Watching your kids belly laugh...


is one of the coolest things you'll ever do. When Ted pulls into the Rental Car lot and hits the parked car I thought my 10 year old was going to cough a lung up.

He didn't like the last half hour, but then, you know, he's 10.

You're a bad parent if you willingly let your children watch anything by Seth McFarland.

You, me or anyone here on IMDB are in no position to judge someone's parenting so just shut the hell up and stop being a PC goodey two shoes "I never make mistakes or do anything wrong in my life, I'm so perfect and you're not" idiot.

Lol, I didn't say I'm perfect or don't make mistakes. But if you're going to raise your children on Seth McFarlane you're going to have a stupid kid on your hands.

Why?
I mean everything the movie depicts are things that happen in life, that are in our reality a thing. What's so bad about "swear words"? You hear them everywhere all the time.
I never get the american prude thing about how the human body apparently is the most disgusting, shocking thing that nobody should ever see and how Sex is "dirty, naughty, sinful, disgusting, should only be done once a year in a completely dark room with prayers to the fairytale god afterwards because it's a sin".

I think raising your child in a realistic, modern manner, by showing him how we live is a lot better than pretending to live in a fairytale land where everything is shiny and nice because it was created by an imaginary god and all that *beep* you americans get raised on turning you all into quite dumb, backwards human beings.

We're on different pages here. I'm not saying letting your child hear profanity and see nudity will make them dumb, I'm saying raising them on Seth McFarland's brand of simple minded humor will.

reply

You make interesting points. For the record, we watched it together because we both find Seth MacFarlane funny, probably for different reasons, and I prefer if he's watching it on the sofa with me than locked in his room thinking its something he needs to hide.

As for my parenting skills and decision making, well, I get some right and some wrong. All part of the game, really.

So he let the kid watch one Seth movie, how does that mean he's raising the kid on Seth Movies? See you're just assuming things, for all we know OP could be one of the best parents in the world, or maybe he could be the worst. The fact is we're not going to find out which one he is on an IMDB forum.

True

I told him that and he said that you can go **** a ****ing big **** with a ****ing jackhammer.

I just don't know where he gets it from.

If he laughs at this movie he has no sense of humour - being 10 is no excuse.

reply

If you're 10 and you can't laugh at jokes about poo and crashing into stuff, then the worlds a pretty murky place, wouldn't you say?

You are a bad parent. You probably smoke and live in a trailer. The rest of us have to deal with you're kid in society and we don't need that and we're not going to spoil him like you. If you're not going to be a father to him, society is going to have to be, and the United States prison system sucks. Enjoy that criminal-in-training before his cellmate does.

reply

"you're" kid". Christ.

reply

LOL I don't know if a 10 year old should be watching this! But yes, I would imagine kids of 10 LOL-ing at it. Any younger than 7 or 8 wouldn't get the humor anyway.

I don't think any kid under 13 should be watching it, but I'm not slating you OP; that's just my opinion because of the content (drugs/F-bombs etc.)

Who - are, I logged in specifically to reply to your comment. I'm watching it with my eleven-year-old son we are having a blast! Your post was spot on!
