SURPRISE SHOW!! (Ted Lasso S1E1)

I can’t believe you haven’t added After Life to the list of things to watch. Tonally, it’s about as far from Ted Lasso as possible, but both do explore themes of hope, honesty and what it means to be a good person and to grow as an individual

If anyone needs help syncing the reaction to the movie on Apple TV+ you can try out this browser extension that I developed: https://www.casper.live/ You can pause and jump around in the reaction and everything is kept in sync. My recommended "offset" for this reaction is 298.65.

So.... this is Major League.... with football.... I mean.... Soccer.

Vega

Random factoid, Brett Goldstein, who plays Roy, is also a writer for the show. He was hired as a writer, but auditioned for Roy. They liked his take on the character so much he kept both jobs.

Lord Byron

Great show and season 2 is good too. For people saying S2 is too woke, the themes this show takes is similar to current English football. Just look at the issues with the Newcastle United takeover that has been going on for the past two years.

Eddie

Dude, that's your opinion. Stop trying to rain on other people's joy by stating your opinion like it's fact. Didn't enjoy season 2? That's cool. Doesn't mean other people can't still love it.

Kate Herzig

I disagree with Jake but Caedyn is just a much of a problem calling anyone who doesn't like SJW's bigots. Grow the fuck up

Chon

ok bigot

Caedyn

Yes! Love this show!

Luis R.

I think S2 is uneven but it's not because of any alleged SJW stuff. For me, S2 regains it's footing after the Christmas episode.

ScottK63

That’s the most retarded shit I’ve ever heard. Season 2 is amazing.

Griff

Consider getting Apple TV, it has great stuff, only $6 a month

Griff

Season 2 is garbage though

Jake Curry

First season is great. Season 2 devolves isome SJW crap and is kind of dumb

Jake Curry

You should do you, not difficult to subscribe again once you see her doing things more your speed. I wont be watching this show, but hopefully she will do something that I am interested in at some point. As for the people making fun of your announcement of leaving: fuck em. If you dont make your displeasure with something known (though it could always be worded nicer) then the content creator wont know what isnt working with at a least a segment of their fans.

Nimo-the-Red

Yeah, while I love that she does TV shows, it's been a bit much for a little while. 4 out of 5 days should not be TV shows, 3 was too much honestly, but it was something that could be dealt with. If you wanna do this many shows, you should be doing more than one thing a day then.

Nicholas Hentges

It was the third episode that really got me hooked, so I would highly recommend you watch the first 3. If you still dont like it, I'd say the shows not for you. But like Cam K said, the actual sport is just a small componant of the show. It informs the setting more than the story. Its like how The Office (Original or American) is a show about people that work at a paper company and not just a show about people selling paper

Simonsays

Glad to see you’re seeing something light. Unfortunately I don’t have Apple TV so I’ll be skipping these reactions (probably most of Nat-mares too as I hate scary movies), but I hope you enjoy the show!

My Toasty Toast

Nat is going to watch Black Widow when it available on regular Disney+, so that she and her audience don't have to fork out a fortune to watch it.

Darryl Low

We are watching them now so that Cameron has the time to edit them, and Nat can then post them on Youtube in October.

Darryl Low

Shame!

Jason

Get your head out of your ass WellDouche

Tomas

Oh, side note: Hannah Waddingham, playing Rebecca Welton the team owner, also played in another series that you just recently finished. You'll be very surprised at who it was.

Joel Palenychka

I love this series! I've finished season 1 and just a few episodes into season 2. You'll love every character, and you'll cry more than a few times. Keep some tissues handy. I binged the entire first season in two days. I held off on starting the second season because I knew I'd be back into the work week and I knew the show would keep me up late watching "just one more". I am very much looking forward to your reactions to these episodes.

Joel Palenychka

The British are pretentious cousin fuckers. They sent all their cool kids down here in Aus years ago. If a brit doesn't like you then your living life mate. im out.

Cripkie

I can't afford Apple TV but I hear its good lol

Rey

never was into sports myself. I was a music geek. my big brother was tho, big time and i have tremendous respect for him so, shit why not nat. Ill go down this rabbit hole. Not available here so ive gotta be a scallywag ;)

Cripkie

Since you have AppleTV+, please consider checking out other shows on there like Foundation.

