Ted Lasso (2020) - Darts Scene

Everyone's gangster until Ted Lasso calmly and respectfully teaches you a life lesson.

This monologue can make you a better person. It’s an amazing , emotional scene.

I watch this almost every day. It makes me feel something that I can't describe.

I love how Rupert’s gaze drops as soon as Ted hits the first triple-20. He knows that Ted can put those darts wherever he wants and that he’s been played for an ass.

"Hey...Better manners when I am holding a dart...Please" The subtle expression change in Ted face, is amazing acting from Jason... you see that very brief moment of him getting angry, and Rupert expression going from smug to oh crap/fear in his eyes... to the perfect speech afterward speaks of not judging, but being curious. This scene is as Ted put it "barbecue sauce"

One of the best scenes I've ever seen in TV. The look on Rebecca's face when he mentioned his father and she clearly realized at that point she had totally misjudged him. So well acted by everyone.

This speech is also for the bar patrons, the citizens of Richmond, the players, Rebecca, and Trent Grimm. When Ted is talking about 'Be curious, not judgmental, he is basically talking to EVERYONE, not just Rupert. They all underestimated him.

Episode 8: We find out Ted lost his dad when he was only 16. Episode 3: Ted gave us this quote to Trent. “It ain’t always easy, but neither is growing up without someone believing in you.”

To have an unabashed, relentlessly positive show in this day and age seems like an impossibility. To have it be great seems even more impossible but here we are. This scene is perfect on so many levels. Can't wait for the next season!

I love how protective Ted is of Rebecca. It's got that Ron Swanson/Leslie Knope vibe.

This may be one of the best scenes in TV history 🤷🏽‍♂️

This scene is even more meaningful after S2E8. Holy hell.

This is not only one of the best scenes in this show, but one of the best scenes in television or film. Hats off to the writers, director, and especially to Jason Sudeikis for pulling this off. I'm on approximately my 18th watch. I'll check in again after watch #50

After watching this scene a couple of times, I’ve realized a few things: 1. Rupert and Bex are separated from everyone else, highlighting their smug attitudes compared to the rest of the pub. 2. Rupert and Bex are drinking from champagne glasses in the pub while everyone else has a bottle, again highlighting their arrogance. 3. Mae smiles as Ted gives his speech and is more excited when he wins than when Rupert prematurely claims victory. 4. Rupert doesn’t know more about football than the casual fan since Sam is a naturally gifted winger not an outside back. 5. Rupert puts on a show and when he’s defeated, claims the only win he can in his new younger wife, something that hints he uses people as a means to make himself look better.

Going back to season 1, all those little hints about Ted's father and how his passing shaped who he is today... stellar writing.

"Be curious, not judgemental." Words to live by.

Rebecca’s face when Ted mentions being 16 when his dad died gets me every time. She picked up on that one detail and saved it.

The most heart warming mic drop moment in television history

This scene is the most beautiful moment in the world for those of us who lost our dads at a young age and have always felt beaten down. Forced to learn the game of life on our own, with no one to save us. This is that happy moment we all dream of

He threw 1 dart and Rebecca knew. She knew that he was going to win. You can see it on her face! What an excellent show and cast!
