i think that is the whole point.

have you ever seen family guy?

have you seen how they make brian out to be both human, but also be very dog like? he can go driving and go out and party, but then turn on a vacuum cleaner and he goes crazy like a dog does.

it's a similar idea imo, where he is "banging" a chick one scene, then the next scene they show him as a teddy bear.

it is 100% apparent that this movie is not for someone like you who is going to analyze the hell out of this movie. nothing is wrong with that, just that you most likely are not the target demographic for this movie.

I like Family Guy but yeah, I see what you're saying. It's basically just a drawn out episode of Brian the dog + some vulgarity for shock value. However, Family Guy is a cartoon and this supposed to be portrayed as a story with more realistic elements (i.e. real humans in real life scenarios). Hence why I desired more consistency than a cartoon. But to each their own, some are more easily entertained than others which is what this movie caters to (lowest common denom).

Wow, please get over yourself. You're seriously one of those people that thinks if you don't enjoy something, people that do are beneath you?

What are you upset about? Fact of the matter is that Seth M caters to the lowest common denominator and he does have some funny stuff like Family Guy. This movie doesn't live up to that IMO, just like Louis CK's show didn't live up to his standup. You can disagree all you want, it's a free country. However, critics rated Magic Mike, Brave, and Madagascar 3 ahead of Ted if that tells you anything.

Well Ted beat them at the box office if that tells you anything. And I fell asleep during Brave on the same drive in trip.

And the porn industry makes more than the NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA, and all pro sports in the world combined if that tells you anything about why Ted and Magic Mike were 1-2 at the BO.

I'm annoyed that you think you are so important that you set the standard of what people should and shouldn't like.

Yeah, he needs to stop while he's this far behind. No use making yourself look like an even bigger douchebag, dude.

wait, whats your point?

You really don't get it?

Others in the thread, I don't set any standards, people who get paid to critique movies do. And they all said that Magic Mike, Brave, and Madagascar 3 were better. I agreed with them and would have rather listened to Afro Circus from Madagascar on repeat for 2 hours vs Ted; they're both on the same level of stupidity.

I forget where I saw it, but I recall reading some interesting comments about the CGI bear prior to seeing the movie. Apparently, they used some rather fancy CGI tech (usually used with the fancier action movies) to handle Ted, and I have to say... "he" looked rather good throughout the movie.

Have you seen Lucky Louie which was only around for 1 year. That show was funny as fuck.

Fucking hilarious movie!

Probably one of those movies you can only muster to watch once. But, still, funny to no end!

As for SP33Demon, go analyze your "great great movie" Prometheus some more. Now *that* was one with characters who pander to the lowest-common denominator. "I was scared shitless by a pile of dead bodies! Oh look, here is a creature that looks, acts, and sounds like an agitated cobra snake. I will stick my finger in its mouth."

Ted delivered exactly what it was supposed to deliver.

Good point.

Ted, has even got decent reviews from the majority of critics.

That BO collections do not say squat about how good the movie is.

So did Prometheus.. how does that make it a good point?

So.. a cliched plot + unfunny comedy makes it a win? Yeah, that sounds like lowest common denominator to me.

Um, he feared for his life after being kidnapped. If that's not a good enough reason to kick ass, then wtf. And I still don't get how he banged the slut after admitting he didn't have a penis. At least give the fucking thing a magical prosthetic boner if we're going to suspend disbelief.

I believe a rather long vegetable was mentioned in the dialog.