Saifu

I'm so excited that you're watching this! Such a fun, uplifting show, and while it's set in the UK, I think it came out at just the right moment for the US. When everything is so centered on division and "us vs. them," this show and this character is so centered on what unifies people, and it's so uplifting! I can't wait to delve further into it with you!

Gary Giaimo

Fewer series, More movies, Brick, Hard Candy, Snatch. Willow, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Try Ted Lasso when it came, out didn't like it.

Daniel Vezina

Since no one has answered yet, yes Scott Van Pelt is a real SportsCenter host on his actual set for that scene. In fact, all of the commentators and pundits you'll see on Ted Lasso are actual commentators and pundits.

Jordan Freemyer

I am *very* excited that you're watching this! This may be my favorite series. It's so well done!

MattN

AHHHHH TED LASSO! tbh i didn't like the first season. Lifelong soccer far, it just doesn't represent the sport well, but 2nd season i loved. also this show is great counter programming to Haunting

Vincent Valentin

This was so great to watch with you! I've already caught up on Ted Lasso but I've been wanting to watch it again and I'm so happy I get to but with your reactions! My favorite piece of trivia from this is that the woman who plays Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) is actually the woman who rang the bell and said "Shame" while Cersei walked thru Kings Landing naked in GoT.

Lisa Tosti

Welp, you got me to sign up for Apple+, and it's worth it at least until we get through Ted Lasso.

Kevin Mowery

I always get a kick out of the people who think making a show of announcing they will not be watching is a good idea. Doubly so considering that the reaction market is largely built around millennial viewers watching classic movies, meaning a sizable portion of the audience is made up of people in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. So there's a fair chance characters like WellNo and the guy asking if "Taboo" was next are grown-ass men well into middle age.

RE

Football is life

Hippyjosh

I think the reactions to scary movies or shows should've started in October.

Kal-El_138

Super enjoyed this! I'm a big fan of this series. :) I'm very happy that you enjoyed this first episode. You're going to get a kick out of this for sure.

Logan Kerlee

I was going to bail on the channel when I saw Ted Lasso, but I’ll stick around a little longer for a Quiet Place. Hm.

James Cain

This is going to be the first show that I will be watching with you for the first time. I’ve been thinking about starting and now, well, I guess I am, lol.

Brandon Scott

Get the free trial, it'll at least get you through the first few episodes and then see if you wanna pick it up. At $5 it's the least onerous streaming service I subscribe to haha

RE

Well, I really like it so far. Jason Sudeikis is really good in this character. He's like a Ned Flanders but not as obnoxious and churchy. And "cheeky" is definitely a compliment. Means you're funny and clever. I always call Phoebe Waller-Bridge "cheeky" because she's just so damn cheeky. (Watch "Fleabag" if you've never seen it. It's awesome and 12 episdoes total.)

Joe Blankenship

Halloween is LIFE~!

Jayson Phillips

I don't understand

WackySwacky

Ah, Theodore Lasso

Kelvin

I keep hoping to see Black Widow appear on the patreon... sigh. I appreciate American's love Halloween. But a whole month?! In Scotland we don't even acknowledge the day!! Our country is creepy all year round.

George Baxter

Ahhh. Well, I guess I'll watch it up and cancel. I always feel like I'm losing money on streaming services anyway. Never feel like I get my money's worth out of Netflix. And yeah, I had an iPod. 3rd gen I believe. 4 touch buttons and a touch wheel.

Joe Blankenship

I did not see this coming,... like at all What next Nat, we going to watch the Taboo porn series from the 80's an 90's together?

Aaron Taft

Problem with AppleTV is, for your $5, you ONLY get their Original Programming series. (And who the heck buys a service for Original Programming??) After that, for all the existing library TV shows and movies, it's still the same old iTunes VOD store we used to use on our AppleTV devices and...iPod Videos, if you go back that far.

Eric Janssen

Just an FYI for you both AppleTv is only $5 a month. I really recommend you get it if you can afford it to watch Ted Lasso. Season 2 only has 2 more episodes left. So you'll be able to binge all of season 1 and 2 for $5. I love this series so much. You can watch appleTV on all devices as well.

Corey

Hey, I'm assuming you guys have VPNs. Let me ask you, is your VPN still able to watch foreign Netflix stuff? Mine was doing it fine til a few weeks ago.

Joe Blankenship

I've heard good things about it from people whose taste in comedy I trust. I mean, The League was hilarious and you didn't really need to know football to enjoy that.

