I was in leadership positions for 25 years....the best advice I ever received was "give everyone else the credit,. The return on this mindset was immeasurable...
Except Ted wasn't healed: he went back to a bad situation. Which makes the ending bittersweet (everyone else is better off because of Ted, except for Ted.)
@@Rensune I see it more as him finally putting himself in the position to better his life and move forward instead of always focusing on helping others.
Saddest bit from this for me is when Roy sits in the manager's office with an empty table in front of him. That's when you realise Ted has truly left to go back home
i think they left it open a bit with him returning at some point, with the womans team proposal... who knows? perhaps Ted's son gets good enough to join the Youth Academy, and he follows him over..... who better to run the Youth Academy than Ted...
I just feel like because beards staying, they shouldnt really need anyone else. That scene with coach, beard, and nate was amazing because it showed that even though Ted is gone, they will carry his philosophy with them and keep it with Richmond. Beautiful scene and amazing show
Rebecca’s ending is the most satisfying. She was cheated by his own husband, spent most of the time feeling remorseful, wishful about having her own family (with kids) before getting the devastating news that she could not get pregnant, found peace in forgiving Rupert, and found the man who appreciates her who happens to be a single father.
First word of Rebecca in the very first episode was her husband’s name. Last word of Rebecca in the finale was her name. When she wanted revenge at first, Ted helped her grow to live for herself.
What I love about the show and once someone told me about it, I cannot unsee it. Ted Lasso is a Modern Day Wizard of Oz. Over the course of the series: - Ted gets Jamie to think strategically about the team - He gives Jamie Brains - Ted gets Roy to come out of his shell and get in touch with his feelings - He gives Roy a Heart. - Ted gives Nate self-confidence to stand up for himself - He gives Nate Courage. And when Richmond beats West Ham in the Final Match, did you notice that Ted was wearing Ruby Red Tennis Shoes and his dance moves were similar to clicking one's heels together like there is no place like home?
And just as you are watching all the people from Richmond happy and wondering if Ted did the right thing, Henry comes running out to confirm yes he did.
I love the detail at 2:45 where Roy picks up the army man and his hand is shaking. He’s always been frightened of sharing his emotions, great directing.
If I had a nickel for every time Cat Stevens’s “Father and Son” played over an ending to a story about fathers and sons and left me a blubbering mess… I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.
@@Xavier-dx1dy how ted's dreaming bro, He'd never met this couple 3:57 how tf he supposed to know about them? I mean even if Beard talk with ted about them the never seen their faces lol
I hope this is the end of Ted, this is one of the greatest shows I've ever watched. If I had one group of people to thank it would be the writers. Three seasons of solid writing, hidden callbacks to previous episodes, multiple characters developed, amd a lot of laughing and crying. Perfect ending. Dani's my favorite.
You can’t help but wonder, at first, how Ted walked away from all of it. The great job (and even better pay that Rebecca offered), the family he has built at Richmond, and the friggin’ premier league. Then you see that hug he gives his son when he gets back to Kansas. It makes it all so clear. I had to watch my son grow up from a distance somewhat, only having him under my roof every other weekend, some holidays and some in the summer. That hug scene was powerful to me personally.
Reminds me of an interview I read from Andrew Lincoln about why he decided to leave The Walking Dead. He talked about how often and how long he would be away from his family to film the show overseas and at a certain point he said there was only so much of his kids lives he could miss while still feeling like a good father.
@@alons8isbackI agree! All the characters on the soccer team are awesome & hilarious. Most of them didn’t get much screen time & development. The casting is very well-done too.
The part where Mae straightens the photo of Geronimo at The Crown & Anchor was a nod to Jason's uncle George Wendt {Norm Peterson} on "Cheers". In the last scene, Sam also straightens a photo of Geronimo. I knew that he was his uncle, but I didn't catch it until I re watched the episode. A little Easter egg that some of you guys who may have missed it.
I never watched it, mainly because in Germany Cheers wasn't that popular like others sitcoms. But I know how important this show was for their viewers and future producers and writers. Thanks for explaining it.
The reason Sam straightens out the picture in Cheers, as it was a nod to the character Coach (Nicholas Colasanto) who passed after three seasons. The picture was in his dressing room, and after he passed, they put it on the set. Great homage for two great bar sets/shows.
Reason number 800 why you need to watch every episode a dozen times - at 2:27 the cover of the book, under Trent's name it says "with a very brief foreword from Roy Kent".
This show really helped me be a better person. I try to be more like Ted, and treat people the way he did unconditionally. I loved how even to the people we know he didnt like, he was polite and friendly.
Ok but that last scene with Beard and Jane has to be a dream because it comes right after Tee wakes up and I’m pretty sure Ted would fly back for the wedding of one of his best friends
Seldom, does a show do such a fine job of sending all of it’s family members off to the happy future they deserve. Especially in such a reassuring way. Thanks to you all for the many smiles, and a few tears over the last 3 years.
I love the names of the three fans: Basil Primrose - a flower; Jeremy Blumenthal - meaning valley of flowers in German; Paul LaFleur - meaning "Flower" in French. And then comes Mae GREEN. Funny Detail!
I love how the shares of Richmond AFC is distributed and how surprising affordable it is even though it takes Basil, Jeremy and Paul to purchase one share.
I love that the scenes didn't need text to say what was going on, and just let you watch and piece it all together. I feel like that kind of storytelling evokes much more emotion, especially knowing the characters so well & just let you enjoy it with them.
