When Does "ted" (2012) Take Place?
"ted" is a fantasy comedy film written by Seth MacFarlane with Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild that released July 5th, 2012. So when is "ted" set?
It takes place in the year:
We know this because John Bennett says several times that he and Laurie have been dating "for 4 years" and they are seen first meeting in the 2008 AD flashback.
2012 AD
We know this because John Bennett says several times that he and Laurie have been dating "for 4 years" and they are seen first meeting in the 2008 AD flashback.
2,008 + 4 = 2,012.
Additionally, there is a prologue that has an unnamed narrator who says, "It began in 1985, in a town just outside Boston." and immediately afterward, "It was Christmas Eve, and all the children were in high spirits." and we see the hilarious Christmas morning aftermath. So presumably it's December 24th, 1985 AD and December 25th, 1985 AD during the prologue.
Finally, there's a flashback to John and Laurie's first meeting, labeled with a subtitle reading "2008" so presumably this is in 2008 AD.
