Season 3 Episode 12 So Long, Farewell Reaction of Syntell and Snootyvegans

[@rickykozak58]

Also my interpretation of Sam making the national team was that he managed to play so well that the Nigerian government saw more value in having Sam on their team than a 20 million dollar cheque from a Ghanaian billionaire. It makes sense. It’d be unthinkable if Argentina accepted a bribe to keep Messi off their team, so idk, I liked it.

[@fayesouthall6604]

Bullseye

[@stpnwlf9]

Also, the national team for International Week is a one-off, single game event. The national team for world cup purposes is a different animal.

[@kengel100]

I like to imagine that Rebecca had his back

[@layla515]

I think Edwin Akufo probably lost influence after his hissy fit when the Super League failed to gain traction.

[@twb6yz361]

They also had to get over the fact that he called the Nigerian government corrupt during the Air Dubai stuff

[@gellibeardarktoast2428]

The guy who the ball in the face was Rebecca's boyfriend for a little while until she was persuaded that she deserved better than OK.

[@stpnwlf9]

John Wingsnight -- and it was fitting that he had his face bloodied. He seemed to have a penchant for violant confrontations.

[@lcflngn]

Awesome to know

[@GodofMMA23]

We know

[@wilsonmark339]

" he's fine it's not about him it's about you deserve someone.....".

[@_abracadabra]

While watching the finale, I had a real-time realization that Rebecca's narcissistic mom is also the narcissistic mom in Succession, Lady Caroline.

[@fayesouthall6604]

Absolutely right

[@WillBernstein]

"Be a goldfish" is the first thing he said to Sam in the first ever episode when Sam was struggling to adjust to the UK. Fitting he says the same line to his son as the last line of the series... look how far Sam's come. It's all about overcoming adversity, which we saw just about every character overcome in some way, by shaking off one's mistakes and thinking positively for the future. That's the culture he fostered and instilled at Richmond, and it resulted in so much character growth for just about everybody around Ted.

[@WillBernstein]

"Assistant to the kit man" is another (American) Office reference where Dwight always wants to be "Assistant Regional Manager" and Michael always corrects him as "Assistant to the Regional Manager." Lots of Office references: earlier in the season, Ted said "That's what the lady from the American Office said" (referencing Michael's constant distasteful "that's what she said" jokes)... these are everywhere throughout the series.

[@Deepthoughtsabound]

All the way to him saying not to call it the Lasso way.

[@Deepthoughtsabound]

The permission thing is about his story to Nate. He wants to be loyal to Ted because of what he did for him. I really like the Roy, Nate, and Willis shot at the end. Roy getting into therapy. Ted coaching his boy. The fact every player had a piece of the sign. Nate bawling. Rebecca bawling. Jamie and his dad. I was a coach (different sport). National finalists and record holders. Then we had our second kid. I left to be available more for my family. I miss it, but I dont second guess it. There isn't a single morning when she starts saying "daddy...are you?" That think I could be coaching right now. This show just hits. It connects with everyone

[@fayesouthall6604]

Perfect ending 😊

[@jessh8972]

I took Ted's end as the only end that made sense. He ran away from Henry at the start of the series because he was scared to let him in and deal with his crumbling marriage. He spent his 3 years with the team learning how to be a better, more well rounded person. Ted broke cycles of toxicity in the team but within himself as well. He did what we saw neither one of his parents do: put his son first. I am also glad that most people didn't end up in romantic relationships. So many shows don't put platonic relationships on the same level as romantic ones and it does such a disservice to how important friendship is. Also female team?? Bless.

[@jamiefinch148]

The free kick at the end was a call back to season one when Ted was teaching Jamie not to be selfish. Jamie made the same over exaggerated gestures that Ted made.

[@_abracadabra]

The golden glue in the Believe sign is based on the Japanese technique called Kintsugi.

