    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Ted mentions 9/11. Mark Wahlberg and Seth MacFarlane narrowly missed being on American Airlines Flight 11, one of the planes that hit the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Wahlberg was booked on the flight, but decided to drive to New York City and fly to California later. MacFarlane arrived at the gate ten minutes late and was not allowed to board. He was sitting in the airport when he saw that his plane had hit the World Trade Center's North Tower.
    • Goofs
      When John answer's Ted's call while riding in the car with Lori, John holds his iPhone upside-down (as evidenced by the lock button and headphone jack) for nearly the entire conversation.
    • Quotes

      John: We have been dating for four years tomorrow.

      Ted: Fuck me! Nice!

      John: Let me ask you something. You don't think she's gonna be expecting something big, do you?

      Ted: What? Like anal?

    • Crazy credits
      At the start of the movie, the Universal 'planet earth' signature sequence appears, and the narration begins. As the narration continues, the camera zooms in to the logo, "Google Earth Style" eventually centering on the action in the young John Bennet's home town.
    • Alternate versions
      When the film proved to be a huge success in Germany, it was re-released in several cities with two different dubbings. One features Ted speaking with a Bavarian accent, the other has him speaking in Berlinerisch.

    Best Ted Talk ever!
    I only watched this by accident years after it's release because I thought the premise was a bit weak - a talking Teddy! Much to my surprise it's a really funny stoner comedy. All aspects of the movie is well done and I also enjoyed the sequel. Both are great movies to watch when "chillin" with friends!
