Thread by @mixbecca

after seeing so many people tweet about ted lasso i finally caved and looked up the show and it’s about……soccer???

i don’t know what i expected but certainly not this??? but also i am still v intrigued lol

OKAY YOU GUYS CONVINCED ME I WILL WATCH THE SOCCER SHOW THAT IS APPARENTLY NOT REALLY ABOUT SOCCER

ok i’m in love w the cranky british lady already.

i would die for nathan

THE HOT CRANKY BRITISH LADY IS NAMED REBECCA??

if rebecca hit me with her car i would thank her

the fact that she hired him to sabotage the club & the players all loathe him actually has me giddy bc they are obviously going to end up loving him. i hope 😭

wow i cannot think of the last time a show had me so firmly rooting for the main character. this is honestly some superb writing & acting bc damn

HE’S MAKING THE COOKIES?!?!?!? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

KEELEY AND REBECCA’S FRIENDSHIP IS MAKING ME EMO

BUT ALSO CAN THEY GET MARRIED

okay this is genuinely one of my favorite things i’ve watched in ages. fuck you guys this has sidelined my entire night. i love it

ted makes me want to be a better person :(

“You’re not quitting, you’re just letting me go.”

THIS AGED SO POORLY FUCK YOU GUYS WHY IS THE SOCCER SHOW MAKING ME CRY

i should have never started this show i’ve never known pain like i do right now he’s so SAD!!!!!!!!!!

IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO DANI ROJAS I WILL END THIS PLANET HE’S BEEN ON MY SCREEN FOR TWO SECONDS AND I WOULD GIVE MY LIFE FOR HIM

roy is reading the book

NATE CONFIDENTLY READING THE TEAM ROAST MY SWEET BOY MY PRECIOUS MAN

how is possible i love everyone in this fucking cast so much i cant handle this

REBECCA SINGING?????????????????

LEAVE ME HERE TO DIE

LET TED BE HAPPY!!!!! IF I SEE THIS MAN IN PAIN ONE MORE TIME—

NOT ROY KISSING HER AND THEN DRAMATICALLY LEAVING IM PAIN

roy is an actual cartoon character and i want to punch him & send him to therapy & also give him a giant hug lmao

also keeley is actually the hero of this series. my love. my wife. to me, she is perfect

higgins being a fully dimensional person who is becoming friends w ted & coach beard & nate makes me so happy like

it would have been so easy to make him just the Abused Assistant but i even care about hIM i love him

not rupert’s face on my fucking screen when i tell you i want this man to be set on fIRE

IS THIS THE DART SCENE EVERYONE WAS TWEETING ABOUT

AM I GOING TO CRY

NOT ROY TAKING A YOGA CLASS W A BUNCH OF OLD LADIES AND BEING INVESTED IN THEM IM CRYING

“Better manners when I’m holding a dart. Please.”

oh my god the anger in ted’s eyes

i

im not ready for this i can tell

“Have you played a lot of darts, Ted?”

😭😭😭😭

PLEASE
THAT WHOLE SCENE
AND THE SHIFT ON REBECCA’S FACE AS SHE REALIZES HE JUST HUSTLED RUPERT INTO LEAVING HER ALONE

it just hit me — the “barbecue sauce” right before the final thrown — sounds like a quirky ted-ism at first but earlier in the show he talks about food eliciting a memory & that him channeling his memories of his dad so he could have the confidence / focus for the bullseye i

oh my god the baby scene. RUPERT LEAVR HER ALONE YOU WALKING BALL OF SLIME I HATE HIM SO MUCH MY GOOOOOD

“I forgive you.”

okay but like. the writing of this show. he didn’t say “it’s okay” or “don’t worry about it”.

i forgive you.

which is so much stronger & braver & kinder bc instead of waving the wrongs away ted is saying yeah, that was messed up. i forgive you anyways.

TED LASSO. I JUST. GOD!!

