Ted
 
Went to see Ted this afternoon at LSL. For those who might be offended by profanity I would recommend that you not see this movie or bring any underage grandchildren with you. :swear: A couple of people walked out after 10 minutes or so. Normally I don't laugh out loud at a movie but this one was an exception. It cracked me up at times. One of the scenes is going to rank in the top 5 of my all time funniest scenes. That was when Ted was being interviewed by the grocery store manager for a job. Even now just thinking about it brings a grin to my face. It ranks right up there with the campfire scene from Blazing Saddles. If you're familiar with that scene you have an idea of my sense of humor. :1rotfl:

My friend's daughter and her boyfriend went to see it and they thought it was very funny.....on Long Island, the papers are saying it is very vulgar but hysterical....I think I may give it a try.

Some movies seem to go for the most vulgar language they can get away with and not get hit with an "X" rating. I enjoy these movies but understand that many probably will see it as too much.

Blazing Saddles is one of my favorite comedies.

Very funny-loved Ted!!!!
 
I saw Ted today at 10:40 AM. I have to say that I have not laughed this hard in years. It was nasty, raunchy, obscene and filthy. The film made fun of Jews, Middle Eastern people, gays, Christians, Indians and all others, (in case I forgot some).

I loved EVERY minute of it. I am not your run of the mill teenager. A woman, 58 yrs old, spending 12 years in the US Navy, nothing really offends me here. When I walked into the theater, there was a group of women seated above me, maybe 12 ladies. Unfortunately, they all walked out when Ted was being interviewed at the grocery store. I thought it was hilarious.

No sense of humor. If you go see it, be aware every other word is f**k, sh*t, and worse, but the jokes are so funny!

I now sing the Thunder Buddy song.

Thought it was hilarious. Wife and I also sing the "thunder buddy song". Great fun. Don't take life too seriously. imho...This was a great escape from the realities of life. i.e. politics, illnesses, ambulance chasing attorneys as seen on TV ads and anything else that might raise your blood pressure...:popcorn:

asianthree 07-10-2012 09:07 PM

ok now we have to go see it

graciegirl 07-11-2012 02:07 AM

I saw the trailer. That is one potty mouthed teddy bear....but it looked really funny.

I am gonna drag the crew to see it.

jblum315 07-11-2012 05:29 AM

I guess I have a dirty mind. I thought Bridesmaids was one of the funniest movies ever. The people with me were furious because I dragged them to see it. Now I need to see "Ted." Alone, I fear.

LittleDog 07-11-2012 05:37 AM

I'm going to see it again. I'm sure I'll enjoy it as much as the first time I saw it.

I understand completely. It is on the list of movies for us to see. I guess we share the same sense of humor!.

pooh 07-15-2012 02:39 PM

Mike and I just saw Ted...it was hilarious! Not for everyone I'm sure, but we enjoyed and it was laugh out loud for us, too.

joannej 07-15-2012 05:21 PM

I thought the movie was super vulgar and the only funny scenes were in the movie trailer. Stayed to the end, because I knew sooner or later Ted was going to get the stuffing beat out of him!! Worth it to watch that happen! Don't waste your money, IMHO.

DonH57 07-22-2012 09:21 AM

We went to see this movie last night and I have to say it was filled with what some would consider totally inappropriate themed humor. My stomach is so sore from laughing so damned hard. Funny movie.
