Greg Alba, John Humphrey, & Jon Maturan react to Ted (2012), the outrageous R-rated comedy from creator Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy, American Dad!) that became a massive pop-culture hit by blending raunchy humor with surprisingly heartfelt themes about growing up. Equal parts bromance and fairy-tale gone wrong, Ted pushes the limits of studio comedy while delivering endlessly quotable moments. The film centers on John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg – The Departed, The Fighter), a man-child struggling to transition into adulthood while remaining inseparable from his childhood wish come true: Ted, the foul-mouthed, beer-loving teddy bear voiced by Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy, A Million Ways to Die in the West). John’s arrested development puts strain on his relationship with Lori Collins (Mila Kunis – Black Swan, Forgetting Sarah Marshall), who wants a more responsible partner and grows increasingly fed up with Ted’s influence. The supporting cast includes Giovanni Ribisi (Avatar, Saving Private Ryan) as the obsessive and unhinged Donny, whose fixation on Ted escalates into the film’s wild third act, and Joel McHale (Community, The Bear) as Lori’s smug boss Rex. Iconic and highly searched moments include Ted’s viral Flash Gordon obsession and Sam Jones cameo, the infamous Thunder Buddies musical number, the Boston bar brawls, and the chaotic kidnapping finale that cements Ted’s place in comedy history. With shock-value jokes, unexpected heart, and MacFarlane's signature comedic timing, Ted stands as a surprisingly strong feature film debut from one of TV Animation's most prominent forces. #TedMovie #SethMacFarlane #MarkWahlberg #Ted2012 #ThunderBuddies #RRatedComedy #BromanceComedy #TalkingTeddyBear #CultComedy #ComedyClassic #MovieReaction #MovieReview #ComedyReaction #TryNotToLaugh #FlashGordon #React #ReactTo #Reaction #ReelRejects 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 Legally Blonde (2001) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/Z_wRDF9nnZU Neighbors (2014) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/YQsmIsfBfkU Fixed (2025) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/3PW_7A_eLJI 0:00 Checking In! 2:03 TED Reaction 31:15 SHOPIFY 32:46 TED Movie Reaction 1:01:40 TED 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 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 Sketches & Short Films: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_zWuTRfBOUP3aYyIYRzc2y

Showing that when you give Seth Mcfarlane creative control, he can deliver humor.

Through out the entire movie there's only one scene that made me tear up it was when John Bennett heard the thunder and didn't flinch because something happened to Ted.

I swear to God, I think the reason why this movie is so funny is because it's so... Mature?? Like it's characters, it's world, the themes, all feel so well grounded and relatable, even the way they talk. It makes the bat shit raunchy stuff all the more funny because it feels so out of nowhere but never breaks that feeling of relatability.

The Jason Bourne style fight between Johnny & Ted is low-key badass lol

Mark Wahlberg doesn't get enough credit for some of the physical acting/comedy he does in this movie, like in the fight scene. It's great.
