someone explain to me this one thing from ted lasso 3x10

“i knew this little boy. working class, from richmond. he loved football so much. he used to sneak into the matches because his family just couldn’t afford the tickets.” (the security guard throws him out, he never came back………..until he walked in 25 years later and bought the club.)

“i was a young punk who snuck in every week…i sat there because she was there…(“my mother and my boyfriend were furious”)…she insisted that i should stay…and we fell in love.”

what are we to make of this?? like, are there conceivably multiple men of a similar age (both of whom inappropriately pursue taken women) who regularly snuck into richmond games as teens? definitely. i’m not saying rupert IS the romcom man; in fact i DON’T think he is. (for a variety of reasons — including rebecca would’ve been, uh, a child when rupert was sneaking into games. 🤮)

but it’s odd to have this parallel…particularly since the romcom couple has long been thought to mirror/symbolize/echo ted and rebecca……

my working theory is the parallel shows the difference between “romcom” fantasy and reality — the end of the romcom is “it all worked out, we fell in love” — the real life parallel is “i got kicked out, i became the worst possible version of myself and have hurt so many people in the process.”

……..but that feels like it’s not the whole thing. it’s so odd to have this subtlest of callbacks to a couple who withstood the test of time, the ultimate example of romcommunism, be echoed in rebecca’s story about younger rupert — the ultimate villain of the show.

thoughts???

Foreshadowing in Ted Lasso 2x05

I was watching a reaction to "Rainbow" and noticed something that blew me away.

When Rebecca tells Keeley about her Bantr match and her Tumescence match, the moment Rebecca says, "Shouldn't romance have a little mystery?" Guess who appears in the background?

SAM. THE MYSTERY MAN HIMSELF.

GETTING HIS FREE NESPRESSO MACHINE.

HE WAS RIGHT THERE.

Like... imagine if he had come a minute earlier and overheard Rebecca quoting his own text?!

The foreshadowing in this show, I tell you.

dani finding it funny that ted and jamie look like they’re sitting in the guys hand while everyone else is upset is so on brand 😭

jamie better get on his hands and knees and beg sam to forgive him, that’s all i know.

sam is so precious, i freaking love him

higgins keeps showing up in the most random places 😭 someone get that man an office

nate talking about how jamie being back would ruin morale by belittling everyone then having him immediately doing it to will was such a smart move

ted got through to dr fieldstone 🥹 i knew she’d grow to love him eventually

oh shit, this is gonna be a disaster

- 2x03

sassy!! i’m so glad she’s back

“you finished on my-“ YELLING

“did he talk like that-“ “the whole time. and so eager to please. it was fabulous.” 😭

genuinely forgot about their hookup til now

“uncle roy, can we have ice cream for dinner?” “no, that’s dumb” “you’re right, thank you for helping me set boundaries” pls

“wow, she really loves you” “i know, it’s fucking annoying” 😭

i really hope we see more of rebecca and nora’s relationship, i’m loving it so far

nora being a sam girlie is so real of her

what the fuck did i just witness?!76(;;$(85&

“charles edgar cheeserton the 3rd” wake up babe new chuck e. cheese name just dropped

“sincerely, boss ass bitch” this whole scene has me in tears

“jamie tartt is a muppet and i hope he dies of the incurable disease of being a little bitch” that’s actually a really good insult 😭

“i don’t drink coffe, my mother says i was born caffeinated” she’s not wrong 😭

nate is taking hit after hit this episode and i can’t even feel bad for him after how he’s treated will

God, i love the way higgins talks about julie 🥹

alright, who wrote ‘yum’ on roys picture? cause i know it wasn’t him lmao

i don’t care if it was just brett almost breaking character, i’m gonna believe that there was a slight smile on roys face cause he was happy to see ted

“you’d look well fit with pigtails” “i do 😁” petition for rebecca to wear pigtails at least once before the show ends…for science.

roy asking ted if he did alright with coaching isaac is something that can be so personal

isaac stopping in the middle of the game to tie that girls shoe just made me love him more

roys reluctant friendship with ted is everything

when harry met sally 😭

every time i believe i can’t love roy more than i already do he goes and proves me wrong

roy seeing the impact he had on isaac 🥹

HIGGINS AND JULIA ARE SO CUTE

keeley looks so proud of roy aw

don’t know if i’ve said this before but isaac has such a beautiful smile

“shut up. just shut up. you had me at ‘coach’” and if i said this is the funniest show on television?

Sleepless in Richmond: Ted Lasso is a Classic Rom-Com

We've all seen 2x05 'Rainbow' and pointed enthusiastically at the screen when we recognized a rom-com reference. That episode was purposely packed full of them to remind you that Ted Lasso is the best football rom-com Nora Ephron never wrote.

The cultural imprint left by those classic 80s & 90s films we know and love, that same storytelling DNA, is present in everyone's favorite slow burn hit. The reason those movies still resonate with us is the pure and simple fact that, at their heart, they focus on raw human connection. They don't shy away from the ugly and sad parts of life. That's what makes the characters so well-rounded, so recognizable.

Ted Lasso is, at its heart, a show about raw human connection and the good, bad and ugly parts of the lives we lead.

So, how exactly does Ted Lasso mirror the iconic work of Nora Ephron beyond the things we see in 'Rainbow'? Read on...

What we think of as fate is just two neuroses knowing that they are a perfect match.

In Sleepless in Seattle, Sam Baldwin, a man who has just lost his wife, moves across the country with his young son and finds love again with the help of radio host Doctor Marcia Fieldstone.

Ted Lasso, a man who is in the midst of divorcing his wife, leaves the life he knew with Michelle and their young son Henry to move to London and coach a football team. Later, with the help of Doctor Sharon Fieldstone, Ted's growth is evident, and by the end of the second season, we find him more open to the idea of maybe - just maybe - falling in love again.

The first time we met, we hated each other...

There are multiple references to the movie which in my opinion (and also Brett Goldstein's) is the greatest rom-com of all-time - When Harry Met Sally. That infamous question "can a man and a woman every really be 'just friends'?" threads through every single interaction between Ted and Rebecca.

From the moment Rebecca meets Ted, she hates him. She goes out of her way to find small, petty reasons to justify her annoyance, knowing deep down - as we eventually see - that she never really hated him at all.

Then, there are the biscuits.

In a moment that mirrors Sally's performance that shocks Harry at Katz's Deli, Rebecca sinks into her seat and moans as she takes a bite of one of Ted's now-famous shortbread biscuits.

Ted sits in Sharon's office, staring glumly at the drinking bird on the desk. Just like Harry.

Ted sits alone in his apartment, thinking about his failed relationship while throwing tiny plastic darts at a tiny dartboard. Just like Harry throwing playing cards into a bowl in his empty apartment.

The 'semantic satiation' scene mirrors Harry and Sally's stroll through the MoMA in which (ingeniously improvised) he asks her to "partake of my pecan pie'" The back and forth between Ted and Rebecca over the word 'plan' holds the same amount of joyful tension, and it's incredibly fun to watch.

It only took three months...twelve years and three months.

Early in season one, Ted holds the door open for Rebecca. He doesn't realize how far down the hallway she really is. So he waits.

"That's a long time to wait, Ted."

“Well, I respect you didn’t hurry.”

Will season three be Ted and Rebecca's very own twelve years and three months? It certainly feels like we've been waiting that long.

#Ted Lasso #Jason Sudeikis #Bill Lawrence #Apple TV+#thoughts #Ted x Rebecca #I told you I was gonna write an essay 😂#I have a lot more to say #but the post would be way too long 😂
