The Season 5 Ted Lasso Reference You Likely Missed

Ted Lasso's classic blue and yellow sign makes an appearance in the most appropriate context possible: In Evie's therapy group. In this environment, the sign's positive encouragement is obviously right at home, even though Evie herself seems to use the group largely for her usual emotional vampire antics — in other words, to complain about her ex (Colin, presumably) and to feed on the other group members' pity. 

The sign was already briefly visible in the trailer for "What We Do in the Shadows" Season 5, but now that we get some context about its placement in what appears to be an empowerment group for divorcees, some questions arise. The group is exactly the kind of environment that might use a replica of the iconic AFC Richmond sign if they knew about it. The thing is, how do they know about it? Does either Ted Lasso the man or "Ted Lasso" the show exist in the "What We Do in the Shadows" universe? It's unlikely that we'll ever find out the tale behind what almost certainly is a simple throwaway background gag, but this nice Easter egg is nevertheless a welcome surprise for fans lamenting that "Ted Lasso" Season 3 has ended.
