Seth Rogen doesn't even do movies anymore does he? Only time I ever hear about him is political rants on Twitter. Why doesn't he take him up on his offer and defend his shitty views in an interview instead of the shield of only having to write 200 character snippets like a smartass.

He did this REALLY BAD movie about some jewish guy that fell into pickle brine..or broth...or juice, whatever it's called that comes out the vat of pickles and meets his contemporary relative (also played by Seth). Honestly, I know I wasted life on it. I feel remorse knowing I can't get time back. I wish we could sue Seth for all the shitty movies he's made.

All of Rogen and Apatow's funny movies would get both of them on the wrong side of cancel culture if they were made today, so they have to be aggressively woke to avoid their ire. Remember the transgender bit from 40 year old virgin? None of their "bro" comedy would make it now since they're too pussified these days.

This is the real reason. Well discerned.

It’s hard for me to believe that Seth Rogen gets high with his buddies in private and they are all completely on board with Bruce Jenner being the hottest woman around and NO ONE cracks a joke.

I guess it might be time to bring their anti woke past to the peoples attention

Go back and watch The Larry Sanders Show. Apatow was a writer on that show and you can really hear a lot of his style in it. A lot of the humor in that show was “politically incorrect” as well.

The Office too. I've been rewatching it and I used to love Steve Carell, but he went woke so I refuse to watch any of his new shit (and that new shit has been absolute trash, like that Space Force show on Netflix). The Office would never in a million years survive if it wasn't a cult classic. They're constantly calling people gay and queer, and that's in seasons one and two.

Michael Scott is honestly a really great picture of the woke left. He tries so hard to look accepting, inclusive, and cool with black people, but in doing so is actually super racist.

Also known as the Eminem Bitch Move.

Has to ramp up the virtue signaling x1000 to overcome past transgressions.

Seth Rogan is the walking, talking embodiment of the Peter Principle. He did well in movies he didn't write or direct, so he got bumped up to where people believed he could write or direct. Spoiler: he can't. And, he's a piss poor actor who can only play a narrow range of parts (stoner), he can't get roles.

Plus, he's a literal moron.

If you want to blame Seth Rogan on anyone, look no further than Judd Apatow, who made him famous. The guy responsible for Lena Dunham, another talentless waste of time.

this kinda 'splains it -- he's a Canadian Lefty:

Seth Aaron Rogen is a Canadian-American actor, comedian, writer, director, and producer. Having begun as a stand-up comedian in Vancouver, he moved to Los Angeles for a part in Judd Apatow's series Freaks and Geeks, and then got a part on the sitcom Undeclared, which also hired him as a writer.

Seath Rogen was just a regular fat loser...then he fell into a jar of pickle juice - FUCK YOU, GO SEE IT, then he realized he had the powers..of a pickle - FUCK YOU! Now, he fights crime on the streets, but is about the take on his biggest challenge yet, SAVING THE WORLD!? FUCK YOU - YOU’LL PAY FOR IT, WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO WATCH...FUCK YOU!

You watched a Seth Rogen movie and were shocked that it sucked?

Like Judd Apatow and Jim Carrey, he lost his ability to be funny because of his obsession with leftist politics.

Comedy is hard. It’s a lot harder to be funny than most people realize. Some people have a gift that they can be funny without incredible effort, but that part of their brain is very fragile. Once they start focusing their mind on something else they very quickly lose it.

Its because to be funny, you usually have to let your mind be free to jump to the funny thoughts, and then express those thoughts. Once you start thinking "I can't say that because it'll offend X group!" Then you've put in the mental traps to prevent your mind from going to the thoughts that would be funny.

I just watched the 1st episode of the Twilight Zone reboot and it's about a Comedian who tries to inject politics into his standup bit and noone laughs. It's not until he starts talking about real shit going on in his life that people connect and laugh. I think it just happens as people get older. I'm 32 and I think I've only got like 1-2 friends who stayed "cool" and still have the mindset where politics and the world at large can still be separate from our perspective. It's still US vs The World, so to speak. Everyone else subjugated themselves to the "larger tribe" and the narrative so certain things are "touchy" taken way too seriously.

I'm in my upper 40s and have the same experience. It's so painful. I used to think it was a West Coast thing because I moved out here decades ago, but I'm finding this idiotic attitude has infected a lot of the people from back "home".

Right.. to be funny you have to have a broader understanding.. deeper and they can't.Just like the left can't meme. Their movies are crap because they are driven to put their one dimension leftist BS in them to try to brainwash us.

Being "funny" comes very naturally to some people, like Seth Rogan. I do believe that his career was based on a natural talent for being funny. Most comedy actors in Hollywood are not "funny" because they spent years honing their craft, like a standup comedian has to. Most of them are just people who have an instinctive sense of timing and humor.

For people like that, it's a very tenuous grasp they have on their talent. Back to Seth Rogan, he was one of these kind of people. He just had a good sense of timing and was a physical type that fit in well with a wave of comedy films that came out about 10 years ago.

Unfortunately for him, the last 4 years has significantly interrupted his ability to be funny since his mind has lost its grasp on comedic timing.

The ironic thing is, the roles that made Rogan a star? He didn't write. And those roles were written for him. I've yet to see anything he's done on his own, using his "talent", that's funny. In most cases, it's a complete bore.

Apatow was funny, not Rogan. Anyone would be funny if they had apatow writing their lines.

Because juvenile humor is hard to pull off with a near 40 year old. It isn't funny anymore.

Kinda like watching Billy Idol sing his old songs about being a Rebel :D

But it does make me wonder now about the song "Cradle of Love" 😵🥴🤔

Well also when Juvenile humor is often offensive it also makes it hard when you're trying so hard not to offend anyone.

because it's way easier in today's world to spout platitudes for easy participation points as opposed to actually having to think and defend your views and opinions

I don't even know what movies he did do..... and most importantly, I DON'T CARE
