Here’s the adults-only, audio NSFW version of the toned-down green band trailer for Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane’s feature debut Ted, which aired tonight during the boundary-pushing animated TV series. Mark Wahlberg plays a grown man who meets the woman of his dreams (Mila Kunis) but has to contend with his teddy bear who came to life as the result of a childhood wish. The Universal release is slated to open July 13.

so animated tv shows are constantly using movies for their weekly storylines…
…so I’m guessing Seth saw Wilfred and decided to use it for his big screen debut???
Seems an awful lot like WILFRED.
Whoa, whoa, whoa… Hang on just a sec, shills. I, too, like to think I’m open-minded about new ideas for what a “movie” is. “Jackass(es)”? Uh, nope. “Borat” (or any of his other shit, including his new “General” bullshit), nope, all shit. Now, Seth is a clever guy and he’s made his bones on TV with cartoon characters. But let’s not get too uppity thinking that this bigger “better” version of Seth’s characters are anything more than that – cartoons. This is pure crap. I would say that it’s a longshot that anyone would pay to see a “movie” like this, but then “Jackass” proved me wrong more than once. (Guess they know their audience after all.)
Mila, really? After “Black Swan”, this is your return to the big screen? With your Dad, Mark Wahlberg and a CGI teddy bear? Damn, girl. Somebody needs to have a chat with her agent/manager.
And though I think “Sparky Mark” is overrated as an actor, this is exactly the kind of depth he’s perfect for. Fart jokes, indeed.
RE: “Mila, really? After “Black Swan”, this is your return to the big screen? With your Dad, Mark Wahlberg and a CGI teddy bear? Damn, girl. Somebody needs to have a chat with her agent/manager.”
You are forgetting that her “return” was that masterpiece called FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS…. but since she has been a voice on The Family Guy since the mid 2000′s her starring in this film (which actually looks hilarious!) seems appropriate. Plus I’m fairly certain that her lines could not be any more ridiculous than they were in Swan.
The negativity of many of these comments is astonishing. Chill out, people – this is a terrific trailer, and if the movie can keep up this momentum, it will have an enormous opening weekend. I for one can’t wait to see it.
It’s actually a terrible trailer – what the hell is going on? Why does the teddy bear talk?
That is freaking great! Walhberg is really funny I hope this makes a trillion dollars.
Funny
What about recast Whalberg with Elijah Wood and call it Wilfred: The Movie?
I don’t begrudge Seth’s success, but I’m especially glad to see him moving outside the Sunday Fox Box. He needs new challenges, seeing as Family Guy’s freshness expired somewhere in season 6, American Dad was always a one-joke sitcom, and The Cleveland Show is, well, The Cleveland Show. At this point, he must be asking questions like how much money is enough?
He had better have enough money, once this movie comes out.
I will watch anything with Mila Kunis. Throw in a potty mouthed teddy bear and we’re talking movie greatness. This will do gangbusters.
Wow that was really funny. I’m definitely seeing this
this is the least funny trailer since Angela’s Ashes.
Finally, Seth brings his genius to the big screen! Damn damn DAMN why was I not one of the upwardly-mobile, well-paid Universal executives hand-picked to work on this picture! I’m going directly to Walmart to buy my tent to camp out in front of theater TOMORROW! Seth should clearly move his Emmys on the mantlepiece to the side to make room for awards season 2013! (ouch)
Hasn’t Wilford already done this?
*Wilfred
This is nothing like WILFRED. Ted’s character is real. Everyone can see him and interact with him. Wilfred was only real in the mind of one person. Ted is ruining Walberg’s character’s life. Wilfred is helping Wood’s character’s life. Ted is a CGI teddy bear. Wilfred is a man in a dog suit.
Get over this WILFRED comparison people. Every single movie out there can be compared to something that came before it. So enough of the smack-talking. You wanna-be movie mogels are just trying to impress us with your vast movie knowledge. Go see the movie, THEN be a critic.
@steve This comment should be on the front page. Actually, every page.
So another arrested development/failure to launch dude with a girlfriend that wants him to grow up but this time he has an X-rated Alf as a sidekick instead of a Judd Apatow troupe member. How did they ever miracle that one up? (Oh, right, the bong was a dead giveaway.)
Oh, and Harry Nilson and Bill Bixby are both turning over in their graves over the use of Daddy’s Song.
Not exactly the same….and I’m pretty sure that was sorta intentional. And besides nobody can do raunchy cartoon voiceover better than Seth.
Not even Trey Parker and Matt Stone, who can also seemingly each do only ten voices?
@ old – She’s 28 but comes across as much older, and he’s 40 going on 30 so it seems like a good match.
As for the movie, it looks awesome.
But he looks 50.
They had several trl versions and this sure is more like a green/redband mix. I loved more R-rated versions and I hope that the scenes end up in the movie as well. Great job.
The joke got old in a trailer. Can’t imagine this for two hours. But still think Seth is a genius.
Is the budget really still over $60? This looks like, at best, another Paul, or at worse, another Your Highness.
Awful. The joke is simply that it’s a teddy bear. Replace the bear with a slovenly friend saying that stuff and this movie doesn’t even get a whiff. But Hollywood’s brain-dead executives hear “filthy talking teddy bear” and it’s a high concept orgasm.
“the exact plot of the failed TV show “Wilfred”? ”
No. Wilfred is about a suicidal and delusional guy who sees his neighbor’s dog as a walking talking man in a dog suit. Everyone else sees a normal dog. I haven’t seen much more than the part of the first episode but the conceit is Elijah Wood is crazy and Wilfred is actually a dog, not a guy in a dog suit.
This is about a guy who had a wish come true and his teddy bear came to life and he’s living with Ted 27 years later as roommates and everyone else sees Ted as a walking talking teddy bear. They acknowledge that he is a teddy bear, watch the trailer, the women in the park acknowledge Ted is a teddy bear. Ted has a job. Ted is actually there, other people acknowledge that he is a teddy bear.
I don’t see any relation.
so this is what passes for entertainment these days? this is absolutely profane. i guess that’s the new “funny.”
Can’t wait for this!
Isn’t Marky Mark a sexy leading man with heart? I mean, that’s his brand right? How did Seth McFarlane successfully manage to make make him look inappropriate and sad? I think this finally cuts the bleeding edge on the “new” infantilized American male character. When you get to full-on-baby, we’ve come too far.
Is anyone in the business as strenuously unfunny as Mark Wahlberg?
i thought Wilfred was already on FX…
