At long last, Ted Lasso is back!
Well, sort of. But we have an airdate, which is better than nothing.
Apple TV+ announced the Emmy-winning show will return March 15. Thankfully, they’ve given us a little teaser to hold us over until then.
CNN reports that Ted Lasso will return with a storyline in which “the newly-promoted AFC Richmond faces ridicule as media predictions widely peg them as last in the Premier League.” New episodes will drop weekly each Wednesday.
The show of a kind-hearted American coach — played by Jason Sudeikis — who takes over a British soccer team has become a massive hit, due in part to the hilarious and optimistic Ted Lasso-isms. Sudeikis’ uncanny ability to turn the most absurd phrases into actual sound advice is pretty astonishing.
As we gear up for the next season, let’s look back at some of our favorites:
“Taking on a challenge is a lot like riding a horse, isn’t it? If you’re comfortable while you’re doing it, you’re probably doing it wrong.”
“You know what the happiest animal on Earth is? It’s a goldfish. You know why? It’s got a 10-second memory.”
“If the Internet has taught us anything, it’s that sometimes it’s easier to speak our minds anonymously.”
“If you care about someone, and you got a little love in your heart, there ain’t nothing you can’t get through together.”
“Your body is like day-old rice. If it ain’t warmed up properly, something real bad could happen.”
“I promise you there is something worse out there than being sad, and that’s being alone and being sad. Ain’t no one in this room alone.”
“Our goal is to go out like Willie Nelson — on a high!”
“If I didn’t have any confidence, I never would’ve worn pajamas to my prom and ended up in jail the rest of that night.”
“You know how they say that ‘youth is wasted on the young’? Well, I say don’t let the wisdom of age be wasted on you. I just came up with that. I feel pretty good about it.”
“What I can tell you is that with the exception of the wit and wisdom of Calvin and Hobbes, not much lasts forever.”
“You beating yourself up is like Woody Allen playing the clarinet. I don’t wanna hear it. All right?”
“There’s two buttons I never like to hit, alright? And that’s ‘panic’ and ‘snooze.'”
“Like I always say, sometimes the best stew is the one you leave sitting on the stove overnight ’cause you fell asleep watching Citizen Kane after too many beers.”
“You say impossible, but all I hear is ‘I’m possible.'”
