Overview

"Biscuits" is the second episode of the American sports comedy-drama television series Ted Lasso, based on the character played by Jason Sudeikis in a series of promos for NBC Sports' coverage of England's Premier League. The episode was written by Joe Kelly from a story by Brendan Hunt and Jason Sudeikis, and directed by Zach Braff. It was released on Apple TV+ on August 14, 2020, alongside "Pilot" and "Trent Crimm: The Independent". The series follows Ted Lasso, an American college football coach, who is unexpectedly recruited to coach a fictional English Premier League soccer team, AFC Richmond, despite having no experience coaching soccer. The team's owner, Rebecca Welton, hires Lasso hoping he will fail as a means of exacting revenge on the team's previous owner, her unfaithful ex-husband. In the episode, Ted's first days with the club prove to be far more difficult than it appeared, so he hopes to raise the club's esteem. The episode received positive reviews from critics, who praised Braff's directing, performances and character development. For his performance in the episode, Jeremy Swift was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series at the 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards. Additionally, Zach Braff received an Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series nomination. Plot Before heading to start his first day as coach, Ted (Jason Sudeikis) gives shortbread to Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham), intending to bring her biscuits every day, and though she claims to not be interested in the shortbread, she soon becomes obsessed with them. While training, Jamie (Phil Dunster) constantly bullies Sam (Toheeb Jimoh), forcing Roy (Brett Goldstein) to intervene to avoid conflict.

Notable quotes

“We need what we need. Judging ourselves doesn’t change it. Sometimes a hug and a cookie right now mean more than a grand gesture at some indeterminate point in the future.”
— Elizabeth Bear, Deriving Life (2019). Reprinted in Neil Clarke (ed.), The Best Science Fiction of the Year Volume 5, p. 136
“When we think of classic American desserts, we tend to imagine apple pie and ice cream. However, the most classic American dessert of all might be the chocolate chip cookie.”
— Homaro Cantu,
“There is no aroma quite so inviting as that of cookies baking, whether ginger or chocolate or caramel. And there is no snack quite so satisfying as two or three fresh-from-the-oven cookies with a cool glass of milk. Nor is there a gift quite so welcome as a lovingly wrapped package from home, brimming with cookies.”
— Betty Crocker,
“Here, take a cookie. I promise, by the time you're done eating it, you'll feel right as rain.”
— The Oracle, The Matrix (1999)
“Money can't buy you love, but it can get you some really good chocolate ginger biscuits.”
— Dylan Moran,
“"Kids and cookies are inseparable," my Granny Rom used to say. Like my mom, who often repeated that phrase, I certainly agree. Based on a lifetime of baking cookies—not to mention eating cookies—I would also like to add that cookies bring out the kid in all of us.”
— Irma S. Rombauer,
