Ted lasso season 2 episode 1 1231/14/2024 I’m not a piece of shit.” - Colin Hughes, Season 2 Episode 6: “The Signal” “Be a goldfish.” - Ted Lasso, Season 1 Episode 2: “Biscuits” “Football is life.” - Dani Rojas, various episodes And yet, for all who dare to try, it’s best to keep Ted’s simplest advice in mind: “Believe.”Ĭelebrating the Emmy-winning comedy’s March 15 season three debut, The Hollywood Reporter offers up the 30 best quotes from the wide world of Ted Lasso, presented as superlatives. Rounding up the best Lasso quotes is not as daunting a task as the Bantr-sponsored Richmond’s quest to “win the whole fucking thing,” but it’s daunting all the same. It’s brimming with enough quips to match Coach Lasso’s infectious enthusiasm and a veritable stadium-sized amount of heartfelt sentiments - so many you couldn’t fit them all as Post-its on a wall. But what the heroes of Ted Lassolack in a winning record, they more than make up for with winning dialogue.įrom series star Jason Sudeikis and fellow creators Bill Lawrence, Brendan Hunt and Joe Kelly, Ted Lasso deserves its reputation as one of the most quotable shows of the modern television age. If you are a fan of lighthearted comedies, then you will definitely like this show.AFC Richmond doesn’t always bring it on the field. Last but not the least, their accurate portrayal of the truthfully verbose football community around the world is commendable. The show uses a balanced melange of Lasso’s particular brand of American humor with the Britishers’ frankness. He is the epitome of southern American charm and kindness, and this quality of his has been contrasted well against the more blunt and direct British characters. What really makes you keep watching the episode is Jason Sudeikis’s interactions with the English. They did not write Lasso’s character as just another dull white man from the South, and they extended the same courtesy to the British characters. Yes, they may have included the coffee versus the tea debate in the episode, but it solely serves to be comic relief. Fortunately, however, they steered clear of this path. The writers of the show had every opportunity to fall back on those stereotypes that are prevalent for both the nationalities. In fact, one could even say that this delicate balance is what carries this episode. There have been multiple sports comedies where different cultures have been merged, the biggest example of which is ‘Bend It Like Beckham.’ While the show may not become a cult classic like the aforementioned, they do a good job of infusing the vernaculars and ideology of the two countries. The premise of ‘Ted Lasso,’ may not be the most groundbreaking one, but it is executed well. The episode ends with him being unable to fall asleep. It is then revealed that despite his positive facade, not all is well in his personal life, especially his marriage. Ted goes back to the apartment and talks to his family back home. The midfielder and team captain, Roy Kent, even says that he never thought he would be coached by “Ronald McDonald” after Lasso complemented his career trajectory. Ted’s debut doesn’t really make an impact on them, and they are as nonchalant as ever. She even offers her employee, Higgins, a promotion as the new ‘Director of Football Operations’ for his help, and while he does like Ted, he (begrudgingly) accepts.Ĭoach Beard and Ted observe the team’s training session, and they then introduce themselves when the players are in the locker room. So naturally, she thinks that this is the perfect revenge against him. You see, her ex-husband, who cheated on her with multiple women, really loves the team with all his heart. She wishes to completely destroy the club’s reputation. It turns out, however, that Ted is just a pawn in the bigger game that Rebecca is playing. However, Rebecca comes to his aid and defends her new approach by calling it “The Lasso Way.” One reporter even asks him if his employment is a joke. She gives him a tour of the place, after which he is immediately thrust into a press conference. His inept knowledge of the game causes both the reporters and the fans to loathe Ted from the very beginning. The Kansas native then meets with Rebecca at the stadium. However, it seems that Ted is not fazed out one bit. The pair arrive in the UK and even visit Tower Bridge. On the plane, a football fan recognizes him but calls him crazy for taking the job due to the pressure he will eventually face. Ted Lasso travels to the UK with his friend and colleague, Coach Beard. Ted Lasso is then hired as the manager, based on the fact that he led a horrible team (although they played American football) to victory, winning them the national title. She does this because of his subpar performance and the fact that she does not like him one bit. Rebecca Walton fires the team’s current manager, George, and buys out the remainder of his contract.
