This skit was originally an AD campaign to promote the premier league here in the states back in 2013 on NBC. It was originally meant to be a one off thing but Ted Lasso happened and well, the rest is history haha. It’s still nuts to think such a popular show started out as a comedy sketch lol.
It's a pretty brilliant commercial. I know it was targeted towards Americans but I feel like the jokes relate to the Brits more. "How many countries are in this country!?" 4
If you didn’t already know, he is writer of show, and recorded a few min to only show other writers to see if he could play Roy Kent ? And if they didn’t like it then they would never speak of it again 😂! Now can’t imagine Roy Kent any other way! ( sorry I’m forgetting his real name)
It's not a good show, it's a great show. Funny, but shows what positive energy and outlook can do for a struggling team. One of the biggest hits with multiple Emmys in the US this year. You'll love it!
The second season was a bit disappointing. Filler “holiday” episode and making the one coach a dick near the end. Not following through with the doc and Sudakis’ breakdown was also unfulfilling.
Must be on HBO or Cinemax, I've only recently heard about it a couple of months ago. I guess if you don't pay for a channel like that you really don't get all the advertisement to watch it or even really know how popular it might be
Watch the show. As an American family who likes soccer we can appreciate the references both ways and you genuinely can attached to the movement they generate during the show. Great for those looking leadership inspiration.
yeah I figured all Brits were watching this show, that first season is hilarious, Catastrophe is a good one too, another American in England fish out of water comedy
It started as a skit. Now a regular current show. It is more serious and not as dumbed down. They took the skit and turned it into a series that is current. In fact he just won an Emmy as did a co star.
I had a free year of Apple TV and never watched it. But now I had to get another 4 month trial to binge both seasons of Ted Lasso. It’s such a great show
Def recommend Ted Lasso. Great comedy and a ton of cameos. They even got a partnership for season 3 with the premier league so its gonna look a whole lot more official`
The show, Ted Lasso, is great. I absolutely love it. Roy is the best character. This was an actual ad from a while ago, but Jason Sudeikis turned this character into a show. I think you guys would really like it. There are some fantastic British actors in the show. It’s really well done.
You should watch Terry Tate Office linebacker commercials. It was a series of Reebok commercials about an Officer linebacker that kept productivity high at a company. Super funny.
Ted Lasso was such a great show to come out during the Pandemic. The fact that it's even about sports is completely secondary. It's just a feelgood show that's funny and light and easy to watch that will make you happy. Keeley is my favorite character, along with Roy Kent.
These were a series of commercials on nbc intended to introduce the premier league to american audiences. They were so popular that it eventually became a tv show.
this video was a skit many years ago and apple tv just got around to making it a show recently, its actually a great kind of drama/comedy, its on its 2nd season now.
I love Ted Lasso! One episode and I was hooked. There’s actual character development and depth etc. I hope they come out with season 3 soon! I still can’t believe he had this idea years before the show came out.
Ted Lasso is amazing btw .. I started it 2 days ago and got through 22 ep in that timespan (the whole first 2 seasons). Absolutely got hooked to one of the most wholesome comedies I have ever watched. Great character development and I teared up many times .... SO GOOD
It’s in these comments. But this was a commercial skit years ago to promote Soccer in the states. And it was so beloved they wrote the current show based frm it! Which is in its 2nd season! PS there’s a Part 2 to this you should react to. Also done years ago before the tv show!!
You should watch the second AD they made with him and the premier league too. But the actual show "Ted Lasso," which is recent, is on apple tv and based on this premise but with a very different vibe.
I can’t believe it took me as long as it did to realize that Bill Lawrence was involved in turning these adverts into such an amazing show with real depth . We have seen him weave comedy with real moments in so many other shows like Scrubs, but this is definitely my favorite at the moment.
Can you guys do a reaction video to “The Game” between Ohio St and Michigan this past weekend? Michigan just won this rivalry game for the first time in 10 years and it was a sight to see.
I’m proud to say I shipped Ted Lasso 8 Years ago lol. I love EPL on NBC. Soccer with Breakfast on NBC here in America is so much fun. Crazy this tongue in cheek(y) skit turned into an award winning show years later.
I believe Ted Lasso will go down as the best comedy of all time. If you blokes reacted to each episode it would be a dream come true!! Please please please consider it!!
This is why I'm so confused by the recent Ted Lasso phenomenon considering he's been a character for years. They also did another couple of segments of this a year or two later: th-cam.com/video/iRqypM7jb5Y/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/yh1pApnX8Sc/w-d-xo.html
Ted Lasso is rather good. I mean the entire thing is really, really cheesy and serves as a series of ads for Apple devices, which are carefully placed throughout each episode. London consists of 4 roads (except for a couple of episodes), football scenes are completely ridiculous, first season suffers from poor CGI, and there are many other problems with the show, and yet despite all that I binge watched both 2 seasons in 2 days. It's really fun to watch.
Whereas I found the soccer scenes to be some of the most riveting soccer I’ve ever seen. And no, it’s not the only soccer I’ve ever seen - I’ve watched highlight videos of Ronaldinho on TH-cam!
This just shows how many rules American Football has compared to Football. Still cannot watch soccer or football however you want to call it. It’s about as fun as watching golf
3:40 This is a bit tangential but why doesn’t the EPL another leagues in Europe use a playoff system for their domestic football? Would love to the maybe the top 4-8 teams do a single elimination tourney at the end of the year.
The show is really good, and I tend to hate sports shows/movies because they are so phony, but it's as much about sports as The Office is about selling paper.
The video you're watching is a skit. It is a character Jason created. Ted Lasso, the series, is an expansion of this character and has a supporting cast.
This skit was originally an AD campaign to promote the premier league here in the states back in 2013 on NBC.

