Ted is now streaming on Peacock.
Comedy has changed a lot since Ted debuted in cinemas 12 years ago. Beyond the shifting tides of culture and taste, the once-dominant genre’s theatrical fortunes have nosedived, with only a handful of celebrity-led projects making the cut each year. With big names like Adam Sandler, Melissa McCarthy, and Kevin Hart retreating to streaming, it’s easy to see how a prequel to one of the biggest comedy hits of all time would end up on Peacock. But that may be the only sign of Ted’s ability to change with the times. This throwback to the school days of John Bennett (Max Burkholder, inheriting the role originated by Mark Wahlberg) and his stuffed BFF (voiced by Seth MacFarlane) leans heavily on a tired premise: Yes, the cute teddy bear still says rude things.
Unfortunately not making the leap from film to series: Patrick Stewart. Thankfully, the Star Trek legend has handed the role of narrator-preoccupied-with-Apache-helicopters to his friend and X-Men nemesis, Ian McKellen. McKellen is vastly underused, only showing up in a handful of episodes – but when he’s around, he delivers some real zingers.
The jokes in Ted are much of what we’ve seen and heard before – outrage is the name of the game, and a lot of the humor is derived from the worn-out gag of a cute, cuddly teddy bear saying some truly awful stuff. There are punchlines about Jewish people, cannibalism, John Belushi, and even one joke you’ve definitely heard before in the Paul Rudd-Seann William Scott vehicle Role Models. Again, if you’ve watched Family Guy, you know what to expect, and that’s the biggest problem.

Ted is a welcome return to everyone’s favorite trash-talking teddy bear. A new ‘90s setting gives Seth MacFarlane room to take a satirical swing at our recent past. Unfortunately, it doesn’t bring much new to the table, and at just seven episodes, Ted falls short of mustering up the longevity of the kind of ‘90s sitcoms it’s clearly lampooning. Uns...
Ted is a Peacock show that follows the adventures of John Bennett and his talking teddy bear in the '90s. It's a nostalgic and raunchy comedy that fans of the films will enjoy, but it lacks originality and depth.
Jan 11, 2024 · Peacock's Ted Feels Like a Recycled Toy. Rendy Jones January 11, 2024. Tweet. Even my not-quite-millennial-not-quite-Zillenial self can find the humorous irony in the '90s-obsessed Seth MacFarlane blowing the dust off the prequel-series trend and letting his famous Bostonian foul-mouthed CG talking teddy bear, Ted, take a fuzzy stab at a ...

6/10. A Predictable, Enjoyable, Light-hearted Delight. pawanpunjabithewriter 27 July 2023. Ted has gained popularity in India due to its light and charming nature, earning a place on my watchlist for nearly a decade. Since it was leaving the OTT platform, I finally decided to indulge myself anticipating a great movie. It began promisingly.
