- Bizarro Episode: Billed as a "very special episode", "Wide World of Wales" has little to do with Wrexham (or football for that matter), consisting of a Horrible Histories-style potted history of Wales, a feature on sheep farming, a cookery segment with Maxine the Welsh-language translator and a chat show segment in which special guest Charlotte Church sings a couple of Welsh songs. The only sports content comes courtesy of Rob and Ryan doing a spoof Sports Center report on their top ten plays from recent Wrexham games.
- Heartwarming in Hindsight: Ryan and Rob launched a "Lead From the Rear" campaign to encourage men to get regular colonoscopies after Michael "Scoot" Hett, a Wrexham supporter and colon cancer suvivor, was featured in the documentary.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: Ted Lasso is about an outsider who comes to the UK and a struggling football club and helps turn things around both professionally and personally. Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are two outsiders who come to the UK and a struggling football club and help turn things around both professionally and personally. Both versions also include a trip to a cup match at Wembley note (with "the guy from that show" making an appearance at Wrexham's match).
- Values Resonance: Part of the appeal of the club and the show is the story of rejuvenation, not only of the dilapidated club but the struggling town itself - a story familiar to many Americans across the Rust Belt.
