Thank you for pointing this out, I’ve always thought this!!!! It’s so uncharacteristic of him, the pretentious journalist, to stutter like that but it’s so realistic and just a really nice touch.
That's the premise of the TH-cam series Hot Ones. Sean Evans is an amazing interviewer but the heat from the wings throws the guest off their usual interview game and Sean is able to have some great, in-depth conversations with them that you wouldn't get from any other interview.
What I love about this show is how they could’ve made Trent (or many other characters) a significant antagonist who has to be “beaten” and then suddenly they’re best buds forever. But instead him and Ted actually just immediately get along despite having early apprehensions, like real human beings.
You can also see Trent beginning to love Ted, but also seems to hate the fact that he loves him. It’s actually the exact same way I felt about Ted when I started watching. It’s the typical mega positive annoying Ned Flanders style character, but he ends up being one of the most loveable people you could ever meet.
Yes!! This show couldve made a villain out of many characters but would be cliche and predictable, instead they suprise us by making trent and ted buddies, jamie matures, ted forgives rebecca, simple stuff becomes "unexpected" because we r used to childish stuff i theses shows. This show makes Drama with REAL stuff, not childish stuff
I think it speaks to the writers of the show for them to make a side character like Trent Kim not only end up having a significant story arc but also being a likable character
I like how real it is. In movies you've always got mustache twirling evil douche characters who treat people terribly for no real reason and they and the world are fine with it..... in the real world if someone is just relentlessly friendly and nice in the face of you treating them poorly, even the meanest of people start to throttle it back pretty quickly, either because they feel like a heel or friends/society is basically like "why are you treat him like shit, he's been nothing but nice to you?"
An underrated part of this is when Ali says "I always invite people that are in my car" with an inquisitive look - like "They never usually come though"
This is my favorite scene in the who show so far. Ted met Ali for maybe 20 minutes and is willing to put himself through extreme discomfort in order not to embarrass him in front of his family. For someone to go that extra mile for essentially a stranger is inspiring and makes me want to treat others better.
True, but that level of altruistic or people-pleasing behavior can also be shaped by trauma. Which, in Ted's case, it certainly is, as subsequent episodes showed
“Well great because you’re darn good at it” “…thank you..” Something about Ted’s genuine yet understated kindness and the way Krimm says thank you that is so good. You can tell he’s never been in this situation before
If you want to make an english person the most uncomfortable they will ever be in your presence? Give them a genuine compliment, none of us know how to deal with them at all :)
I like that Trent Krimm hesitates when Ted asks him what he loves. Like he never asked himself and Ted answers for him like he could see it the whole time.
I would agree that he's second to Higgins only. Trent embodies how you should treat a person with respect, while Higgins embodies kindness and patience. I also think of all the characters on the show, I believe that Higgins had the most character growth.
Higgins was always a great person. Good husband and father of several wonderful kids. He just needed permission not to hide his kindness again, and with Ted and a reformed Rebecca, he could. I suspect he did what he needed to do to survive under Rupert.
this show reminds me a lot of Arrested Development in that you understand a lot of the dialogue from the earlier season(s) after you’ve watched the later season(s)
@@trple2 One of the interesting things about this show is that it is unapologetically wholesome, the comedy and the comfort go hand in hand for people who love the idea that a person could see the world the way Ted sees it, it’s inspiring. When a person types a try-hard cynical comment like yours about a show that is only trying to be wholesome and make people feel good, it makes it clear that the person is miserable, and most likely an assh*le. You don’t have to like the show, but why act like it’s some plague on the genre? It’s like being mad at rainbows or something. The show is not trying to be gratuitous, over-the-top, or cruel, there are more than enough shows like that.