Ted and me The short version is that I’m a 64 year old man. I’m grateful to Jason Sudaikis for having created Ted Lasso. This strange “comedy” that made me cry way more than it made me laugh. But that always made me happy. And now for the long version. When I first heard of Ted Lasso I made a snap judgement that a show with such a asinine premise would not be worth my time, I believe I was in good company. But towards the end of the first run, I stumbled upon more than a few intriguing reviews and decided to be curious. Well, I was reeled in, hook, line and sinker. From what I’ve read, mine is a rather common story. I’ve watched a fair share of TV drama and comedy over the years and I’ve enjoyed most of it as well crafted entertainment but with an appropriate detachment, it’s just fiction after all. It’s a truly rare event when I have concerns about the fate of fictitious characters to the extent of feeling trepidation before each new installment. And that’s nothing compared to the elation I experience when good things happen to them and the sadness when they’re down. But I’m comforted in knowing I’m not alone in being sad. I’ve loved every episode and had my share of goose bumps, lump in the throat and many tears. A certain amount of suspension of disbelief was required but that’s ok. Some might say that Ted Lasso fell on the fertile ground of our pandemic trauma. But Covid-19 was just one loud noise within the unsettling cacophony of modern life. The so called Global Village is confronting us to a world that is changing fast and wide towards an uncertain destination. This uncertainty frightens us and leads us towards ways of coping that aren’t always wise. We seek easy solutions to difficult problems and, since the dawn of time, the most obvious has been to seek confort in numbers. Until recently, who we congregated with was determined by proximity and allowed for a certain level of diversity. From this diversity we could expect ideologies and behaviors that are reasonable and moderated by the need to get along. For the first time in history, humans are no longer constrained by geography in defining their “community”. The World Wide Web and the social networks are game changers. Many of us have now found refuge in citadel like bubbles where homogeneity reigns supreme. Everyone believes the same things and have the same fears. Debate is proscribed and indoctrination as replaced inquisitiveness. Knowledge is excess baggage and emotions rule the day. Those bubbles often end up being steered by a few charismatic individuals who at best seek self importance but at worst seek power. The most savvy among them even manage to monetize our fears and offer a store full of opinions and bullet points that we can weaponize in our dealings with the uninitiated. In its simplest form our position regarding any crisis is that we are blameless, strangers are responsible, anyone saying otherwise is lying and, better yet, there is no crisis. Outsiders are a threat and are to be dealt with accordingly. It’s Do Onto Others Before They Do Onto You. The road toward hatred becomes very short indeed. But hatred is always foolish and all this foolishness makes those bubbles utterly sterile. They drag all of us down. In this environment where nastiness has been elevated to virtue Ted Lasso is an ode to decency as strength not as weakness. And I’m grateful for it’s existence. Beyond that, I try to understand further why Ted Lasso has had such a unusual impact on myself as well as on many others. I’m old enough to have watched M.A.S.H. during it’s original run and I can’t help feeling a similar vibe. There is no commonality between the bleakness of the Korean War and the bling of the Premier League but it’s worth noting that the kids that we groome into becoming the star athletes that will entertain us can just as easily be repurposed into the soldiers that will protect us. Those two shows thrive at finding humor anywhere and at any time whether it’s a surgeon slipping on a pool of urine or a keeper getting hit on the schnoz. Hawkeye and Ted are masters at making light of any situation, when needed. Neither show is pure comedy, they both took on serious issues. With time, both allowed us to go beyound the first impression and deepen our understanding of the many characters. Both demonstrate that life is tough but that humor is one of the cracks that lets the light in. (Shout out Leonard Cohen!) While Seinfeld was the show about nothing, Ted Lasso is the show about everything. More to the point, it’s about life. AFC Richmond, the stadiums, the games are just background, the canvas on which the lives of the characters unfold. The plot is secondary, the team wll be fine. It’s about the multiple stories that crisscross one another and that we observe and get captivated and enthralled by. Lives very much like ours. Of course most of us don’t have the material comfort of those individuals but, except for Rebecca, their position is precarious. So they, as we, must navigate life without a clear roadmap. In the second season’s last episode Ted said it so well, life is about making choices. We do our best, we try, we stumble, we make mistakes, we ask questions, we learn, we take the good, we accept the bad, we correct, we fix, we make amends, we keep going and, hopefully, we become the better versions of ourselves. Onward, Forward. Ted Lasso makes the case that, even though we should always try to be nice, we should never fail to be kind. Being nice is easy, it’s just saying hello with a smile but it’s also basically empty. As a Canadian, I should know. Being kind is putting in the effort, it shows that you care. It comes at a cost that is worth paying because it’s another crack that lets in the light. Roy is not a nice man but he’s a very kind one This show is not plot driven but it is message driven. It seeks to show the way but is not about the destination it’s about the journey. Each generation as an impact on the next and it’s a responsability to be taken with earnestness. Dereliction of duty can have long lasting effect. But there’s, most of all, a message of hope. Wounds can be healed, what is stuck can be freed,the lost can find the right path, with a little help from our friends. It’s about how loving, caring, trusting can clear the path forward. It’s about honesty with others but mostly with ourselves. It’s about the courage to show ourselves, warts and all, without a mask of fierceness, of meekness or of cheeriness. It’s about the value of friendship and the strenght of solidarity. It’s about not demanding respect but giving it for we are all worthy of it. It’s about acceptance and forgiveness. It’s about treating others in the way we would want to be treated ourselves. It’s about the family we’re born with and the family we make along the way. The biggest crack of all is love, in all its many splendors. It allways finds a way to get through and is the source of all wisdom. Nothing is more fertile or uplifting. The unrelenting optimism, at once Ted’s stenght and weekness, is the reason the show is comedy and not drama. Ultimately, everything is funny and for the same reason that there are few fates worst than being sad and alone the best laughs are the ones shared with the most. I’m gratefull for the journey. To the creators of the show and to the extremely talented cast and crew I can only say, job well done and thank you. Everything above was written before the final episode but now that I’ve watched it, it hasn’t changed in any way how I felt. The conclusion was as perfect as it could be. The characters all got what they deserved and it made me happy. No point in nitpicking, the creators deserve our respect for the narrative choices they made. We may wish for the story to go on, on the screen rather than in our minds. It may happen, there are strong incentives coming from many directions. The behind closed doors process is likely to be akin to sausage making and I have little desire to dwell on it. Que sera sera. Storyline décisions would have to be made. I don’t see Ted returning to the UK. Therefore it’s a choice between a new adventure for Ted or sticking with the Richmond gang. Either could end up being very good or could fail miserably and cloud our memories of the original. Beware what you wish for. Personally, I’m good with letting them live out their existence beyond our gaze. In my imagination, Phoebe becomes the very foul mouthed captain of England’s Team and Ted brings back glory to a struggling hockey team in Montréal. This show was probably conceived just to entertain but, for many of us, it managed to accomplish way more. Some have testified that it allowed them to carry on through dark periods of their lives. Many more have found an inspiration in going forward. Most just had a good time and that, in of itself, made it fit for purpose. For a brief moment, I felt a void after the final credits. It didn’t last, life goes on and we’ll muddle through as always. Ted was the avatar for a group of creators and writers who distilled their life experiences, their successes and their failures into a message that went deeper and further than their original aim. The Lasso Way isn’t complicated. It’s not about telling, it’s about asking Because, If you’re kind you care If you care you’re curious If you’re curious you ask questions The answers to those questions might enlighten the person who’s asked more than the person who’s asking. The good old Socratic Method. It’s also about feeling no shame in asking for help. You all take care now and be kind RT - [ ]
I also feel that the message "It wasn´t about , it never was" refers to the whole show. I mean, it´s called "Ted Lasso", but it is about how he helped make everybody´s life better - like some sort of catalyst - , while his was basically the same as it was before (apart from the experience of coaching football in a foreign country a meeting "cool persons"). His personal situation is not much improved.
