The Best of Jan Maas - Ted Lasso (Season 2)

Jan Maas being the breakout star of season 2.
(had to include some background scenes solely for his facial reactions)
He is not being rude. He's just being Dutch.

[@99saar]

As a Dutch person. Jan Maas literally represents our whole country with our directness, blindness towards social cues, and undying need to not think before speaking.

[@siddhantdas1069]

I should watch out before visiting Netherlands then I guess 😂😂

[@spacegerrit9499]

It reminds me of my time in the US when everybody stared at me like I said something odd. I just told 'm they were all fake nice and it made me uncomfortable.

[@tracychallice1099]

that’s what makes the game “Dutch or autistic” so fun

[@andrewlance3898]

@@tracychallice1099Is that the sequel to "Gay or European?"

[@Paragon231]

En hoe!

[@Sorasnoctis]

“I believe in communism” *Jan Maas shakes his head in agreement*

[@hollisrose4076]

I noticed that too the second time

[@Shenanakins]

comrade Jan Maas!

[@haroldgeorge892]

“Guys Jan Maas isn’t being rude, he’s just being Dutch.” *Team all nod in agreement 🤣

[@bethmariea]

the "masculine melancholy" renaissance painting gets me every time 🤣

[@lupus5859]

The straight-faced "No." when Higgins asks if fried chicken is a tradition will always be my favorite, especially because his smile doesn't drop the whole time.

[@Bobainthome]

this made me laugh enough that I missed the rest of dialogue for another minute

[@C4rb0neum]

As a Dutch person, I was like: "Huh? So no joke around Jan?" Took me a a few seconds to get it.

[@eliawillinger4329]

I love it too cause i would do the same thing

[@Spooderman-sq5uj]

I mean hey it’s fried chicken. Are YOU gonna deny Fried chicken?

[@Spooderman-sq5uj]

Wait no deny is the wrong word. Are you going to be SAD when there’s fried chicken?

[@Mad_Oph]

"No, it's 'Croyf'" "Oh, okay Englishman" Still my favorite exchange with Jan Maas.

[@Pleasant_Excuses]

"I don't know you, but I don't like you!" Lives rent free in my head forever

[@TonyLeadholm]

Jamie Tarrt's reaction to half of these is as hysterical as the words that come out of Jan Maas' mouth themselves. 😂🤣

[@Sofistacation]

"Shot the fock op, Jan Maas!" 😂

[@dwittn9193]

Focks saick

[@nerfmono1]

'okay englishman' is probably my favourite line

[@fighterck6241]

Lol, like, why are you telling him how to pronounce his own words...😂

[@Scubasteve5022]

Same! Such an under appreciated gem

[@shapeshiftingpanda]

I was looking for this exact compilation. The Dutch’s lines aren’t frequent but they’re always gold and hilarious

[@tincantina]

Thank you! I was surprised by the lack of Jan Maas vids

[@thejfoshow1320]

Another (wo)man making this for you is infantilising, yes?

[@beemoney19]

I would die for each and every member of this team. Even Jan Maas.

[@matiaspincheira7571]

especially Jan Mass

[@chriseverett20]

Coach Beard's shocked yet slightly hopeful look when Ted says he believes in communism is hilarious, along with Jan Maas's nod just like 'of course'.

[@Alejpelz]

Jan Maas is like Creed from the office… you mostly see him in the back ground but when they focus on him, he always has great lines

[@Ernie1978]

Jan Maas is great. There is no weak link in Ted Lasso. Gotta love the blokes' friendship!

[@desiboy4444]

He’s the human embodiment that there are no small roles, just small actors.

[@dBOTHERER]

“I don’t know you but I don’t like you” is amazing because of how casual he is saying it.

[@alexkasper5029]

the way jamie says "shut the fuck up jan maas" is the best

[@jonlukevandam]

I always love how hyped they get when they get the dance choreography right. You would swear they just scored a goal in that moment

[@kellycunningham6815]

My favorite is "Hey guys, Jan Maas is not being rude, he's just being Dutch." We had a Norwegian exchange student, a second son to us now, who is exactly like that. Well done Ted Lasso all over again.

[@Emran_Ahm3d]

Love how Jan is like a weird guy in the friend group.