@@tefweebz It's the opposite of wholesome. It's fascistic. Relgion used to be used on the public the way shows like Lasso are. As an opiate. To placate morons. "JUST BE GOOD". What is good? "WE WILL TELL YOU." Whether it's the crusades or genocides or governments run amok it always gets to this point when a group gets too much control. They start trying to dictate language, what is wholesome…and then recruit an army of Karens who buy into it and become the first layer of their enforcement arm.The second layer being state violence. Disagree with what is wholesome and want to speak freely? Oh, then to preserve wholesomeness violence will be used to protect it. In the nation the show is set, people are going to jail daily with use of violent force against them for just saying words that are "not wholesome". And those words can change any day. At a whim. WHOLSOME!!!! PROTECT IT!!! lol 1984, Brave New World, Farenheit…they all basically lay this out. As does every form of think tank paper. It's unfortunate you're so tied up in television fantasy world to see what's going on. It's a fun world out here in actual wholesome land, where people care about each other and use their brain to analyze what is aroudn them. I should be thankful for shows like Lasso. They keep people like you occupied like a day care center for dullards. You sickie.
The ending of "it's beyond beautiful - it's hot" just absolutely kills me every time. The delivery and the blinking and the honesty which he can't spin is just superb.
This was so early in the show yet it’s still one of my favorite scenes in the whole series. Ted is not some naive happy-go-lucky fool, he’s smart and aware and intentional in what he does. His optimism and positivity are a choice, one that he makes every moment of every day.
I like how Crimm’s article said Ted consumed so much spicy food that “it’s sure to wreak havoc on his digestive system” but he doesn’t even get to see Ted get a whole second meal served to him. Just makes you love Ted that much more.
I love it because it reminds me of being treated to a dinner by an Indian friend. I came from a culture where it was polite to finish all the food on your plate, he came from a culture where a good host would provide more than enough great food to satisfy the guest. I was trying to wrap things up by finishing stuff, and he was ordering more things in a panic...we figured it out eventually.
I think Trent’s social awkwardness is the funniest thing to watch, whenever he’s out in a social situation, the whole mask of a snotty critic kind of drops and him and Ted are allowed to have a normal conversation.
You make a really good point there. Trent is socially awkward and naturally introverted. He deals with it in part by becoming a journalist who can ask hard, blunt questions and get to the truth. Since meeting Ted, his view of life has changed. Here at the start of S3, he is feeling his way in a new role, researching a book on the ground at Richmond. He’s floundering a bit as Roy scuppers his rather shy attempts to connect with staff and players. Ted has his back though. I’m so interested to see how their dynamic plays out.
My step father loved being a coach, no matter the sport. he was really passionate about helping all kids in and out of school. i used to help my mom and bake things like cookies and brownies and bring them to the school for his kids. he had a bad heart and a bad hip but he never let that stop him from doing what he loved. he passed away 2 year ago and he had left such a huge impact on the kids he coached that those kids still go and visit his grave and it reminds me of how much of a good man he was.
0:20 This is the start of Trent Crimm (the Independent)'s mancrush on Ted, you can tell he's trying to hide a blush when Ted ever so subtly compliments him.
At 2:39 my favorite interaction between the two when Coach Lasso says "I really enjoyed spending this time with you Trent" where Trent says "You actually mean that don't you" Right there when Trent left he had the utmost respect for Lasso because he was genuine even though Lasso joked ..no =)
I'm sure he's not used to the people he's interviewing being curious about him as a person. They're the star and he's the the chronicler. Except with ted, everyone else is the star
The way he looked a little startled at the question and then immediately agreed with Ted when he said “writing?” makes me wonder if he was worried Ted knew he was gay before he was out. Some good foreshadowing if true.
Trent "You actually mean that dont you?" Thats when Trent fully respected him, realised Ted wasnt just giving him lip service like other managers he has dealt with.
Trent Crimm, The Independent is such a cool character At first, he seems like a dude just doing the job for himself but throughout the series, he not only becomes friends with Ted but he respects him and supports him throughout Also, he has a cool voice and lovely hair, what is there not to love about the guy?
I love the moment when Ted follows up that poignantly wonderful "it ain't easy, Trent, but neither is growin' up without someone believin' in you" line with something you think at first is going to be another profound statement: "Let me ask you this..." But then he just says, "Is my tongue still in my mouth? Because I am about to hallucinate from all the heat here." LOL this is why i love this show
Trent Crimm character is amazing. That cool and chill way of being as well as his style and way of express himself is something else. Hope we could see more of him in the next seasons.
1:08 that’s the moment I realized I would die for mr Ted lasso he’s the sweetest human ever is in obvious pain from spice but goes back for more cause he didn’t want to be rude
I was in the room while family started binging this show on vacation. I wasn't paying full attention, but was pleasantly surprised. It was this scene that finally won me over.
