Mark Wahlberg and his foul-mouthed friend are back and raunchier than ever in the first trailer for “Ted 2,” released by Universal Pictures on Thursday.
The sequel follows Ted, the plush, perverted bear voiced by Seth MacFarlane, and his attempts to become ever more human. He takes a human bride, but when it comes to procreation, well, there’s a catch.
The trailer starts with Ted asking his pal John (Wahlberg) for a sperm donation to help him father children with a human bride, which naturally leads to a gross-out scene at a sperm bank that leaves Mark covered in human protein.
“It’s in my eyes, I’m blinking it in,” Wahlberg shouts.
“Wait, wait, wait, I’m going to take a picture and post it on Facebook,” Ted says. “Hashtag: grrrrMondays.”
Much of the trailer is set in a courtroom, where Ted is petitioning for the right to conceive. Amanda Seyfried co-stars as Samantha Leslie Jackson, the doe-eyed attorney helping him fight the good fight.
“That’s great, just like Sam L. Jackson,” Wahlberg says.
“Who’s that?” she asks.
“Have you ever seen any movie ever?” Ted responds. “He’s the black guy.”
“Ted 2,” which also co-stars Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson and Dennis Haysbert, but not Mila Kunis, Wahlberg’s love interest in the original, which made $550 million worldwide.
“Ted 2” hits theaters on June 26.
