If you’ve been patiently waiting for a FAMILY GUY movie (which seem inevitable), this ain’t it, but the show’s creator Seth MacFarlane is helming this adult comedy starring Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis. TED focuses on the relationship of Wahlberg and Kunis’ characters, and Wahlberg’s lifelong friend, a talking teddy bear voiced by MacFarlane. Check out the cuss-filled NSFW trailer below. I laughed at more than a few bits, but I’m also a big FAMILY GUY fan, so there’s that. And the “Okay, alright, so that’s where we’ll draw the line” bit is almost John Candy-like, which is definitely a good thing. Tell us your thoughts in the comments.
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 the live action/CG-animated comedy, he tells the story of John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg), a grown man who must deal with the cherished teddy bear who came to life as the result of a childhood wish…and has refused to leave his side ever since.