A commercial no less
Letterkenny is the same. Started as a TH-cam skit.
Same with workaholics, it started as a TH-cam channel
It's a pretty brilliant commercial. I know it was targeted towards Americans but I feel like the jokes relate to the Brits more. "How many countries are in this country!?"

It's a good show. It's not a one joke comedy. The characters have depth and growth. I watched one show by accident and was hooked.
Actually super impressed with how they developed characters in that show. Absolutely top tier!
Did you mean episode?
@@Nekotaku_TV "I heard it said both ways ... show/episode." - Higgins quote.
What's it called?
Same. It's amazing
Ted Lasso is a really good show. The Roy Kent character is hilarious!!
Definitely a fan favorite!
He's here, he's there, he's ev'ry &%$#ing where...
Oyh

Where have you guys been? The second season just finished. It’s a worldwide hit. It’s been dubbed in most languages in Europe.
Well I haven't heard of it
The second season was a bit disappointing. Filler “holiday” episode and making the one coach a dick near the end. Not following through with the doc and Sudakis’ breakdown was also unfulfilling.

You'll be amazed at how good the show turned out to be.
The show is absolute gold.
Because the commercials were a big hit, they decided to make it a tv series which is pretty good. You should watch the second advert as well
There's more!?
@@willvr4 They made a 2nd ad for NBC a couple years after this in 2015 I think.
I had a free year of Apple TV and never watched it. But now I had to get another 4 month trial to binge both seasons of Ted Lasso. It’s such a great show

That’s a great shout out: Tate’s Office Linebacker was hilarious!!

Meet the Robinsons is a great animated movie. Honestly one of my favorites as a kid.
Such a great, underrated movie!
"he's here, He's there, he's every fucking where, roooyyyy keeeent, rooooooyyyy keeeennnt
There’s another Ted Lasso NBC advert called “The Return of Coach Lasso”. I’d like to see your reaction to it.
I love Ted Lasso! One episode and I was hooked. There’s actual character development and depth etc. I hope they come out with season 3 soon! I still can’t believe he had this idea years before the show came out.
lol watching them find their way to the "we're the millers" title was satisfying
So this is how Ted Lasso started, I think this is literally the inspiration for the show.
Ummm duh?
@@andrew348 Thanks buddy, I'm not too familiar with the show, but appreciate the helpful response.
@@andrew348 he was just clarifying that this isnt the ted lasso show.
We’re the millers. That’s the movie you were thinking of
Ted Lasso is amazing btw .. I started it 2 days ago and got through 22 ep in that timespan (the whole first 2 seasons). Absolutely got hooked to one of the most wholesome comedies I have ever watched. Great character development and I teared up many times .... SO GOOD
ted lasso is definitly worth watching.... really good
It’s in these comments. But this was a commercial skit years ago to promote Soccer in the states. And it was so beloved they wrote the current show based frm it! Which is in its 2nd season!
PS there’s a Part 2 to this you should react to. Also done years ago before the tv show!!
Would love to see a reaction to the full episodes
This and its sequel were promotions for the league and NBC...then it became a full series recently in 2019
first season is fantastic
So was season 2.
You should watch the second AD they made with him and the premier league too. But the actual show "Ted Lasso," which is recent, is on apple tv and based on this premise but with a very different vibe.
Ted Lasso is a fantastic show
Ted Lasso is a beacon of light in this cruel dark world.
I can’t believe it took me as long as it did to realize that Bill Lawrence was involved in turning these adverts into such an amazing show with real depth . We have seen him weave comedy with real moments in so many other shows like Scrubs, but this is definitely my favorite at the moment.
Great show. Highly recommend!!!
A Mexican child cries every time a brit says "tacos".
No one cares about their tears
😆 That's "tackos"
Lasso is a must watch. Very well done show with loads of great character development and writing.
honestly never thought at 28 i’d be too old for “comedy shows” lol 🤷🏻♂️
Happy Thanksgiving everyone
The show is really good. I was surprised about how much it hit me with the story arcs and characters being so well written.
I love this show!
"This is something that Spurs would do..."
I've only been watching the Premier League for three years, but that joke made perfect sense to me.
you should do reaction to the ted lasso show!
The award-winning series was made because of this skit.
Can you guys do a reaction video to “The Game” between Ohio St and Michigan this past weekend? Michigan just won this rivalry game for the first time in 10 years and it was a sight to see.
As a Florida based Arsenal supporter....this is hilarious
Happy thanksgiving boys

