    Slightly, but I still would have found it stupid. But yeah, right now it feels like 'HAI GUYZ, I made a funny joke. In case you are missing it, I am going to tell you the joke now!'...

    I just love the sweet irony that this entire post is dripping with, so I had to quote it.

    As for my repsonse to devie's giant balls, I both chuckled and cringed at the same time. Devie's Balls was just the cherry on top of Bay filling what could have otherwise been a very decent movie with nothing but vulgar and juvenile humor.

    Mmm, probably. If they had put Devs even further I guess it would be better, but it's still stupid. Robot testicles?

    Oddly enough, I found pretty funny the scene where Bumblebee cries when Sam tells him to go away. It's stupid, but it's not crass, so it works (for me anyway).

    You've gotta move past the knee-jerk leaping to defend every perceived slight against BayFormers and just see the joke thought of having giant balls shoved in your face while watching a film.
    Someone at the cinema saying "Aww come on, seriously" at the balls doesn't make them a prude as was said by iheartarcee, but as that's supporting the balls (there - another little joke. Given time you'll learn to spot them in my posts and not get so heated) that's not over-exaggerating at all then I guess.

    I find balls funny. Apparently you find balls funny. I don't see why you're so bent out of shape as we're in agreement over balls and their funny. It's not like I'm asking you anything as deadly internet serious as having to pick a G1 name from a list to be in the next movie.

    I just chuckled. Of course, my dad was with me so I couldn't laugh out loud.
    Bacause if they were ticketed for that, at least 1/3 of the world would be ticketed. In todays standerds.

    I didn't laugh because it wasn't funny in that context. In context, like Leo tazing himself, they get a guilty chuckle. This was just a poor taste joke that takes away from the scene. Could have just had him say "I am directly below target". Scene over, queue Deus Ex Railgun.

    It was like a horrific train wreck that somehow winds up amusing.

    It didn't kill the movie for me, though.

    Yes. They were a very funny part of the movie. I respect the opinions of others, but I do not share them.

    This was more or less my reaction.

    I too knew about it going in before hand, so it wasn't something that took me off guard. I do remember my reaction when I first heard about it was: "Uh oh...The fan boys arn't gonna like that."
    Also by some of the complaints I had heard about it, I had half expected them to actually look like huge testicals with big vain like cables hanging off them, and it was going to be a 20 minuet long scene of Devastator teabagging someone to death.
    But no, they were just a couple of wrecking balls. Yup...It was a visual pun.

    I don't argue that it wasn't dumb, it was a cheap gag. The movie could have done without it.(Along with a few other things.) I can understand why fans would feel it as being a rather disrespectful thing to do to a fan favorite character.
    But that said, it still wasn't really something worth getting angry over either.
