Okay, I know this is ridiculous, but hear me out. There's no centralized info on this online, so I figure it's a civic duty or something.
Bedtime Ted was a line of stickers produced around 2004 by the company Surplus Worldwide. In the vein of better-known series like Happy Bunny or those "Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them" shirts, Bedtime Ted mixed "edgy" slogans and cute, Sanrio-esque artwork to offer proof that you weren't like those other kids in your classroom. The stickers had swanky metallic backgrounds and seem to have been distributed mostly in vending machines. It's possible that the Bedtime Ted character appeared on other merchandise like t-shirts or menstrual pads, but I personally can't remember ever seeing it either at the time or in my subsequent searches.
I used to get these from a vending machine at a Big Lots store, and my brother and I were absolute fiends for them. This was the same time that we were both really into Newgrounds and Foamy the Squirrel, so anything that brushed at that kind of humor was our bag. Because they were "too controversial" to to have at school (can you imagine?), I stuck them to a binder where I kept my best Pokemon cards or something. Anyway, I have really fond memories of these stickers but as I said (and as you might expect for mid-2000s vending machine stickers) they're very poorly documented. So, basically, I've collected a bunch of pictures of them from Ebay listings and the like and arranged them here to stand until the end of time. By no means is it complete.
Here's some trademark information I found. Are you the biggest Bedtime Ted fan in the world? I wanna know. If you have other information or better photos/scans of these stickers, I'd love to see them. Also, every time I see one of those sticker vending machines somewhere, it seems like all the stickers in them are 20+ years old. Let me know if some place near you has a treasure trove of Bedtime Ted, or any other weird stickers. As ever, send everything to this address.
