I loved the episode where Sam had to quit being the face of a shady company spilling oil in Nigeria. As a Nigerian, I loved that the show openly accused the Nigerian government of being corrupt which is entirely true irl
My favourite part of that little subplot is that Cerithium (like the name of the fictional oil company) is a kind of shell - like Shell, the oil company that is ACTUALLY responsible for environmental destruction in Nigeria. They got about as close as Apple would let them to just naming names on the show, and I kinda respect that
I loved the episode (series 2 finale) when Sam saw some kids playing in Richmond shirts with his name on the back and the sponsor name with black tape over it.
You missed Keely being based on Keeley Hazel, who appears herself as Bex. Also Cerithium Oil are an incredibly thinly veiled expy of Shell Oil, right down to Cerithium being a type of snail.
Don’t know if anybody mentioned it but when Danny Rojas is singing the theme song in Spanish while running on the treadmill behind Roy in the garbage can ice bath right before the actual theme sequence starts cracked me up. The show is an absolute gem of delightful surprises and super cool Easter eggs.
Higgins’ wife in the show is his real life wife. The last names of the Richmond players are people from Sudeikes’ life as well. And “Beard After Hours” is based on the Scorsese movie After Hours. And Beard references Back to the Future with the “Ronald Reagan” line.
Also, the whole Bantr relationship is definitely a nod to The Shop Around the Corner and You've Got Mail. Right down to the Bossgirl (Shopgirl) and LDN152 (NY152) usernames. I adore all the great movie nods. I also wonder about Dr. Sharon Fieldstone being a not to Dr. Marcia Fieldstone from Sleepless in Seattle?
Yes! I thought about those two Easter eggs as well. I think it’s too deliberate to be coincidental. Especially since Sharon let’s the players call her Doctor Sharon like “Doctor Marcia” on the phone did.
Roy Kent is my spirit animal. The Underhills line had my ROFLOL. Its one the most brilliant call backs I've ever seen. I think it goes unnoticed by most.
@@paigerina73 yep! The actor who plays Nate said by the end of the season he was wearing a wig so his character resembles Rupert more and more each episode
As someone from Kansas City, I love that t-shirt that 99% of watchers won't understand without having it explained. It's also a good way of showing Ted's homesickness.
I believe that the wonderful challenge to Rupert by Ted to a high stakes game of darts also includes a "Princess Bride" reference. Ted "remembers" that he's not right handed and then proceeds to win... while misquoting Whitman "be curious, not judgmental." In the great "Princess Bride" sword scene, both Inigo and Westley begin by fighting with their non-dominant hand.
As a Brit I absolutely love this show, especially as a football fan also. I loved the reference to Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s ownership of AFC Wrexham.
Best part of watching this … learning that the dance Ted did was the same as the one he did on What’s Up With That on SNL. One of my favorite sketches.
There was an episode (where Roy draws a bath for Keeley) that played complete homage to Sex and the City. From the bath, to the necklace Keely wore, to the Sade song, and to the needing space plot line.
Thanks for your endless love and support. I can't get enough of the love you've been showing me which has been an inspiration to my career. I'm grateful. Where are you watching from?
True story: I was a freshman during Sudeikis' senior year at Shawnee Mission West (1993-94). Because freshmen and seniors don't really interact with one another, I never actually met the guy. I do, however, know the basketball coach the character is based on, as he was also my geometry teacher that same year.
3:27 You made the common mistake of assuming that Kansas City is "in Kansas", but there is a Kansas City in both Kansas and in Missouri. And of the four barbecue restaurants mentioned, three of them originated on the Missouri side. Also, here's more Higgins trivia for you. Higgins is played by Jeremy Swift, and Higgins' wife is played by Swift's real-life wife, Mary Roscoe. Lastly, Swift really does play the upright bass, and that's really him playing on "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)".
To hope onto this for those who don't know....Kansas the city is several years older than Kansas the state. That's why the majority of it is in Missouri. It was just called Kansas before.
@@SamC_ Tired of people being ignorant about geography, especially when it comes to flyover country. Kansas City, Missouri is the big city. The Kansas City in Kansas is about 1/4 its size. Almost all the famous barbecue restaurants and all the KC landmarks are in Missouri.
Brendan Hunt is an Illinois State U alum who studied theatre there. My brother was going to school with him at the time. The entire Man City lineup are all theatre people from those ISU days.
you also missed a hamilton reference. in the episode where beard tries to convince lasso to bench roy, they sit at the bar and lasso asks, "can i get real a second? for just a milisecond? lay down my guard and tell the people how i feel a second?" which is a reference to the lyrics washington sings in "right hand man"
One more thing……when Coach Beard is leaving for his night on the town, Ted tells him “ Bird by Bird, Coach, Bird by Bird.” It is a reference to the book Bird by Bird, written by Anne Lamont. When she and her brother were kids, her brother has a school assignment to write a paper on different kinds of birds. Having waited until the last minute to do his assignment, he was sitting at the kitchen table with books about different kinds of birds and was very anxious. Their father walked by the table and said, “Bird by Bird, son, Bird by Bird.”