You're talking about "We're the Millers". They were also in "Horrible Bosses" together
his uncle is norm from the tv show cheers!
I guarantee it will be your new favorite show.. so well done
It’s way better than you’d think it would be. I thought Ted Lasso would be the dumbest idea, then I watched it and never stopped.
You’ll thank yourself when u watch Ted Lasso. It’s SO GOOD!
Guys you GOTTA watch the actual show Ted Lasso on Apple TV. It is phenomenal. Hilarious. Feel good. Fun. And more hilarious.
Second part is even funnier
Do reaction to episodes of Ted Lasso, please. Season 1 is so good!
So was season 2.
Ted lasso is by far the best show on Apple TV, I can't wait for season 3 to drop!
I believe Ted Lasso will go down as the best comedy of all time.
If you blokes reacted to each episode it would be a dream come true!!
Please please please consider it!!

2:39 "You know what, I don't want to pause it straight away"
*Proceeds to pause it straight away
He did three movies with Jennifer Aniston that I can think of....”We’re the Millers” and “Horrible Bosses 1+2”. All hilarious 😂
Jason was on Saturday Night Live for about 8 years.
"How many countries are in this country?"
"Four"
There are very few things more anathema to the American psyche than a Tie.
This is a skit from when Jason Sudekis was still on Saturday Night Live. The new show is loosely based on this skit
Ted Lasso is good, but.... Remember it is a LIGHT HEARTED DRAMA. It is NOT a comedy series no matter what they say!!!
This.
Yes Ted Lasso is so funny would love to see you guys react to it
I got me a Gaelic football shirt from Dublin back in 2011 or so.
The commercial is great, but the show is better. They made him more Golden Retriever and less incompetent idiot.
Now the best show on streaming. And go Spurs. I'm a legit Tottenham supporter.
- American
Ted Lasso. 😂😂😂. I’ve got to watch that show.
Everyone only gets it on Apple TV, that’s how it became so popular so quickly, Apple pushed it hard.
And it deserves all the Emmy nominations and awards it received.
Love Ted Lasso! Get Apple TV, 3rd season of Ted Lasso starts soon.
Jennifer Aniston in "We're the Millers" like you've never seen her before....well, and "Horrible Bosses".
He's here.. hes there.. he's every fuking where... Roy kent Roy kent
Please react to Scott Sterling best Volley Ball blocks if you haven't seen it!
Ted Lasso is rather good. I mean the entire thing is really, really cheesy and serves as a series of ads for Apple devices, which are carefully placed throughout each episode. London consists of 4 roads (except for a couple of episodes), football scenes are completely ridiculous, first season suffers from poor CGI, and there are many other problems with the show, and yet despite all that I binge watched both 2 seasons in 2 days. It's really fun to watch.

Fun fact: I do believe the Spurs won that season
Won what? Maybe the league cup but nothing to get excited about. 😂
Ted Lasso the show is actually brilliant.
That show is pretty good - Ted Lasso.
Fucking classic
Oh finally!!!!!!🤯🤯🤯🤯
American football can end in ties also.
Can, sure, but very rare.
