The clip comes from Ted, the 2012 comedy film directed by Seth MacFarlane, who also voices the foul mouthed teddy bear brought to life by a childhood wish. Mark Wahlberg stars as his grown up owner John Bennett. Lines from the film were widely clipped and shared online as reaction sounds because Ted's adult voice makes even simple phrases sound funny out of context. A plain declaration of love from such a rude character became a reusable shortcut for affection played straight or for laughs.
