Ted	comment	Ted is a 2012 comedy film directed, co-written and co-produced by Seth MacFarlane and stars himself, Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis, and is MacFarlane's directorial debut. It focuses on John Bennett (Wahlberg), a little boy who receives a teddy bear as a gift and wishes for him to come to life. As luck would have it, his wish is granted on a falling star, and the bear, aptly named Ted (voiced by MacFarlane), does in fact gain sentience and grows up alongside John as his best friend. 27 years later, they're still together as roommates and still somewhat on the immature slacker side. This is a problem for John's girlfriend Lori Collins (Kunis), who feels that Ted is a poor influence on John, while Ted feels she's going to come between their friendship...He's right, of course. That's what women do in these romantic comedies with foul-mouthed wastrel teddy bears.A sequel, Ted 2, was released on June 26, 2015. A prequel series on Peacock was released on January 11th, 2024 with MacFarlane returning as writer, co-showrunner, executive producer, director, and the voice of Ted.

Donny may be a bad guy, but even he, of all people, knows you should never swear in front of children.

In this film, both Ted and Lori do worry about how the other is effecting John's life and happiness but the two of them are friends and they do get along. it paints a more Grey-and-Gray Morality look at the situation as they both genuinely care for John but are both capable of having toxic effects on him as Lori constantly wants to change John while Ted is capable of preventing him from changing his future and Manchild routine.

Adam Sandler plays a guy and his sister and it's just— awful. It's unwatchable. But they're hookers, so it's fine." The narration claims that the stupid, evil child Robert grew up to be Taylor Lautner (even though the film takes place in 2012). Ted has a diatribe where he calls women from Boston fat, stupid sluts. "Whether you're Corey Feldman, Frankie Muniz or Justin Bieber, eventually, nobody gives a shit." During John's horrible performance of a song for Lori, Ted remarks that it's still a better performance than Katy Perry. One of the shows that Ted and John watch while high is SpongeBob SquarePants.

Sam Jones attempts to restart his actor career and moves into a studio apartment he shares with Brandon Routh, who starred in Superman Returns, or as the narrator calls it the "god-awful Superman movie". Lori's boss, Rex, gives up his pursuit on her and falls into a depression, later dying of Lou Gehrig's disease. Donny gets arrested by the Boston Police Department for kidnapping Ted. However, they are forced to release him after realizing how ridiculous and unrealistic the situation is, all because Ted is still a plush toy. As for Robert, Donny's son, he hires a personal trainer, loses a significant amount of weight and goes on to become Taylor Lautner.

Ted / int_e34400ab	comment	Ambiguously Gay: Played for Laughs with Guy, where he texted someone asking them to beat him up and thanking them, which John interprets as homoerotic and Guy also agrees with in a noncommittal fashion.

Ted / int_fe0330fb	type	Brick Joke
Ted / int_fe0330fb	comment	Brick Joke: The "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue states that Rex died of Lou Gehrig's disease. Earlier in the film, John says to Rex that he hopes he gets Lou Gehrig's disease. At the beginning of the movie, John suggests that Guy is part of a "gay beat-up club", to which Guy says, "Yeah, maybe I'm gay or whatever, I don't really know". Later in the movie, at Ted's party, Guy shows up and introduces his new boyfriend. After sort-of chewing out the late-to-work John, John's boss mentions (as evidence of his success) being a personal acquaintance of Tom Skerritt. At the end, he is seen with Skerritt at John and Lori's wedding. Then Skerritt whispers, "My daughter had better still be alive, you sick son of a bitch" to him.
