Finally checked this out just now. I wasn't expecting a classic but I was suprised by how unfunny it was. Very dissapointing.
I don't think Roger Ebert has any credibility anymore for the rating he gave this.

I think I'm going to have to see things for myself. The opinions I've heard about the movie have been pretty conflicting.
Are you usually a fan of Seth Macfarlane's work? I've heard that may have an effect on if you enjoy the movie or not.

I saw it for the first time a couple of weeks ago and thought it was good. I've seen funnier comedies in the last few years but I still enjoyed Ted.
Why doesn't Ebert have any credibility for giving it a good rating? Last time I checked it was pretty well received critically (around 70% on Rotten Tomatoes).

Eh, that was more or less a joke, but I really can't see how he could have scored this so high.
The final joke in the film is basically "haha don't these celebrities suck!".

If your a Family Guy fan than your going to love it.
If your not than stay away.
That's the impression I get from most people that have seen it and I tend to agree.
I thought it was ok personally, not as hilarious as some made it out to be, some bits made me laugh but in general not a movie I would rush back to watch again.

Can't convince myself to even give this a chance.

I always say it but the movie kept saying it's joke in a way that said "THIS IS FUNNY ISN'T IT, HAHAHA" instead of just showing funny things. It was really annoying, especially Stewart's narration, which sucks since I love Patrick.

That was Patrick Stewart? Jesus that's depressing.

I enjoyed it, but I also enjoy American Dad. My favourite jokes were pretty much everything aimed at the fat kid (Including the credits gag) and anything involving Flash Gordon!

Although I really enjoyed it. It's one of those "background" movies I'll just throw on when I'm doing something else. Although there were a couple jokes I even thought was terrible. "Airplane!" manatee joke, I'm looking right at you. |

and apparently they're making a Ted 2 Makes sense considering it recently cleared $300 million in worldwide gross. Good golly. |

It's the highest grossing original R-rated comedy ever, beating the first Hangover. Not just that, but I'm pretty sure that got him the Oscars gig. |

I'm probably about to confuse some people.
I thought 'Ted' had a good, original story but nothing about it was funny. The plot itself was pretty creative, but absolutely none of the jokes landed for me. And this comes from somebody who still qualifies himself as a 'Family Guy' fan.

I thought it was f***ing terrible. There were some things that made me laugh, but I would never watch it again.

Almost rented it last night on Xbox video. I'm not that big of a Family Guy fan anymore though so I figured I probably wouldn't like it so I went with Seven Psychopaths instead. I did enjoy that.

I think I have the Cartman syndrome where my sense of humor is similar to McFarlane's so it negates a lot of the jokes so I didn't really like it.

Everyone has told me that it's funny and great, but they also told me Superbad was funny and great too... Oh how they were wrong.  |
