The Ted TV Show Is SHOCKINGLY Good 

what did you think of the Ted TV Show if you watched it 🤔

When Seth actually tries he can make good shows, I know he hasn’t worked on family guy for two decades but he’s really good at creating shows

Honestly amazing how they got Ted's CGI up to par with the movies

The CGI is SERIOUSLY great, especially for a tv show. I genuinely enjoyed the show a lot overall and would love to see a second season

Fun Fact: Ted is actually so popular in Japan, that when Ted 2 came out, they made a pg-12 version for kids and teens, and made Ted apologize for his use of profanity in a televised press conference.

I love how I’m more excited for a Ted tv series then any MCU project.

People seem to shit on Seth because of Family Guy's current state, but people don't realize he hasn't worked on the show for over 20 years. When it comes to projects he's actually passionate about (American Dad, The Orville, and Ted) he truly shines as a creator. I'm glad people are starting to recognize his talent!

I haven't really seen anything Ted before but this looks like the rare case of a TV adaptation of a movie actually succeeding its predecessors quality. I also love how Ted is just like a Teddy bear peter griffin, its delightful.

I loved the first season of the Ted tv series! The actors all did amazing work with their performances! It was so good to hear Seth Macfarlane for Ted again after all these years!!!

Ted and The Orville are both so good that it makes me hope Family Guy ends so Seth can have more time to make things he actually cares about

One of my favorite running gags of the show is Ted constantly tripping/stumbling over the stairs when he’s running. It happens 3 times in the first episode. It’s a small little detail that somehow cracks me up because of course there’s no friction happening between his steps. But what makes it work is his unfazed reaction. Like, he’s not angry or pissed when it happens. He just stumbles and continues, like he’s learned to live with this reoccurring issue due to him being a teddy bear and the camera shot just lingers on him stumbling and continuing. It’s a small little detail that I wasn’t expecting the creators to consider but adds humor to the practicality of a talking teddy bear in the real world.

My favourite piece of Ted trivia is still the fact that Eastern countries like Japan are just obsessed with the Ted movies and subsequently, the TV show. It might not seem that big a deal but there's something inherently heart-warming about seeing people from the East adoring something that was made in the West to the same degree the West just love anything that was made there, which in itself also feels like a rare event. I can't think of anything else that Western entertainment created that caused everyone from the East to go absolutely nuts over it.

The thing is Seth MacFarlene is capable of producing quality work when he’s passionate about it

That episode where John and Ted pretend to be their bully's absent dad to mess with him but then end up actually acting like he's their son was golden!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It's actually super interesting to see seth make another show other than family guy after a long time. It's even more shocking that it's actually good.

“I’ve always wanted to snort my ADHD meds with a teddy bear!” “Hey, if that’s a cry for help, you got the wrong guy! :D” the show has so many golden lines like that

This show feels like a breath of fresh air beyond belief, better than the movies personally.

I second the fact that his literal glass-eyed gaze helps accentuate the expressions in scenes where he's the focus, and not just for comedy. He's trying to figure out who he is right alongside his thunder buddy, and that gormless stare manages to capture the kind of vacant "i don't get it" glazed over expressions, the "oh crap" realizations of what he's doing, and the genuinely good ideas that spark in his head about how to move forward with only the movement of his eyebrows and his mouth.

Watched first two episodes and this show is super refreshing. Feels like I’m watching classic Family Guy again

I couldn’t stop laughing with my dad watching this. Big step up from Ted 2.

The CGI is obviously somewhat less detailed than the movies, but I think that’s honestly a benefit to the Ted lore. The more expensive movie CGI allows us to see a bit more of a grungy, dirty, and wore-down teddy bear. The CGI of the TV show has Ted more saturated and less detailed, but that works because this is many years before Ted starts living with adult Johnny in a dirty apartment as a wash-up. Just thought that was neat.

I’ve only watch the first 2 episodes but they’re really good. Felt really bad for the bully with no dad in episode 2 tho 😅

I bet you were tapping your fingers together in a supervillain manner when the verbalase thing came out to fit into your hazbin segment (insanely perfect timing i love it)

I feel a good reason the humor in this show works really well is that both Ted and John can BOTH be the straightman and comedic side to any exchange. Their conversations are so natural and both can say equally fucked up things- yet they dont feel interchangeable. IDK this is just a good show

One of my favorite jokes in the whole show was in the Halloween episode where Ted kept trying to warn Blair about the English teacher trying to sleep with her, then when he’s alone with the teacher it is revealed that he is actually trying to sleep with Ted and he has the big teddy bear suit. The subversion of expectations is one of the show’s strengths

I imagine the show being filmed on the Universal Studio lot helped them allocate the budget to Ted’s CG. Which is great, I don’t think this show would have worked if Ted barely appeared or looked cheap.

nah but verbalase popping up when u were describing the hazbin scene was uncalled for 💀

I’m surprised this actually works really well! Never thought the whole school concept could work with Ted. I’m glad it does and would be cool to see a Ted 3 movie!