Thanks for your endless love and support. I can't get enough of the love you've been showing me which has been an inspiration to my career. I'm grateful. Where are you watching from?
I just love the character Ted Lasso, and his team. Made me interested in English football again. Cannot wait for season. 3. Incidental!y I was introduced to the series when I was on holiday in Bali visiting my son. He is a fan and I was quick!y hooked. Marvellous.
I'm glad I waited to the end to hear the tidbit about AFC Wimbledon. If you love soccer/football you should know what an incredible journey that team has had in the last several years due largely in part to the support they've received from the great author and prolific commentator of TH-cam content, John Green.
Ah you missed one! In Rainbow, Ted says “yessir Steve Kerr!” Steve Kerr is the coach of the NBA team Golden State Warriors. Later on in Rainbow, there’s mention of “The Irish Ronaldo” 17 year old Matthew Kerr. Matthew is Steve Kerr’s son! AND he’s a writing assistant for the show!!! Pretty damn dope if you ask me.
I am happy to know that are more ppl that think Jamie Tart is J. Grealish. Nick's wonder kid, park the bus tactics and the grey hair all Jose Mourinho stuff. And now Zava is literally Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Best TV show ever.
Ah I forgot one thing: Antony Head’s character is called Rupert, which is maybe a reference to the tv show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, in which Head played the role of Buffy’s mentor, Rupert Giles.
Love love love Ted Lasso, the series. He also referenced Dr. Brian Weiss famous book Many Lives, Many Masters. This book changed my life. Thank you Ted Lasso for being here ✨💓✨
I really love this show. I was feeling a lot of familiarity in places so this makes sense. The first episodes made me think of Major League with the female boss trying to sabotage the team. Glad this went in a positive direction and did not follow that plot line as this show has made such hopeful twists. I like that they use these references to create a feeling of familiarity rather than just plain copying others .
One that I found: when Higgins spouts he knows all the birthdays and says March 10th is Sharron Stone’s, Chuck Norris’, & Osama Bin Landin’s birthday, not only is that correct, but it is also the birthday of one Olivia Wilde. Take that for what you will.
When Roy Kent sticks his head up out of the ice water, that's because Bret Goldstein is a Muppets fan, and even did a standup show where he portrays the Muppets. Later he got to appear on Sesame Street rising out of a trash can next to Oscar the Grouch mirroring his action.
I am not sure it's an easter egg, but with all the others in the show, I would find it surprising this tid-bit was just coincidence. It's in the "Goodbye Earl" episodes post game press conference. Ted tells the story of him taking care and adopting the dog that bit him as a kid, sadly only to have him put down a year later. The dog he adopted was named Hank, short for Henry, Ted's boy's name.
You should also know that Mike Dean is actually a real life ref and that he's actually well known as an awful ref...so when he gets called something awful, he says he's used to it.
Not sure if anyone picked it up, or if I’m even on base, but Ted’s rant in the hospital while picking up Dr. Fieldstone about UK health care is very reminiscent of Rob Delaney’s standup material, tone and general nature. Probably a also a dig at our health care system. I only had the lightbulb after watching some Rob Delaney standup.
I have a deep cut real life KC metro area reference that wasn't in the video and that no one mentions in the comments (unless I missed it). Ted talks about his best friend at "Brookridge Elementary." That's a real elementary school in Overland Park, KS, where Sudeikis really went to school, so I assume that the best friend's name is probably real, too, since the teachers' names are in the show. The show makes me weirdly homesick for the KC area, even though it's set in London. Still waiting for a Worlds of Fun reference. That would be sweet.
There is also a Caddyshack scene - while Ted is walking with Rojas for a practice corner kick Ted is mimicking Ty Webb talking to Danny Noonan. When Rojas is lining up for the kick Ted says to him: be the ball, Dani. Dani then kicked the ball right into the metaphorical lumbar yard - Teds backside.
Those BBQ places are in Kansas City, Missouri, but narrator is correct; Jason grew up in KS... in a suburb across the state line. In case you're here and looking for burnt ends....