I said out loud at Rebecca's ending "sweet, she got a pilot." and the barbecue Jamie and Roy are sitting like long held child-hood friends, they are leaning in to their conversation and are focused on each other...
As others have mentioned, Mae adjusting the photograph of Geronimo is an Easter Egg and nod to the Cheers finale which featured Sudekis' uncle George Wendt (as Norm). Rewatch the final two minutes of Cheers to see the reference. More importantly though, in the final scene Norm is telling Sam that he knew Sam would return to the bar because you always return to your one true love; for Sam that was the bar. Watching the Ted Lasso with this conversation in mind, Ted Lasso too returned to his one true love; his family.
Beautiful ending. Couldn't have found a better fitting song (can't believe it's the first time I've heard this Cat Stevens masterpiece in my 27 years of life). no show has ever hit my emotions the way this one did. I think I cried the last 4 episodes, which is SO rare for me.
TED LASSO, one of the most beautiful, intelligent, sweet, meaningful show I ever watched in my entire life, it deserve an uncountable numbers of Stars 🌟 it will make history, this show right from the beginning has delivered powerful messages, so inspiring, each single one of the characters were so unique, so much to learn it from, I had good time watching it, I laughed, I cried all at once, no wonder Ted Lasso got so many nominations and awards, huge congrats for everyone evolved on this amazing project, it came in a perfect time when we most needed to hard to say goodbye but it was a a beautiful ending❤ ❤️ ❤
I love this montage because it shows not just Ted left but what has continued. Prime example. The BBQ part. Mystery Amsterdam guys daughter runs up to Phoebe and it's clearly not the first time they have met.
MASH: eleven seasons; 251 episodes Newhart: eight seasons; 184 episodes Cheers: eleven seasons; 273 episodes Ted Lasso: three seasons; 34 episodes I love Ted Lasso, but it's also significantly easier to put together 34 episodes of great television when you know that every episode has to mean something and move the story along.
Just finished watching and the ending along with most of the show was just fucking perfect. It's honestly one of those you wish you could just experience for the first time on loop. Such an amazing show it really was.
I feel like this show is just as relevant and important now as it was in 2020, if not more so. What would the world be like with more leaders like Ted Lasso; curious, compassionate and willing to forgive? Nobody is perfect, but deep down we have more common ground than differences...Congratulations to everyone involved, and thank you for this gift.
I dont like that, just because im expecting new team ups and downs, and not win everything first season, while Richmond was mediocre team when Ted came.
Just a great way to close out the series. Rebecca stumbling into the gentleman whose boat she crashed in that night was just right and it looks like he may be "the one". Good on her.
i also appreciate that he has a daughter, because Rupert never let her become a mother and then knocked up Bex after their divorce. i definitely think those two remain together.
This finale was brilliant. Great seeing Sam finally get his call up to the nigeria squad. Shame Ted wasn’t there to see Beard get married. Fantastic seeing Ted coach his son Henry’s football ⚽️ team.
In an AMA Brendan hunt (the actor who plays beard) said that Ted’s & Beard’s relationship is so close that Beard would understand and wouldn’t mind since that’s how their relationship works. Besides it’d kinda ruin the ending Ted goes to the states then straight back to England kind of damages the whole plot of Ted going back.
So much packed into this finale. This series could have been another corny fish of water/Brits and Yanks that don’t understand each other. Instead this ended up being one of the best series I have ever seen. Teds character could have been a typical cliche, but the writing and performance made him an unforgettable character. Awesome all around❤️🔥
The use of this song makes it so sad. Gotta love Cat Stevens music. They used it in Guardians of the Galaxy 2, and it’s just as effective here. Always gets the tears flowing.
Newer CT scanning technology has allowed air travel fluid restrictions to be relaxed. It's prohibitively expensive right now to be implemented in most airports, but has been trialed in a limited capacity at many larger ones, Heathrow included, since 2019. When people started questioning the snowglobe, I remembered having read a piece on the subject and reread it to confirm.
Good to watch the ending again, picking up on bits I missed through the tears the first time. I love the Good Luck, Uncle Roy, and seeing Nate and his father together SMILING at each other. I totally missed and am so happy to have seen Rebecca and her pilot/daughter showing up at Leslie's bbq. It's obvious by the way that Keely greeted Pilot that he and Rebecca have been together for more than just a few weeks.
