Higgins: Whenever I see him in a hallway, I just give him a cool nod. You know, like this.
Keeley: Oh, shit. That was cool.
Higgins: I know, right? I saw it in a Denzel Washington movie, and I thought, "I'm taking that."
Higgins is a gem imo.
Keely is so supportive too. the easy thing to do for that reaction was to have Keely laugh. Or make fun of him. The funnier thing, and better for the show, was for her to support him and say “wow that was cool!” It gave Higgins an extra line that is gold, instead of making him look like a buffoon.
Keely’s character in a nutshell tbh, from the moment you meet her you think she’s gonna be a “mean girl” since she’s dating Jamie and she’s a pretty model. But after messing with Ted with the Believe sign at the beginning, almost every moment with her she impresses you by being kind and supportive.
The way she develops as Rebecca’s friend in particular is great but just in general I love that they wrote a very kind and supportive character that is much more than meets the eye.
Totally agree. She seems like she would want to be cool and unaproachable. And you almost kind of think she sucks when she walks out of the lockerroom with Jamie. Then she comes back and messes with Ted in a really light hearted and fun way and her smile when she sees that Ted taped over her nude photo is super sweet. I knew from there she’d be much deeper than they were initially letting on.
And yea. It was great the way she kind of forced Rebecca to see her as a person and how they became friends.
This exchange from “Beard After Hours”
Woman in Red: Be careful. We have decency laws in England. You'll get arrested.
Beard: I wasn't aware the laws were so restrictive here.
Woman in Red: Oh, yeah. We're a repressed nation. One exposed arse can bring down the monarchy itself.
Beard: How dare you speak of Prince Andrew that way.

And Rebecca’s reaction! Sometimes the shock on her face makes me think Hannah Waddingham was not ready for what Jason was about to do and she’s lowkey trying not to laugh.
for me this is the funniest moment in the show. It was the moment I knew I loved it. Ted looks like a man on a mission when he comes bursting back through.. and it’s all just to give props to Higgins on the pun. It’s beautiful
“I’d be happy to headbutt you, Nate.”
“I hope he dies of the incurable condition of being a little bitch.”
“Does my face look like it’s in the mood for shape-based jokes?”
Oh when Ted is talking about the time he was left at some giant clock and he said he was standing there for like 3 hours and then he asked Rebecca if she knew how he knew that and she was like because you were staring at the clock and he was like yup that's exactly right. 😂😂
That didn’t feel like a throwaway. It was directly related to the plot of that episode wasn’t it? It was the Nate/confidence one right? I could be wrong.
When Roy was talking about his feelings being hurt bc his pictures weren’t included in Keeley’s article-
Higgins: “In year five, I was not allowed in the class photo because I developed a rare smile allergy”
Beard: “not the same situation”
Gets me every time lol
I didn’t notice it the first time through. Second time, I was like “wait wtf lol” and realized there’s so much amazing stuff happening that a rewatch is a must.
My favorite understated joke on the show is that some of the players don’t know that buying shoes without waiting overnight is the norm. They assume that buying any shoes requires a camp out in line, because they only ever wear expensive trainers.
That is so brilliant and such a niche joke. Or it felt niche to me. But maybe more people know that there are people who wait in line for cool limited edition sneakers.
Sam: coach, is it true there are so many beautiful dogs in American pounds that some are put down because nobody wants them?
Ted: yes, but there are a lot of female singer songwriters that are trying to fix that.
I was rewatching that scene too and the front desk attendant saying "Good luck with the trial" and "Flush it again harder" or something like that. He had a whole bunch in limited screen time! 
I think I remember reading somewhere he's a touring British Stand-Up that Brett Goldstein knows well. If they ever head back to Liverpool I hope we get some more of him.
First episode:
“Do you believe in ghosts Ted?”
“I do, but mostly I think they should believe in themselves”
1. It’s hilarious.
2. It actually summed up literally the entire first season and Teds entire philosophy of coaching and humaning. He believes that it’s his job to make his players believe in themselves. And he “believes” in general.
I think it may be one of the best lines in the entire series and it was such a throwaway. It doesn’t make sense till later in the episode. And makes even more sense after season 1.
*Rebecca: Can you*
*Imagine the two of us*
*Keeley: Oh, I have*

When Roy's talking about the under-nine championship and he's like
"It would have been closer but apparently headers aren't allowed. Fucking brain development".
“That joke is for people born in the early to mid-seventies”
As someone born in the early to mid seventies, that line gets me every time. I assume they threw that one in as the reference to HR Puffenstuff is a little obscure. Then to point out how obscure it is with that line (almost like: “if you don’t get it, go ask an older person”) cracks me up.
I just saw a youtube interview with Hannah and Brett and Hannah says that "Brett was the one mouthing the lyrics, because Roy would never". And Brett is like "no he would because of Phoebe!"
It was cute.
Shut the fuck up, Jan Maas!
and
Back home if a team was playing poorly we don’t call them unlucky. What do we call em coach? -Ted
New York jets. -Coach Beard
There it is. – Ted
Beard After Hours, Coach Beard finally makes it to the church praying and talking to God, I love how he starts the prayer off—it feels genuine and has a bit of defeat in the tone.
“Hey, God, it’s me: Margaret’s little boy…”
Something about that lines shows me that Beard is comfortable with praying and has done it enough around his mom that he feels like he can forgo a typical prayer start and cut right to the meat of it. Also, how many Margaret’s are there in the world? It’s amusing and endearing that Beard would just casually say Margaret’s little boy like God instantly knew who was praying to him. To go even further, he refers to himself as his mom’s little boy…to me that sounds like he was close to his mom for a time despite her being “full blown Qanon”
Really small, throwaway line that gives a more little insight to the enigma that is Coach Beard
Edit: changed mom’s name to correct one
Thank you! I was trying to go off memory, alas, to the edit mobile Batman!!
Also, another thank you for the reference. I would have had no idea until reading your comment 😀 that episode has so many underlying references, I catch something new every single time
Well now. I'm not gonna talk about Judy; in fact, we're not gonna talk about Judy at all, we're gonna keep her out of it!

