Seth McFarlane's Ted (2012)

[wataru]

Boogie Nights was more about Burt and Julianna Moore then Mark. Mark was just the cute baby-face cock-stallion. He couldve been replaced by anyone - like Matt Damon or Leo and it wouldnt have mattered.

Who cares who the movie was more about? Either way, Marky Mark still gave a damn good performance. Also if the role was played by Matt Damon or any one else, I don't think that character would have been the same. Mark fit the role perfectly.

"...something big?"

"Anal?"

LOL CLASSIC!

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...

So basically you're saying using subjects almost EVERY comedian uses in their routines is a bad thing?

:/

I never realized Seth McFarlane was the only person to make skreeonk' sex jokes.

Seth McFarlane's become predictable. And he beats a dead horse rather well.

That's his problem.

I don't think the problem is that we watch too much Seth McFarlane, but that there is just too much of Seth McFarlane in existence. Seven Seasons of American Dad!, Four seasons of The Cleveland Show and Ten seasons of Family Guy on channels like Cartoon Network, Fox, TBS, etc. Even if you don't like Seth McFarlane's work (which I don't anymore), he's still everywhere.

You can try to avoid him, but you'll still run into one of his shows while you're channel surfacing one night.

Also, I don't pirate anything, nor do I own any DVDs of his work. I only like to own copies of movies/tv shows that I actually enjoy.

Doesn't look that bad to me.

Mila Kunis mmmmm.

Mila Kunis mmmmm.

I'll admit, I have a huge crush on Mila Kunis, especially after her role in Black Swan. But, from what I can tell from the trailer, having her present doesn't make the film any better.

Like I said in my first post: No amount of Mila Kunis's ass will get me to go see this.

Seth should just stick with TV from now on. This is going to be horrible.

[Spirit Ghidorah 2010]

Seth should just stick with TV from now on.

Or just stop altogether.

But then Fox won't have a Sunday night lineup! :O

[UltramanGoji]

Ted sounda way too similar to Peter Griffin.

Seth shoulda just used his regular voice.

I'm not sure he even has one anymore lol.

Really? I thought Brian was his regular voice.

It is.

I'm just going to say that Seth doesn't have a FULL choice on the matter when it comes to the similarity in setup between shows. When Fox courted Matt Stone and Trey Parker in 1997, they turned down South Park because they felt comedies should be about families - mind you, the only comedies Fox had in 1997 were The Simpsons and King of the Hill, the latter of which had yet to premiere. (That and they hated Mr. Hankey.)

So Seth isn't recycling material completely over his own fault. In fact, I'd say the real problem is his lack of focus - he has three programs on at once, and this multi-focus is hurting his involvement. He only really reads lines for American Dad! anymore and The Cleveland Show is really ran by Mike Henry, not Seth. Not to mention, Seth's also making The Flinstones and TED, so it's obvious his better material isn't going into his existing stuff.

But you'll be pleased to know American Dad! is probably on it's way out within the next year or two. Fox has been very quiet about it lately. TCS is sticking around and Family Guy I think will end after the current contract - Seth admitted months ago he feels like it should end he's doing a movie and stated a long time ago his desire was to transition Family Guy from television to movies at some point.

All ideas decay over time.

I agree with GXG: Why the swearing? Why the obscenitity? Jus to court in dopey teenagers who get to use the F-word for the first time in public, and don't care what other people think about them.

God, to think I used to be in those people...*shudder*

Meh some people here are too young but Im around Seth's age. So are a few other members. We cuss alot. We didnt cuss for the giggle-giggle-tee-hee! reasons. It's just how I (and others) spoke growing up in the age of 80s and 90s action flicks.

That doesn't make swearing funny though. The trailer was trying to make it's audience laugh by having the swearing teddy bear, when it just isn't funny. You gotta have something more to it than just a swearing teddy bear for that to be funny, otherwise I just tilt my head in confusion at Ted.

[wataru]

People find Family Guy funny. People find Seth McFarlane funny. These people, and some others, will find this funny. I find it funny because a teddy bear normally isnt acting like a mid-30s foul mouthed lazy no-direction bum.

You just dont find it funny. This is very similiar to Paul (2011) with the CGI talking alien voiced by Seth Rogan. THAT was funny and it made oodles of money.
