The cast of the Peacock comedy series Ted revealed some of the most unhinged and risqué scenes from the show's second season. Scott Grimes, who plays John's father Matty, described a scene where his character emerges from a bathtub with his pants down, while Giorgia Whigham, who portrays cousin Blaire, highlighted an episode featuring the character Mrs. Robichek as particularly over-the-top. The actors discussed how the show's irreverent humor and willingness to push boundaries is central to the Ted franchise.

Why it matters

Ted has built a loyal following for its raunchy, no-holds-barred comedy, and the cast's comments provide insight into how the show's writers and producers strive to deliver increasingly outrageous and memorable moments each season. As a prequel to the hit Ted film franchise, the TV series aims to capture the same spirit of boundary-pushing humor that made the original movies so popular.

The details

In one scene described by actor Scott Grimes, his character Matty emerges from a bathtub with his pants down and has to wrestle with his brother, with the camera focused directly on Grimes' bare behind. Giorgia Whigham highlighted an episode featuring the character Mrs. Robichek as particularly unhinged, while also recalling a season one scene where Alanna Ubach's character Susan made an off-the-cuff remark that left Whigham in stitches during filming. The cast emphasized that delivering these types of bold, irreverent comedic moments is central to the Ted series' identity.

  • The Ted Season 2 finale aired last month.
  • The series is set in the 1990s in Framingham, Massachusetts.

What they’re saying

“It's gonna be the whole scene where I come out of the bathtub with my pants down, and I have to wrestle my brother with my bare behind showing to the world. I don't know if you guys have seen it, but my bum is in your face. The camera is there, and my bum is right there. So that was tough to watch, tough to film, but it's also what we do on this show. We push that kind of envelope a little.”

— Scott Grimes, Actor

“Oh man, they're all unhinged. But I think anything from the Mrs. Robichek episode. That whole episode is unhinged, and that would pop up in the dictionary, I would say.”

— Giorgia Whigham, Actress

“There's one that I reference because I laughed and I couldn't pull it together. It was in season one. I don't even know if it got put into the show, but when Alanna... when we were at the dinner table, we were, for some reason, I forget what it was, we were all complimenting on Suze. I think they were, 'Oh, I think they were stoned,' and they were saying, 'Oh, this meatloaf is great, or whatever.' And she said, 'I feel like the Academy Awards,' and just the way Alanna talks is so, it's just the improv lines that she would give just made me laugh each time. But that one, that one killed me.”
