* EarlyAdaptationWeirdness: This version of Ted Lasso is very different from the better known version of the character in the later TV series, as he's a straight up DrillSergeantNasty and UglyAmericanStereotype instead of AFatherToHisMen who respects British culture. Plus, this version actually ''likes'' tea.

Coach Ted Lasso is an advertising character conceived by Creator/{{NBC}} Sports to publicize their coverage of the UsefulNotes/EnglishPremierLeague. Ted Lasso, played by Creator/JasonSudeikis, is an American football coach hired to coach the Tottenham Hotspurs. The only problem? He's an ''[[UsefulNotes/AmericanFootball American]]'' [[UsefulNotes/AmericanFootball football]] coach, and knows nothing about that other football game the Americans call "soccer".
The main skits in the series are "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KeG_i8CWE8 An American Coach in London]]", released in 2013 and chronicling Lasso's brief foray into coaching, and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRqypM7jb5Y The Return of Coach Lasso]]", released in 2014 and chronicling Lasso's subsequent attempts at becoming a soccer pundit after his stint with Tottenham. NBC has also released various extra videos featuring the character.
Eventually, Sudeikis and collaborator Brendan Hunt developed a full-length television show out of Coach Lasso. ''Series/TedLasso'' premiered on Creator/AppleTVPlus in 2020.

!!Tropes:
* AccentInterest: Lasso considers the English accent of sports commentator Arlo White to be "golden, velvety, yummy".
* BritsLoveTea: Even though he only had a London job for less than a day, hardcore American Ted Lasso takes to tea in the aftermath. He even does high tea for the girl's soccer team.
* DrillSergeantNasty: Lasso yells insults at the team while doing drills. He then adopts that same attitude for the young girl's soccer team he winds up coaching afterwards.
* GlobalIgnorance: As part of the ignorant American stereotype Lasso fits to a tee:
-->'''Lasso:''' Wales? Is that another country?\\
'''Beard:''' Yes and no.
* IKnowMortalKombat: Lasso plays ''VideoGame/FIFASoccer'' to get some understanding of soccer rules.
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Lasso doesn't know anything about soccer, but confidently acts like he does.
-->'''Lasso:''' ''{screaming at ref}'' Will you explain to me how that was offside?! ...No, I'm asking you seriously, [[ThatOneRule explain offside to me]].
* NewscasterCameo: In "The Return of Coach Lasso", presenters Arlo White and Rebecca Lowe assist in the skit.
* PosterGalleryBedroom: Even though Lasso was very quickly fired from his coaching job in England, he made England his entire personality when he returned to the US, decorating his apartment with Britishisms like the Union Jack, teacups, "Keep Calm and" posters, and a framed soccer jersey.
* SoccerHatingAmericans: A lot of the humor is derived from how the American Ted Lasso, despite being hired to manage a high-ranking soccer team, can't be assed to learn the rules.
* UglyAmericanStereotype: As the main video proclaims, Lasso is an "American coach in London", and is rude, crude, and thinks he knows best, even though he doesn't actually know anything about the sport he was hired to teach.
