5 Wholesome Ted Lasso Details Only Noticeable on Rewatch
These will make you smile with tenderness and affection.
When Ted Lasso premiered in 2020, it was one of the first shows on the emerging Apple TV+ platform and has since remained the service's most memorable offering. Following the staff and players of AFC Richmond, the sitcom introduced a host of lovable characters. More significantly, Ted Lasso made us laugh and cry on multiple occasions throughout its three-season run – it's no wonder people have kept rewatching the show.
If you're contemplating a rewatch yourself, keep an eye out for these five moments – they're sure to give you immense satisfaction.
5. Country References
Ted enjoys teasing his friends and colleagues. Being from Kansas, he's naturally a country music fan, which explains why he leaves Roy's tickets under the name of Reba McEntire in one episode. Other references include Wynona Judd, Dolly Parton, and Shania Twain.
4. Higgins Shielding His Wife
Higgins may not be the most macho character on Ted Lasso, but he's a true protector and gentleman when it comes to his wife. Thus, during one of the matches, he leans in to shield his wife from a football that Isaac has kicked in her direction.
3. Colin's Self Outing
Colin's coming out story was a highlight of season 3. However, it had been foreshadowed long before. In fact, Colin outed himself back in season 2, when Keeley was teaching the team how to use Bantr (a fictional dating app), which Colin compared to Grindr – a well-known gay dating platform. Hilariously, nobody seemed to notice or care!
2. Ted's Dressing Rule
Despite the chaos Ted faces in later seasons of the show, he remains a very disciplined man. For example, he has a rule that a man must manage to get dressed while Phil Collins and Phillip Bailey's Easy Lover is playing. He demonstrates this while getting ready for Rebecca's father's funeral, dancing and swaying to the song in the process.
1. Roy Singing Along to Let It Go
While Rebecca surprised everyone with her powerful rendition of Let It Go from Frozen in season 1, it was Roy who melted the audience's hearts by singing along to the song. The reason for the collective 'aww' is simple – Roy has a niece, and his knowledge of the lyrics reveals how many times he must have watched the movie with her.
