Looking for the series itself? Also in this series: Ted 2 (2015)

A high-concept fantasy premise mined for cheeky laughs
The difference: PG-13 and sweeter — the edge is sanded way down

Gruff exterior, buried sweetness, laughs edged with darkness
The difference: A tearjerker at heart — grief, not bong jokes

Dark comedy about a man's life quietly falling apart
The difference: Coen existential dread — bleak, biblical and unresolved

Deadpan absurdity about the strangeness of ordinary lives
The difference: Austere Swedish tableaux — barely any jokes per minute

A toy come to life colliding with human mess and disappointment
The difference: Slicker and more pointed, with real ideas running under the comedy

Profane comedy that still takes its fantasy mythology seriously
The difference: Talky 90s religious satire — more debate than hangout

An impossible houseguest making a mess of somebody's ordinary life
The difference: Gothic and mannered, leaning on atmosphere far more than laughs

Two things both keep coming back to: friendship and love
The difference: Trades the dream logic of Ted for an angle of its own

A supernatural roommate upending a stalled life
The difference: A gentle romcom — whimsy and longing, not raunch

A friendship breakup treated with dead-serious comic weight
The difference: Melancholy and violent — the laughs curdle into sorrow

A childlike outsider whose innocence exposes adult absurdity
The difference: A Bollywood epic of faith — earnest where Ted is filthy

A wish granted to a man nowhere near ready to handle it
The difference: Broad and moralizing, with a tidy lesson waiting at the end
