Racism through sarcasm.. if it's funny it must be true! anti-jewish, anti-islamic, disrespectful comments about Jesus and senseless hints about lots of different groups.. I think it was put on purpose, you can make money without slipping in those comments.

Any reviewer who gets bogged down in the supposedly 'racist', 'homophobic' or WHATEVER themes that are touched upon in this movie just clearly doesn't get it~ This is one of the funniest and sharpest movies that I HAVE EVER SEEN! Honestly~ Forget the P.C. goggles and just ENJOY - and if youdon't see something of yerself in this movie? Then, you don't get it (re. the above!0 And homo jokes ARE still funny - sorry guys - but for most people sodomy just ain't natural;nor will it ever be!

The problem with this film is not the directly damaging effects of its racism, homophobia, anti-islamic comments or any one of the multitude of tactless or inciteful gags... this film is clearly aimed at the generation of young, liberal minded adults and teenagers that actually appear to have a more accepting and global view than anyone of its predecessors... The politically incorrect mantra of seth Macfarlane and its success is only possible due to the desensitisation of the masses to whom nothing of this sort is taken seriously and while the desensitisation of young people is extremely worrying in some regards I believe that comedy really should have no boundaries as in the end making light of the world in all its forms without genuine animosity or predjudice is in itself a good thing. The issue with this film is that it makes cheap use of its incorrectness by merely referencing and name dropping without any substance whatsoever. As paradoxical as it sounds there is such a thing as tasteful bad taste and this film foregoes this completely. It is a symptom of our culturally vacant time that we are veering towards self-parody of our own culture as a defence mechanism against our lack of idea's and seth macfarland is at the forefront of this but while self parody can be incredibly funny and have some value, ted and family guy refuse to engage with anything they relate to... all this film contains is gross out humour which has lost all its edge due to over exhaustion and pop culture references which are as worthless and hollow as the film itself... in this way seth erects a mirror to show the banality of the void inherent in a large part of our creative output and society and then actively encourages us to join in while giving us the illusion of some kind of detachment. We are lead to believe that we are the ones above from all the stupidity in life and somehow enlightened when in actual fact we are watching a moronic, talking bear for an hour and a half. Even if my views so far are not a concern for you and unless you happen to find the idea of a lude bear in itself utterly hilarious you should not watch this film because unlike family guy it's comic timing is awful the jokes aren't even funny in a brainless kind of way and it concludes with half an hour of unadulterated sap worthy of the most disarmingly dull chick flick.

I have just turned TED firmly off after hearing the so called 'jokey' reference to Parkinsons. I have Parkinsons and I can assure you that it is far from funny. I know it would be more 'cool' to be able to laugh and a few years ago I would have joined in. Not any more. I was surprised at the opening references to beating up Jewish kids. My partner, who is Jewish, laughed like a drain but then, being Jewish hasn't drastically affected his quality of life and isn't putting him at risk of having Alzheimers or Dementia. Whoever wrote the TED script is an insensitive moron, But then I imagine it made loads of money and that's the point, isn't it.

Gremlins is much better than this rubbish.

I LOVE THIS FILM! Some rude parts hahaha,but some were hilarious (eg. Taylor Laughtner) totally recommend this. A lot of swearing though and nudeity ;) but its a great film if u wanna go for a good laugh.

Unbelievably crap. I wanted to walk out half way through but stayed to see if it got better however i was again disappointed. I cannot get my head around how this film has some 4 star ratings! What is funny about casual rascism? THE worst film i have ever had the misfortune to sit through. I would not watch this film again if you paid me.

Was a funny movie there s lots of warnings about the content in the ads n marketing !! If u like family guy you ll like it ! I'm Scottish and thought the meat hole pudding scene was hilarious. ! Some people taking everything too seriously .... It's a film at the end of the day it's not real ..... It's more of a Tom com for guys ! As the storyline is weighed on by walberg and kunis relationship ! Some of that story was a bit cheesy ! Laughed a lot throughout though ! Do did everyone else in the cinema !!!

em...just realised that it looks like I'm calling myself 'racist' in the posting below, when it's the film I'm saying is racist! oops.