Roy has come so far i’m sobbing

NOT HIM TOUCHING THE BELIEVE SIGN!!!!! LEAVE ME HERE TO DIE!!!!!

also the rebecca higgins moment was lovely i was just too busy having a mental breakdown over how much i love everyone (except for rupert who i would love to HIT WITH MY CAR) to be coherent

why is the last episode called the hope that kills you

im scared

ASSISTANT COACH

IM CRYING

STOP

AND NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF TED HADNT COME THERE AND GOTTEN NATE OUT OF HIS SHELL BC HE WAS THE FIRST TO LISTEN TO HIM

WE’RE ONLY TWO MINUTES IN 😭😭😭😭😭

PLEASE I CANT BREATHE

THAT MEANS ROY LOVES HIM LMAOOOOOOO

jamie’s face on my screen immediately raising my blood pressure

WAIT

REBECCA IS THE SHAME LADY FROM GAME OF THRONWS?????????

WHAT

wait holy shit her name is hannah??? my sister’s name is hannah. and i am rebecca and she plays a rebecca lmao

ROY’S SUSHI SOCKS LMAO

why am i so anxious about this fictional soccer game i don’t even like soccer

i swear to gOD IF THEY DON’T WIN IF THIS SHOW DOES NOT LET THIS DINGDONGS BE HAPPY

i am so anxious I’m physically sweating

the crowd singing roy’s name….as he limps off knowing with that look on his face….and the knowing look he exchanges with ted….i’m…

NOT THEM GETTING INTO A FOOTBALL FORMATION ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

I CANT BELIEVE I AM CRYING AND HAVE GOOSEBUMPS OVER A FUCKING SOCCER SHOW JASON SUDEIKIS IS A WAR CRIMINAL

I TAKE IT BACK WHY WOULD YOU GIVE ME THAT JOY AND THEN TAKE IT AWAY

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SAD MUSIC WHY AM I SEEING TED LASSO’S SAD FACE JASON SUDEIKIS TURN ON YOUR LOCATION I JUST WANNA TALK

not me feeling bad for jamie bc his dad is yelling at him

“i think we should all be a goldfish”

im so fucking pissed they won bc jamie finally learned to pass the ball im so angry this show is so well written i want to fist fight god

“Win the whole fucking thing.”

THIS BETTER BE FORESHADOWING

what am i supposed to do with my life now

is it july 23rd yet

i am going to make my boyfriend watch this with me immediately

i am a basket of feelings

me thinking about the dart scene

okay well

ted lasso is amazing and has more heart than i ever expected it to and i do not think a show has made me feel so many things so strongly or quickly about so many characters in years

and kindness definitely makes people hotter

in closing

my boyfriend just walked in, looking at me and said “……are you okay? that show really did a number on you huh?”

laugh while you still can, little man

because i am going to make you watch this with me and suffer

holy shit why did so many people find this

hahahahahahhhhhahahhhhaha the showrunner of ted lasso aka my one spark of joy in this hell year found my unhinged thread i am

hey bill, bestie, pal, buddy, friend, thank you for making me believe in love again buT WHY DID YOU MAKE TED C R Y

in all seriousness though ted lasso is a gift & i am so grateful & i feel like i leveled up as a writer just from watching it but also

my ex boyfriend tried to get me to care about soccer for five years and ted lasso did it in two days. amazing.

if jason sudeikis sees this & his first interaction w my existence is seeing me call him a wAR CRIMINAL bc he made me care about soccer i am going to have to leave twitter.

not coach beard seeing my unhinged thread im sobbing,,,,,, i owe you my life

ok well i guess a lot of people are enjoying this in closing if keeley punched me in the face i would say thank you, protect sam at all costs, roy baby go to therapy, rebecca please step on me & if ted doesn’t get to be happy i am going to blow up the fucking sun

thanks!!!!

PEOPLE KEEP FINDING THIS LMAO
