Loud Night
"Loud Night" is the sixth episode of the American fantasy comedy series Ted. Written by Julius Sharpe and directed by series creator Seth MacFarlane, it premiered on the American streaming service Peacock, along with the rest of season one, on January 11, 2024. The series acts as a precursor to the Ted film franchise, showcasing the childhood lives of the protagonists.
The series, set in 1993, focuses on John Bennett (Max Burkholder), the series' primary protagonist, an awkward high-school aged boy; along with Ted (MacFarlane), the series' titular anthropomorphic teddy bear. The two live with John's family, Susan (Alanna Ubach), his mild mannered mother, and Matty (Scott Grimes), his conservative father. Also residing with the family is Blaire (Giorgia Whigham), his radically liberal cousin whom often clashes with Matty. In "Loud Night", the family discovers that Blaire is sexually fluid, and has been dating her friend, Sarah (Marissa Shankar). Meanwhile, Matty wishes for a friend, and is given a talking toy truck, who shares Matty's conservative attitudes.
Ubach listed the scene of her walking in on Blaire and Sarah as her "favorite", recalling that it required multiple takes to complete. Upon release, the episode received positive reception from critics; with one calling it the stand-out episode of the season.
