Is 'We've got' grammatically correct?

'We have got' doesn't seem right.

Seems redundant without the contraction, but it's definitely part of everyday conversation.

If it's got meaning 'to have,' then it's redundant. "We have got ice cream."
If it's got meaning 'to reach a state,'
then it's incorrect. "We have got laid by your mom."
It should be "We have gotten laid by your mom."
If it's got meaning 'to reach a state,'
then it's incorrect. "We have got laid by your mom."
It should be "We have gotten laid by your mom."

Yes, it's acceptable but a more informal usage - according to the internet.

Depends on what part of the country you're in.

We've got to do something about this!

Good enough for Strother Martin.

have is present tense, got is past tense. That seems to be problematic to begin with. I'm going with it being improper.

Is this from the Verizon billboard in BR? I shake my head at it every time

Grammatically correct or not, I wouldn't use it in a professional setting.

"We've done gots" is grammatically correct.

I've seent it used both ways.

No, it is not grammatically correct. It might be "acceptable" slang....but slang is not proper grammar, that's why it's slang.
