FILM 1754: TED 2

TRIVIA: According to the DVD commentary, Seth MacFarlane witnessed Justin Bieber walk out of a screening of this movie, after Morgan Freeman insults Ted, comparing him to Bieber.

Guy's lover is played by Michael Dorn, best known for his role as Worf on Star Trek: the Next Generation (1987) and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993). During the Comic-Con scene, he cosplays as this character.

Stephen Collins had a major cameo. He was replaced after a child sex abuse video confession.

When Sam is playing the guitar, and singing in the countryside, all the little animals gather round to listen. The song and chord structure is very similar to the scene from ¡Three Amigos! (1986), when, Chevy, Steve, and Martin sing the cowboy lullaby "Blue Shadows on the Trail".

The Harrison Ford movie Ted makes a reference to is called 'Regarding Henry'.

Various teddy bears were used as stand-ins for post-production editing. Ted's movements were done by Seth MacFarlane through motion capture.

At one point in the movie, Ted mentions 9/11. 'Mark Wahlberg' and Seth MacFarlane both narrowly missed being on the planes that hit the World Trade Center. Wahlberg was booked on American Airlines Flight 11 but decided to drive up to New York and fly to California later. McFarlane was scheduled on the same flight but arrived to gate ten minutes late and was unable to board. He was sitting in the airport when he saw that his plane had hit the North Tower of the World trade center.

Near the end of the movie, when Lori looks outside the window and up to the stars, you can see the constellation Ursa Minor, which means Little Bear, in the upper left corner.