Joe Blankenship

Joe Blankenship

I see it has that guy from Mad Men and Chernobyl. He's good. I'll check it out.

Joe Blankenship

So glad to hear you are watching a comedy series, especially after GoT.

James M

Well, I won't be able to watch-along. I don't have Apple TV. Bu I will say I think it's perfectly fine that you sometimes pick your own stuff to watch. If you get enjoyment from watching tv, but your entire life is dictated by what other people want you to watch, that has to be quite draining. Most of your fans will understand. You gotta do what's best for you.

Jomero

Kinda looks that way. :( Oh well. I've never seen or heard of the show, and now I know why.

Jomero

Lol imagine being so arrogant and actually typing all that out thinking anyone cares, when Nat and everyone here is all smiles cracking up to a show with a protagonist equivalent of a golden retriever lmao.

Dr_Dallas

This is only on AppleTV? :(

Scott S

I haven't gotten the chance to watch this yet either! This is a great surprise!

john collins

Don't let the door hit you on the way out WellNo thanks for intellectual wit and warm feelings.

Paul G

Oh dear God! WellNo and the 2 idiots that liked his comment, please feel free to disappear from Natalie's Patreon. You won't be missed by anybody.

Darryl Low

That was fantastic how have I not watched this show 🤦‍♂️ I laughed a lot it's so funny also heartwarming seeing how lit up your face was during this Nat. "it's like packing into a clown car" 😂 that was hilarious 😂. I think this is perfect to watch after hill house before calling it a night. Cheeky was definitely meant as a compliment btw 🙂 and marmine ewwww you either love it or hate it I hate it even marmite flavoured crisps are gross 🤮 all in all I already adore this show so thankyou for a fantastic pick 👍

Ian

Love Ted Lasso! Doing this and Hill House, another show I loved, it just fantastic content.

K.N.

I'll watch the first one to see if it's something I want to continue with.

WackySwacky

I too am a fan of Pirates of the Caribbean.

WackySwacky

If you're getting Apple+, Episodes 1 and 2 of Foundation just came out, I would definitely recommend that show if you're into Sci-Fi at all.

WackySwacky

You could've been a little nicer about saying it's not for you.

WackySwacky

Side note if no one mentioned Rebecca character…actress was Septa Unella in GOT

Charlie Keeler

Awesome surprise…such a great show

Charlie Keeler

Fantastic surprise, I hope you love it as much as I do!

Fomorach

I love it! You should always feel entitled to watch what you want regardless of the vote or not. I too have fallen in love with the series. Have fun with it Nat.

Sandu Bogi Nasse

What

Fauxfox

Same problem here

ButtyOh

Jesus

Jerry Gonzalez

Wow. This Fucking SUCKS. Eugh; guess I'm not pledging again for a Fucking while.....................Fucking siiiiiiigh...eugh.....

WellNo

Ooo exciting! I’ve never watched along with a show I haven’t seen before and I’ve been wanting to watch Ted Lasso. This should be fun!

dinghy

SO excited for Hill House. I've seen the whole series like 6 separate times now so what's a 7th? lol

Dante

Yay! So happy to rewatch this with you! You’re going to love it and just like you said it’ll be the perfect “happy” show throughout October! When you are through October you should add Orphan Black to your list of shows to add to a poll or watch! It’s so good and I think would be a great “reaction” show!

Kelli E.

Wonderful news to wake up to - I personally didn't think I would like the show, and was skeptical of all the hype surrounding it. But it really is a wonderfully sweet show with a heart.

tezster

October 6th Black Widow will be free to all.

Paul G

Talk about a palette cleanser for all that Game of Thrones. I was a MASSIVE fan of Scrubs (also a Bill Lawrence show) back in the day, but I've only seen a few episodes of this - now I have some more motivation to get caught up.

Brandon

Just like Rocky isn't really about boxing, Ted Lasso isn't really about football. Give it a shot.

RE

Hi Nat and Happy Monday Reaction! This is quite unexpected to see Ted Lasso to begin this week, but it was a nice discovery today and it's always great to see you with big smiles, laughters and a few moments of emotional peaks 😄 I can't wait for the next episode! And yeah football is born during the XIX century (but don't know about the famous story hahaha), and takes its origin from different medieval sports era and I'm still amazed to hear the Americans saying "soccer" instead of football for a sport played at 99,9% with feet, while their football is played with the hands 😆 I hope you're fine, take care, be safe and stay golden! 💛

Calo Grsf

Thanks Nat for responding! Yeah I wasn’t thinking about that fact about black widow when I wrote this comment, I totally get it!