I do wonder what it would be like watching this as an American having not grown up with this sport ingrained in our culture. As I feel it is these references and almost parodies which really make the program/show. Straight away afrer just a few scenes of Roy Kent I remember saying to my friend: "Oh! It is Roy Keane!!" Who is still always on our screens as a football pundit... not quite the same in that way then though. I always thought AFC Richmond was clever with its South London references: Richmond is an area of South London without a football team, the kit and stadium is clearly neighbouring Crystal Palace and the "AFC" bit has been taken from neighbouring AFC Wimbledon. Oh and I love the 'Soccer Saturday' bits. As soon as I saw Jeff, I remember saying: "Oh Jeff! Where's Kammy?... oh there he is" although Kammy (full name Chris Kamara) is never in the studio though. Love Kammy!
I would say that Richmond is more west or southwest london certainly not south london, but it certainly uses crystal palace stadium for a lot of the shots cheers
It’s still great from an American perspective. I come from a place where our professional team (American rules football) has sold out every home game since the 50’s. My children played soccer and we watch the Premier League and fascinated by how tight the community seems to be around the UK.
This show is like the feeling you get when you lay down in the couch in front of the fireplace when it’s storming outside, outside problems stay outside while I’m watching this
I always thought Richmond was more aligned with Queens Park Rangers, eg QPR's clashes with Man City for relegation, Harry Redknapp, a genuine West London side, needing Crystal Palace to lose or win by 6 goals which happened in one of QPR's seasons, the constant battles with Brentford etc etc
I'm impressed by the scene that Sam didn't take the American soldier figure and then both Ted and Sam said imperialism. Didn't expect a US show addressing this. Respect to the writers!
The best shows always will and Ted is another level. Didn’t have to take a position. Two different truths both valid from each man’s point of view. Yes could respect and acknowledge Sam without slamming the US.
Regarding the references to musical theatre, although Waddingham is indeed a West End favorite, I heard that all - or most - of the writers are musical theatre fans and that this is the reason for the references.
Late to the party, only just started watching the show. Good collection of easter eggs both in the video as well as the comments. I didn't see this reference mentioned: When the club arrives at Wembley and Ted tries to reassure the team it's the same size as the pitch back home (incorrectly, he learns) and then Jamie yells "Richmond", it's an homage to the scene in "Hoosiers" where Gene Hackman's basketball team from the small town of Hickory arrives at a huge fieldhouse for the state championship... and before leaving the court, one of the players yells "Hickory!"
There was a lot more references to RomComs...Roy Kent running to get back to the stadium is the end of When Harry Met Sally, The 'as you wish' of course from The Princess Bride, etc. The thing I noticed was when Roy's niece was describing him, one of the things she mentioned was that he has a scratchy beard. When she says it it touches his beard...like he never realized it before. And later he grows his beard out...seemingly in response to his niece's mentioning it, which was very considerate of him (and a nice window into the kind of person the character is under his rough exterior.
Great video. One point though, Jason & Marcus met on SNL and then Jason was invited to be in the video. And as an update in season 2 the biscuits got better.
I found another "real life inspiration"...one of the team mates for Richmond has the last name Cockburn which is Olivia Wilde's real last name. No wonder she changed it. 🤣
I really enjoyed this. A few things I didn't know for sure. But I presumed the door/head injury thing was not intentional as it looked far too painful to be set up.
I thought the Jamie Tartt song was because of the double T at the end of his name. When you see his Jersey, its TARTT. Hence the song.... 🎵🎶 Jamie Tart ti ti ti ti ti ti ti.... Am I wrong?? 🤔
I’d like to mention that the toy bird that Lasso plays with in the doctor’s studio is the same as in the show Mad Men, in which it appears after one of the characters has to see a psychiatrist (moreover, in the épisode Lasso sits on the sofa and asks the doctor: “Who am I?”, to which he Adde “Donald Draper”, i.e. the name of the protagonist of Mad Men). I also have a question: is it possible that the name Jaimie Tartt is a reference to the characters of Game of Thrones Jaimie Lannister and Brianne of Tartt, who have a romantic relationship during the show?

What's your favorite moment from this show so far?
1st
Ending of first season with him spitting at Rebecca, had me in stitches
Don’t you dare settle for fine!!!
Definitely when Phoebe had bad breath and was breathing in Roy and Keeleys face.
It is day 49 of asking screen rant for an 8 mile pitch meeting. Eminem is releasing his new album soon so soon would be a perfect time
This show’s like a warm cookie before bed, I ain’t every gonna say no to it
Good to see Ted’s southern lingo is rubbing off on everyone 😂
I can’t help but read this in his voice.
This sounds like something Ted would say.
@@tombuck I came here to say just that!
You know what you do with tough cookies?

Isn't it ironic that a show by Apple is accusing another big company like Dubai Air of wrongdoing.

This show is like a giant hug when you're laughing and crying at the same time, but mostly laughing.
