Greg Alba, John Humphrey, & Jon Maturan react to Episode 1 of Peacock’s TED, the raunchy and heartfelt series premiere titled “Just Say Yes.” Serving as a prequel to Seth MacFarlane’s hit films, the series rewinds to the early 1990s to explore the chaotic origins of the friendship between a teenage John Bennett and his foul-mouthed, living teddy bear. The premiere reintroduces Ted (voiced by Seth MacFarlane – Family Guy, The Orville) as a politically incorrect, boundary-free menace navigating adolescence alongside John Bennett (Max Burkholder – Parenthood, The Purge). As Ted’s fame fades and reality sets in, the episode leans into outrageous comedy and surprising heart, spotlighting family dynamics with John’s exhausted parents Susan (Alanna Ubach – Euphoria, Coco) and Matty Bennett (Scott Grimes – ER, The Orville), while newcomer Blaire (Giorgia Whigham – The Punisher, Scream) shakes up the household with sharp wit and skepticism toward Ted’s influence. Packed with crude humor, nostalgic ‘90s vibes, and an unfiltered look at growing up with a magical but deeply inappropriate best friend, the premiere sets the tone for a series that balances shock laughs with genuine coming-of-age moments. We break down the biggest jokes, character introductions, and how the show expands the Ted universe beyond the movies. #TedSeries #TEDPeacock #SethMacFarlane #TED #ComedySeries #TVReaction #TVReview #PeacockTV #AdultComedy #TedPrequel #SeriesPremiere #Binge #Bingeworthy #FamilyGuy #AmericanDad #TheOrville #Hilarious #TryNotToLaugh #React #ReactTo #Reaction Friends Season 5, Eps 7 - 12 Reaction: The Naked Gun (2025) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/5QGcyurT8kc A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/OhgL5-uYago Fixed (2025) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/3PW_7A_eLJI 0:00 Checking In! 1:49 Ted Reaction 30:15 HUEL 32:19 Ted Season 1 Review Follow Jon Maturan: https://www.instagram.com/jonmaturan/?hl=en Follow Greg Alba: https://www.instagram.com/thegregalba/ https://twitter.com/thegregalba Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Head Editor: https://www.instagram.com/praperhq/?hl=en Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG Ask Us A QUESTION On CAMEO: https://www.cameo.com/thereelrejects Follow GREG On INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thegregalba/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thegregalba PLAYLISTS: Trailer Reactions & Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw9ZsLdoAQFpx38s2hhyFgDe Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8 Movie Talk (News, Spoiler Reviews, & Film Rumors!!!): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw8fPQ-21NVSb2IOwIiHbVt8 Youtube Video Reactions & Discussions: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_qwcPsN_vOxXC6IVzrOQYG Sketches & Short Films: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_zWuTRfBOUP3aYyIYRzc2y

“They got him” hits different in today’s climate, but I still find it so funny given it’s vagueness.

The show is hands down better than the movies. Also Seth MacFarlane brings back his Family Guy early seasons humor into this show that's icing on the cake.