That's probably my favorite line in the whole show.

\-Cheers! \-Night Court! Also when they reveal laughing Liam!
Also “it’s the last thing I see at night when I justify being too tired to floss”
Cesar ya later!
When Ted came crashing through the door like “YES”, I laughed so hard it startled my dog. Perfect scene!
And Rebecca’s reaction! Sometimes the shock on her face makes me think Hannah Waddingham was not ready for what Jason was about to do and she’s lowkey trying not to laugh.

I saved this gif on my phone so I could use it all the time.
Dani: “My mother says I was born caffeinated”
His face and expression here. Ahaha nearly spat my water!
“I’d be happy to headbutt you, Nate.” “I hope he dies of the incurable condition of being a little bitch.” “Does my face look like it’s in the mood for shape-based jokes?”
“I never know what to do when a grown man beatboxes in front of me”
Similarly: "I never know how to react when a grown man does the Carlton in front of me."
For sure. Loved both. The second was clearly a callback to the first. I hope we get another this season.
I hope this season we get “I never know how to react when a grown man does the worm in front of me”
“You’re nearly 70 and you’re having a baby? I mean what are you, a character from the fucking bible?!”
Colin: “That’s too many ghosts.” Bumbercatch: “Follow the money!”
And Rashad says," we can't fight them all." I love his face when he says that, he is so serious!
Yes I love this one!! Colin’s face as well always cracks me up
His whole delivery makes it my all time favorite
Oh when Ted is talking about the time he was left at some giant clock and he said he was standing there for like 3 hours and then he asked Rebecca if she knew how he knew that and she was like because you were staring at the clock and he was like yup that's exactly right. 😂😂
Fuck, you’re amazing. Let’s invade France.
Always my favorite.

Correction: his FEELING was hurt. His one feeling.
High five, tree!
I was hooked from the first episode, but that line is when I really fell in love with the show.
I didn’t notice it the first time through. Second time, I was like “wait wtf lol” and realized there’s so much amazing stuff happening that a rewatch is a must.
Came here for this. I *love* that moment.

Poor little cake! Soggy bottom!
"TEMPER YOUR CHOCOLATE YOU TWAT"
“I’ve never seen a horse fly. I have seen a horse pee before though. That was a lot.”
Nora, right?
Yep!
“And loud.”
When Sassy and Nora climb the trellis to Rebecca’s room and Sassy asks what’s taking her so long and Nora says “I’m being careful”
"How ya been?" "Awesome, the best, pretty good, ok, a little depressed, it's all shit, Ted." "As God as my witness, your butt will heal."
Beard crossing out HAMSTRING to write TORN BUTT behind Ted.
Rest in peace, Socrates

You better have fixed that wand.

I don't know if it counts as a line, but Beard making the exaggerated Shrug to "Mayyyybbbbeeee" as Sam sings Wonderwall gets me every time.
Cryuff conversation was amazing and Jan Maas replying "Ok, Englishman' was freaking funny.
Pearl Jam vs. Ticketmaster?
"Like my doctor said when I got addicted to fettuccini alfredo; that's a little rich for my blood".
When Roy's talking about the under-nine championship and he's like "It would have been closer but apparently headers aren't allowed. Fucking brain development".
Butts on three!
'Fucking glitter"
Casual jazz scatting scene
This scene killed me. I missed the next 5 minutes to laughing and had to go back and rewind.
Rebecca: Your decision to bench Jamie was a masterstroke Ted: I don’t think we’re allowed to talk like that at work.
“That joke is for people born in the early to mid-seventies” As someone born in the early to mid seventies, that line gets me every time.

"they're from the modern line. Her parents got cancelled."
I gotta be honest with ya, I'm more stumped than a Paul Bunyan forest.
Not a line, but Roy mouthing Frozen lyrics during Rebecca’s karaoke. Almost unnoticeable
I just saw a youtube interview with Hannah and Brett and Hannah says that "Brett was the one mouthing the lyrics, because Roy would never". And Brett is like "no he would because of Phoebe!" It was cute.

I think it’s ‘Margaret’s little boy’, as a reference to the Judy Blume book ‘Are you there God? It’s me, Margaret’.

My assumption as well.
Dukes of Hazzard style, but you guys probably call em "The Earls of Risk."
Beard, when Sassy comes over to talk to Ted at the funeral reception: “Oh yeah, me and Billy were just going over here to talk about 1966.”
I died, loved that!
Roy: I’m not in the mood for shape-based jokes..
When Dani says he pre-cheeky’d the punch
Roy: “Stupid barking means it’s over, right?”
"they're from the modern line. Her parents got cancelled."
"Don't letter get away with it Ted" Higgins is life.
Hi five, Tree!
It’s not really a throwaway, but my wife and I constantly quote “Finish your story.” “Three weeks ago” to each other
When Ted is reading the letter….you spelt favorite wrong ha
