I thought it might be an April Fool’s joke as well. The voice of the bear did seem like a cross between Peter and Brian.
WTF is up with Family Guy? It sucked last season, but this season there was a string of good episodes. Not Sunday’s episode though, it was terrible. It had a few good jokes at least, like the panther coming to the hospital to tell Peter he finally got the “Who’s on first?” joke.
Well huh, that didn’t help at all? You were feeling out of sorts because Mark was looking ghastly to you as well? You might want to explore those feelings with a trained professional!
As did I, so I guess I’ll be seeing this movie. Funny, I didn’t even occur to me that the movie was faked, unlike when South Park described Jack and Jill, which I thought for sure was just a joke and was later horrified to learn it was not.
Truth be told, I’m not too keen on the movie wasting time explaining why the bear is animated, by talking about a magic wish or whatnot - I’m okay with everyone just casually accepting Ted the way characters on Family Guy are okay with Brian… walking, talking, driving a Prius…
I heard about Ted ages ago either via Twitter or Facebook (yes, I follow Seth) so I didn’t ever think it was a joke or spoof. Didn’t think it was going to look like the trailer though - which seems to be a real life version of a cartoon (if that makes sense!)
