The newest red band trailer for Ted 2 was released on Monday and it features all the raunchy humor that one would expect based on Ted and the fact that Seth McFarlane’s brand of comedy is never known for its subtlety.
It looks like Ted 2 will follow the adventures of Ted and his best buddy John Bennett (played by Mark Wahlberg) as they try to get the government to recognize the stuffed bear as a person so that Ted can have a child.
Evidently, one of Ted’s plans to have a child involves breaking into Tom Brady’s home and having Mark Wahlberg give Brady a handjob. It’s a funny scene that also works as a winking nod to Wahlberg’s known love of Boston sports and his affection for Brady.
Wahlberg has spoken about Brady’s role in the film before. Apparently, the trailer appearance by Brady is part of a longer scene.
“Just shot another movie here [in Boston]. We shot ‘Ted 2.’ And we have an amazing performance from none other than the greatest quarterback of all time. Tom [Brady] is in the movie,” Wahlberg explains. “He plays himself, but he does an amazing job. Funny, funny moment.”

“There were moments where I was always improvising when doing the scene with him,” Wahlberg says. “There are times I’m supposed to be a super fan, so I’m trying to calm myself down before I knock on his door. But I’m pretending that I don’t know who he is. I keep saying he looks like different people.
“Then of course, I’m playing an air conditioning guy, so I’m asking him to sign the paper, and I ask him if he can sign that to me and Ted and put No. 12 there, and can you put ‘Eli Manning sucks.’ And can you put ‘Wes Welker is a traitor,’ and we keep playing around and playing around. I’m staring at his eyes, and I’m like, ‘Oh my God, they’re bluer than Daytona Beach on MTV Spring Break.’”
“He did a great job, really funny.”
