If you are an adult male watching movie with one or more of same, it's hilarious!

Rating: 8/10 (20 February 2020)

I've been a fan of Seth McFarlane's animated comedy shows as a great, end of the day escape, turn off the brain and laugh at how silly we are when we try to take ourselves too seriously. As a middle-age, middle-class American man, the humor and even cultural references hit my funny bone.
Ted has some similar hooks, like the self-deprecating, lovable loser "head of household"- John Bennett in Ted, although not yet married with kids, is a bit like Peter Griffin in Family Guy or Stan Smith in American Dad. John's quirky friendship with his childhood teddy bear Ted, who has magically come to life, is funny by nature much like the Griffins with their dog Brian in Family Guy, or the Smiths and their "pets" (or hostages) Roger the alien and Claus the fish in American Dad. Rather than these "pets" being simply cute and innocent, they cuss, have sex, and sometimes seriously screw with the lives of their owners.
McFarlane must have realized A cute stuffed animal can get away with saying things or doing things that would seem disturbed, vulgar, or prejudiced if done by a person, and McFarlane gets a lot of mileage out of that setup!
After Ted gets a job at the grocery store, there is a hilarious progression with Ted talking back to his boss and (literally) screwing around while on the clock, and it results in his boss promoting him. There is satire throughout the movie on how the characters relate to their work, and the power relationship between bosses and workers. Lori and John's bosses have inflated view of the social status bestowed on them via their job title, not realizing no one else takes them seriously. John needs to get serious about work and can't conceive that maybe hanging out with his teddy bear and getting high might be screwing up his life!
Meanwhile Ted could care less about work, but gets away with everything and even get promoted.
Another funny scene is when John and Lori come back from a nice dinner and Ted is partying in the apartment with a group of prostitutes, as Ted sits on the couch surrounded by these scantily-clad women he says something like, "somewhere there is a group of horrible, deadbeat fathers out there I'd like to thank for giving me this night with you girls." This little sociological insight is actually kind of sad, but it comes across as hilarious when spoken by this cute little teddy bear.
Beneath the surface of funny lines and sight gags there is this layer of comedy about social class and conflict, dead-end jobs, relationships, and even sociopathic over-indulgent parenting.
Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis both gave solid performances, also want to mention Jessica Barth in perhaps the best performance in the movie as Ted's girlfriend Tami-Lynn.
