Apple Sends 50 Boxes of 'Ted Lasso' Biscuits to Wrexham AFC Soccer Club Owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney

[MacRumors]

In a recent episode of Apple TV+ series "Ted Lasso," Jeremy Swift's character Higgins briefly poked fun at actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney purchasing Welsh soccer club Wrexham AFC last year.

That led Reynolds and McElhenney to respond on Twitter with a humorous letter teasing legal action unless Apple sent over two large boxes of Ted Lasso biscuits.

Wrexham AFC today confirmed that Apple has followed through, sending 50 boxes of the famous Ted Lasso biscuits to players.

In the TV series, titular character Ted Lasso won over AFC Richmond owner Rebecca Welton by giving her shortbread biscuits every day, which he baked himself.

The second season of "Ted Lasso" is currently streaming on Apple TV+. Six episodes have aired so far, with a new episode coming each Friday.

Inexpensive publicity

"P.s, tell Colin, mae'r ddraig Gymreig yn gryf ynddo!"

Who in here willing to paraphrase?

 

[citysnaps]

Apple stepping up. Again!

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Whatever it takes to get free publicity and attention, right?

Should have giveaway free Apple shirts and pins!

I like it when cast and crew of a show or movie have fun with it in the real world. It shows they like and care about what they’re doing. Which often shows up on screen. In the quality of their work.

It’s Welsh. It means something like “the welsh dragon is strong therein”

It reminds me of when Ted asked: "How many countries are in this country?"

 

[CostaMoses]

I think it's fun and way better than a typical advertisement.

 

[vagos]

This is huge news. My faith in apple has been restored.

 

[sw1tcher]

Okay, what's a Ted Lasso biscuit?

 

[dogslobber]

Wrexham's second biggest claim to fame right after knocking Oporto out of the ECWC in October 1984.

This is huge news. My faith in apple has been restored.

Maybe Apple should send biscuits to Epic, Spotify, India, the EU, and select United States Senators...

 

[chabig]

Okay, what's a Ted Lasso biscuit?

It’s shortbread.

 

[Will Tisdale 🎗]

I’m sure Apple is now entirely bankrupt due to their provision of biscuits. How much does Macrumours[sic] get paid for these articles?

 

[Doctor Q]

This probably set a record for how fast Apple Legal could resolve a major dispute.

 

[Nicky G]

I saw this coming. Great PR. I wonder who came up with this, and whether it was internal or an agency.

 

[thadoggfather]

so they do.

This season has kinda overstayed its welcome so far imo

<Humor> Hmmm. Did Apple fire all its lawyers and decide just to settle out of court from now on? First, settling with Japan, then the App Store class action, and now this! 😀 </humor>

Apple…courageous as always. Thanks, Timmah!

 

[uptownnyc]

Nice to see these guys finally catch a break.

 

[Freeangel1]

oh boy!
Load up on that bread and highly processed HIGH CARB MEAL.
Not Lean protein like one should be eating.
It's why the USA has a diabetes epidemic.
They keep pushing SUGAR and HIGH CARBS.

Then stop watching it. Glad I was able to help.

For my wife and I we look forward to Ted Lasso night each Friday and are amused by this fun banter between creative teams. I like that in this mad world not everything and everyone needs to be negative and cynical. It is a nice break.

I'll do as I please -- thanks for your insight though.

Don't let me rain on your parade of a good tv night with the wife though, that sounds genuinely sweet, and I enjoy a good watch with my lady myself.

Anyways:

I appreciated the warmth of season 1, season 2 seems... saccharine though. There is such a thing as overdoing it and I think they went there. The mid season xmas episode especially was a big roll eye for me.

I guess what I mean to say is season 1 >>> 2 so far.

I like Jason Sudeikis enough and it does have some good moments enough that I'll continue watching, and also out of curiosity out of what makes people rave about this show in addition to a lack of stuff to watch in general - but none of this on account of needing your consent or anything lol.

I found this pretty funny too. Though I never suspected he was CGI myself, his character is absurdly stiff beyond the intended comic relief even perhaps.

Totally real actor who plays Roy Kent responds to conspiracy theory that he is CGI

Those are some PlayStation 6 graphics right there.
