Loud Night

Alot of things happened in this episode. Because it was Christmas the father makes a wish & has a toy truck come to life. Ted thinks he's Jesus after going to church & the cousin comes out as lesbian. The father has a disagreement with her over it which later gets figured out. This one was probably my least favorite so far but I think the toy truck was pretty funny.

This series has been incredibly amusing so far, but this episode took a disappointing turn. When I watch shows like Ted, I'm seeking entertainment and escape from political discussions. However, this episode seemed more like a platform for the writers' political views rather than genuine entertainment or comedy. It felt forced and out of place in the context of the season. While the rest of the season has been fantastic, this episode was a letdown due to its heavy-handed political messaging. If the creators want the show to thrive and secure another season, they should focus on more suitable storylines for the characters instead of injecting unnecessary politics into every aspect. It's important for everyone to have their own opinions, but I prefer not to feel like I'm being brainwashed while watching a comedy series.

Heads up, if you found this entertaining put down the crack pipe and check into rehab.

This father character is such a tired cliche it's just lazy writing.

After watching this garbage episode, I'm rethinking about this show. I mean a talking Ted bear is one thing but a talking trunk. Just when you thought modern comedy couldn't get any lower on the IQ scale, this sets the bar lower than I ever thought possible. Based on this episode alone they should cancel the series. This show seems to just get worse as the episodes go on. I won't know if that's true cause I've given up on this show after this train wreck of an episode. Everyone involved should be ashamed.

This episode was terrible. I've enjoyed most of this show, but this was complete trash ruined by current day politics. This takes place in the 90's, but we get rhetoric and buzzwords that weren't prevalent in that decade. No matter how hard they try to mask it with references to Bill Clinton, it still comes off as current day and it completely takes me out of the universe this show sets up. They treat issues like gay rights and execute it in a way that's very 2024. Did anyone say fluid in the 90's? Doubt it.

The problem isn't even that this episode got political. The anti-conservative snark was a little annoying, but it's par for the course with Seth shows and I can let it slide if it's funny, but this episode wasn't. It was very preachy and portrayed in a way that's not realistic in this show's climate. If you wanted this show to tackle current day politics, maybe don't make this show take place in the past.

It feels like a strong case of not knowing your audience as every episode before this one plays off as a funny, care-free comedy that comes off as a more of a feel-good comfort show with some of that trademark politically incorrect humor that Seth MacFarlane is known for. Then 6 episodes in, we get this botched attempt at social commentary. Now there were a few off-hand remarks delving into politics before, but they were small jokes and they didn't really feel all that out of place to me. They were jokes and I laughed, but here it felt like a preachy lecture and feels like it went against the tone the show was setting up.

Started off funny, but the more it went on, it devolved into preachy garbage. I really hope this episode was just a fluke because this was pretty bad.

The show is at its best when it sticks to the raunchy teen jokes. The heavy handed social commentary is such a buzzkill. It's like AI is generating the plot and dialogue using 1970s All in the Family episodes and throwing in some F-bombs. Would not be surprised to hear the dad start calling his niece Meathead.
