Ted

* Alive
* Deceased

**Theodore “Ted” McDoodle** is one of the main characters in *60 Seconds!*. He is the husband of Dolores and the father of Mary Jane and Timmy.

Ted is one of the two playable characters in the scavenging section of 60 Seconds! and 60 Seconds! Reatomized. If Ted fails to reach the fallout shelter in time, he will dive to the floor and the player will be given the "The End" screen. This happens even if all other family members got into the shelter on time.

Ted has 4 slots to hold items when scavenging. Some things take up multiple slots, such as family members, the rifle, the suitcase, and the axe.

When Scavenging as Dolores, Ted will take **3 slots** to carry, just like Mary Jane.

## Appearance

Ted is American, with black hair and an overweight physique. He shows age, as overtime his beard and hair grow thicker and longer. He wears a white shirt, a swamp green overcoat, a swamp yellow tie, and gray trousers. He rests his head on his left arm when he's not tired. When insane, a sock puppet will appear on Ted's left hand (it will have a stitch if Ted is also fatigued and will have bandages if Ted is also injured), and it will eventually convince him to leave the shelter. When dead, he will be a skeleton slumped over the table. In the 60 Seconds! promo, he wears a white shirt, brown pants, and black shoes, as well as wearing a chef hat and a white Apron.

## Ted's deaths

### **By Dehydratation:**

* Too many days without water took their troll. Ted died of dehydratation. **(Ted died)**

### **By Starvation:**

* There are only so many days a man can survive without food. Ted was stong, but it was too much for him. He starved to death. **(Ted died)**

### **By Sickness:**

* Ted has been sick for far too long, and he was too weak to keep going. He passed away in his sleep. **(Ted died)**

### **By Injuries:**

* Ted's wounds were too serious to leave untreated. They became infected and took Ted's life. **(Ted died)**

### **By Insanity:**

* Ted could not resist the madness that was consuming him any longer. It seems that today, following the advice of his sock puppet, he left the bunker and went in an unknown direction, never to be seen again. We hope Ted, and his cruel puppet that took him away from us, will have lots of fun together... **(Ted died)**

### **During an Expedition:**

* Ted has been outside for far too long, and still he has not returned. We fear he isn't coming back. **(Ted died)**

## Trivia

* When Ted is insane for too long, his sock puppet will convince him to leave the shelter.
* Ted's facial hair will grow throughout time from a stubble to a lumberjack beard and the beard shaving event might trigger when the beard is fully grown.
* If Ted goes crazy, it will eventually lead to him destroying the Map, Water Bottle, a Soup Can, or the Gas Mask.
* Ted is actually a very caring Father/Husband, as shown in one of the insane events where he "protects" his family by boxing the Gas Mask, subsequently breaking it.
* Ted is one of the three characters in the original game that age. The others are Timmy and Mary Jane (who have birthdays). Dolores' hair grows in the remaster.
* If Ted is the only one in the fallout shelter, he will go insane on day 2. You can increase his sanity back to normal with events effectively "resetting" his timer on leaving the shelter, but Ted will go crazy again the next day every time he reaches sanity again.
* If there is an option for an event, and there is no option to choose a person to do it, it will always be Ted who completes the event.
* If Ted or Dolores are not in the fallout shelter while everyone else is, it will be an instant game over as Timmy and Mary Jane heavily rely on the adults to keep the family together and help with situations.
* Ted can survive an unusually long time without eating any Soup Cans. This
	+ This may be due to his slightly Overweight physique.

* According to one of the DLC countdown posts, the Suitcase presumably belongs to Ted's great grandfather.
* Ted is allergic to cats, as shown that he might get sick if Sharikov is allowed to come to the shelter.
* Ted is the only character that always has his legs in the same position, no matter his status. (Unless if he is dead).
* After death, There is a chance Ted's skeleton will "transform" into a blue-colored-robotic skeleton, with his eyes showing out of the sockets (As of now, the cause for that is unknown. Possible case is other family members insanity if applicable). This change will be undone the day after, but it might return across different days of the same run. This might be a reference to the developers, "Robot Gentleman".
* Ted's 3D model contains a total of 40 bones.
* Ted has a driver's license, as shown on the event where Ted searches where his car is parked.
* If you do not bring Ted when scavenging as Dolores, there is a chance he will survive and can enter your shelter. However, he will typically come back injured and crazy.
* Ted can grow his hair in 60 Seconds! Reatomized. The hair is longer and more messy.
* Ted is the fastest character to age. He grows a stubble on Day 2 and his hair becomes slightly unkempt.
* In 60 Parsecs! using the sock puppet in the "Throw an Epic Party!" event has the chance of showing Ted's name. This is the same with the other family members.
* He is noticeably shorter in the first promo and concept art, as he is around half the height of Dolores, while in the final game, he is much taller. This can be seen in the Reatomized! trailer.

* With a padlock inside the shelter (and not with him on an expedition), Ted is the most likely to succeed when alone in the shelter on an expedition.
