Ted (2012)

Mark Wahlberg isn't a comedian. But he has created a slew of memorable one-liners over the years, and many of them are really funny. Can you match the Wahlberg line with the proper movie? Take our quiz and find out.

Seth MacFarlane's Ted is most definitely a raunchy movie. It's titular character is a foul-mouthed, drug-loving, perverted teddy bear, and his best friend, played by Mark Wahlberg, has plenty of shared interests. Being a Catholic, it seems that Wahlberg carries a bit of guilt for the project, and found himself actually apologizing to Pope Francis for it (albeit jokingly).

With Black Mass arriving in theaters this weekend, and telling the story of Boston’s most notorious criminal, we decided to look back at the history of movies set in the great Massachusetts city and do a straight-up ranking. Which film is number one? Read on to find out!

Amanda Seyfried revealed thatTed 2 changed drastically while it was being written, after it was originally sold to her as a road-trip movie.

Ted 2 hits theaters on Friday, but that doesn’t mean they’re done having fun in the pre-release media campaign yet. There’s a new poster for the upcoming comedy which will strike a chord with anybody who was a sci-fi fan in the 1980’s, especially if you’ve seen the first film.

Back in November, Kim Kardashian “broke the internet” when she posed nude on the cover of Paper Magazine. Well now, upon the upcoming release of Ted 2 a certain loud-mouth teddy bear decided it’s about his time to share that Kardashian-styled spotlight

If you've been patiently waiting for Ted 2, this new restricted trailer should satisfy fans of the first film, as well as all of you crude humor enthusiasts out there.

Watch Mark Wahlberg and Ted display their intimate knowledge of the American legal system in this hilarious Ted 2 clip.

It appears that Seth McFarlane has been vindicated in the eyes of a Los Angeles court after the dismissal of a lawsuit against him alleging that his comedic vulgar taking teddy bear film, Ted was too similar to a series of video sketches focusing on a character called “Charlie The Abusive Teddy Bear.” It’s certainly a huge relief for McFarlane as Ted 2 readies an imminent summer release.

With a brand new poster and its first trailer on the way, Ted 2 is ready to shoot its advertising load into the public's eyes. But just when you've thought you know what's headed your way, a surprise hits you in the face.

I’m legitimately comforted by the fact that the ultra-serious dude from Foxcatcher -- the guy who appears like he could snap my neck like a twig – sends hilariously pompous emails to his friends and colleagues when he’s experiencing a true upbeat moment in his professional life.

Ted 2 is scheduled to hit theaters on June 26th, 2015, joining what could go down as the most stacked summer in the entire history of cinema

Just when you thought intellectual property was safe in Hollywood, another lawsuit against a popular film is claiming that someone stole their idea. This time, an internet production company is alleging that Seth MacFarlane stole the idea for Ted from their similarly foul tempered teddy bear.

Voting is officially open for the 2013 MTV Movie Awards. The nominations for the past year's crop of movies were announced tonight, with Django Unchained and Ted tied for the most nominations, with seven each. Coming in just behind those two are Silver Linings Playbook with six nominations and The Dark Knight Rises with 5. The Avengers, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Pitch Perfect and Skyfall received four nominations a piece.

Seth MacFarlane has always been a TV guy. Even before he became one of the biggest names in entertainment with shows like Family Guy, American Dad! and The Cleveland Show, he was part of the team over at Cartoon Network, writing for shows like Dexter’s Laboratory, and Johnny Bravo. But then 2012 came and completely reshaped his entire career.

With music by Walter Murphy and lyrics by MacFarlane, the song is up against the aforementioned "Skyfall," Les Miserables's "Suddenly," Chasing Ice's "Before My Time," and Life of Pi's "Pi's Lullaby." Should “Everybody Needs a Best Friend” win the award for Best Original Song, the statues would go to Murphy and MacFarlane.