That was my reaction to Afghan food. One of my friends who's Afghan hosted a whole bunch of us one day. Her mom cooked everything, and I had to ask what each dish was, but by the end of the night, I was hooked. I have loved Afghan food ever since, and am open to eating anything this world has to offer.
Everyone’s (rightfully) focused on the “You actually mean that, don’t you?” exchange, but I want to draw some more attention to “What do you love?” You can so clearly tell from Trent’s expression how caught off guard he is by the question. He’s never had someone ask after his own passions before, and I think this is the moment he starts to understand that Ted’s kindness isn’t an act.
I love how in other shoes like Matlock or Columbo the character will use a folksy façade to get people to underestimate them, but it's not a gambit that Ted runs, he sincerely wants to accept invitations and try someone's food he's not used to and speak so candid and honestly. His sheer genuineness is what throws people off, the fact that it's *not* an act. Ted Lasso is an inspiration
This was the episode that really got me hooked to binge the whole thing. The fact that even the toughest reporter is just undeniably affected and swooned by his positivity and charisma just said a lot about where this she was going.
As Trent later writes in his Article, Ted ate whole of that food, so that his new friend, whime he just met, would not be embarrassed in front if his family. Now thats a real man, person
Ted Lasso is great because it combines the two forms of English language communication with the least sincerity: British small talk and Southern coach-speak.
Ted Lasso doesn't have a Southern accent per se. Jason Sudeikis is doing a spot-on version of the rural Midwestern accent you might hear in the belt that runs from southeastern Kansas around Wichita (I never made it further west), southern Missouri below the Missouri River (Joplin, Branson, Springfield, etc.), southern Illinois, and Indiana. He's from Kansas City (I'm from St. Louis) so it's not his native voice but for sure we heard it a lot growing up.
Yeah I would say it's far from underrated, but yet at the same time it's one of those incredibly rare shares that despite winning a lot of awards and pretty much being unanimously adored by viewers, it still doesn't feel like enough praise.
Love the subtle complexity of the conversation here. It is really well done by the writers. When Ted said "you've just met a cool person" Trent smiles and Ted started to win him over but only for a second. Trent being Trent put his defenses up and challenged Ted again "what your doing is irresponsible" Ted says "it's perfect" when the food is way too hot shocking Trent as he realized Ted is genuinely a good guy trying to help others and brighten peoples day. Trent who is used to being in a harsh environment all the time is not being used to this type of interaction cant understand it and gets up to run off. Then Ted's final comment about enjoying the day seals the deal and he had fully won over Trent's respect "you actually mean that don't you?"
I feel like people are missing the point of the heat in the food. Ted ordered off menu and asked them to bring them something that the chef would make for their own family, implying they enjoy super spicy food. I've been told that this is the best way to order from a restaurant, you'll get the best food ever this way and try things you might miss out on otherwise.
I had the sense that Ted asked for what the chef would make for his own family because it's a warm thing to ask for, and that's how you get the best dish the chef can make, but given that Ted had never had Indian food, I sensed that he had no idea that he was ordering up the spiciest possible thing the chef could make from one of the world's spiciest cuisines. Put another way: Ted didn't imply that he wanted spicy food, but that was inferred.
I like the way people are explaining Indian food as if the British people who are involved in making this show wouldn't know how to portray it correctly - there are Indian, Bangladeshi, and Pakistani restaurants everywhere in Britain, this is part of our national cuisine now. Chicken Tikka Masala is even a native British dish. The unwitting heat level is probably exaggerated for entertainment purposes.
I mean, duh? These scene is meant to show Ted's nature and how just trying to be a good guy is getting him into sticky situations, but he rolls with it because that's the kind of guy he is. He probably rather not eat this very spicy food, but he feels the responsibility to respect the chef and his friend who is the son-in-law of the chef so he keeps eating it even though it's putting him through actual physical discomfort. It's an example of the core premise of the show, and shows that him becoming the coach of a British football club is an authentic display of his character, rather than it being born out of pure ego as some of the characters of the show expect.