[@theeleanorshellstrop]

jan mass is so iconic, he was such a great addition

[@alexanderboukas5388]

I was worried he would become the new antagonist of season 2 the first time he appeared, but they defused that so quickly and I was honestly relieved, lol

[@kryssie3574]

Married to a Dutch.. He laughs at every Jan Maas line 😅😅 apparently they are exactly like this

[@Valdo19-p9z]

Yea Dutch are the worst insensitive and socially unaware people you'll ever meet, truly incredible species.

[@kaits203]

0:56 was honestly the funniest part of that episode and maybe even the whole show

[@ghoulhexa6461]

Jan Maas is so offensively dutch, the only thing missing is that he not arrive with his bike to the training.

[@tdun15]

well technically it's never stated he DOESN'T ride his bike to training

[@yourfavoritebubbe7444]

I have spent a significant amount of time with Dutch people, this is exactly what they are like

[@lmm7490]

Jan Maas has the best laughs:screen time ratio.

[@SuperLolguy99]

he’s 60 percent the reason why nate turned evil

[@tincantina]

😂

[@SlytherinBookworm]

That and Will existing. 😂

[@jakescott9296]

3:53 has me in tears 😂😂😂

[@kaits203]

“shot do fok op jan mass”

[@MrSotero123]

I personally would like to see more screen time for Jan Maas and Bumbercatch. The same way they gave Isaac and Colin in season 3

[@danielgomes8517]

And richard too, these 3 are so underrated

[@elliot2331]

This was the first time I noticed his nodding after Ted said he believed in Communism

[@leravis]

jan maas is so underrated, one of me favorite characters

[@zxcvbnm35125]

"I don't know you, but I don't like you" is my favourite line

[@cs3473]

I really like Jan Maas because he reminds me so much of a friend of mine (who also happens to be Dutch).

[@TPRM1]

It’s true…he is just really Dutch.

[@SpanishLMMD]

I'm Dutch, and I both love Jan Maas and hate Jan Maas. Which basically means they got the Dutch guy down to a tee.

[@gerdama6058]

i would die for Jan!!!! he has one of the strongest presences as a background character and I love him. (also, partial to him bc I'm studying in the Netherlands and yeah.. life's kinda just like this loll)

[@josenaula7316]

When Jaime tells Roys he needed to give his teammate space, that he learned from pep and then Jan Maas says he learned it from Cryuff. It hinted they were playing total football later.

[@BatmanHQYT]

Jamie: Ra-a-tou-eh

[@hcroussette]

That's not the best of Jan Maas. That's all of Jan Maas.

[@Adamdidit]

He also has an assist on one of Jamie's goals in season 2 I believe

[@lubopetrov5598]

all of Jan Maas is the best of Jan Maas

The mini argument about the pronunciation of Cruyff’s name is one of the funniest 5 second gags I’ve ever seen.

[@Gab19]

You need a part 2 after today’s episode!

[@tincantina]

Right?? I was half tempted to put something together right after watching!

Holy shit! This is the first time i noticed jan nodding his head when ted said he loves communism! How did i miss that?! 😂

[@coolguymcswag667]

i need to move to the netherlands. people being direct would make my entire life easier. plus, its at least a bit colder, which is always a good thing for me

"I brought Fried Chicken!!!" ... "AHH, is that a Christmas Tradition in Holland?" NO ... === Ohh....

[@MaiElizabeth]

Jan Maas is really cute. He looks and sounds like my niece.

[@c_sharp_6160]

You know when I saw him in the beginning of the episode I went “Wait what was his name again?” “I don’t exactly remember. I remember he had a gay moment tho” “Imagine if he actually ended up with a dude” **watches man go downstairs** Good morning “Hmm maybe his mum” “Why would I think that??” **enter Michael** “I’m psychic”

[@nightsassy4430]

Dude, that's Colin. This is Jan Maas.

No I meant the Keeley coming in and introducing bantr and she said the spelling and he compared it to grindr and everyone looked at him

I am still confused how to say Cruyff though this show had dutch people pronounce it on two separate occasions

Unfortunately the vowel sound doesn't exist in English. Closest is maybe the vowel sounds in the word guy, so kr-uy-f. But less with the j-sounds that you add at the end for guy. 😅
