Charlie Haughy

I thought it was very funny anyway.

My friends FB status sums it up for me, we saw it in Aus this evening.

Well, Ted has to go down as the worst movie I've ever seen in a cinema. And I've even sat through Dear John of all things. It was like getting all the mongiest shows like two and a half men, how i met your mother and the big bang theory and smushing them all together to create one train wreck of a dribbler fest. 7.8 it got on IMDB as well!. And there were actually people near us that were laughing! One toothless hick even clapped in delight at one scene. Now i don't mind the people who like those shows, different strokes and all that. I might judge you a little but in the long run, its ok, I still like you. But I refuse to believe that anyone I know could find this movie in the slightest bit funny. Seth Macfarlane is just taking the piss at this stage. Now I know its not out yet in Ireland so nobody probably cares. But I can only assume there's been an inexplicably orgasmic reaction to the trailer like there was here. So if you feel compelled to put yourself through it, bring a bag of tomatoes and aim them at any witless turbomelt that dares laugh. No man, woman or child should find this funny. And yet they do. I really don't understand! I think this is the moment I've lost faith in all humanity...

Does your friend watch films with a smoking jacket while eating a crumpet?

Your friend's superiority complex has galvanised me into liking the film before I've even watched it.

I want to see Ted several times purely because of that hideous Facebook post.


Nice try Seth Macfarlane...

Tell your friend to go easy on the hyperbole in future, he makes him sound like an ass.

That's pathetic tbh.

I like your friend, CWF.

Seems like a right stand up fellow. I would like to hear some more of his ramblings, probably about how kids have nothing else to do but listen to their walkie talkies while playing the nintendo.



I dont think i'll be going to see this. My opinion of Seth Macf has declined since I seen his cavalcade of cartoon comedy dvd.

Yeah that was fairly hit and miss tbh, but the Fat Jesus skit was funny.

I might see this purely because of Mila Kunis :pac: is the bear voiced by the guy who does Peter in family guy?

Yes, also Stewie, Brian, Quagmire, and others. That's Seth MacFarlane.

Mila Kunis voices Meg
Patrick Warburton from Rules of Engagement voices Joe.

Both of these also appear in TED

bradknowell

Good few laughs in it in my opinion. Wasn't super or anything but I would recommend it for a few giggles.

cloud493

So its a family guy love fest :rolleyes: still the trailer was pretty funny.

Sappa

Watched this today,thought it was a funny flick with a few good one liners in it.

leggo

I liked it and this is from a guy who found Family Guy very old from around S4, so I'm no McFarlane fanboy.

Coulda done without it getting a bit over-dramatic in parts, just keep the plot light and a prop to tell more jokes, and keep it funny. At times it felt like it switched to a kids movie: overly-sentimental and mushy.

But there were enough genuine laugh out loud moments in it to forgive that. I'd watch a sequel. Still think 21 Jump Street is the funniest film of the year I've seen, but this would be second.

going see this for mila

Watched it last night here in Oz. Therewas some funny one liners, wahlberg did alright, kind of reminded me of his character in the other guys. Only annoying part was they threw most of the best gags into the trailer. Worth a watch anyway I.M.O

Yes Wahlberg's John reminded me also of his character from The Other Guys overall quite funny and loved

Ryan Reynolds cameo

Joel McHale is only ever not annoying in Community

IamMetaldave

Saw it last night in the Point Village Odeon. Few very funny parts. On a whole, it's a funny film, nothing to go mad about. Seth should stick to making Family Guy.

Ash.J.Williams

I enjoyed it, not a great movie but some great gags .. the cinema and myself were belly laughing throughout!!

coolisin

Just out of the today fm showing in the lighthouse, first time watching a flick there, my god the seats are comfy for 90mins!
Id sat down in them briefly while working at the JDiff for a few mins, never properly.

Thought it was good, some of the jokes i was laughing at i found the rest of the place didn't get.
I do think as a family guy fan it helps, was surprised by a few things, the changing lines from the trailer was a nice surprise.

good fun all the same!

Cantona's Collars

Some very funny 1 liners and scenes,a couple of predictable schmaltzy scenes but overall a decent comedy.

Ash.J.Williams

Yeah it no Oscar winner but some great understated gags that kept me belly laughing throughout. Best cameo ever.

Panthro

I thought it was pretty average overall. One or two good gags but meh it was watchable and that's about it.

CMpunked

Half decent movie, although i found it a little annoying as the funniest moment was at the end when Ted

Woke up supposedly all messed up from the stuffing put back in wrong.

Got the biggest laugh out of me anyway. Thought it could have been a lot funnier.

ShooterSF

I loved it. It was McFarlane at Season 1 through 3 of Family Guy imo. If you like that show back then and you haven't "grown up" you should enjoy this! Not sure if I need spoiler this but just to be safe:

Patrick Stewart is fantastic as the narrator and has strangely found, like his predecessor on Star Trek, that turning your character into a comedy version of himself works great!

Chazz Michael Michaels

Great film, really enjoyed it.

Mila Kunis is so ****in pretty...

stealinhorses

Quite predictable, but very funny in parts. Most of the funny stuff was in the trailer, but I enjoyed the banter between Ted and John, and the cameos were great. Overall, an enjoyable flick.

Mr E

I thought it would be funnier. It was a classic case of throwing jokes at the wall and seeing what sticks (which is similar to what FG/AD/TCS do).

Enjoyed it, though.
