You can tell Al absolutely loves Seth's humor 😂

[bluecollarmenproductions]

The fact he kept forgetting him but kept thinking he’s great is amazing

[landar]

I have watched all seven episodes three times now. Having a stressfull job, this is exactly what I needed to put on and laugh my A$$ off for a while.

[joshfactor]

i think they did a good job finding someone with a babyface; you'd never know this guy is way above high school age

[stev]

The show is genuinely hilarious. I’m glad they went TV-MA with it and let them do and say whatever they want. Me and my bf were watching it and we kept saying “I can’t believe this is on Peacock lol” but that’s a good thing. The show is hilarious I’m enjoying what I’ve seen so far (5 eps in).

2:45 that part when Seth goes full on Monty Burns when burns says "simpson huh?" when homer gets glasses 😅😅

[BroNovaGaming]

Hearing Al Wheeze From That Peacock Joke Was EVERYTHING

[Randomonium]

I'm so glad this show turned out great, Family Guy has been slacking for years. Funniest sitcom in a very long time.

[TheFMHatter]

Seth McFarlane has really come a long way since his writing on Johnny Bravo and such and I can't wait for this

[OKC]

The kid gets Marks type of accent down to a T and i LOVE it! My favorite tv show thats not fully animated now 😂🔥 i feel like this was his break from Orville and that hes going to move back to that show next. Also love how he brought some of those actors into the Ted show!

[gatesofwrestling]

Seth thought about Quagmire and was like, well not all my characters have a piece of me in them😂

[jimjames]

The guy cracking up made this video so much better NEVER CHANGE MY GOOD MAN

[TheShattenjager]

“Finally, I have a series!” Seth is a genuine living god. And I love that he tends to cast familiar actors he has worked well with before. More than a dozen from this show were also in The Orville. Other than Alana Ubach, all the main family and many many peripheral actors as well. They’re really just amazing together.

[ethanellis]

If the Ted prequel serious is successful will we get a Ted 3 in the future ?

[mindaugaskliukas]

Pure genius Seth! Love so much Ted, as well as the Orville!

[zachariahaguilar]

Max did such a good job with this show

[kenjohn]

This show is what we needed. Hope it is a long time running series with alot of seasons!

[AdolisYT]

I'm glad the show took the approach it did. I love the films, but I found myself laughing at the show so much more. Great series overall, glad to see Seth back out here creating some amazing comedy.

[terrencehill]

Show is so funny wish it had more episodes love how they based the show around the 90’s

[mikeoxmaul]

Love Ted, Love Seth. And hope there will at least be a season 2!
