How and Why is Ted Post-Modern?
- It uses Flash Gordon references (including clips from the show/film and actually staring Sam Jones in the film.
-It refers to Tom Scarett throughout the film, who played Goose in Top Gun.
These two references come from 'camp' film and TV and together reference the idea that men tend to like these camp characters/films even though they will deny it. This is juxtapositioned against the vulgar and dirtyness of the Ted character.