This show is genius, they purposely made them eat Indiana food so they could break apart the message behind this scene in a way that its audience could easily understand, brilliant writing combining humor with serious themes
What a great scene and a great show! Thank you Jason Sudekis for this amazing positivity and showing that there is hope on people! What great years we had with 3 Seasons of this piece of art!
I took my boyfriend (an American) to eat indian food for the first time a few weeks ago. He loved it so much but the spice really got to him. It was really funny to see but we both had an amazing time
Trent has facial expressions that are very British and I remember meeting a guy like him when visiting England as a teen. Normally I except other cultures without question but I felt like we were truly of different cultures because it was so subtle that it shook me up.
@Miscellaneaous, yes, and it is also the name of a spicy curry chicken dish. It is better to be thought a dumb ass than to speak and remove all doubt, bruh.
@Miscellaneaous, by putting the Madras together with the Vindaloo (another, spicier curry chicken dish) it’s plainly obvious to anyone with two grey cells what I’m talking about. I am muting you because you are too dim to tolerate any longer.
I love how before the article, Trent asks the hard hitting questions to take Ted down, but after the article, he seems to be asking them to get a peek into Ted's mind.
My favorite line is, "congratulations, you both just met a cool person". Dear Ted can't stop being positive in every situation.

Trent Crimm. Independent.
Trent Crimm, The Independent is such a cool character
At first, he seems like a dude just doing the job for himself but throughout the series, he not only becomes friends with Ted but he respects him and supports him throughout
Also, he has a cool voice and lovely hair, what is there not to love about the guy?
I love the moment when Ted follows up that poignantly wonderful "it ain't easy, Trent, but neither is growin' up without someone believin' in you" line with something you think at first is going to be another profound statement: "Let me ask you this..."
But then he just says, "Is my tongue still in my mouth? Because I am about to hallucinate from all the heat here." LOL this is why i love this show
Trent Crimm character is amazing. That cool and chill way of being as well as his style and way of express himself is something else. Hope we could see more of him in the next seasons.
1:08 that’s the moment I realized I would die for mr Ted lasso he’s the sweetest human ever is in obvious pain from spice but goes back for more cause he didn’t want to be rude
One of the very few shows where after you watch it forwards, you immediately want to watch it backwards.
One of the best archs was Ted being able to win Trent over.
I was in the room while family started binging this show on vacation. I wasn't paying full attention, but was pleasantly surprised. It was this scene that finally won me over.
Sort of like Trent in this episode if you think about it
I love the dynamic between these two once TC realized Lasso was being genuine!
“I never had Indian food” and digs right in, 😮
Well, until I had Indian food. . . . .I too had never had Indian food. Seems to me the best way to try something is to just go for it 😄
That was my reaction to Afghan food. One of my friends who's Afghan hosted a whole bunch of us one day. Her mom cooked everything, and I had to ask what each dish was, but by the end of the night, I was hooked. I have loved Afghan food ever since, and am open to eating anything this world has to offer.
Everyone’s (rightfully) focused on the “You actually mean that, don’t you?” exchange, but I want to draw some more attention to “What do you love?” You can so clearly tell from Trent’s expression how caught off guard he is by the question. He’s never had someone ask after his own passions before, and I think this is the moment he starts to understand that Ted’s kindness isn’t an act.
I love how in other shoes like Matlock or Columbo the character will use a folksy façade to get people to underestimate them, but it's not a gambit that Ted runs, he sincerely wants to accept invitations and try someone's food he's not used to and speak so candid and honestly. His sheer genuineness is what throws people off, the fact that it's *not* an act. Ted Lasso is an inspiration
Well ted, if you can eat normal Indian food completely, I'd say welcome to the family
Shut up Sai
@@VaydaladaVodalada let the beautiful man speak, Roberta!!
TBH that is unlike any Indian restaurant I’ve been to in London…
@@gilwillia Granted, I've only eaten in a handful of Indian restaurants in London, Bombay Bustle in Mayfair looks a bit like that.
My favorite part is when Ollie says “we knew you americans like to eat “ I don’t know why but I have always found that line funny
Ted Lasso would be excellent on Hot Ones
“It is BEYOND beautiful, it’s hot…” *dying inside but too polite to say anything*
He is now.
