You forgot the one where Roy Kent describes how he’d get back at a bully. He goes on to say 4am is is the best time to attack as the victim is least likely to fight back.
He later goes on to train Jamie early at 4am.

At the end of season 2 and Nate rants at Ted, Nate is angry that The photo he gave Ted isn’t on display at the office …but when we see Ted preparing for the funeral in an earlier episode the photo is on the dresser Ted's apartment … a much more personal setting.

A small detail I noticed was the dissociative look Jamie gets when Ted shouts at him in s1 about practise. Jamie has that same look every time his father shouts at him.

You missed the best Cheers one. Jamie says Cheers, Ted says Night Court ! Cheers was followed by Night Court on US tv.

The princes bride is the “I’m forgot I’m left handed” and “ as you wish”

I loved Rebecca looking at all the old men and seeing little boys. I Her speech was perfect!!!

1. Colin being gay was referenced in Season 2 when he talks about Grindr when Keeley talks about Bantr
2. When She's like A Rainbow plays, you can see Higgins' wife dressed in Blue & Keeley dressed in Gold when the lyrics kick in about she's dressed in Blue/Gold respectively.
3. Ted reading Henry Marcus Rashford's book and Marcus himself is referenced in the show via Sam Obisanya at times and Jason Sudeikis himself took a stand for Marcus in real life when he faced abuse after the Euros.

Keeley in the brown and white polka dot dress and white hat gave me “Pretty Woman “ vibes. She was going to wear it to the polo match with Jack ❤TL

I also liked that the doctor who tended to Sharon when she was hit on her bike was Roy's sister. They made a pretty obvious nod in that episode where she was in the office and it immediately went to Roy at the parent teacher conference

[bruceniedt]

I love the scene where Ted explains to Roy what a Hallmark Christmas Movie is.

There are more Cheers references:

-The mystery couple in Season 2 turns out to be Sam and Rebecca (Ted Danson and Kirstie Alley's characters in Cheers).
-When the actor that played Coach died, they Cheers cast moved a picture of Geronimo that was in his dressing room to the bar wall on set, the last thing Sam does in the series finale is straighten the picture. The same print of Geronimo is on the wall in Mae's pub, and in the series finale she straightens it.

[texasstalemate]

A big one for me was Sam's dad, in an earlier season Sam says his dad pulls on his ear for good luck. When we meet his dad in s3 and Sam is upset, ola tugs his ears

[busylawbee]

Love Actually was directed by Richard Curtis who always has a character called Bernard in his films and TV shows. I wonder if calling Phoebe's bully Bernard was a further nod to Curtis in the cue card scene.

My fave is the shoutout to Hamilton in S2E01. In the pub, Ted asks Beard “Can I be real a second, forget my meal a second?” And Beard replies (in time to keep the original rhythm) “Put down your beer and tell your buddy how you feel a second?”

It riffs on the line sung by Washington in Right Hand Man: “Can I be real a second? For just a millisecond? Let down my guard and tell the people how I feel a second?”

[jimbillecreatives]

Anyone catch the pinball machine that Beard and Lasso were playing at the end of season 3 when Ted decides to return to the US? It was Wizard of Oz themed - as in Kansas - "there's no place like home". And I believe that the closing credits song was Diana Ross from The Wiz movie, titled Home. In the final game Ted is wearing red tennis shoes - ruby slippers reference? If this series is a reimagining of The Wizard of Oz, it seems appropriate that Rupert would represent the Wicked Witch of the West (Ham).

Quickly becoming one of the best made and written shows of all time, and deeper than any comedy ever. Hope it goes on forever! What a treasure.

Can we get a top 10, top 20 or even a top 50 most wholesome Ted lasso moments? The world could really use it

[Saucyminx]

One of my all time favourite shows, I laughed but oh did I cry. Part of me wishes we could've gotten more seasons but I'm glad it ended the way it did. It was perfect.

[agatheallard]

In S2 when Akufo tries to buy Sam, Higgins mentions a play he wrote with a similar situation (a billionaire trying to buy a player). When Rebecca asks him how it ends he says they go to a restaurant and find a piece of glass in their meal so they end up getting it for free. In S3 when Akufo returns and eats at Sam's restaurant he says that he found a piece of glass in his meal and asks Sam if it'll be on the house (and Sam says yes). It's only two lines of dialogue in different seasons but you gotta love the attention to detail.

I miss ted lasso so much. It was my Daily dose of wholesome
