Ted 2

If you are after a comedy that actually makes you laugh out loud, Ted 2 is available in Australia on Disney Plus and BINGE, and in the US on Philo and Starz Apple TV Channel right now. It knows exactly what kind of film it is from the opening scene, and never loses that thread. 8,052 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Mark Wahlberg sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Put it on tonight on Disney Plus and see for yourself.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Ted 2 earns its spot. Ted 2 gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. Newlywed couple Ted and Tami-Lynn want to have a baby, but in order to qualify to be a parent, Ted will have to prove he's a person in a court of law. Between them, Mark Wahlberg and Seth MacFarlane carry the comedy without ever forcing it. It was released in 2015. Ted 2 earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Ted 2. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Mark Wahlberg anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
