Ted Lasso Season 4 Just Tried To Insert Itself Into A Legendary Cinematic Universe
['Ben Pearson']
/Film - Movie & TV News, Trailers, Interviews, & Reviews
The first thing we hear in "Ted Lasso" Season 4 is a repeated beeping that sounds like something a heart monitor would produce.
But we quickly realize that Ted (Jason Sudeikis), now an assistant manager at a Kansas City grocery store, is scanning items for a customer.
The reference isn't an accident: In "Ted Lasso," you can see the same logo on the packaging that's appeared in the Tarantino-verse.
The characters in "Ted Lasso" straight up do not make any sense in Tarantino's universe — they're too sweet, too cringe, too maudlin.
That the "Ted Lasso" Season 4 premiere has the gall to suggest that characters like Ted or Higgins (Jeremy Swift) belong in the same sphere as some of the best Quentin Tarantino characters – Hans Landa, O-Ren Ishii, Jules Winnfield, etc.