[@jq8913]

This episode was awesome, I thought they did well with all the open storylines but also creating interesting spinoff ideas without leaving any major cliffhangers. The only thing I would have loved to see is a scene where Trent is reading some of his book while showing us montage similar to how he read the article in Season 1 when Rebecca hired him thinking he'd trash Ted.

[@ChicagoDB]

Yes… “The Lasso Way” was an excellent episode in Season One.

[@mikeydon1010]

Did y’all notice the couple with the baby at Burd’s wedding is the couple Burd was running from last season when he jumped off the roof

[@catherinedudley-fr3re]

No, oh my gosh. That’s hilarious!

[@MrTIMSARAH]

Thanks for the shout out guys! Loved watching the series with you both. I'm not upset to be wrong, but I am sad for Ted that he had to give up so much, including the family and community that finally fully embraced and accepted him. Not sad for him reuniting with his son, just think they could have found a way for them to be together in England.

[@lcflngn]

Sigh…

[@Amanda-wh8ww]

Agreed. However if they do more seasons or spin offs I think they left it open where that could be a possibility.

[@brianblock82]

You two have very quickly become my favorite reaction duo. I adore your love for the show, and for each other. Appreciation for he call backs and making each other laugh are also a plus. Much love to you both. Brian

[@ignatiuskhan]

Don't know if you spotted him but the guy wearing Van Damme's mask after taking McAdoo's ball in the face, was no other than Rebecca's very temporary date in season 2. Guys, it's been a pleasure watching adorable you react to this sweet series. Hopefully I'll see you again for a new season for, just like you, I don't want it to end.

[@axr7149]

This is where the 'shite in nine'ing armor' prediction comes from.

[@gloriaeverson8577]

Jason Sudeikis always said he initially envisioned Ted Lasso to have the same structure as The Office (British version). That guy...was in the British The Office - Patrick Baladi

[@ignatiuskhan]

@@gloriaeverson8577 Oh, well spotted. As much as I love Ricky Gervais, I never watched The Office a part from a few episodes here and there. Always feel sorry for poor david Brent ;)

[@ChicagoDB]

The woman he kissed and got blood on, was the woman he met on dating site and fell for after Rebecca ended dating him… He was a huge football fan…and fan of Roy.

[@rory_pond1701]

It wasn't included in the reaction, but the picture with the tape across it that Roy puts up in the manager's office is one of Phoebe's naked breast pictures from Season 2. Another great callback.

[@MrBlackBono]

Maaaan seeing this show ending on the high note and teary note ooooh man I’m going to miss it

[@janaris97]

40:30 I think the word you’re looking for is “kintsugi”. Kintsugi is the Japanese art of putting broken pottery pieces back together with gold - built on the idea that in embracing flaws and imperfections, you can create an even stronger, more beautiful piece of art.

[@sonofliberty1]

I've loved your reactions to this series and this was no exception. Thank you and I look forward to watching your reactions to other stuff.

[@JenLASanFran]

You two are charming and I’ve enjoyed watching this with you ❤

[@jake_gon_jinn]

This show has a special place in my heart and forever will. What a masterpiece of a show and one of the greatest writings ever. The ending did hit me with that beautiful Cat Stevens' song, which is one my top 10 fav songs of all times. I'm so sad to see it came to an end. And I've really enjoyed your reactions of this masterpiece of a show these past weeks. ❤

[@subbtopp]

The perfect ending to a wonderful series ! Will love Ted Lasso for ever.

[@m.i.n.k.y.m.o.o.]