6:20 $50,000 comparison right there

The best part about Ted is the fact that there isn’t a 3 minute long suspicious animation involving Ted and a beatboxer who happens to have a RU-vid channel.

7:02 no way XD

4:31 nah dude give Orville another chance. It’s actually an amazing show

This dude puts “uh” at the end of every sentence

I recently rewatched the movies just for the hell of it without knowing this was a thing. I can’t believe how funny this ended up being. It’s like Seth’s strength is shows or something.

I really thought he wasn’t gonna make a verbalase joke during the hazbin hotel part

This just goes to show that Seth McFarlane's true strength was always tv shows

I promise if you push through the first 3 episodes of the Orville you see what the show is really going for and Seth’s character is well written

0:06 Why did this make me burst out laughing. ITS JUST TED RUNNING DOWN THE STAIRS!!!

I have to say as someone first watched the movie at 9 years secretly from a loft and later watching the show just yesterday. Felt a lot of nostalgia and you can tell outside of the previous few family guy seasons, Seth is great with it.

I haven't watched the Ted show yet but I really hope that it becomes the 2nd Seth McFarlane show with "Bababooey" In it

Now that Mark is covering a slice of life show, now it's time for the long awaited Young Sheldon 4 hour deep dive video

I think The Orville drastically changed Seth's writing style for the better and I'm so glad, because this show is great. Blaire and Matty almost feel like examinations of characters from his older shows, but turned into something more complex.

I genuinely thoguht this was going to be a mini series, Im genuinely so happy and thankful that the episodes are almost an hour long! Even more thankful that the humor works, Ted looks better than he does in the movies, and the supporting cast is pretty dang good. (I really like Johnny's Mother and Cousin)

3:36 that crumple is really well done on Ted. It really is good animation.

A better comparison weirdly enough would be the Chucky Tv Show based on the horror icon Chucky from the “Child’s Play” movies as the series is a continued continuity from its first three films, it’s two odd ball experimental films and two DVD only released movies all helmed by director George Donald Mancini. Both shows in a sense dealing with entity normally that wouldn’t be real talking teddy bear and murderous children’s doll come to life. With the kids dealing with its existence in their life during an important time in their lives around high school. One taking place in the 90’s and the other modern day. Both shows using practical and other effects to bring these two to life. Chucky is a rather interesting show with possibly a lot of homework to understand some context with characters; with crew and cast from the previous movies returning for the show as even their family joining in its production and cast.

I understand your hazbin hotel comparison If a joke solely relies on excessive usage of swearing but does it almost all the time it loses its humor and impact from literally th first five minutes of the first episode It will be much better if they used it sparingly Or do what aqua teen hunger force did make some characters swear where it makes sense for them And make the other characters use their own fowl language like meat wad saying fart and acting like he is dropping f bombs Or is it in moments that's appropriate as stupid as it sounds I think it will work Also I was shocked at this part 7:01 Which actually made me laugh Because I did not laughed a single time both in hazbin hotel and helluva boss

i hope we get more ted, the first movie was great and the tv show has tons of ideas, i'd love to see the series go through more then just highschool, see the rest of their life before ted 1 and 2

I haven't checked out the show yet, but this is an encouraging reception. My one inherent gripe against it is that it's the main thing keeping Seth from working on more of The Orville, which only got better and better as time went on. The fact that he can take something as lowbrow as the Ted franchise and still turn out a decent product from it makes me more inclined to see it and hopeful that he'll keep doing other stuff, whether it's Orville or something else.

Just finished watching the first episode and it was honestly really good! The story, humor, acting, and animation was amazing and this show feels like a breath of fresh air for the Ted franchise! And keep in mind that this is just my thoughts on the first episode so I can tell this rest is gonna be just as good if not better! Can't wait to spend 6 more hours watching the others!

i think teenage johns actor did great, he matched Mark Wahlbergs accent and speech and manuerisms perfectly and was able to replicate the energy between him and Ted, i was happily surprised and satisfied with how fun it was too watch it.

Over the summer I visited Universal Studios Hollywood, and they mentioned the existence of this Ted show multiple times on the tram tour, with it having been filmed there. I bring this up because it was in stark contrast to how little we’d been publicly hearing about the show.

was NOT expecting the verbalase stray at 7:00

This and the Orville proves that when Seth Mcfarlane isn't contractually obligated to make a project(More Family Guy)and is passionate about the thing he's working on it shows he's still talented and not a hack

Character Arc for LS Mark

Ted being praised over hazbin hotel is not what I expected to see this year, but somehow... that was very fitting! lmao

Seth MacFamilyguy has done it again

"The first scene from the movie uhhhh" "I was really concerned this was gonna be a soulless cash grabuhhhh " "The jokes and humor that the movie already diduhhhh" "Not present in the filmuhhhhh"

When Beatbox Man appeared next to Hazbin Hotel Woman, that made me laugh very hard.

