10 LowKey Villains On Ted Lasso

10 Low-Key Villains On Ted Lasso

Though most of the characters on Ted Lasso are good people, there are quite a few that are also low-key villainous in their behavior.

Ted Lasso is a show that has gained a reputation for being full of good people doing good things for one another, making it the perfect feel-good sitcom. There are very few straightforwardly bad or villainous people in this universe, though the characters do, on occasion, do things that they probably shouldn’t.

However, there are several characters that, when looked at in a certain light, do come close to being bad guys, occupying a strange and liminal space that could usefully be considered “low-key villainous.” Some of the characters change and develop, and others stick to their bad ways.

10 Nate

When the series begins, Nate seems to be a very nice guy, if more submissive than he probably should be.

Even very early on in the series, however, Nate showed that he had the capacity to be a low-key villain, as when he insulted Rebecca when he thought she was going to fire him, or when he said some very harsh and nasty things to the members of the team. It’s thus not a surprise that he got steadily more sinister as the second season wore on, even if he also revealed how smart he is.

9 Nate’s Father

Of course, no one emerges out of a vacuum, and that’s as true for Nate as it is for anyone else. Though he doesn’t appear in too many episodes, it’s clear that Nate’s father has a difficult relationship with his son.

More darkly, he is almost pathologically unwilling to give Nate even the faintest sign of appreciation or recognition of what he’s managed to accomplish, which in turn allows his son to build up a sour resentment that eventually gets directed at Ted himself.

8 Rebecca

Rebecca’s low-key evil tendencies were very much in evidence throughout the first season, as she went out of her way to sabotage everything that Ted sought to do.

Her only motive was to destroy the football club that was so important to her ex-husband, and while her bitterness was understandable, it was still villainous of her to do things that would hurt not only Ted but also the many members of the team that relied upon it for their livelihoods. Fortunately, her relationship with Sam, one of the best in Ted Lasso, did a great deal to redeem her character.

7 Rupert

Rupert is one of those people who manages to be both incredibly villainous and yet also insidiously charming. Any time he appears, he seems to cast a spell over everyone who appears, and not just because he clearly has a lot of money and isn’t afraid to throw it around. He also knows that he can influence people and, ultimately, that includes Nate, who he manages to snare in his effort to rebuild his football brand.

Only his seemingly genuine love for his new wife and child keep him from being a straight-up bad guy.

6 Jamie Tartt

Jamie Tartt is an exceptionally talented football player, and he relishes his position. What’s more, he also knows that he is an attractive man and that he can have any woman that he wants.

His arrogance and conceitedness make him appear to be an antagonist, particularly when these character traits are juxtaposed to his nemesis Roy Kent, who has a moral certitude and a conscience that Jamie often seems to lack (at least until near the end of the second season). But regardless of his bad behavior, he also happens to be one of the show’s funniest characters.

5 James Tartt

As with Nate, a great deal of Jamie’s unpleasantness is, in part, a response to his father’s mistreatment of him, and James Tartt comes very close to being a true villain.

He verbally abuses his son for what he perceives as his shortcomings, even as he shows himself very willing to take advantage of the perks that come with being the son of one of the best players on the team. Thankfully, he doesn’t appear that much on the series.

4 Edwin Akufo

Edwin Akufo is a billionaire from Ghana who comes to the UK to try to sway Sam to join his football team. At first, he doesn’t seem particularly villainous, except that he is very willing to splash his money around in ways that become ever more insistent.

When Sam declines his offer, however, he shows that he’s been a fake nice guy all along, not just insulting Sam, but also threatening to destroy his village and make sure that his future as a player is as difficult as he can possibly make it.

3 Jan Maas

Jan Maas is one of the more amusing members of the time, largely because he’s seemingly unable to not tell the truth, even if that might be unpleasant for another person to hear. There are times, however, when his truthfulness gets in the way of his relationship with the rest of the team, and it sometimes seems as if he is deliberately trying to be cruel.

It’s not that Jan is a bad person, but he’s one of those people that seems to not recognize when they are hurting other people’s feelings (and to not especially care that they are doing so).

2 Dr. Sharon

From the moment that she appears, Dr. Sharon has a thorny relationship with Ted, who sees her entire profession as a waste of time. For her part, she doesn’t go out of her way to make him feel comfortable either, at least not until the second season.

Even after they develop a strong bond and a strange sort of friendship, she tries to leave him with just a letter rather than an in-person goodbye. She isn’t straight-up awful, but her surprising lack of empathy isn’t a great look for her.

1 Trent Crimm

Trent Crimm is one of the journalists who routinely needles Ted as he settles into his position as coach. He has his own code of ethics that he lives by, but this leads him to do some low-key villainous things, including publish a story about Ted’s panic attack (even if he does tell Ted who the leak was).

He’s the type of person that will never let anything, even his personal feelings, get in the way of his duty to his profession and to his readers.
