Seth McFarlane's Ted (2012)

Postby Hellspawn28 » Mon Apr 02, 2012 8:23 pm

The trailer for Seth McFarlane's first major movie has been released and it will be even starring Mark Wahlberg as well.

I do find the trailer funny and does look better then some of the newer episodes of Family Guy. I might see it with a group of friends since it looks like a good time at the movies.

....Yeah, no.

The trailer looked fine until the bear started swearing. From there, it all went down hill.

I'll be skipping out on this movie. No amount of Mila Kunis's ass is going to get me to go see Seth McFarlane's shit.

So like all movies based on TV shows, this will just be a 90 minute episode.

Because everything Seth McFarlane does it just a repackaged Family Guy.

It's a joke.

Now laugh.

ha-HA!

Looks like a joke trailer you'd see on SNL or something. It is rather disturbing that McFarlane continues to have a career...

it looks funny, kind of.

I'll probably rent it.

One thing I hate is the bear sound EXACTLY like Peter... ontop of the "FROM THE MAKERS OF FAMILY GUY" slapped right on the beginning, it just seems bad...

I actually suspect the drop in Family Guy quality is probably because of MacFarlane's focus on Ted - he probably doesn't have the time to sit through every writer's meeting anymore and comes over and just reads his lines, like he's done on American Dad! since the beginning, and the Cleveland Show since it "took off".

A little surprised there's been so much negativity so far. MacFarlane deserves a little bashing around but I'm still fairly used to him getting it even both ways.

The trailer looked fine until the bear started swearing.

I... don't see why that part matters.

It matters, because that's where the trailer gets awful. Why does the bear need to swear? How is that funny? Why am I watching this? These are the questions that a swearing bear raises.

People find it funny because it's about a talking teddy bear who does drugs and references sex.

I ask again: How is that funny? How is a teddy bear who does drugs and makes sex references funny? That's not funny. That's just disturbing.

It's funny because teddy bears don't normally swear or reference drugs/sex in real life! And since this teddy bear is doing things that a normal teddy bear doesn't do, that makes it absolutely hysterical!

Oh wait, no, it's just a sorry vapid attempt at humor.

Why does a bear need to watch his language?

I can totally see how it's disturbing actually, and to some degree, do agree with you, it's just an oddly-worded complaint is all. And really, if you already knew the plot of the movie, it should've been obvious - it's Seth MacFarlane. He doesn't just tone it down unless he's working on The Flinstones.

Here is the other trailer with some new scenes. I still think the movie looks funny and I plan to see it.

I never said that the bear needs to watch his language. I said that a bear that swears is more "Why am I watching this"-inducing, than it is funny (though using "funny" loosely, since this concept really isn't funny at all).

I can totally see how it's disturbing actually, and to some degree, do agree with you, it's just an oddly-worded complaint is all. And really, if you already knew the plot of the movie, it should've been obvious - it's Seth MacFarlane. He doesn't just tone it down unless he's working on The Flinstones.


...Okay, so what? Yeah, it's Seth McFarlane. Big deal. That doesn't change anything.

I think what he means is, that it's Seth Mcfarlane, do you really expect something better from him?

ALL of his comedies are the same.

Sex Jokes, racial slurs, sex jokes, physical humor, sex jokes...

You forgot gay jokes. And 1980s TV references no one gets.
