IF you say so, LOL A generally rated 3 star movie a top three all-time? You should have written and directed it, might have been funnier......

Just kidding guys, to each his own.

That was a comedy???

I thought it was hilarious, but I did myself a huge disservice by watching the 3 minute unedited trailer which gave up most of the great gags.

Oh come on guys you know as you get older everything gets dumber.

You have to be in the mood to laugh at foul humor and if you are...then it is absolutely fantastic.

I would be pissed if Will Farrell did that to my snare drum..... bu then i'd punch him in the face and we'd be cool.

Yeah, like an unsupervised Junior High production.

Ted was touted as showcasing MacFarlane's boundary pushing humor. Where did he push a boundary that hadn't been trampled decades ago?

Blazing Saddles fart scene had people rolling - 40 YEARS AGO but the non-PC Mel Brooks (before PC existed) didn't repeat the same hackneyed gag, over and over again.

George Carlin doing the seven dirty words you couldn't say on the air was boundary pushing and funny - 30 YEARS AGO.

Carl Spackler eating the Baby Ruth at the bottom of the pool was funny - 20 YEARS AGO.

South Park covered most of this material on TV - years ago. "I don't trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn't die," was classic - 15 YEARS AGO.


"Is that a $hit on the floor?," should have been the title of the movie. It permeated the screen.

The audience when I saw Ted was mostly high school and college age. There was occasional laughter but not much. There was no generation gap there.



In another thread Jeff Daniels waxes on about why America isn't great anymore. Instead of misstating the infant mortality in America he should have addressed a real travesty, the decline of humor in America. Any 13 or 14 year old male could have written TED.

Didn't enjoy it, all the best parts are in the previews.

I just thought it might be cool to see what having a magic bear best friend would be like and then #ripbongs and #destroyhookers...

oh well...
