The raunchy adult comedy “Ted” beat a pair of action films in pre-holiday sales of DVD and Blu-ray discs, with humor trumping the final installment of director Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy, “The Dark Knight Rises,” and newcomer “The Bourne Legacy” as well as the animated “Ice Age: Continental Drift.

Below are the 10 most sold and rented movie discs during the week ended Dec. 15 (sales) and 16 (rentals), according to Rentrak.

We’ve made a few thousand captures from the Blu-ray version of Ted. Go ahead to see Lori in some exclusive features – Alternate Takes, Deleted Scenes, Gag Reel and Making Of, or an extended wedding scene as well. And if you didn’t buy your own copy already, do it ASAP

Seth McFarlane’s directorial debut Ted, the raunchy comedy about a bong-smoking teddy bear starring Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis, has officially broken a box office record.

It is now (sort of) the highest grossing comedy of all time — except not really.

If we’re being technical, it’s actually the highest grossing non-sequel, R-rated comedy of all time… at the worldwide box office. That specific enough for ya?

Domestically, the highest-grossing original comedy is still The Hangover, which earned $277.3 million in the States in 2009 (Ted has found $218.5 million in the U.S.), but overseas, Ted shined brighter. Worldwide, Ted has now earned $469 million, surpassing The Hangover’s $467.5 million cume. And Ted still has four more international territories left to open: Malaysia, India, Venezuela, and Japan. A finish of about $500 million seems likely.

While Ted‘s grosses are impressive (especially considering its R rating), we should note that there are many comedies that have grossed much more than Ted around the world. There are many lucrative animated efforts like Toy Story 3 ($1.06 billion worldwide) and The Lion King ($951.6 million), as well as family friendly live-action titles like Men In Black ($589.4 million) and Night at the Museum ($574.5 million). And then, of course, there are sequels like The Hangover Part II ($581.5 million) and MIB 3 ($624.0 million).

Plus — and this should always be remembered when Hollywood is boasting about a new box office record — we’re not accounting for inflation here.

What have we learned? The international box office is booming, and Ted, which only cost $50 million, is Universal’s best performer in years.
