The last time we looked at the greatest quotes from Ted Lasso, Barack Obama was President, and Coach Lasso only existed as a promo for NBC Sports’ brand-new rights to air English Premiere League matches in the United States. In 2013, Jason Sudeikis portrayed an American hired to coach Tottenham Hotspurs, alongside his trusty assistant Coach Beard (Brendan Hunt). Some of the quotes from Lasso 1.0 made it into the Apple+ TV series two administrations later, at least in spirit: “How many countries are in this country?” “I think I literally have a better understanding of who killed Kennedy than what is offside… It was the mob.” “Ties and no playoffs? Why do you even do this?”
But thankfully, Sudeikis and his fellow writers recognized the buffoon from the ads was too one-dimensional to carry a whole TV show on his back, and the world got its hero it didn’t know it needed in Lasso 2.0, the kind, emotionally intelligent coach of Richmond FC, along with a brilliant cast of characters surrounding him. He’s still the same fish out of water, but the wit is filled with much more wisdom this time around. Here are our favorite quotes from the first two seasons of Ted Lasso.
