If you like Ted and its hilarious, foul-mouthed humor, you’re in for a treat with other comedy movies that bring the same wild, sarcastic energy.
Films like The 40-Year-Old Virgin serves up laughs with an awkward but lovable main character, while Friday (1995) delivers unforgettable one-liners and an epic day of mischief in the neighborhood.
And if offbeat family antics are your thing, Dirty Grandpa (2016) will have you cringing and laughing as things get out of control. These movies all bring the same no-holds-barred comedy that made Ted so fun!
The 40-Year-Old Virgin
Meet Andy Stitzer, a nice guy with a not-so-secret secret: he’s 40 and still a virgin. His life is pretty quiet—he’s got a cozy apartment filled with action figures, a steady job at an electronics store, and a predictable routine. But when his buddies at work find out about his, let’s say, “unique” situation, they make it their mission to help Andy “fix” it. The problem? Andy’s not exactly jumping at the chance to change his ways, leading to some hilariously awkward and cringe-worthy moments that make you question if they’re helping or just making things worse.
As Andy gets dragged through a series of misguided dating advice, wild nights out, and increasingly bizarre encounters, he finally meets someone who might be the real deal. But with his well-meaning but clueless friends in his ear, Andy’s journey toward potential romance is anything but smooth. Will Andy’s life remain as untouched as his action figure collection, or will he finally take the leap into the world of adult relationships? The suspense is real, but the laughs are even bigger.
Knocked Up
Imagine having a one-night stand with a stranger and waking up a few weeks later to find out you’re about to become a parent. That’s exactly what happens to Alison, an ambitious entertainment journalist, and Ben, a lovable slacker with zero life plans beyond his next bong hit. After a night of drunken fun, Alison discovers she’s pregnant—definitely not part of her five-year career plan. And Ben? Well, he’s just as shocked and completely unprepared for the whole “dad” thing.
As these two polar opposites try to navigate their unexpected journey together, chaos ensues. From awkward doctor visits to hilariously disastrous attempts at cohabitation, Alison and Ben struggle to find common ground while grappling with the reality of becoming parents. They may be stuck together by fate, but the real question is whether they can turn this wild ride into something resembling a family. One thing’s for sure: it’s going to be a bumpy, yet laugh-filled, road to parenthood.
Role Models
Meet Danny and Wheeler, two guys who should probably have “bad role model” stamped on their foreheads. After a wild day promoting an energy drink goes horribly wrong, these two overgrown man-children find themselves in deep trouble, and the only way out is to do community service at a mentorship program called Sturdy Wings. But mentoring kids? Not exactly their forte.
Danny gets stuck with Augie, a socially awkward teen obsessed with medieval role-playing, while Wheeler is paired with Ronnie, a foul-mouthed kid who’s got a serious attitude problem. Cue the chaos. From disastrous attempts to bond with their mentees to utterly failing at basic adulting, Danny and Wheeler stumble through this whole “being responsible” thing with about as much grace as a bull in a china shop. The question is: will they crash and burn, or somehow find a way to become the role models they never thought they could be?
Big Daddy
Meet Sonny Koufax, a guy who’s perfected the art of avoiding responsibility. He’s 32, lives off a legal settlement, and spends his days doing absolutely nothing—unless you count napping on a pool float as something. But life takes a sharp turn when a five-year-old boy, Julian, shows up at his doorstep, supposedly the son of Sonny’s roommate. Instead of calling child services like any sane person would, Sonny decides to keep the kid, thinking, “How hard could it be?”
Turns out, raising a kid is a bit more complicated than ordering takeout. From teaching Julian how to pee on a restaurant wall to letting him choose his own ridiculous name, Sonny’s parenting style is, well, unconventional at best. As he fumbles through diaper disasters and awkward school drop-offs, Sonny starts to realize that maybe this whole “dad” thing isn’t as easy as he thought. But with his slacker ways clashing with the responsibilities of fatherhood, you can’t help but wonder—how long can this chaos last before it all blows up in his face?
Dirty Grandpa
Meet Jason Kelly, a straight-laced lawyer whose life is on track—until his retirement-happy grandpa, Dick, decides to spice things up. Freshly widowed and ready to make up for lost time, Grandpa Dick drags Jason on a wild road trip to Florida, where the only thing more outrageous than his dance moves are his adventures in dating. The catch? Jason’s got to put his meticulously planned life on hold while Grandpa parties like it’s 1969.
What starts as an eye-roll-inducing trip soon turns into a hilarious rollercoaster of debauchery and awkward family bonding. From surprise visits to tattoo parlors to encounters with questionable life choices, Grandpa Dick is on a mission to reclaim his lost youth, dragging Jason into every misadventure. As the chaos unfolds, you’ll be on the edge of your seat wondering just how far Grandpa will go to relive his glory days.
And there you have them, folks, the best raunchy comedy movies you should see today if you like Ted.