Ted was Mary poppins all along ☂️. (They confirmed by using the same song they used at Yondu’s funeral in guardians of the galaxy - Cat Stevens. “I’m Mary Poppins y’all”.) #TedLasso series was near perfect. 💙💛 Balm for the heart & Soul 💛💙

[@deleciadean5742]

I loved it! 😭 I think Jamie and Roy's relationship is what I really cared about the most. I think it was very realistic that they would still be friends because men are different than women. Lol! They both understood that they were both being dumb poo poo heads and it was never their decision. It was always what Keely wanted. I think they love her enough to not put her in the middle of something they decided. I thought this episode was perfect. I didn't need to see Sam's story and how he got there. I feel like Nigeria respects Sam so much and how great of a player and person he is to deny him this time. We saw that Naukufu (spelling?) League was crumbling and no one cared anymore. Perfect ending to such a wonderful show. 😭

[@BumpyBaluga]

Props to Coach George for keeping it honest in the end.

[@kellifranklin9872]

When I’m wrong I admit it. I was wrong about Nate and happy that I was wrong. He really redeemed himself. I really enjoyed watching this with y’all. Now that this and Succession is over what are what are we going to watch? Lol Also, Harriet Walter portraying Rebecca’s mother and the mother to Kendall, Shiva and Roman from Succession is hilarious as well! Thank y’all so much for the ride!

[@lcflngn]

I so love Harriet Walter! She’s playing a fun character on Silo just now. Gotta say here I love these vlogs, can’t seem to start a comment at the mo, just wanted to say. ❤

[@stpnwlf9]

One can think that the situations shown at the end were happening too fast, but I think they were showing you highlights of the following months after the end of the season - they hired Sharon Fieldstone full time and gave her a title, Keely's team put together a complete proposal for a women's team, Jane was obviously several months down the road from the beginning of that episode -- those things were happening months later.

Love your guys' reaction videos and this was not exception. You are down to earth and so good natured and I really enjoy your banter. Here's an explanation of the Japanese technique of repairing cermaics: It's called Kintsugi , or Kintsukuroi , literally golden (“kin”) and repair (“tsugi”). Kintsugi is the process of repairing ceramics traditionally with lacquer and gold, leaving a gold seam where the cracks were.

[@indade]

[@underwriter53]

The sign on Dr. Sharon’s door said she is now working for AFC Richmond!

[@fayesouthall6604]

Excellent news 😊So pleased to Roy in there !

[@lcflngn]

Loved following this vlog for this show, thank you for all your great perspective! Question, was that Bex with a new guy holding her baby? If so, nice she’s part of the Richmond family. I read somewhere that the actress was outed in some awful leak, and that story came from her. If true good on her, brilliant. Yes on Rebecca selling to fans! We bought a share of the Packers yrs ago as a gift for my kid, love the whole idea. More teams should do that. So much more, but you two (and great comments!) got it all!

[@ChicagoDB]

No…the woman with the baby and the man were from “Beard’s Night Out”…the big man he was running from…who saved Beard from the beating…and returned his wallet. Beard is also wearing the pants from that night.

[@lcflngn]

@@ChicagoDB Aha!! Thanks! Of course, they are all Beard people.

rebecca's friend is quite a good standup comedian, oh and i reckon Ted will be back at richmond as youth acadamy manager.... Henry gets a youth player contract with richmond and ted follows him over..Teds mantra is about preparing his players for the world...perfect for a youth academy manager.

[@CrowTRobot]

I have some issues with the Jamie/Roy squabble but otherwise thought this was a beautiful finale. Every internet blog was rushing to call this “WORST FINALE EVER” but I honestly thought it was pretty strong, especially considering how many other shows left us with disappointing finales.

[@ninnak-ve5ko]

Funny..I see most people being fine with the finale..it literally has 9,5 on imbd. The only crying i am seeing is coming from the annoying shippers

[@fayesouthall6604]

I thought it was pretty godarn perfect 😊

[@Edgar...]

I have a few nitpicks with the finale, but nothing big really. I think they nailed it and while it may not answer all of our remaining questions it provide great positive clousure. 9/10 Ending

[@lcflngn]

Don’t know if you’re watching Silo… It’s weird & not sure I love it, but we’re stuck on it now & seeing it through. Actually would adore your take. Nice addition, Harriet Walter, one of my all time actor faves (Rebecca’s mom) has a nice supporting role. So happy to see her.