Up until last year Seth MacFarlane was almost exclusively a television guy...but then came Ted. After years working on shows like Family Guy and American Dad, MacFarlane took the leap into features and made his directorial debut with the story of a middle-aged man child (played by Mark Wahlberg) and his anthropomorphic teddy bear. And the experiment was a smash success.

For the last two weeks we have been applauding the best work of the year, from our individual critical top 10s to lists of our favorite action scenes, on-screen couples, facial hair statements, lines of dialogue, breakthrough performances and much more. And now it’s time to celebrate those very special moments of 2012 when cinema and music fell into perfect harmony.

As we put a cap on the cinematic year, we wanted to go back and single out the duos who turned our heads with combustible on-screen chemistry. We admit to cheating in at least one selection, and we admit an over-reliance on the Hollywood “bromance.” But we think it’s a great list.

While the system has its problems and flaws, YouTube is a pretty great thing. In addition to being an outlet that allows people to post all kinds of original content for all of the internet to see, it's also a great haven for movie trailers, a place where you can type in the name of your favorite movie and instantaneously get any of its preview. But of all the movies that were released in 2012, which feature's trailer received the most hits on YouTube?

Arnold Schwarzenegger used to be a king of the summer blockbuster, but now it looks like he's picking up his game and moving it to January. The Last Stand, the first movie he's done as a starring role since Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines in 2003, will be out on January 18th of next year and now another one of his upcoming projects has landed in the first month of the year.

Ted crushed at the box office, bringing in over $218 million domestically and, on December 11, it will begin crushing on Blu-ray. To celebrate, Universal Studios Home Entertainment is giving away two Ted Thunder Buddy prize packs, which will come with a Blu-ray copy of the film and much, much more. So, if you have your own Thunder Buddy, make sure you pass the word along.

Rudolph left her comfy comedy terrain behind in 2009, offering a somber and moving portrayal of an anxious expecting mother in the quirky drama Away We Go. And it seems Anderson is mulling over a similarly risky leap of his own, considering crafting his own comedy. While doing press for The Master, the five-time Academy Award-nominated director was asked if there is any chance he might helm a comedy.

I’m sure it helped that Family Guy’s Seth MacFarlane was on board to direct and co-write the script, but the film's huge box office success--earning $218 million in the States alone--was a surprise. If you happened to miss the movie, or thought it was really fucking funny, Ted will be hitting Blu-ray and DVD on December 11.

This is a big year for Universal Pictures in many ways. As the studio was first founded in 1912, this year marks their 100th anniversary and they've been celebrating with hit after hit. While they've had their fair share of flops - namely titles like Battleship, Wanderlust and Five Year Engagement - they've had far more huge hits. In fact, 2012 has actually been the most successful year in the studio's history.

When news first broke that Seth MacFarlane was making a movie, many doubted the writer's short attention span style of comedy would translate to the big screen. But the blow of taking on the longer format of film was softened by MacFarlane favoring his strengths. Ted centered on an overgrown goofball and his similarly stunted and unlikely best friend and blended elements of nostalgia with crude humor...

If raunch-coms are your thing you were living the dream this weekend. Pervy teddy bears and a chorus of male strippers dominated the box office, snagging the top two spots and almost $100 million between them.

As promised by the strong box office at their midnight screenings, both of this weekend's new releases have a lot to brag about-- and neither will have trouble knocking out last weekend's box office champion Brave

Though Magic Mike is getting a lot of the attention and the hottest advance ticket sales, it's looking like a real horse race between two R-rated movies at the box office this weekend. Both Magic Mike and the Seth MacFarlane-Mark Wahlberg comedy Ted debuted to surprisingly strong midnight screenings last night

Back in 2010, during the run-up to the release of Adam McKay’s The Other Guys, our own Katey Rich wrote an editorial titled "Rant: Mark Wahlberg Is Not That Funny, And We Need To Stop Telling Him He Is.” In the article she argued that while the actor has his moments, his particular style suffers from diminishing returns and that he would be better off sticking to the dramas and action flicks that made him a star. Let’s now fast forward to the present...
