The Teds is a project developed by The Residents in the early 1990s, originally intended as a film and performance piece, which has never been completed. The concept of the project was said by Hardy Fox to revolve around "two guys that together made one person". The film was to have been co-directed by the group with David Lynch.
In 1993, The Residents released a limited edition EP entitled Prelude To "The Teds", featuring four songs which were intended as an introduction to this project. A track entitled "Ted" featured during the group's Fillmore performances, related to the character of the same name from the Bad Day on the Midway CD-ROM. It has not been confirmed by the group if this character or song is related to this project.
In 2020 Italian independent comics magazine Capek approached The Cryptic Corporation, asking for a contribution from The Residents. The group submitted a revised plot outline for The Teds, and hired artist Sergio Ponchione to illustrate it. The resulting comic (printed in the Italian language) was made available in the July 2020 issue of the magazine.
