I really liked Ted. More so than I like anything Seth McFarlane had done before or after. But, I am a fan of Marky Mark.

I thought Ted was pretty overrated. I liked the concept and the actors and everything but the movie just didn't have me laughing that often.

Thanks, I just saw the whole movie via that trailer.

I dislike trailers that tell the entire plot.

I like Ted a lot, but A Million Ways to Die in the West is the best thing he has ever done.

Every even remotely funny moment in A Million Ways was in the trailer. You could watch that for 3 minutes and not miss a single laugh. Ted, while weak in places, was a hell of a lot better that AMWTD although pretty much any episode of Family Guys is also a hell of a lot better than AMYTD, so that's not saying much.

I disagree. Well somewhat.

Every Family Guy-esc fart and pop culture level joke is in the trailer. For people who just wanted to watch a movie to see the same idiotic lowest common denominator ADHD clip comedy that has ruined the industry the trailer was it. Hence the box office flop.

Bur if you want to see jokes that require a little more buildup and a little slower pacing than can be crammed in a 30 second trailer the movie delivered. The movie is filled with timeless jokes that remind me of something Mel Brooks would do. There are tons of situation gags that wouldn't work without context, and jokes that will still be funny when no one knows any of the pop culture references of the day. It is the anti-Family Guy, his masterpiece, and its a damn shame no one appreciates it because we don't like a joke that is too big to stick on a Twitter feed.

Errr they recycled the family guy sperm donor skit ?
That's all Seth MacFarlane knows how to do, recycle, it's why Family Guy got old after the first season and all his movies suck because they are just Family Guy episodes.

Ted was pretty stupid, I didnt really find it that funny. It was just another cookie cutter "comedy" that hit all the right buttons and triggered all the right switches, it wasnt actually funny it just tried to be. For the record, I have the same opinion of family guy, that show just sucks.
