I’m interested in how UK and USA audiences might have reacted to Ted Lasso differently and I feel like the amount of fucks said might have led to a different amount of fucks given.

    No, because they stuck with curse words that are familiar to US audiences (fuck) instead of actual British curse words. For instance, I don’t recall the use of the c-word which would have been on point.

    Twat has seeped into my vernacular due to this show.

      Yeah, cunt might be the only word that an American audience would have trouble with, which I think is why it was left out. It’s not typically used in a cheeky or fun way here.

        Only place in the US that is fine with that word is Massachusetts right? Or am I just projecting a certain freckled comedian’s verbiage to an entire state lol

      This is the right answer. If they had the fans speak like real English fans the show would never get to air.

      I don’t mind it in general but I didn’t like that >!they had the fan that Isaac attacked use f*****!<, when I feel like there are 5 or 6 other slurs that are more likely in the Uk. But then I’m not a football fan and I don’t hang out with homophobes so I might well be wrong!
