Even in a sadder episode, there are some really great, funny lines: "Avenge me, Keeley! AVENGE ME!" makes me laugh every time, the team struggling with not wearing sneakers and Sassy just dragging Rupert are just spectacular XD The fact that Ted and Rebecca's core traumas are implied to have happened on the same day, about the same person (their dad) always struck me as very interesting. And that Ted working through his old grief of his dad actually helps Rebecca deal with her fresh grief over hers. And as much as Jan Maas is Dutch, I do kind of wish he'd kept his mouth shut here.
I don't think the scene of ted and rebecca sharing their traumas was meant to compare the two. it was just another way of showing they're "cosmically connected soulmates" (jason's words, not mine). They went to a traumatic event that changed the way they view their fathers and ultimately changed who they were as people (ted's struggles with fatherhood and rebecca's troubled relatioships with men), and both of them went through that at the exact same time (september 13th 1991, when they were 16), it was meant to show how deep their connection is.
For me, the very best TL episodes are yet to come next season, BUT I feel this episode; 'No Weddings and a Funeral,' is the very best 'written' episode that has ever aired for any comedic television series - BEST WRITING EVER!
♥ Sassy Smurf! 'Avenge me' LoL Roy! 😃 Like the call back to Ted saying Easy Lover was perfect song length to get dressed to Like Sassy talking to Rupert! The editing in this episode is impeccable! Great episode! Never had a rickroll make me cry & laugh! ♥Sam!
You should watch Four Weddings and a Funeral, someday... it's a good, fairly smart, romantic comedy (Ted and the show writers love their Rom-Coms)... with an American (played by Andie MacDowell) in Britain
So many things to comment on in this fantastic episode, but... this is like the fifth Reaction video of this episode I've seen and... ...no one ever mentions/reacts to Sassy implying Ted has a huge 🍆? Somehow it's one of the funniest things in the episode to me.
I agree with you about the cutting-back-and-forth scene. It was very cleverly written, and I can understand the impulse to use humor/farce to take the edge off of something extremely emotionally heavy, but I think it came at the cost of sensitivity here. Like... yes, the word "bang" can be used to refer to both sexy stuff and the sound of a gun, but making a clever joke out of that moment doesn't quite sit right with me. Still love the episode as a whole, though!
I don’t think you get to be the person who gets to judge people’s trauma do you? Additionally don’t compare peoples trauma it’s incredibly disrespectful of the trauma they have.
Extreme dislike of episode 9 & 10. It was absolutely disgusting in every possible way, especially the din of inequity underneath the church which was stupid and absurd. 10 was totally weird up until the parallel dialogue between boss Lady and Ted.
Yeah the only thing i didn't like about this episode was Rebecca's feelings towards her father. There's nothing in this episode to indicate he was a bad father to her. Her attitude towards him seemingly comes from her knowing he cheated on her mom. That was between her dad and her mom. This whole "loyalty" to a parent thing is ridiculous. Never understood it. Who your parents sleep with, is not your concern. Their relationship is not your concern. You don't get to decide how they live their lives or if they have an open relationship or whatnot. That very idea grosses me out as much as dad's who are all up in their daughter's sex life trying to keep them virgins. Unless her dad was abusive towards her, she has zero reason to act that way towards him.
Her feelings are completely fucking justified, and you’re even more wrong about your opinion here because you completely missed the entire fucking point of the end of the episode, where Ted tells Rebecca a story about meeting your father and REMINDS HER that HE WAS at least sometimes a good father.
What a strange way to see this situation. It's perfectly normal to be angry at someone for hurting a person you love and for finding out someone you trusted is actually a cheater, even if you're not the one he cheated on. Rebecca's parents were not in an open relationship.
This episode won a bucket full of Emmys
It’s what it deserves
Won Directiing and Actor for the episode.

11:44 - Don’t forget, Rebecca was texting Keeley before her date with Sam and mentioned running into him. She always was a smart one
Exactly!

It's also wild that they both REVEAL it at the exact same time, 30 years later.
@@HarbekVideos yes!! that too

It wasn't a comparison, it was a juxtaposition.

I know this episode is supposed to be sad, but Roy yelling "Avenge me, Keeley! AVENGE ME!" will always make me laugh hysterically
ok, your idea for the plot of Four Weddings and A Funeral was awesome
imagine a song that gained internet fame for trolling. and they make you cry while they sing that song. what the fuck hahahaha
I really don’t know how they pulled it off

Yay i look forward to fridays so much now 😊

Great reaction to one of the most hard hitting episodes in the series ❤️🩹

Just a brain dead opinion here man. Take that one to the shop and fix it up, seriously dude
Oh my dad didn’t emotionally abuse me, just my mother who I love, guess I shouldn’t give a shit

@@hcroussetteMaybe the OP identifies with Rebecca's father, this may explain his strong feelings.
Fun idea: why don’t you watch Four Weddings and a Funeral ?…. 🤷🏾♀️
