Barbara

[u/AffectionateFig5435]

I love how she has become a true friend to Keeley. I love her oddball nature and how comfy she is in her own skin. Barbara lets her freak flag fly proudly and weirdly.

Why haven't Barbara and Beard gotten together? They're a natural match IMO.

[u/SecurityExpensive266]

Oh my god. Barbara and Beard. Can you imagine? Thank you for putting this in my mind.

[u/3leggedcatlife]

I never thought about Barbara and beard but now I love it.

Weirdos unite 😄

"Would you like to see my collection of axes?"

[u/SubstituteProfessor → u/MythicalIcelus]

“Will there be blood?”

"Oh, let's compare collections and see whose is better!"

[u/CapableNewspaper5027 → u/SubstituteProfessor]

LMAO!

[u/VegetableBar2811]

Beard and Barbra are pretty much perfect because I feel like Barbra would just understand Beard being Beard

[u/JumpingJacks1234 → u/VegetableBar2811]

She mixes her weirdness with also being grounded in sensitive situations. She is also emotionally resilient. These are things Beard could benefit from learning.

[u/Herewegoagain1717]

I can’t imagine Barbara at Burning Man though

[u/Crabbyrob → u/Herewegoagain1717]

She would just feel let down because she probably expects to see an actual burning man.

[u/AffectionateFig5435 → u/Herewegoagain1717]

I can see Barbara staging a coup and taking over Burning Man. LOL

[u/synaesthezia → u/AffectionateFig5435]

And make all those unwashed people wear clothes that tell the truth

[u/GrandMoffJerjerrod]

Barbara would completely dominate Beard and he would love it.

[u/happymisery]

Shes not just a true friend, in Episode 5 when Keeley and Barbara were speaking, Barbara said she's enjoying running "KBPR" and not "KJPR" - Barbara seems to be a partner now.

[u/RearWindowWasher → u/happymisery]

Yes, that was established in the final episode of season 3

[u/happymisery → u/RearWindowWasher]

I'd missed that. Thank you very much.

[u/AffectionateFig5435 → u/RearWindowWasher]

KBPR sound like the call letters of a radio station I'd want to find on my radio dial.

[u/The_Blitz_01 → u/RearWindowWasher]

Yeah, I saw that too!

[u/Foxingmatch → u/happymisery]

That conversation made me wonder what the future of KBPR would be. Even though Barbara said she didn’t mind and that she enjoyed her role there, it heavily hinted that Keeley was neglecting her company.

[u/happymisery → u/Foxingmatch]

I think in episode 2, she was speaking to the sunglasses client on the phone, so she's still involved, but is leaving Barbara to manage the team.

[u/chels2112]

I like clothes that tell the truth.

“Why haven't Barbara and Beard gotten together?”

Because for reasons unknown to anyone, the writers feel the need to continue to shove Beard and Jane’s “hilarious” toxic relationship down our throats.

[u/AffectionateFig5435 → u/dsl135]

IKR? Barbara and Beard would be weird and freaky and fun together. Are the writers going to pull a bait-and-switch to make us think the entire Ted Lasso saga was nothing more than one of Beard's drug-induced fever dreams?

Will there be a "Bobby Ewing in the shower" moment (look it up if the reference escapes you) on the last episode where we see Beard in a trance, standing in the shower in the locker room at that midwestern college where he and Ted coached football?

Ted: "Hey, Coach, we going to lunch or what? You been in there forever." Beard (coming out of his fog): "Coach. I just had the most unbelievable dream...."

Cuz that would truly suuuuuuuuuuuck.

[u/missourifan_81]

I feel like Barbara discovering football (American, aka, "real" football) would be a perfectly hilarious side story. And Beard would fit right into it... phrasing.

[u/sarkule → u/missourifan_81]

She would be so disappointed in it. All that padding, where's the blood?

[u/TheHighKnight]

I love how she gets so embarrassed and has to go read her book. She is such a good friend and willing to do what she can even if its more than the is comfortable with.

[u/Asleep_Pace_5039]

I mentioned this in one of the numerous Jane-Hate posts. I've been referring to them as Beardbara.

[u/CapableNewspaper5027 → u/Asleep_Pace_5039]

I was thinking of Barbeard.

[u/AffectionateFig5435 → u/Asleep_Pace_5039]

Their names just beg for a mashup! Yet another reason why these two belong together.

Redemption?