Cam K

In case you didn't know, Rebecca is the Shame Nun from GOT

Tiger Chu

Yo Ho, Yo Ho, Matey!..... It's really your only option without a sub. Not that I would ever advocate such things.

Brian Jones

Hi Cam! Just waiting til Black Widow is more widely available. Haven’t given up on Marvel haha

Natalie Gold

I've delayed Apple+ long enough I guess. The new Jon Stewart show is starting soon so this is good timing.

Joe Blankenship

Now just got to figure out how to watch it without Apple+

ButtyOh

How have i never heard of Ted Lasso before?

ButtyOh

Yes!!!!

Edward Houston

YES!! :D

RE

Props on Ted Lasso, I hear great things. Look forward to checking it out. Considering they are only 30 minute episodes though, I would suggest doing 2 a day rather than 1.

Brian Jones

Can't wait for hill House

Aman Jaiswal

Happy Monday Nat hope your weekend was a good one, starting the week with an unexpected surprise that I doubt any of us expected 🙂 don't know anything about this show but I'm looking forward to watching along with you 👍 in a few hours once I make it past the endless fuel seekers that is 🙄

Ian

No one wants to pay $20 - $30 bucks for each of those movies, but they'll be out for free on Disney+ soon so I imagine that's when we'll get around to watching them.

WackySwacky

Oh wow, that was quite a surprise! Been wanting to see this, but have not gotten around to Apple TV+ yet. Now I also have a good opportunity to watch Mythic Quest and the Morning Show too :D Also, love when you post the schedule, so I know whats coming :)

RustafanX

I think you'll really love this. It's so well written and acted. I've been waiting for someone to do a full reaction to it for a while, glad you decided to do it on your own without a poll. Really looking forward to it.

Tay Schumaker

Excellent.

Thomas Yanez

BELIEVE

Ryan

Now THIS is a nice surprise :D

Tiger Chu

Good points

Cam K

Hey Dyko, I’m in the same boat about sports as you are and that really made me not that interested in starting the show but in my opinion sports takes a backseat in this show, it’s much more than that.

Cam K

I think she said she's waiting for stuff to be widely available. No reason to rush into anything, may as well let some stuff build back up again so shew can make a run through a couple movie/series.

Tay Schumaker

She said she waits for BW to be available for free on disney+. Idk about what if though

Dominik Gerdessen

Oh fantastic, this really was a surprise joy of last year. And just to boast, it’s filmed in my home town. Richmond London. The town and locations are real, the football team is fictional. Enjoy its soooo good.

Harry Reece

Have you given up on Marvel? Or just taking a break? There’s still “Black Widow” and “What if..?” And Shang-chi will be out before you know it as well, then eternals in November but that will be in the theaters however the Hawkeye show comes out at the end of November and that will be available to start immediately.

Cam K

And it's not on any of my streaming services lol

Chris H

Perfect choice! 😃

Afonso Neves

Don't care much for sports so I'm gonna pass but you guys have fun with this one.

WackySwacky

Happy Monday, Natalie! 😊 I'm getting this downloaded right now so that I can watch it later tonight. Looking forward to starting this new show with you. I've never seen this show, so it'll be a first time watch for me as well. I'm looking forward to watching this reaction this evening. Have a great day today! 😊 Until the next video, Stay Golden! 💛

Randee Carreno

Great choice, excellent show.

Cam K

One thing's for sure, Nattie ALWAYS delivers the best surprises 💛

Darryl Low

THIS IS THE BEST SURPRISE EVER!

Dani

Just randomly binged this over the weekend. Solid show, shame I didn’t wait.

Ben Burnhill

wow what a surprise!! this has legit been one of my fave shows as of late, and i dont even like football lol

Matt Camburn

Been meaning to watch this show for a while I guess it’s time

Maya

Yes I’m actually so excited to see you react to this. Such a great feel good show to go along with the Natmare shows/ movies

Morgan Mccallion

Omg can’t wait

Travis

So excited you’re watching Ted Lasso! It is such an incredible show!!