This was the episode that really got me hooked to binge the whole thing. The fact that even the toughest reporter is just undeniably affected and swooned by his positivity and charisma just said a lot about where this she was going.
You can just barely hear it as Ollie walks away, but he says "mad respect."
As Trent later writes in his Article, Ted ate whole of that food, so that his new friend, whime he just met, would not be embarrassed in front if his family. Now thats a real man, person
Ted Lasso is great because it combines the two forms of English language communication with the least sincerity: British small talk and Southern coach-speak.
Ted Lasso doesn't have a Southern accent per se. Jason Sudeikis is doing a spot-on version of the rural Midwestern accent you might hear in the belt that runs from southeastern Kansas around Wichita (I never made it further west), southern Missouri below the Missouri River (Joplin, Branson, Springfield, etc.), southern Illinois, and Indiana. He's from Kansas City (I'm from St. Louis) so it's not his native voice but for sure we heard it a lot growing up.
I love how Ted turned this interview into an episode of Hot Ones 😅
Probably the most underrated TV show. I love the writing and messages in each episode.
Hardly 'underrated' when TED LASSO won a ton of Emmy, Critic's Choice and Peabody Awards last year.
Yeah I would say it's far from underrated, but yet at the same time it's one of those incredibly rare shares that despite winning a lot of awards and pretty much being unanimously adored by viewers, it still doesn't feel like enough praise.
People REALLY need to start learning the definition of "underrated"
Trent is one of the most compelling characters in the show. And this is a really good scene.
Trent sees the face of true authenticity for the first time and it changes his life.
Love the subtle complexity of the conversation here. It is really well done by the writers. When Ted said "you've just met a cool person" Trent smiles and Ted started to win him over but only for a second. Trent being Trent put his defenses up and challenged Ted again "what your doing is irresponsible" Ted says "it's perfect" when the food is way too hot shocking Trent as he realized Ted is genuinely a good guy trying to help others and brighten peoples day. Trent who is used to being in a harsh environment all the time is not being used to this type of interaction cant understand it and gets up to run off. Then Ted's final comment about enjoying the day seals the deal and he had fully won over Trent's respect "you actually mean that don't you?"
Trent’s hair is absolutely magnificent. Oh, and so is this show lol
I feel like people are missing the point of the heat in the food. Ted ordered off menu and asked them to bring them something that the chef would make for their own family, implying they enjoy super spicy food. I've been told that this is the best way to order from a restaurant, you'll get the best food ever this way and try things you might miss out on otherwise.
my friend describes it as "Indian restaurant spicy" or "Indian family spicy" :D
I had the sense that Ted asked for what the chef would make for his own family because it's a warm thing to ask for, and that's how you get the best dish the chef can make, but given that Ted had never had Indian food, I sensed that he had no idea that he was ordering up the spiciest possible thing the chef could make from one of the world's spiciest cuisines. Put another way: Ted didn't imply that he wanted spicy food, but that was inferred.
This is wholly dependent on the chef, the popularity of the restaurant, and time of day.
Though having a lassi or similar instead of water would have been better for dealing with the heat
I live in Kansas and i can confirm, we do have really good indian food, especially along rt 66
any one else catch the Were the millers reference at 1:37 ? XD
I know everyone wants Ted and Rebecca to be endgame but seriously I ship Trent and Ted so hard!!!
"The smell is already deep inside of my brain" is such a wild thing to say 😂
I love everything about this show. I really hope they continue with it.
I really liked it too, but the last season was a little cheesy for me. My favorite episode was when Jamie Tartt went home. That was a special episode.
“Wait I’m supposed to be getting paid?” Love the Were the millers reference!
Trent Crimm is a fan the moment he orders the food.
This show is an absolute masterpiece.
This is one of my favorite scenes in the whole series.
Loved this show from episode 1, but this scene is what really got me properly hooked.
This scene HAS to be inspired by Hot Ones right? Something about the spicy food makes people give the most authentic answers in interviews.
This is one of my favourite shows of the past ten years, no question.
This show is soo damn good. This actually made me be a good person. Ted Lasso.