YOU FORGOT THAT HIGGIN'S SHOW WIFE IS HIS REAL WIFE!!!
I didn't know!
I love that!!!!
Aww how cute thats what sup! Go Higgins!
That makes sense, they had insane chemistry with very few lines.
Oh god my heart.

Also notes that in season 2 Nate’s hair gets more gray in each episode. And in the finale final season his hair is basically white.
That he is becoming Rupert?

I didn't see this reference mentioned: When the club arrives at Wembley and Ted tries to reassure the team it's the same size as the pitch back home (incorrectly, he learns) and then Jamie yells "Richmond", it's an homage to the scene in "Hoosiers" where Gene Hackman's basketball team from the small town of Hickory arrives at a huge fieldhouse for the state championship... and before leaving the court, one of the players yells "Hickory!"
There was a lot more references to RomComs...Roy Kent running to get back to the stadium is the end of When Harry Met Sally, The 'as you wish' of course from The Princess Bride, etc.
The thing I noticed was when Roy's niece was describing him, one of the things she mentioned was that he has a scratchy beard. When she says it it touches his beard...like he never realized it before. And later he grows his beard out...seemingly in response to his niece's mentioning it, which was very considerate of him (and a nice window into the kind of person the character is under his rough exterior.
This may be one of the best sports TV series ever!
Totally agree with some Grealish in Tartt’s character hahaha
Whenever the Diamond Dogs gather I always think of Moulin Rouge! Ted seems to often reference musicals…
…
You forgot the mythical quote by Dafoe in Spiderman 2 which is quoted by Roy: "AVENGE MEEEEE!"
They did mention in season 1 they brought up Tony Pulis and a couple other managers when Higgins was thinking of replacing Lasso
There is a reference to Cruyff from Ajax/Barca when Jamie talks to Roy about giving teammates necessary space.
Great video. One point though, Jason & Marcus met on SNL and then Jason was invited to be in the video. And as an update in season 2 the biscuits got better.
What about the scene in Wembly stadium where Ted tries to use Gene Hackman’s speech from Hoosiers?
Nicely done.
I found another "real life inspiration"...one of the team mates for Richmond has the last name Cockburn which is Olivia Wilde's real last name. No wonder she changed it. 🤣
I really enjoyed this. A few things I didn't know for sure. But I presumed the door/head injury thing was not intentional as it looked far too painful to be set up.
Also the Jamie tart song is just baby shark
Ja-mie Tart doo doo, doo doo, doo doo 🎶
I thought the Jamie Tartt song was because of the double T at the end of his name. When you see his Jersey, its TARTT. Hence the song....
🎵🎶 Jamie Tart ti ti ti ti ti ti ti....
Am I wrong?? 🤔
On one episode, on the whiteboard that has W’s, L’s, D’s, P’s, there is “nuts” under D’s haha
In the Christmas episode “Bernerd” the name of the kid that hurts Phoebe’s feelings is the name of Emma Thompson’s “horrible son” in Love Actually.
We make Ted's shortbread biscuits all the time...easy and delicious
I’d like to mention that the toy bird that Lasso plays with in the doctor’s studio is the same as in the show Mad Men, in which it appears after one of the characters has to see a psychiatrist (moreover, in the épisode Lasso sits on the sofa and asks the doctor: “Who am I?”, to which he Adde “Donald Draper”, i.e. the name of the protagonist of Mad Men). I also have a question: is it possible that the name Jaimie Tartt is a reference to the characters of Game of Thrones Jaimie Lannister and Brianne of Tartt, who have a romantic relationship during the show?
Nah. It's Brienne of Tarth, not Tartt.
and why exactly would a relationship between n'golo kante and roman abramovich be an unsettling thought for you?
Came here to ask this too…
@@gingerican_8312 Ha! I came here to see if anyone would ask. I knew somebody would.
The age difference is too much for me tbh. 20s and 40s are not the same as 40s and 60s for example...
@@spj4you why not? bit ageist isn't it? consenting adults, the rest is not relevant whatsoever. not the age difference, not their social standing, not their ethnic background and not their gender or sex. None of that is of any relevance. And neither are personal opinions.
I was here to ask the same!
I am surprised you missed the nod to the movie Hoosiers when AFC Richmond goes to play at Wembley Stadium.
There are also a few Fight Club references throughout the show
Coach what’s rule 1 of fight club?
No fight club!
Ted Hove? Mumford does the music with Tom Howe. Who charmingly also does the music for The Great British Bake-off!
the is best show ever!!!
Fun video! I love Ted Lasso ❤
That practice quote was fire
There was also a reference to the Hangover in the last episode
Exactamondo Dikembe Mutombo!!!
