MOVIE TRAILERS
First Red Band Trailer for Seth MacFarlane's 'Ted' with Mark Wahlberg

"Put it on my fuzzy finger!" Universal has finally unveiled the first official trailer for Seth MacFarlane's Ted, the "Family Guy" creator's first feature film, that was written, produced and directed by Seth. Mark Wahlberg stars as a guy whose best friend is a teddy bear come-to-life after a childhood wish left him real. The story follows his relationship with Mila Kunis, and how Ted gets in the way, and how Ted is pretty much just a lewd, pot-smoking, chauvinistic piece of stuffed fur. This is a weird trailer and I might've liked it more if Ted didn't sound and act exactly like Peter Griffin again. Change up the voices, Seth! Look funny?
Watch the first red band trailer for Seth MacFarlane's first movie Ted, in high def via Funny or Die:
A story centered on John (Wahlberg) and his teddy bear, who comes to life as a result of a childhood wish.
"Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane brings his boundary-pushing brand of humor to the big screen for the first time as writer, director and voice star of Ted. In this original new comedy, he tells the story of John Bennett, a grown man who must deal with the cherished teddy bear (created with computer animation) who came to life as the result of a wish and has refused to leave his side. Patrick Warburton, Giovanni Ribisi, Joel McHale, Laura Vandervoort and more also star in this. Ted lands in theaters everywhere on July 13th.

I got Ted sounding like a combination of Peter and Brian. Kinda makes sense to me considering it's a New England accent and, since it's Mark Wahlberg, I just assume the movie involves Boston somehow.

How can you "maybe" this? Pissed my pants the whole time. Peter Griffin in a bear! AWESOME! Beats the shit out of some murderous hobo-shaman being re-incarnated in a doll!

You're right, but I'm not saying "No." I'm saying "Maybe." Trailer cracked me up, but I can count on 10 fingers how many movie trailers looked great, or made me laugh in the last 8 months and then went to see the movie and was disappointed. Maybe, but not no. 😉

I was more impressed by Wahlburg's ability to rattle off 40 names than the actual trailer. Love Family Guy though, so I'll give it a chance.

It is real. MacFarlane has since put a link to youtube via his twitter for the same red band trailer. I too was most impressed by the 40+ white trash names.. And it was definatelly Peter + Brian voices. That and the Thunder song will probably do it for me.

You do realize that he was staring at a CG bear, right? Which is added post-shoot, right? Overtop a cheat sheet, maybe? Yeah... Not so impressive anymore.

I just wonder if the bear or Mark Wahlberg gets knocked out some how if they're gonna land in the trademark family guy way. That would be hilarious.

Remind me of a supernatural episode where the teddy bear came to life too.

maybe, i did like how mark wahlberg was able to spit out 40+ names in what seemed like less than 30 seconds. The song got me going too.

Pretty much a rip off of the show Wilfred on FX.
SS on Apr 2, 2012

but so much better if anything seth handeled the concept way better

And Wilfred on FX is a remake of the original Wilfred that was on SBS in Australia. Just because its not a completely original idea, doesn't immediately make it a bad one.

How can people not find this funny!? I think if you can't at least laugh at the ridiculousness of this trailer, you either don't have a sense of humour, or you take life way too seriously.

Tammylynn! FUCK! haha omfg yes

This got me laughing hard, i am excited for some Mcfarlane fun and i find the voice to be suitable for this kind of character.

Wow, a children's toy being profane as the entire basis for a movie. Gee, I've never seen this done before. How original. Someone pinch me, I can't stop laughing. Bueller? Bueller?

I think Mark does a KICK ass job in comedies, the humor of McFarlane is going to make this great and also Mila is super cute.

In it for Whalberg.

I love how my comment was removed because it contained the F word on a page where you can watch a video that contains the same word about 15 times.

just because a fake bear has a potty mouth doesn't mean we have to as well. Ok? Ok.

Fucking A! Right!

You answered yourself...weird. And my original post only used the F word in describing my thoughts on how they've used it too much in the trailer...I don't think They need to use it to be funny, unlike some other films, that's whats kind of sad about it.
David Carlin on Apr 4, 2012

it isn't awful - but mila kunis and marc walhberg could do MUCH better than this movie.
beevis on Apr 2, 2012

I think most actors take these roles in order to take a break from serious films.
Xerxexx on Apr 2, 2012

well, that would definitely explain this.........
beevis on Apr 2, 2012

indeed.
Xerxexx on Apr 2, 2012

well, "the happening" was just an awful film......but, other than that - this looks like the worst.

Would've been so much cooler if it was an actually puppet bear and not CG.
Thisisstillmore on Apr 2, 2012

I agree, but I've gotta be honest. Most of the shots with Ted sitting or not moving a whole lot, looked damn realistic. Almost photo-realistic.
Aj Meadows on Apr 4, 2012

Walhberg? Isn't he the guy who beat up a poor old Asian man?
Christopher Batty on Apr 2, 2012

Yep, he was quite a dick when he was younger.

Gotta admit I laughed at this one. Expecting another shitty comedy, but this is actually funny. Mark n Teddy/Seth have great chemistry and the jokes aren't over-the-top. Might go see this after all.

Gods that was terrible. Like something a 12-year-old wrote. I guess that's the audience?

Can someone tell me the name of the song at the beginning? when they are meeting?
Nágato Auditore on Apr 6, 2012

Nope - some funny ideas in here - but a stream of profanity is not a substitute for humor.
