OMG. Did I just see Tracey Ullman's name pop up in the credits? Yes, please.
Coach Chilton's facial expressions should win an Emmy.
Last two shows I've obsessed about, this and Gilmore Girls, has a Chilton prominently in it. Now the Coach Chilton and of course Chilton High School. Hmm. Interesting.
Why would the goalie be the one whose name is Boots? She's the only one who can use other parts of her body, can use her hands, who doesn't have to use her boots. Is it supposed to be ironic? I doubt it.
Hey, Harry Potter is one of my blind spots too. It's why I can never go far enough in Trivia Crack.
Beard translating Harry Potter to Ferris Bueller is fantastic, even though Ferris Bueller is, of course, my least favorite of the John Hughes so-called classics.
Wait, are Coach Chilton and Beard gonna become a thing?
I'm assuming this time it's going to be different, but why on earth would Rebecca take any business advice of any sort, even in any remote way from Keely?
This being a British show, is Tracey Ullman's bit about don't be afraid to use your anger to fuel, you know, turn your anger into power. Is Clampdown by The Clash gonna be popping up in this episode?
Trent Crim seems to spend a lot of time thinking about teenage girls. Great. Creepy, Trent Crim, come on now.
Let's take a minute right now to remember Roy Kent's ridiculous haircut in the beginning of season two when he looked like a Muppet, like a lost Muppet in the street somewhere.
Okay, this whole, I'm gonna insist you date women so then you're ready to date me trope. It's so dumb. Sports Night, it was beyond dumb. I mean, if Aaron Sorkin can't even crack it, I'm sorry, Ted Lasso. This whole Keeley-Roy thing, I can't believe. I hate it. They've made me hate it even more now than I did 60 seconds ago. I fucking hate this so fucking much. This is so fucking dumb. I fucking hate it.
But the whole them insisting on keeping Higgins there throughout the scene is really funny.
I love Trent Crim's snide “which you didn't read” comment about his book to doctor Sharon.
Do we like the whole Greek chorus thing with Trent Crimm and the doctor? I kind of, I'm kind of not minding it. Maybe it's, I think it's just the charm of the show, and I love the characters. It's interesting though. I wonder if that's what they're doing.
Beard’s a fucking trivia genius. I can't believe he hasn't been on Jeopardy now that we're talking about it. For fuck's sake.
What kind of friend are you, Ted Lasso? Not to have Beard set up on Jeopardy.
What the fuck is this ridiculously hot bartender breaking Roy Kent's balls about all these dates? What do you care, sweetheart? And by the way, he's Roy Kent. He's a millionaire. He's probably gonna throw down a ton of cash at you. Play ball, sweetheart. You know what I'm saying? Let's swing, baby.
Oh, is Roy gonna fall in love with the bartender now? Uh-oh, Keeley, you done fucked up.
Keely the business genius gets a half ounce of pushback from Rebecca, and it's full steam out the door. Oh no. It's like when Charles Miner showed up and didn't love Jim Halpert immediately. Oof, rough one.
“Here's your four.” Now that's comedy gold.
Was this locker room scene where he goes running in with a bucket? Was Jason Sudeikis in the same room with these other actresses? Because the way it's cut, and I'm not an expert on this, but it seems obvious, especially when they show Sudeikis from the back, and it doesn't look like him. It seems obvious they're not even in the same room. I'm gonna have to look that up. I can't believe I would pick up on that, but interesting.
Hard time connecting with these players. They all look like one big blur together, other than the goalkeeper. Kind of stands out because of the shaved head. None of them really stand out physically, even on screen, in any way that differentiates them. I don't know if that's just me, but I guess we'll see.
Though, to be fair, and in my defense, to this day I still don't know which, don't know who's who on the Hickory fucking Huskers. So there you go.
Wait. May? This is a re-launch of trivia night? May hasn't had a pub trivia night going the whole time? She's in the middle of a Premier League team, all that buzz and excitement, and she hasn't had a pub quiz this whole time? Question: is May a shitty businesswoman?
Vatican City. That's the answer to number one.
Okay, Flying Coach is a great pub quiz name for the coaches.
Yeah, and I made a comment like this last week. I know I'm Mr. Woke McWokerson, but in 2026, I don't think a table of guys would just, like, verbally sexually assault women at a pub trivia quiz. It's just, come on. It's a bit on the nose for what you want, and it's a bit— it's just not believable. Come on. I mean, not believable is not the right word, but come on.
Agree with all of Coach Chilton's points about Ferris Bueller. I love, I love this woman.
Roy? Roy the bartender, I called it. You done fucked up, Kaylee.
I'm sorry. I just really fucking hate Kaylee. I hate her. Sorry. I know that. I know I'm a bad person. I know I'm wrong. I can't take it anymore.
Roy Kent is with a smoking hot doctor. Did Brett Goldstein write this episode? This is like Patrick Swayze in Roadhouse with Kelly, what's her name. Come on now, Roy Kent, you can't have all the hot women. I mean, you can have a lot of them, but you can't have all of them.
With maybe the worst hairstyle of her generation, this doctor is crazy hot. I mean, come on, Roy.
Yeah, great use of the iconic John Hughes movie, Chicka Chicka Bow Wow. Beautifully done, Ted Lasso.
I'm surprised it's taken Ted Lasso this long to do a Ted Hughes-based or centric episode. Interesting. Or maybe they have already. I can't remember.
Beard did look or seem like he was having a stroke. Why wouldn't Ted have gotten him to a hospital? I mean, sad to see about his girlfriend or whatever.
Great Richard Pryor, Gene Wilder moment breaking out of jail. Stir Crazy! We bad, we bad. Oh yes.
This doctor hates Roy Kent so much. Does she know him? You cannot hate somebody that much as a professional doctor and not have some history.
The coaches will take a ride though. That's hilarious. Awesome. After making the girls run.
Trent Cram and Dr. Sharon, that’s her name I got her name right, sorry. Their whole studio, their podcasting studio, is incredible. I'm so jealous. I love it. All that wood paneling. Oh, love it.
I think Dr. Sharon is in love with Trent Crimm, but I mean with that beautiful head of hair, I mean who wouldn't be? Well done, Trent Crimm.
