Ted

Seth McFarlane, Creator of family guy brings you the story of a 30. Something stoner with a girlfriend who wants him to take responsibility and a best friend who keeps distracting him. So far so Judd Apatow. Except the best friend is a teddy bear brought to life by a Christmas wish when the bay is 9.

As with Bender in Futurama and Brian, the dog in family guy, there are quite a few things an  anthropomorphised character can get away with that might be a touch too rude with a real person and McFarlane is happy to explore. Mark Wahlberg yet again proves expert at playing deadpan for laughs. The jokes come regularly and made me laugh. That's all I want from a comedy and this delivered.
