Reply to comment by kmsae in Seth MacFarlane's 'Ted' Prequel Series Wraps Production by singleguy79

I am of the same mind about marky mark but for one exception. His performance in The Other Guys is a master class of chewing the scenery. He hollers every one of his lines at the top of his lungs for the entire film. I thought it was a john waters movie because of the performances. Everyone was great but he really surprised me. Like Jason Statham in Spy, delivering jokes with perfect comedic timing. Sorry I’m way off topic.

I love how he can’t understand his girlfriend is a ballet dancer and not a stripper “You shouldn’t be in this club dancin for dollars”

Learning to dance ballet just to bully a kid. But still not understanding anything about it.

It’s interesting to me how the Other Guys was sort of the start of Adam McKay’s transition to the more political themes he’s been exploring with his career

It makes me miss Eva Mendes. It also rekindled my Michael Keaton crush.

It’s definitely the precursor to The Big Short given the Other Guys’ ending credits which gave a fun intro to how financial fraud works

I do hope he and Will Ferrel are able to reconcile, he did Will kinda dirty

I agree but I’m not sure I would ever take a time machine to change it if the path led to them producing “Succession”

The combination of a UK and US comedy genius definitely led to some incredibly funny but truly high art.

Other guys was his first comedy. I remember being surprised at how funny he was. Wouldn’t be shocked if he really gave it his all as a way to prove himself in that genre

Dude I laughed so fucking much in that movie, I even drooled on myself at one point.

The "I'm a peacock you gotta let me fly" and the whole screaming about the millennium falcon just damn near had me dead.

I laugh so hard at that line even before they explain that peacocks don’t fly. I’m not so clever so hearing that fact made it even funnier to me.
