** John and Bethany's [[spoiler:attempt at having their first time with each other ends up interrupted by the infamous 1993 Creator/OJSimpson White Broncho chase on the news, with a title card at the end saying he was acquitted [[CrossesTheLineTwice on all charges and the real killer is still at large]]. The whole season premiered on January 11th, 2024 and then Simpson died on April 10th of Prostate Cancer months before turning 77. The timing elicits a debatable reaction to say the least.

* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: The ''Ted'' franchise had been dormant for close to 9 years after the first film's sequel, nevermind its mixed reception, and there was not much anticipation about revising a series years later that most thought had no reason to return beyond being a curious relic of the 2010s, let alone for a prequel. However, upon release, the show gained extremely unexpected positive word of mouth through scenes from the series going viral online for their comedy, and quickly became Peacock's most-watched series, as mentioned below, due to growing curiosity and genuine praise. Many called the TV series even better than the films themselves (wondering why the films weren't always like this) and Creator/SethMacFarlane's best work in years, and caused renewed interest in ''Ted'' as a whole in early 2024, something ''nobody'' could've expected given how long since the original duology was released.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: As expected from a Creator/SethMacFarlane production, with some jokes playing hopscotch with the line and then stepping on it just for fun. One scene that sticks out is John mentioning how there once was an Indian classmate and expressing shame when he reveals that "they got him".

* CriticalDissonance: Reviews from critics generally formed the consensus that the series was average, par-for-the-course material that is to be expected from Seth McFarlane, albeit nothing particularly new or fresh. Audiences, on the other hand, loved the series, praising its risqué, raunchy humor as much better than the movies, to the point where it became the most viewed original series on Peacock.
