TED marks the live-action directorial debut for cartoon maestro Seth MacFarlane, and tells the tale of Mark Whalberg’s John Bennet and his best friend… a sentient teddy bear.

Check out the newly released ‘green band’ (ie: ‘safe for work’) promo below, and the ‘red band’ (ie: definitely NOT) trailer underneath that. Our interest has definitely been piqued…