It’s a bit of a “writers joke” but writers always get the equivalent of what Beard marked up on a novel sent for editorial review. The fact that Trent ignored the “editors” markups and only made the change Ted recommended is something every writer has wanted to do
The greatest ending to a tv show. I’ve never seen anyone actually end amazing tv shows correctly. They gave everyone their own character arc throughout the series and in this final episode, it gave us each of their happy endings. ❤
I have to confess, I don't have Apple TV+ due to finances, so I've been watching YT clips over the years to piece together episodes. I fell off for a while and I just watched this over my lunch break at work, tears streaming down my eyes, doing all I can not to actually break down. What a brilliant show.
Growing up my dad was a pilot and had to be gone for weeks at a time for work and twice had to live out of town away from us so I feel for Henry the joy of seeing your dad drive up after being away and running out to him. I'll never forget being in the1st grade and since we lived a block from the school I was walking home and the crossing guard told me there was a surprise waiting for me at home. I turned the corner on to our street and saw the tail end of my dads truck in the drive way so I ran the rest of the way home and nearly broke the front door to see him sitting on the couch and I jumped into his arms. As a kid i didnt under stand the sacrifices he made for his family but now that I'm grown, I m so proud to be his son
I knew about this show, but hadn't seen it until I visited my sister. She raved about it and almost immediately, I was hooked. I binged the first 2 seasons during my visit. Fast forward a couple of years and I had a free trial of Apple TV. I re-watched the first two seasons before watching the final season. I absolutely loved the way they wrapped things up in the final episode. Then, before the free trial, I watched the entire series again, catching things I missed in the past. It's one of those rare shows that I could watch over and over again and not get tired of.
OK everybody - the couple with the baby are Red and her boyfriend from the “Beard After Hours” episode. Beard is also wearing the pants Red gave him to wear while she was fixing his.
Did anyone else notice Mae straightening the photo of Cochise on the wall of her pub? That's a direct homage to the final scene in Cheers where Sam (Ted Danson) straightens that same picture (as a shout out to original cast member Nic Colosanto who played Coach) before it fades to black. Cheers was referenced on Ted Lasso. Nice touch. Great writing and detail.
People always say: You need to help yourself before you can help others. I say, helping others will help you. And this show is proof why I say what I say.
It would be because most of the conversation would be about Ted leaving and not about the wedding. This is Beard's big day and Ted didn't want to ruin it by being there. As always, Ted is thinking about others. At least, that's how I see it.
I've not found the time to go back and watch the whole series again, but I go back and watch scenes from it all of the time and there is just no way of not falling more and more in love with this show. It had the perfect arc and it was something special and now it's done. I would be disappointed if they ever were to announce another season or a spinoff series.
One misstep here, given Apple's MLS partnership: I'd have finished with Ted becoming the manager of Sporting Kansas City and playing a friendly against Richmond. The ending still works, as Ted's with his family, and it makes total sense that an MLS side in his hometown would want a coach with Premier League experience.

What I love about the show and once someone told me about it, I cannot unsee it. Ted Lasso is a Modern Day Wizard of Oz.
Over the course of the series:
- Ted gets Jamie to think strategically about the team - He gives Jamie Brains
- Ted gets Roy to come out of his shell and get in touch with his feelings - He gives Roy a Heart.
- Ted gives Nate self-confidence to stand up for himself - He gives Nate Courage.
And when Richmond beats West Ham in the Final Match, did you notice that Ted was wearing Ruby Red Tennis Shoes and his dance moves were similar to clicking one's heels together like there is no place like home?
this show was definitely meant to be an allegory of the wizard of oz, it was the pinball game in the pub that gave it away for me
I never thought of that!
There are lots and lots of nods to The Wizard of Oz throughout the show, it’s definitely intentional!
So good
and Ted's from Kansas....
And just as you are watching all the people from Richmond happy and wondering if Ted did the right thing, Henry comes running out to confirm yes he did.
I love the detail at 2:45 where Roy picks up the army man and his hand is shaking.
He’s always been frightened of sharing his emotions, great directing.
The therapist having a soldier is helping in it's own way .
I'd like to think it was Roy thinking about Ted. The look the therapist gives to Roy was like her saying "Yes, I miss him too"
And, of course, her soldier is the radioman, listening.
If I had a nickel for every time Cat Stevens’s “Father and Son” played over an ending to a story about fathers and sons and left me a blubbering mess… I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Yes. They can only risk ruining it now.
Spin offs!!

The army man on Docs table when Roy went to see her was a subtle but incredible touch. Ted will always be with them
I love how she smiles at him
You can’t help but wonder, at first, how Ted walked away from all of it. The great job (and even better pay that Rebecca offered), the family he has built at Richmond, and the friggin’ premier league. Then you see that hug he gives his son when he gets back to Kansas. It makes it all so clear. I had to watch my son grow up from a distance somewhat, only having him under my roof every other weekend, some holidays and some in the summer. That hug scene was powerful to me personally.
Reminds me of an interview I read from Andrew Lincoln about why he decided to leave The Walking Dead. He talked about how often and how long he would be away from his family to film the show overseas and at a certain point he said there was only so much of his kids lives he could miss while still feeling like a good father.
I want a series with the team. Especially super likable but never really explored characters, like Dani or Isaac
Maybe the spinoff shall be called "The Richmond Way"?
@@IanLai Yes, it probably will if it exists. Im just saying who i would like to get focus.
Wouldn't be a bad shout.
At heart, I would love a spin-off to happen. But my head just wants the series to go out on a good note and end as it is.
@@shadowlancerracing I know, it's like i want More but i know it wont be the same past and present
@@alons8isbackI agree! All the characters on the soccer team are awesome & hilarious. Most of them didn’t get much screen time & development. The casting is very well-done too.
I just noticed at KBPR all the tables are pushed together rather than apart like in Ted and beards office when they moved them in episode 1
Honestly this song makes me cry just be existing
"He may have been your father. boy, but he wasn't your daddy."
I cried nonstop during this scene and during guardians of the galaxy
Hahaha don't be so emotional
@@ninyaninjabrifsanovichthes45 contrived ending. That dude never treated Peter like a son. Pulled it out of their ass
name of the song?
