I did expect it, and I initially did not want to watch it buy my friends wanted to watch it and they won :( As a person who enjoys Family Guys and that type of humor, I can say that I enjoyed it quite a bit. Just saw it earlier today myself. The humor didn't kill itself through the movie by becoming repetitive like many TV Humor does when translating to the much longer version on the big screen. So to at least enjoy it if not like it a lot more, it seems a matter of whether you like the type of humor or not.
Meh I don't find the Family Guy humor all that funny, the show is astronomically overrated. Would rather watch Pixar's Brave or even Madea to be honest.

I thought it was pretty funny. With Macfarlane you know what you're getting: crude humor, pop culture references, and a few cutaways. I actually cared about the characters and that's more than I can say for other comedies.

+1, family guy has gone so downhill since the first 3-5 seasons. it's not funny at all anymore.
It was pretty much what I expected, and I had a fun time. It was very Family Guy-esque, but I didn't mind at all. That being said, I'm not a huge Family Guy fan, but I enjoy it in small doses.
I avoid anything that Seth Macfarlane has made, except for maybe some American Dad episodes. I really hate Family Guy and the Cleveland Show, terrible overrated shows.
''how can you hate a show??'' you might ask. Well, it keeps getting aired on Comedy Central while other great shows could've been aired instead.
But as for the movie, I might watch it for free when I'm very drunk. Otherwise not.
I loved it. Seth Macfarlane is a genius. Unfortunatly this is turning into another thread with people whining about family guy going down hill. I think its funny how people complain about all the cutaways, the crude humor ect. I guess what I would suggest to all of those people is they either watch something else or grow a pair and do something like Seth did and start his own show from scratch, coming up with character designs and doing the voices of multiple characters. I mean its probably not too hard for some of you who seem to have a much better sense of what a funny cartoon would be.
Also, Macfarlane is worth over $100M so clearly what hes doing is working. And if I was him, I would use it as a tool to voice my opinions too with a lil Pat Tillman tackled by his own team humor for good measure. Whammy.
I'm not a fan of crude humor or pop culture references but my friends wanted to see it. We all walked out a bit disappointed. It felt like a long, coherent, and "good" episode of Family Guy. That in turn explains all it's shortcomings and merits. It made me laugh two or three times and the fact it was coherent kept me interested (unlike Family Guy) but the humor itself was about as dry and uninspired as it always is with Seth McFarlane. His jokes aren't even jokes. He just references something in pop culture negatively and suddenly it's funny to some people. You can get the same laughs from reading Youtube comments.
I do like the political undertones of some of his shows (especially American Dad - by far his best work yet if you look at the later seasons), but for the most part the humor in the references is lost on me. I'd give Ted a solid 2 stars out of 4.
I went to see Ted last Friday but there was a power outage in the middle of the movie, so I didn't get to finish it. I got a free ticket to return, but I'm not sure if I want to go back and finish it.
Haven't seen it yet, not sure if I'm interested in seeing it or not. While Family Guy isn't that good currently, I find American Dad to be even worse, I really hate that show.
I'm not sure on it, Not a fan of Seth other than American Dad series 3 onwards but then again that is because he doesn't write for American Dad any more.
It was exactly what I expected it would be like, a long episode of Family Guy. And like a long episode of Family Guy, it got some good jokes in here and there, but had a lot of misses as well. It did however, manage to spread its hits throughout the whole film, instead of fizzling out towards the end (like many comedies that I've seen). All the actors seemed to be having a good time though, which is always a plus. I'd say if you are a fan of McFarlane's humor, and can get some buddies together to go see it, you should have a decently fun time. Anyone who doesn't fit those categories, or is expecting anything resembling a smart or innovative comedy, will be severely disappointed.
