The trailer for Ted, Seth MacFarlane’s new comedy, starts innocently enough with a meetcute between Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis. While a stereotypical rom-com “OMG-we’re-falling-in-love” song plays in the background, the couple discovers their love is “special” and stuff.
Then the titular “Ted” enters: a brought-to-life teddy bear who, with his foul mouth and stoner-bro attitude, is Wahlberg’s best friend. Language NSFW, but shouldn’t you be playing this video into your headphones anyway?
So, it’s a slightly smarter guy than his cartoon characters and a talking stuffed animal. As opposed to the talking dog or the talking alien. What will be in his next project – a talking plant or a talking car or maybe even a talking piece of furniture or a talking body part?

We get it, something talking that isn’t supposed to be able to talk is funny.

At least Seth Green will have something to work with when Peter and Chris do their banter shtick.

haha, all of yall are freaking trolls. just shut up and laugh.

I guess someone thought they could cash in on the success of Elijah Woods’ Wilbur . . . There was something else painfully obvious I noted from watching this trailer . . . Mark Wahlberg’s acting. You can see him doing it!
It’s like Spencer Tracy said: “Don’t let them catch you at it.”

Sounds like “the beaver” redux