The part where Mae straightens the photo of Geronimo at The Crown & Anchor was a nod to Jason's uncle George Wendt {Norm Peterson} on "Cheers". In the last scene, Sam also straightens a photo of Geronimo. I knew that he was his uncle, but I didn't catch it until I re watched the episode. A little Easter egg that some of you guys who may have missed it.
I never watched it, mainly because in Germany Cheers wasn't that popular like others sitcoms. But I know how important this show was for their viewers and future producers and writers. Thanks for explaining it.
The reason Sam straightens out the picture in Cheers, as it was a nod to the character Coach (Nicholas Colasanto) who passed after three seasons. The picture was in his dressing room, and after he passed, they put it on the set. Great homage for two great bar sets/shows.
@@stevecarmichael197 Yup.
I caught that too but didn't understand why they made the reference to Cheers.
Thanks for that. I never know
Reason number 800 why you need to watch every episode a dozen times - at 2:27 the cover of the book, under Trent's name it says "with a very brief foreword from Roy Kent".
VERY brief, like a grunt 😂
"Enjoy the f**king book."
"Don't fucking publish this." Roy Kent
"Oi!" Brief enough?
You need all these pages to describe a season? That's f**king mental.
THE best show I've ever invested in....every episode emotional and meaningful. I wish it didn't end, but I understand why.
This show really helped me be a better person. I try to be more like Ted, and treat people the way he did unconditionally. I loved how even to the people we know he didnt like, he was polite and friendly.
Ok but that last scene with Beard and Jane has to be a dream because it comes right after Tee wakes up and I’m pretty sure Ted would fly back for the wedding of one of his best friends
Aw man, that's a cool theory but don't make it sad
Brendan Hunt (beard) confirmed it’s real in a Reddit ama.
I was a bit on the fence about it but then I realized. It was never about Ted.
True that
Ted never meet the couple of the bearded strong guy and his red hair wife that Beard meet in his night alone
Just finished Ted Lasso yesterday. The music choices were 100% spot on. Always.
Futbol was just the icing on the cake. This show was so much deeper than that. What a great show, bravo to the writers and cast.
“You will have a family. You’re going to be a mother.”
Seeing the couple from "Beard after hours" now with a baby was the straw that broke me
Beard in the pants too!
Oh! That’s who they were!!
I love how Keeley's set up her office desks like how Ted and Beard do in season 1 as a nod to it ❤
Love this show so much I don't want it to end. But couldn't think of a more perfect ending
I was holding it together and doing fine. And then I saw Sam on the Nigeria team and I started crying like a baby.
I blame Cat Stevens.
Good choice.
Yes it kills me too
Lucky you i've started to cry with the first guitar notes of cat steven's song. But also wasn't the first time in the episode 😂
Seldom, does a show do such a fine job of sending all of it’s family members off to the happy future they deserve.
Especially in such a reassuring way.
Thanks to you all for the many smiles, and a few tears over the last 3 years.
This show is the definition of:
Don’t be sad that it’s over. Be glad that it happened.
Honestly any more would probably detract from what it was.
Only just noticed that Rebecca is linking arms with Higgins at Coach's wedding. What a nice touch!
I love the names of the three fans: Basil Primrose - a flower; Jeremy Blumenthal - meaning valley of flowers in German; Paul LaFleur - meaning "Flower" in French. And then comes Mae GREEN. Funny Detail!
I love how the shares of Richmond AFC is distributed and how surprising affordable it is even though it takes Basil, Jeremy and Paul to purchase one share.
Good catch.
I watched the finale on a flight yesterday. It was so hard to not sob like a baby in front of 200 strangers
I have given up on not crying during this series... I mean full on blubbering cry...
I understand that feel. I cried a lot seeing the Parks and Rec finale when I was in a plane
If you would have shared the video with them there would have been 200 new friends shedding tears together.
Jamie reconciling with his father..👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
I love it
Dani asking for two tee shirts foreshadowing the two girlfriends.
Not really foreshadowing, as he had them both in his bed when he had the dog killing nightmare.
Had me dying 🤣
I cried so much during this season. Laughed and cried. It has been amazing
Bloody invisible ninjas and their onions. Honestly, I wasn't crying when I watched this episode.
I love that the scenes didn't need text to say what was going on, and just let you watch and piece it all together. I feel like that kind of storytelling evokes much more emotion, especially knowing the characters so well & just let you enjoy it with them.
The timeless classic did complete justice to this tear-jerking final scene !!
Ted and me
The short version is that I’m a 64 year old man.
I’m grateful to Jason Sudaikis for having created Ted Lasso.
This strange “comedy” that made me cry way more than it made me laugh.
But that always made me happy.
And now for the long version.
When I first heard of Ted Lasso I made a snap judgement that a show with such a asinine premise would not be worth my time, I believe I was in good company.
But towards the end of the first run, I stumbled upon more than a few intriguing reviews and decided to be curious. Well, I was reeled in, hook, line and sinker. From what I’ve read, mine is a rather common story.
I’ve watched a fair share of TV drama and comedy over the years and I’ve enjoyed most of it as well crafted entertainment but with an appropriate detachment, it’s just fiction after all.
It’s a truly rare event when I have concerns about the fate of fictitious characters to the extent of feeling trepidation before each new installment. And that’s nothing compared to the elation I experience when good things happen to them and the sadness when they’re down. But I’m comforted in knowing I’m not alone in being sad.
I’ve loved every episode and had my share of goose bumps, lump in the throat and many tears.
A certain amount of suspension of disbelief was required but that’s ok.