[@believeume122]

I thought I wanted them to react to it. But the more and more I watched I decided it's not worth their time. Lol

[@stephanos2758]

oh man, i forgot about the damn cookies!

[@LeahB31]

Dr. Sharon Fieldstone now has a permanent position with the club. I wish she was in the season more, but I’m happy she was in this episode and will help the team including coaches.

[@jessh8972]

PS for next shows I wish more people talked about the pure perfection that was Mr. Robot. What a phenomenal show that never got the praise it deserved.

[@curtisbme]

@43:07 - I thought it was great for how much they had her in the end. We saw her jumping up and down and excited, emotions we hadn't seen from her at all prior to that moment. It let us know that she is possibly not only doing better herself but that she really does care about these folks more than just professionally. And then to have Roy with her was a great continuation for her but it was really about showing that Roy is continuing to try to work on himself. It was plenty to have her in given that she wasn't part of this season. But yeah, I did want to see Akufo get some comeuppance (and perhaps throw another epic tantrum) but trying to fully deal with every thread will not only feel extra forced and artificial, it would also make this a 2 hour last show. So just showing Sam on the national team let us know that Akufo has moved on. I'd guess that his embarrassment at the dinner made him move on or be too belittled to continue to deal with any of them.

[@ChicagoDB]

It’s a safe bet that the series will continue onward with the name “Richmond” or “Greyhounds”…with a continuation of all the characters that we know…probably with cameos from Ted…and/or a return of Ted to the organization later. Many keep speculating that he’d return in a new position…but that would make no real sense. His love is for the team, people there and coaching…and he’s been incredibly successful…so he’ll be back.

[@colleenminahan2478]

Haven’t seen any comments about the change of Keeley’s company names. It went from KJPR to KBPR…??? Barbara?

[@rickykozak58]

Great fake out at the beginning. It NEVER made sense for Ted and Rebecca to get together.

[@wiktoriakorszlak6275]

Of course it made sense? All the signs, parallels, them understanding each other like no one else. It would make perfect sense if they ended up together.

[@ajstyles5143]

It could have made sense. But the way the show has been theyre interactions have been just platonic

[@zimvader25]

​@@wiktoriakorszlak6275 absolutely nothing past any platonic interaction between them throughout the entire series. A relationship between them would've made as much sense as a relationship between Ted and Keeley. Or Roy and Rebecca. Or Trent and Colin. Just because you all created a fantasy in your head, doesn't mean it made sense in real life.

[@zimvader25]

​@@ajstyles5143 using this logic, any relation on the show could've made sense. If the show wanted it, they could've made a relationship between Leslie and Rebecca make sense. But they didn't, so it never made sense.

Great stuff as always @snootyvegans @syntell. Have yall seen True Detective season 3 starring Mahershala Ali? Complete opposite end of the spectrum from Ted Lasso, but it’s one of the great seasons of TV in the last decade with one of the best central performances you’ll ever see. Unfortunately under-appreciated (partly due to it having a black lead IMO)

[@margaretguillory]

My interpretation of the villainy of Rupert is not that they need to have a bad guy throughout, but rather that some people will not/cannot change. Everybody else in the series changed and changed for the better. Rupert did not, because change is hard. Change can be painful, difficult, and messy. Some people just aren't going to change because as messed up as they currently are, how they currently are is easier than change.

[@spbynum]

Loved the first two seasons. This one? Quite a mixed bag. It felt like they stretched 6-8 episodes of material into 12 and kept putting characters into holding patterns. Not satisfied if this really is over.

[@CrowTRobot]

Second half of the season was incredible but I agree that the first half felt like a lot of aimless meandering. Stuff like Zava and Jack&Keely didn’t feel like they contributed in a big way. I also feel like Roy’s arc was sidelined and really damaged by the finale. Impressed with how well they handled Nate this season on the other hand, he and Jamie had really strong overall character arcs.