I'm an easily amused person anyway, but this series is perfect escapism. I've laughed all the way through every episode so far. The episode where they pretend to be the bully's dad had me needing to pause a few times.

6:42 ok, I snickered, that was funny

Good thing ted didn’t atleast possibly end badly hopefully this sees more ted stuff releasing in the future and hope ur doing good mark

Ted is one of my and my whole family’s favorite movies of all time for the longest time, but as the show got closer to release I was starting to fear it being bad much more. The show was good and had it’s funny moments most definitely, but it only had one episode with a somewhat original plot (that being the one with Dennis), and the only character that could get a real laugh out of me was Ted. Although it is very reassuring to see a return to form for the genre of stoner comedies.

Just goes to show that when Seth macfarlane actually tries at a comedy series with characters who can be as iconic as they are they’re brilliant, makes you wonder what family guy would be like had he not stepped back from the creative team for the show

I love all of the 90’s references, especially the video game ones.

Why do you prolong the last word when you finish a sentence

the verbalase cameo was wild, didn't know you knew him mark

7:01 verbalase jumpscare

Glad that familiar comedic characters are brought back Can’t wait for more updates and content from this channel!

An LSMark video where he talks about something he likes but it doesn’t slowly change into a video of him talking about something he doesn’t like? That must be as rare as Halley’s comet!

7:01 BRO FUCKING USED VERBALASE 💀💀💀

I live in the Boston-area and I was casually in my car and I just hear ted’s voice blasting out of the speaker. Apparently there’s like a radio promotion or something lol

Even in a review about Ted, I cannot escape this 6:58

im glad i didn't spend 50k for a self-insert ship

6:10 Uh oh, the fans aren't gonna be happy! 😬

2:28 dude put an epylepsy warning here

anyone else notice how Ted can blink in the films, but not in the show ? glad they took that out in favour for a more realistic teddy bear look

How could Mark not talk about the 50k self insert

Shout-out to the Brian sticker made for the thumbnail

That show will never escape the verbalase drama

9:50 wait Seth MacFarlane hasn't been involved in Family Guy for half its life?! No way!!!

I knew you were gonna make fun of verbalase the second you mentioned hazbin hotel

You really missed out by not watching the Orville, it's so good. I love it.

So many hilarious moments, but I the scene that I kept rewinding the most was Ted & Blair biting into the McDonald Apple Pies 😂

Wow can't believe Mark is being positive

the verblase part killed me LMAOOOO

This show is amazing and Seth really made me laugh and smile for the first times this year. Blaire reminds me of Haley from American dad with her own characteristics and complexity such as how she had to run away from her home considering her family had issues. John reminds me of early season Steve from American dad and developing into his own character like in the movies such as him smoking pot for the first time, attempting to lose his virginity, and how he handles his bullies. Susan and Matty have such original character growth* despite being based on a familial stereotype (drunk dad who fought in Vietnam and sinless mother who believes in Christianity). The nostalgia for the 90's is definitely starting to show today as in the 90's and 00's we had a large portion of shows being based in the 60's and 70's (even today based on theme) and I suppose this show has established that culture shock is still possible. I loved Ted since it came out in 2012 and when I turned 16 and started smoking with my hippie grandpa and watched it with him it made it even funnier. My grandpa is in a resting home and if this show came out just a year or two sooner I would be able to show it to him and get high with him like how we used too. My dad who is an alcoholic came in and we lost a lot in the last few months while we already had a roommate (evicted, lost both our cars, my dad taking my grandpa's money, I wasn't able to keep going to college for my music major, lost my dog and he lost his cat, me and him were both in the hospital and were both admitted around new years, I only got out a couple weeks ago, and he's in a senior home now and I'm living with my mom to save money). I want to say in conclusion of this comment, that Seth MacFarlene made a grand influence on my childhood, and I hold him dearly in my heart. I'm happy this show exists. Thank him for the laughs. -Derek Hein

I still can't get out of my head how the kid that plays a young Mark in this show looks almost identical to Angela from Smosh lmao

Ngl, The First Episode had me dying.

We just might be in the Tedaissance right now, never thought I’d see the day.

0:43 “One of my Favorite Childhood Movies” I hate how much I can relate to that

i didnt want u to do a hazbin review until you said that’s all we’d get and now i suddenly want one.

6:59 i cant fucking escape it

2:33 feels like a sneak peak for the American Dad ranking

How does he have time to write and act in the Orville, voice and write this show, voice a bunch of characters in American dad, and voice a bunch of characters in family guy?

I just watched the video on the movies where you talked about this and I wasnt expecting it to be out now

i put on the first episode and i couldnt stop watching it. Seth still has a talent of making quality content and TV shows

I actually remember that they announced this series in 2022 and in shocked that it’s really good

I actually chuckled at the joke where they ask if they can play to lol Ted just looking down and going “ aww “ in a sad tone was hilarious

How is Mark going to say he hopes this gets another season and then insinuate that people should go pirate it. :/

7:00 verbalase jumpscare
