Yeah, he's totally cute until he tries to get you in bed.

Ted is a 2012 comedy film directed by Seth MacFarlane and stars himself, Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis, and is MacFarlane's directorial debut. It focuses on John, a little boy who receives a teddy bear as a gift and wishes for him to come to life. As luck would have it, his wish is granted, and the bear, aptly named Ted, does in fact gain sentience and grows up alongside John as his best friend. 27 years later, they're still together as roommates, and still somewhat on the immature slacker side. When John meets Lori (played by Kunis), she feels that Ted is a poor influence on John, while Ted feels she's going to come between their friendship. It received a 2015 sequel, Ted 2, with Wahlberg and MacFarlane returning.

Tropes used in Ted (film) include:

Berserk Button:
- Ted doesn't like being compared to Teddy Ruxpin.
- When Sam Jones gets coked up, the name Ming is his button due to his past as Flash Gordon.

Sam Jones: DEATH TO MING!!!

Country Matters: Lori said the word, but Johnny doesn't like hearing it.
High Concept: Mark Wahlberg and a talking teddy bear.
Living Toys
Sliding Scale of Living Toys: Ted's a good example of Level 5.
