'Inventory' of what happens to Ted (possible spoilers)

Yes, this movie will not show up on anyone's "100 greatest movies" list, but it is one of my favorites.

Here is a point by point inventory of what happens to Ted, and please feel free to comment if there is something I missed.

* He gets shoved aside by a bully while trying to help Warren
* His back gets crunched by Warren hopping onto him for a horsey ride
* Warren does an airplane spin on him and then body slams him after he touches
Warren's ear
* He gets his testicles caught in zipper
* When the cop "unzips" him
* The paramedics carrying him out of the house where Mary lives with her parents
drop the gurney and he lands on his head
* The cop in South Carolina slams his head onto the interrogation table
* The whole scene with Magda's dog, where the dog drags him by the ankles and
bites at his crotch
* The "flog the dolphin" and hair gel scene
* He has to wear a Mary Kay inspired superhero outfit that is five sizes too
large
* A fishing hook gets caught in his cheek

Again, let me know if there's something I missed!

Nice job! I might have a couple suggestions.

It's pretty heavily implied that he was gang raped while in county lockup.

Also, when the paramedics dropped the gurney, he didn't land on his head, but rather he hurt his elbow.

That's all I can think of. Otherwise, well done!

Thank you. It's nice that somebody noticed this thread.

Yeah, he fell on his elbow more than his head when they dropped the gurney.

That's interesting about the lockup. The one guy was cuddling up to him and all the other jailbirds cheered him on when he left. So I guess there had to be a reason for that, right?

the jail scene reminded me of My Cousin Vinny. Anyone reading this who needs a good laugh, go watch, or most likely, re-watch, that movie! That movie, Bruno and Borat make me LOL more than any other movies.

I only saw this once years ago, but I don't remember that. I remember him being released from his cell and him "spooning" with another prisoner but nothing more than that unless I'm just not remembering (edited from TV cut?)

Nice thread.

Ted also throws out his back helping his boss' brother move. In fact, that's how he learns that "Mary's a fox" after seeing his doctor friend for his back.

Oops. Yeah! The guy in the wheelchair was pretty funny!
