In Los Angeles, California, Seth MacFarlane, the creator of the TV show “Ted,” recently discussed a controversial joke from the prequel series. In an interview with TVLine, MacFarlane talked about a joke involving Lori Loughlin, who portrayed Aunt Becky in the popular sitcom “Full House.” The interview video can be watched on TVLine’s website.
The “Ted” prequel is set in the 90s and follows the story of John Bennett, played by Max Burkholder. In the show, it is revealed that John, at the age of 16, had a major crush on Lori Loughlin’s character. He had a poster of Aunt Becky taped to his bedroom wall and would dream about their future wedding. John even describes Loughlin as “f—ing gorgeous” and believes she can do no wrong.
However, the series takes place 26 years before Loughlin’s involvement in the 2019 college admissions scandal. In the eyes of the teenage John, Loughlin is seen as a saint. MacFarlane, who also had a crush on Loughlin during the original run of “Full House,” shared his own memories during the interview.
MacFarlane admitted that he had been mispronouncing Loughlin’s name, saying “Loughlin” instead of the correct pronunciation, “Loughlin.” He joked that he now has to rethink everything.
The interview includes Burkholder’s perspective on the Loughlin gag, which is described as NSFW (not safe for work). MacFarlane encourages viewers to watch the interview and share their thoughts in the comments section.
Overall, the interview sheds light on the controversial joke from the “Ted” prequel involving Lori Loughlin’s character from “Full House.” It provides insight into the character’s teenage crush and the admiration held for Loughlin by both the fictional character and the show’s creator. The interview offers fans of the series an opportunity to hear from the creator and gain a deeper understanding of the joke.