Some might say that Ted Lasso fell on the fertile ground of our pandemic trauma. But Covid-19 was just one loud noise within the unsettling cacophony of modern life. The so called Global Village is confronting us to a world that is changing fast and wide towards an uncertain destination. This uncertainty frightens us and leads us towards ways of coping that aren’t always wise. We seek easy solutions to difficult problems and, since the dawn of time, the most obvious has been to seek confort in numbers. Until recently, who we congregated with was determined by proximity and allowed for a certain level of diversity. From this diversity we could expect ideologies and behaviors that are reasonable and moderated by the need to get along. For the first time in history, humans are no longer constrained by geography in defining their “community”. The World Wide Web and the social networks are game changers. Many of us have now found refuge in citadel like bubbles where homogeneity reigns supreme. Everyone believes the same things and have the same fears. Debate is proscribed and indoctrination as replaced inquisitiveness. Knowledge is excess baggage and emotions rule the day. Those bubbles often end up being steered by a few charismatic individuals who at best seek self importance but at worst seek power. The most savvy among them even manage to monetize our fears and offer a store full of opinions and bullet points that we can weaponize in our dealings with the uninitiated. In its simplest form our position regarding any crisis is that we are blameless, strangers are responsible, anyone saying otherwise is lying and, better yet, there is no crisis. Outsiders are a threat and are to be dealt with accordingly. It’s Do Onto Others Before They Do Onto You. The road toward hatred becomes very short indeed. But hatred is always foolish and all this foolishness makes those bubbles utterly sterile. They drag all of us down.
In this environment where nastiness has been elevated to virtue Ted Lasso is an ode to decency as strength not as weakness. And I’m grateful for it’s existence.
Beyond that, I try to understand further why Ted Lasso has had such a unusual impact on myself as well as on many others.
I’m old enough to have watched M.A.S.H. during it’s original run and I can’t help feeling a similar vibe. There is no commonality between the bleakness of the Korean War and the bling of the Premier League but it’s worth noting that the kids that we groome into becoming the star athletes that will entertain us can just as easily be repurposed into the soldiers that will protect us. Those two shows thrive at finding humor anywhere and at any time whether it’s a surgeon slipping on a pool of urine or a keeper getting hit on the schnoz. Hawkeye and Ted are masters at making light of any situation, when needed. Neither show is pure comedy, they both took on serious issues. With time, both allowed us to go beyound the first impression and deepen our understanding of the many characters. Both demonstrate that life is tough but that humor is one of the cracks that lets the light in. (Shout out Leonard Cohen!)
While Seinfeld was the show about nothing, Ted Lasso is the show about everything. More to the point, it’s about life.
AFC Richmond, the stadiums, the games are just background, the canvas on which the lives of the characters unfold. The plot is secondary, the team wll be fine. It’s about the multiple stories that crisscross one another and that we observe and get captivated and enthralled by. Lives very much like ours. Of course most of us don’t have the material comfort of those individuals but, except for Rebecca, their position is precarious. So they, as we, must navigate life without a clear roadmap. In the second season’s last episode Ted said it so well, life is about making choices. We do our best, we try, we stumble, we make mistakes, we ask questions, we learn, we take the good, we accept the bad, we correct, we fix, we make amends, we keep going and, hopefully, we become the better versions of ourselves. Onward, Forward.
Ted Lasso makes the case that, even though we should always try to be nice, we should never fail to be kind. Being nice is easy, it’s just saying hello with a smile but it’s also basically empty. As a Canadian, I should know. Being kind is putting in the effort, it shows that you care. It comes at a cost that is worth paying because it’s another crack that lets in the light. Roy is not a nice man but he’s a very kind one
This show is not plot driven but it is message driven. It seeks to show the way but is not about the destination it’s about the journey. Each generation as an impact on the next and it’s a responsability to be taken with earnestness. Dereliction of duty can have long lasting effect.
But there’s, most of all, a message of hope. Wounds can be healed, what is stuck can be freed,the lost can find the right path, with a little help from our friends. It’s about how loving, caring, trusting can clear the path forward. It’s about honesty with others but mostly with ourselves. It’s about the courage to show ourselves, warts and all, without a mask of fierceness, of meekness or of cheeriness. It’s about the value of friendship and the strenght of solidarity. It’s about not demanding respect but giving it for we are all worthy of it. It’s about acceptance and forgiveness. It’s about treating others in the way we would want to be treated ourselves. It’s about the family we’re born with and the family we make along the way.
The biggest crack of all is love, in all its many splendors. It allways finds a way to get through and is the source of all wisdom. Nothing is more fertile or uplifting.
The unrelenting optimism, at once Ted’s stenght and weekness, is the reason the show is comedy and not drama. Ultimately, everything is funny and for the same reason that there are few fates worst than being sad and alone the best laughs are the ones shared with the most.
I’m gratefull for the journey.
To the creators of the show and to the extremely talented cast and crew I can only say,
job well done and thank you.
Everything above was written before the final episode but now that I’ve watched it, it hasn’t changed in any way how I felt.
The conclusion was as perfect as it could be. The characters all got what they deserved and it made me happy. No point in nitpicking, the creators deserve our respect for the narrative choices they made.
We may wish for the story to go on, on the screen rather than in our minds. It may happen, there are strong incentives coming from many directions. The behind closed doors process is likely to be akin to sausage making and I have little desire to dwell on it. Que sera sera.
Storyline décisions would have to be made. I don’t see Ted returning to the UK. Therefore it’s a choice between a new adventure for Ted or sticking with the Richmond gang. Either could end up being very good or could fail miserably and cloud our memories of the original. Beware what you wish for. Personally, I’m good with letting them live out their existence beyond our gaze.
In my imagination, Phoebe becomes the very foul mouthed captain of England’s Team and Ted brings back glory to a struggling hockey team in Montréal.
This show was probably conceived just to entertain but, for many of us, it managed to accomplish way more. Some have testified that it allowed them to carry on through dark periods of their lives. Many more have found an inspiration in going forward. Most just had a good time and that, in of itself, made it fit for purpose.
For a brief moment, I felt a void after the final credits. It didn’t last, life goes on and we’ll muddle through as always. Ted was the avatar for a group of creators and writers who distilled their life experiences, their successes and their failures into a message that went deeper and further than their original aim. The Lasso Way isn’t complicated.
It’s not about telling, it’s about asking
Because,
If you’re kind you care
If you care you’re curious
If you’re curious you ask questions
The answers to those questions might enlighten the person who’s asked more than the person who’s asking.
