Childish, crude for no reason, could have been so much better

Rating: 4/10 (6 July 2012)

I can't stand Seth MacFarlane so I guess I am to blame for not really liking this movie. As with other MacFarlane entities this one has the same non sequitur, completely random head scratching references in jokes that just fall flat. It's not that I don't get them, its just that they don't fit the context. At one point Ted the Bear sets up his own joke just to use a Pink Floyd lyric reference in which he actually has to say it's from PF so that the 90% of the people in the audience who didn't memorize The Wall are somewhat informed. The entire movie is circled around the Flash Gordon movie from 1980, which is real topical, and I'm sure most of the lines go right over anyone's head under age 35.
There is so much cursing in this it's becomes awkward, I could see people squirming at the disgusting jokes, which I have no problem with as long as they are funny, these weren't. Many homophobic and anti- Semitic references for some reason, more nervous laughter from the audience.
I actually felt like leaving I was so bored. About 3 funny jokes in the whole thing and one of those was a fart. There was a fat couple sitting near me who laughed out loud all through the last 15 min of the movie, at what I don't know. Maybe they dropped acid before the show. These are the same people who keep Family Guy on the air.
Not for kids under 15.
