I love that this episode gives some time to characters that dont have much of a story arc otherwise. It takes Beard's headspace, beating himself up over both the match and his relationship, and puts it into physical form. It shows that down deep, Beard is incredibly kind to those around him (like our 3 favorite barflies), even in the midst of the chaos surrounding him. Oh, and as you're going to see in S3, Beard is a bit crazy in his personal life, at keast the glimpses we are given.
In the very first episode Ted said to Rebecca "I'll have any coffee drink as long as I can't taste a hint of the coffee" so he definitely had the Peppermint Latte.
"Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret" is a book by Judy Blume. I have no faith that his mom is actually named Margaret as much as it's just another Beardism. And my interpretation is that the "if you want to look her up" is treating God like tech support that he has to look her details up in order to fully assess the Beard situation.
I kind of agree this might be my least favorite episode of Ted Lasso, but I still love it. I don't think you caught the reference but when Beard was talking about tomorrow will be the greatest day of her life, it's parodying a scene from the movie Fight Club.
I love when people watch this show and after a huge emotional hit they say "I thought this was a comedy". It is, but its a Bill Lawrence comedy, and if you've ever watched Scrubs then you know his comedies come with gut punches out of nowhere. The man, and the people that he works with, are so good at emotional rollercoasters and lovable side characters. Great reaction!
@@TheLexiCrowd I'd give it a shot, if you like Ted Lasso, you'd like Scrubs. Same humour, same great side characters, loveable main characters. I highly recommend all 8 seasons, because there are only 8 seasons, we don't speak about the 9th season......
@@cirrustate8674 Bill Lawrence wrote the show to end at season 8, tied it up and summed up all the threads, but the season did so good that the parent company asked for another season. With lots of main characters gone they whipped up an "intern" show with new cast and some returning members. It bombed. So most Scrubs fans don't consider season 9 as part of the show.
I always love watching your videos, first needed to say that! You're so lovely with your genuine reactions, I look forward to them every week- seriously. If my memory's correct, I think they only mention the coffee orders once in the series- and my friends and I have actually talked this out because she works at a coffee shop. We have come to the conclusion that the flat white is Roy's, the black coffee is Nate's and of course, peppermint is Ted. And the main reasoning without spoilers, just going down to coffee lingo: the flat white having the espresso base {normally 2 shots} and steamed milk. A little more umph, and the intensity of flavor. Not as much beverage, but it is straight to the point. That is such a Roy thing. Simple, but extra. Short to the point. Something to sip and have that zing. Whereas a black coffee, I wouldn't say basic, but it is a base. You can add whatever you want to it. It's simple. It's the least complicated to grab and go. And for the longest time for Nate {going to S1} wanted to stay out of people's way, make things easier. He was small, wanted no conflict. And since he's trying to be intimidating, well, black coffee. Not many drink their coffee black. And then of course, holly jolly Ted with his peppermint😂 So sorry for literally dissecting a coffee choice, but I thought you'd like to read my silly thought process
omg and I forgot to mention because I was so eager to send! Beard points at the coffee nearest to Roy first when stating the coffee order, which happens to be the flat white :)
That's pretty much my impression. It's not one of the better episodes, but a nice little break episode. We get to see more of the pub boys (Paul, Jeremy, and Baz) and look into London's night scene. Paul (the black guy) is easily my favorite of the pub boys. He asked Beard about his thoughts on the universe. Wonderful sequence. The announcers were all in his head and Beard was under the influence of drugs. Also, the episode implies this is not a one-off type of deal. Beard frequently has these crazy nights. Next episode won an Emmy for Best Directing in a Comedy Series at the Emmys.
While I'm sure some people enjoyed, this is _by far_ my least favorite episode of the show. 4:31 I never knew that! It makes sense, though, since you could skip the episode entirely and not notice anything amiss with the rest of the show. In general I think it's good for shows to do experimental episodes. Sometimes they're amazing. Unfortunately, this one just really did not work for me.
Did you ever think you could just pause a real person? I just paused Lexi because she's heartless. She said it, not me. Lexi is one of my favourites - I don't like thinking of her as heartless. I'm sure she has a heart. Which she keeps on a shelf. In the basement next to the mummy hand.
Am laughing because she got so much criticism and comments for her horrible reaction to the Sam/Rebecca romance, that made her look racist, in this video she recaps everything in that previous episode and doesn’t mention Sam/Rebecca at all, when it was the main plot 😂 😆. She doesn’t want to expose herself again 😂
This is like Buffy's "The Zeppo" episode, but in the Ted Lasso universe.
“shut up Thiery Henry”
Best line
The Blue Moon is a reference to a song that Man City fans sing.
Ohhh i see
Do you happen to know whose version they sing? I know that there’s like 25 covers and I don’t even know who sings the original
I found this one to be one of my absolute FAVORITES of the show. Though, Beard is my favorite character, so that certainly helps.

Such an unusual episode, definitely a fun and disturbing look at England after dark and its welcoming nature, love the reaction

Oh, and this was my favorite episode of the series until 3x11 happened.
I'm sooooo sad you're uploading weekly now! But happy to see you again!!

I liked it yes ☺️ i love dissecting these kinds of stuff
Oh also got distracted by the coffee stuff but it makes me so happy to hear you enjoy my reactions 🥺
IIRC doesn't Ted at one point talk about liking his coffee in ways that make it taste nothing like coffee? So peppermint absolutely goes with him.
