Soak Up Some ‘Ted Lasso’ Joy As Season Two Premiere Accomplishes Rarest Of Feats: Uniting The Internet

The success of Ted Lasso is one of the more surprising television stories of the last few years. That’s a kind way of saying that my big dumb brain was very wrong about the show and its potential.

You see, I’ve been a Premier League fan for quite some time now — played soccer my whole life (snobs who want to crawl up my ass about calling it football, get a hobby, because I use whatever term is best suited for the audience in writing for, which, in this case, is an American one) — so I remember the original Ted Lasso commercials on NBC Sports. They were funny, but they were also shticky: you simply couldn’t imagine the concept being stretched into an entire television series.

Then, when the first trailer for season one dropped — which came at a time that Jason Sudeikis’ career was in the midst of a rut — I specifically remember thinking how awful it looked. As a genuine soccer fan, I legitimately thought the series was going to hurt the game’s brand. What an idiot I was.

Over the course of 2020, particularly as people found themselves in need of something uplifting, Ted Lasso‘s reputation grew like a tidal wave, eventually crashing on the shores of the pop-cultural consciousness and dragging everyone back to its sea of kindness with it. The series racked up 20 Emmy nominations, the most-ever for a freshman comedy, and turned Sudeikis back into the star he was during the first half of the previous decade.

Now that the series is such a massive hit, the premiere of season two is a far bigger deal than the debut of season one, with fans of the series taking to Twitter to celebrate its release.
