Better Off Ted: What's so f'ing funny?

With the way press tour is going (I'm going to spend half the day either interviewing HBO people or attending HBO sessions), I'm not sure when I'm going to have time to get to the second of Tuesday night's two "Better Off Ted"s, let alone to write about either one. And with the NBC Thursday comedies coming up tonight, I think I'm better off just giving up on finding the "Ted" time (I'll watch the second ep eventually) and letting you guys discuss them both.

Also, in case you haven't seen it, you must check out this collection of outtakes from the first episode, in which the actors are encouraged to use real, filthy, incredibly NSFW profanity.

Based on everything that's been said at press tour - Steve McPherson at ABC doesn't think it's compatible with the Wednesday comedies and therefore probably won't try it there, and Fox (the only other network with any reason to save it, since their studio owns it) isn't interested - "Ted" is sadly doomed. But at least we get to enjoy it while all the episodes are airing.

What did you guys think?