I like the way people are explaining Indian food as if the British people who are involved in making this show wouldn't know how to portray it correctly - there are Indian, Bangladeshi, and Pakistani restaurants everywhere in Britain, this is part of our national cuisine now. Chicken Tikka Masala is even a native British dish. The unwitting heat level is probably exaggerated for entertainment purposes.
I mean, duh? These scene is meant to show Ted's nature and how just trying to be a good guy is getting him into sticky situations, but he rolls with it because that's the kind of guy he is. He probably rather not eat this very spicy food, but he feels the responsibility to respect the chef and his friend who is the son-in-law of the chef so he keeps eating it even though it's putting him through actual physical discomfort. It's an example of the core premise of the show, and shows that him becoming the coach of a British football club is an authentic display of his character, rather than it being born out of pure ego as some of the characters of the show expect.
Chicken Tikka masala is a native British dish? What?
@@sayanpoddar5580 yes it was conceived in Shish mahal in Glasgow
@@EvilGrapefruit Indians have been eating chicken tikka for centuries, adding gravy to an already existing dish hardly makes it a new dish.
@@sayanpoddar5580 it does make it a new dish. It is recognised as such globally. Recombinant innovation is innovation.
This show is genius, they purposely made them eat Indiana food so they could break apart the message behind this scene in a way that its audience could easily understand, brilliant writing combining humor with serious themes
Beginning of a beautiful friendship
Ted basically made Trent go on an episode of hot ones to interview him.
Love that show!
What a great scene and a great show! Thank you Jason Sudekis for this amazing positivity and showing that there is hope on people! What great years we had with 3 Seasons of this piece of art!
Trent Crimm - a great character. More Trent, please!
You forgot to add The Independent! lol
A friend pointed out that Trent Crimm (The Independent) looks like Scar from The Lion King and I can't unsee it.
Omg one of my favorite eps... And after this last ep and learning what happened to teds dad omg understand more and i need more tissue!!!!
"It's beyond beautiful, it's hot" fantastic line
Ted lasso is the essence of unapologetically portraying boy healthy masculine and American standards
I always think of Tyrone Powers in The Razor's Edge. Ted is on different kind of mission that people eventually understand and are humbled by.
I took my boyfriend (an American) to eat indian food for the first time a few weeks ago. He loved it so much but the spice really got to him. It was really funny to see but we both had an amazing time
Oh, man. I didn't realize Pep's quote is from this episode!
Trent has facial expressions that are very British and I remember meeting a guy like him when visiting England as a teen. Normally I except other cultures without question but I felt like we were truly of different cultures because it was so subtle that it shook me up.
The most important lesson I learned living in the UK is an appreciation of curry.
Madras or Vindaloo, count me in . . .
@Miscellaneaous, yes, and it is also the name of a spicy curry chicken dish.
It is better to be thought a dumb ass than to speak and remove all doubt, bruh.
@Miscellaneaous, you might be taken seriously if you drop the ubiquitous ‘bruh’.
The slang makes you sound like a punk.
@Miscellaneaous, by putting the Madras together with the Vindaloo (another, spicier curry chicken dish) it’s plainly obvious to anyone with two grey cells what I’m talking about.
I am muting you because you are too dim to tolerate any longer.
Patia?
“It’s beyond beautiful, it’s hot”
I don’t know why but this line makes me laugh.
Scene really sets the tone for the whole series.
Alan: Morning.
Ben: All right.
Alan: Sorry?
Ben: Good morning.
Alan: That’s the one.
This brings tears to my eyes!
It's like that quote from Lawrence of Arabia: "Certainly it hurts. The trick is not minding that it hurts."
My man killed him with kindness lol
The title of this should be "Ted and Trent Crimm, The Independent at an Indian Restaurant"
Trent got the HOT ONES treatment. Lol
probably my favorite episode of the entire series.
I love how Trent became part of the gang in season 3
I love how before the article, Trent asks the hard hitting questions to take Ted down, but after the article, he seems to be asking them to get a peek into Ted's mind.
Ah, thank God. My keyboard still works. When he asked Trent if his tongue was still in his mouth, I spit beer all over my laptop.
Easily one of the best scenes in the whole show
Loved it when they read Trent’s article the next day.
The sigh Ted does at 3:03 is halarious!
