    Have to say, I thought it was absolutely hilarious. I appreciate that there are a lot of people out there who absolutely hate Family Guy and Seth McFarlane's humour in general. I wonder - are there any of you out there that like Family Guy that didn't actually like Ted?

    Me. Love family guy, Cleveland show. American dad, not so much, though.
    I wasn't expecting family guy humor, I was expecting a funny movie but instead what I feel like I got was a superb premise with the worst possible execution of the story.
    And the early shock humor of fg was all over it which made it seem cheap and recycled.
    All IMO of course.

    Watching this now.....the end credits are coming on screen.

    Can anyone tell me when the funny bits are going to happen?

    Watched it last night was all set to enjoy it after the good things I'd heard but as a big fan of early Family Guy (Seasons 1 - 3) and not so much recently, I found it very hit and miss.

    The funniest bits were in the trailer and because I'd seen them all before, they didn't raise much of a laugh.

    As Matias Wrong Hairstylist said, Ribisi was great.. although under-used, although it did go with the role.

    Don't know - definitely a tad disappointed!

    Just see it recently and this sums up my thoughts.

    I failed to get one single laugh from this garbage. What is it with comedy today and vulgarity. What is funny with it? Coarse language and vulgarity for the sake of it is just pathetic. The odd swear word here and there can add a lot to a line or a story, but this was just OTT for no reason other than to be OTT.

    Can anyone explain or show me the funny bits?

    For some reason, I doubt explaining or showing them will do any good

    I thought it was a decent film with some laughs but the love for it by some really is quite ridiculous I listened to a few people wax lyrically about it the weekend as if it was the best fim of 2012.

    IMDB is 50/50. Many thought it was great and many thought it was absolute dirt. I found it to be quite desperate. Overly offensive, but not at all funnily offensive. Ther was no subtle humor whatsoever.

    You do know who Seth MacFarlane is, right?

    Not really.
    We've seen plenty of incidents of good, subtle humor from him.

    But I think he got carried away with the concept of crossing the innocence of a childs toy with balls to the wall vulgarity.

    I've tried to watch this twice now but I can't get passed 10 minutes without imagining all the characters from Family Guy because of the voices.

    Awfull drivel, it was like a bad episode of FG, and I did love FG (at least from S1-S4 , and then a few decents eps scattered here and there)

    OTT just for the sake of it, for OTT to be funny the centered joke needs to be too !!

    All the funny parts are in the trailer ..

    1/10

    rubbish

    Giving it 1/10 is just stupid. You even said yourself that "All the funny parts are in the trailer" so you're admitting that there are funny bits in it. It's not the film's fault that you saw the trailer.