The good old Socratic Method.
It’s also about feeling no shame in asking for help.
You all take care now and be kind

Really appreciated reading this ❤
Needed to hear this. Going through a lot at the moment. Thank you RT.
Honestly the most saddest scene to me was the Trent parts especially the message from Ted at the end
I also feel that the message "It wasn´t about , it never was" refers to the whole show. I mean, it´s called "Ted Lasso", but it is about how he helped make everybody´s life better - like some sort of catalyst - , while his was basically the same as it was before (apart from the experience of coaching football in a foreign country a meeting "cool persons"). His personal situation is not much improved.
I said out loud at Rebecca's ending "sweet, she got a pilot." and the barbecue Jamie and Roy are sitting like long held child-hood friends, they are leaning in to their conversation and are focused on each other...
I love Jamie and Roy’s journey to a solid friendship. ❤
As others have mentioned, Mae adjusting the photograph of Geronimo is an Easter Egg and nod to the Cheers finale which featured Sudekis' uncle George Wendt (as Norm).
Rewatch the final two minutes of Cheers to see the reference. More importantly though, in the final scene Norm is telling Sam that he knew Sam would return to the bar because you always return to your one true love; for Sam that was the bar. Watching the Ted Lasso with this conversation in mind, Ted Lasso too returned to his one true love; his family.
Beautiful ending. Couldn't have found a better fitting song (can't believe it's the first time I've heard this Cat Stevens masterpiece in my 27 years of life). no show has ever hit my emotions the way this one did. I think I cried the last 4 episodes, which is SO rare for me.
Only 27. Young pup yet. You're going to experience a lot more, trust me.
@@TheMalf1978 I appreciate comments like this. Been getting called sir lately and 'old' hahaha so been in my head too much
I'm happy because Ted got what he deserved truly and I'm sad as this series ended. No other series will have the same effect on me like TED LASSO did
TED LASSO, one of the most beautiful, intelligent, sweet, meaningful show I ever watched in my entire life, it deserve an uncountable numbers of Stars 🌟 it will make history, this show right from the beginning has delivered powerful messages, so inspiring, each single one of the characters were so unique, so much to learn it from, I had good time watching it, I laughed, I cried all at once, no wonder Ted Lasso got so many nominations and awards, huge congrats for everyone evolved on this amazing project, it came in a perfect time when we most needed to hard to say goodbye but it was a a beautiful ending❤ ❤️ ❤
I like that Trent Crimm's book includes a "very brief" forward by Roy Kent. I wonder what he said haha.
Read it. Or don't. I don't fucking care.
Fuck me. Whistle. Whistle!
A series of *grunts*
I love this montage because it shows not just Ted left but what has continued.
Prime example. The BBQ part. Mystery Amsterdam guys daughter runs up to Phoebe and it's clearly not the first time they have met.
teared up multiple times through this series but the final episode had me crying like a baby. i love this show so much
It was a good show and this ending was really powerful.
“It’s not about me.
It never was.” That made me tear up ngl
One of the best series finales I’ve seen…ending it with Cat Steven’s perfect…Rebecca’s end, Jamie and his Dad, Ted’s note to Trent!!! Fantastic!
Move over MASH, Newhart, and Cheers. This is the best sitcom ending of all time.
This is a sitcom?
@@DannyCosmos A shitcom
@@DannyCosmos nope. ;)
The Office still holds that claim.
MASH: eleven seasons; 251 episodes
Newhart: eight seasons; 184 episodes
Cheers: eleven seasons; 273 episodes
Ted Lasso: three seasons; 34 episodes
I love Ted Lasso, but it's also significantly easier to put together 34 episodes of great television when you know that every episode has to mean something and move the story along.
I didn’t even think about Roy becoming the manager but that makes so much sense
Just finished watching and the ending along with most of the show was just fucking perfect. It's honestly one of those you wish you could just experience for the first time on loop. Such an amazing show it really was.
I feel like this show is just as relevant and important now as it was in 2020, if not more so. What would the world be like with more leaders like Ted Lasso; curious, compassionate and willing to forgive? Nobody is perfect, but deep down we have more common ground than differences...Congratulations to everyone involved, and thank you for this gift.
I am so glad Rebecca found her pilot!
hes her flying dutchman
What a meaningful series.... Thanks, Ted.
I have watched this clip many times and always am in tears by the end. Always. What an amazing show.
If anything, we could really build a foundation for having a spin-off of the AFc Richmond Women's team
I dont like that, just because im expecting new team ups and downs, and not win everything first season, while Richmond was mediocre team when Ted came.
@@ST-tf4sq Can you expand, on that?
Fuck yeah, I’d totally be into that.
PLEASE!
NO SPIN OFF!
NO SEASON 4!
its sad happy ending, its PERFECT!
The women’s team
@@DannyCosmos Totally agree. The Women's Team!!
Agreed. But an extra season where Richmond play in the UCL would be very interesting
Just a great way to close out the series. Rebecca stumbling into the gentleman whose boat she crashed in that night was just right and it looks like he may be "the one". Good on her.
i also appreciate that he has a daughter, because Rupert never let her become a mother and then knocked up Bex after their divorce. i definitely think those two remain together.
The Psychic's vision came true. Rebecca got her family -- the team family, and a wonderful partner and daughter.
This finale was brilliant. Great seeing Sam finally get his call up to the nigeria squad. Shame Ted wasn’t there to see Beard get married. Fantastic seeing Ted coach his son Henry’s football ⚽️ team.
Dani should have said "Football is Life" at least once this season...
People change
All I can say, is from the first episode to the last, I was captive in the world of Ted Lasso……great series!
The only part the writers messed up was not having Ted at his best friend’s wedding. Ted would have no doubt flew back to England for that
No, the worst part is Beard getting married with Jane.
