This is literally the only upcoming Peacock series that I'm actually interested in.

Which Ted character are you looking to get to know better?

Marky Mark and his funky bunch

_Hotwire_ t1_ixu8oly wrote

I wish they would do a biopic for the funky bunch.

But have marky mark played by mark wahlberg trying to act like and dress like he did as a kid. Have all the other actors be very young as well to make it weirder.

If it uses really, really bad de-aging tech, I'm in.

No de-aging. Just old mark playing young teenage mark

Not a fan of Marky Mark but both Ted movies slapped! Looking forward to this.

I am of the same mind about marky mark but for one exception. His performance in The Other Guys is a master class of chewing the scenery. He hollers every one of his lines at the top of his lungs for the entire film. I thought it was a john waters movie because of the performances. Everyone was great but he really surprised me. Like Jason Statham in Spy, delivering jokes with perfect comedic timing. Sorry I’m way off topic.

I love how he can’t understand his girlfriend is a ballet dancer and not a stripper “You shouldn’t be in this club dancin for dollars”

BrianOhNoYouDidnT t1_ixt9caf wrote

Learning to dance ballet just to bully a kid. But still not understanding anything about it.

S3simulation t1_ixtajtq wrote

It’s interesting to me how the Other Guys was sort of the start of Adam McKay’s transition to the more political themes he’s been exploring with his career

It makes me miss Eva Mendes. It also rekindled my Michael Keaton crush.

CompetitiveProject4 t1_ixxiqrc wrote

It’s definitely the precursor to The Big Short given the Other Guys’ ending credits which gave a fun intro to how financial fraud works

I do hope he and Will Ferrel are able to reconcile, he did Will kinda dirty

CompetitiveProject4 t1_ixxkawz wrote

I agree but I’m not sure I would ever take a time machine to change it if the path led to them producing “Succession”

The combination of a UK and US comedy genius definitely led to some incredibly funny but truly high art.

MrBoliNica t1_ixt77c8 wrote

Other guys was his first comedy. I remember being surprised at how funny he was. Wouldn’t be shocked if he really gave it his all as a way to prove himself in that genre

Kind-Strike t1_ixt871r wrote

Dude I laughed so fucking much in that movie, I even drooled on myself at one point.

The "I'm a peacock you gotta let me fly" and the whole screaming about the millennium falcon just damn near had me dead.

BrianOhNoYouDidnT t1_ixt924e wrote

I laugh so hard at that line even before they explain that peacocks don’t fly. I’m not so clever so hearing that fact made it even funnier to me.

Gh0stMan0nThird t1_ixt0zdr wrote

Honestly I think Seth Macfarlane is incredibly funny and talented but he suffers from spreading himself too thin across all his shows, which makes them all come across as mediocre.

13

SmashedPumpkin30 t1_ixt1z6m wrote

He doesn't usually. He does a show until bored and leaves them to others. Family Guy for example he hasn't wrote or managed for years. Just does the voices and collects mad cash.

Djinnwrath t1_ixt67ol wrote

There's also a sharp dropoff in quality after season 10 (his last season of FG)

cb00sh t1_ixtrk6m wrote

It was a dropoff after season 3

Djinnwrath t1_ixtsa16 wrote

Whether there was or wasn't doesn't validate or invalidate the point I made.

xenongamer4351 t1_ixuzmja wrote

Season 1-3 was just peak comedy. 4-10 fell off but was still very funny. After 10 I have no idea how people still watch family guy.

Loganp812 t1_ixvwmhs wrote

FG went downhill long before Season 10. S10 is just the point where it basically went on life support.

Djinnwrath t1_ixvxyij wrote

Whether that's true or not is irrelevant to the point I made.

MrBoliNica t1_ixt7jnr wrote

He still produces family guy doesn’t he? Between that and the voices, it’s not like he has no clue what’s going on with that show lol

2

TheSeventhAnimorph t1_ixt95y6 wrote

Not sure how much involvement he actually has as a producer now; TV shows that change to a new showrunner after the original creator has left entirely usually still give the creator a producer credit in basically an honorary sense. (I'm not saying that is necessarily the case there, but it happens fairly often.)

Pool_Shark t1_ixujid8 wrote

Credits are most of the time negotiated by agents so it’s part of the deal. For family guy he created the show so he will always have his name on the credits and collect a check even if he ditched the voice work and someone else replaced him

American Dad got better when he stopped being involved in the writing

Well the good news is Marky Mark isn’t in this. It takes place when John was a kid, or at least a teenager.

Why does everyone keep calling him “Marky Mark” it’s been like 25 years since he went by that

I didn't make it through the first 30 minutes of the first one. Found it incredibly unfunny.

Whether you like them or not. Ted and Ted 2 were both box office hits.

What a dumb question. Pretty sure you never asked for 90% of the stuff you're currently watching.

I fucking hate the "who asked for this" response so much because if you look into what people ARE asking for, it's usually 10 times dumber

A prequel to The Other Guys, starring The Rock and SLJ's characters...

Perpete t1_ixw1hc8 wrote

Thing is, in theory people would like that, but what's important is the quality of the writing. A badly written/directed prequel with The Rock and SLJ would be disgusting. A good written/directed Ted prequel, albeit with fewer people asking for it, would be more interesting.

What people wants is good shows, the topic is not that important.

1

ParkerZA t1_ixwnoo4 wrote

Agreed. I only used that example because The Other Guys is a parody of whatever prequel starring those characters would be. Thereby missing the entire point of The Other Guys.