@@juliesh13 did you not hear what he said on the plane? Sorry you’re lonely…
@@vitamind2387 yeah whatever…
In an AMA Brendan hunt (the actor who plays beard) said that Ted’s & Beard’s relationship is so close that Beard would understand and wouldn’t mind since that’s how their relationship works. Besides it’d kinda ruin the ending Ted goes to the states then straight back to England kind of damages the whole plot of Ted going back.
The Next Morning
Ted woke up with Sassy
One of the best series I have ever seen! Cried my eyes out during the final episode🥲🥲. The acting and writing was truly superb! A+++++++
So much packed into this finale. This series could have been another corny fish of water/Brits and Yanks that don’t understand each other. Instead this ended up being one of the best series I have ever seen. Teds character could have been a typical cliche, but the writing and performance made him an unforgettable character. Awesome all around❤️🔥
Fantastic Series...wish I could watch it afresh all over again!
Ngl the pub trio buying their share together made me cry
What an ending to an amazing series.❤
I loved how the sign I’d taped back together. Such symbolism, showing the beauty if imperfections
The use of this song makes it so sad. Gotta love Cat Stevens music. They used it in Guardians of the Galaxy 2, and it’s just as effective here. Always gets the tears flowing.
Also “Welcome to Wrexham”, which makes me wonder who got it first - Sudeikis or Reynolds???
They NAILED that scene in Guardians.
@@mwalsh5757 Also, crazy fact my name is Michael Welch, commonly mistaken for Walsh or Welsh.
How did Ted get that snow globe through the x-Ray machine it has to me more than 100ml in there, they would have seized it and binned it lol 😂😂😂😂
LITERALLY WHAT I SAID KJSHDS
Newer CT scanning technology has allowed air travel fluid restrictions to be relaxed. It's prohibitively expensive right now to be implemented in most airports, but has been trialed in a limited capacity at many larger ones, Heathrow included, since 2019. When people started questioning the snowglobe, I remembered having read a piece on the subject and reread it to confirm.
Good to watch the ending again, picking up on bits I missed through the tears the first time. I love the Good Luck, Uncle Roy, and seeing Nate and his father together SMILING at each other. I totally missed and am so happy to have seen Rebecca and her pilot/daughter showing up at Leslie's bbq. It's obvious by the way that Keely greeted Pilot that he and Rebecca have been together for more than just a few weeks.
It’s a bit of a “writers joke” but writers always get the equivalent of what Beard marked up on a novel sent for editorial review. The fact that Trent ignored the “editors” markups and only made the change Ted recommended is something every writer has wanted to do
The greatest ending to a tv show. I’ve never seen anyone actually end amazing tv shows correctly. They gave everyone their own character arc throughout the series and in this final episode, it gave us each of their happy endings. ❤
I have to confess, I don't have Apple TV+ due to finances, so I've been watching YT clips over the years to piece together episodes. I fell off for a while and I just watched this over my lunch break at work, tears streaming down my eyes, doing all I can not to actually break down. What a brilliant show.
Idgaf, I loved the ending. And it’s left wide open for more. ❤
Growing up my dad was a pilot and had to be gone for weeks at a time for work and twice had to live out of town away from us so I feel for Henry the joy of seeing your dad drive up after being away and running out to him. I'll never forget being in the1st grade and since we lived a block from the school I was walking home and the crossing guard told me there was a surprise waiting for me at home. I turned the corner on to our street and saw the tail end of my dads truck in the drive way so I ran the rest of the way home and nearly broke the front door to see him sitting on the couch and I jumped into his arms. As a kid i didnt under stand the sacrifices he made for his family but now that I'm grown, I m so proud to be his son
This makes me cry everytime. Such a happy ending for everyone
I knew about this show, but hadn't seen it until I visited my sister. She raved about it and almost immediately, I was hooked. I binged the first 2 seasons during my visit.
Fast forward a couple of years and I had a free trial of Apple TV. I re-watched the first two seasons before watching the final season. I absolutely loved the way they wrapped things up in the final episode.
Then, before the free trial, I watched the entire series again, catching things I missed in the past. It's one of those rare shows that I could watch over and over again and not get tired of.
Dani Rojas with his partners from season 2 makes me so happy ❤️ poly goals!
always like small things humanity in every eps, thats mean a lot for people these days.. keep it spread
Emotional is one way to describe it!!
Don't mind me just 😭😭😭 through the whole thing
OK everybody - the couple with the baby are Red and her boyfriend from the “Beard After Hours” episode. Beard is also wearing the pants Red gave him to wear while she was fixing his.
Thank you!
Thanks for your help my friend
Did anyone else notice Mae straightening the photo of Cochise on the wall of her pub? That's a direct homage to the final scene in Cheers where Sam (Ted Danson) straightens that same picture (as a shout out to original cast member Nic Colosanto who played Coach) before it fades to black. Cheers was referenced on Ted Lasso. Nice touch. Great writing and detail.
People always say: You need to help yourself before you can help others.
I say, helping others will help you. And this show is proof why I say what I say.
I'm sad Ted didn’t go to Beard's wedding
give him a break, he just returned to the States.
Sometimes great friends is not about that
It would be because most of the conversation would be about Ted leaving and not about the wedding. This is Beard's big day and Ted didn't want to ruin it by being there. As always, Ted is thinking about others. At least, that's how I see it.
I would argue that part was Ted dreaming
He would woke with Sassy
Ted reading "how to change your mind: The new science of psychedelics".... I guess Beard put him in touch with his chemist.
I've not found the time to go back and watch the whole series again, but I go back and watch scenes from it all of the time and there is just no way of not falling more and more in love with this show. It had the perfect arc and it was something special and now it's done. I would be disappointed if they ever were to announce another season or a spinoff series.
This show helped me through the hardest years of my life. Many of the characters mirror aspects of the last year of my life.
This show is the standard of greatness!
One misstep here, given Apple's MLS partnership: I'd have finished with Ted becoming the manager of Sporting Kansas City and playing a friendly against Richmond. The ending still works, as Ted's with his family, and it makes total sense that an MLS side in his hometown would want a coach with Premier League experience.
