It feels like Seth Rogan has been 34 for like 15 years.
literally lmao
Im the 1k like guy :)
Not really, I remember him being young in all of his past works (except Pineapple Express)
Weed my man
r-o-g-E-n it's in the title
The fact that he started writing Superbad in 8th grade is inspiring
You're inspiring
Gave him plenty of time to revise it into the classic that it is. I'm sure the concept and some scenes stayed but you have to imagine he redid alot of the script while growing up and developing as a man. Either way very inspiring
"The fact that he started writing Superbad in 8th grade is inspiring"
Yeah, if you're a 5 year old with brain damage.
More like deppressing, unless youre under 8 grader dude..
@@antiflo781 untrue regardless of your intelligence it is still inspiring that he had the initiative and the drive to commit to something like that because for most people doing something like that that young is quite difficult
This Is The End is one of my favorite comedies of all time, that movie is glorious. Props to Channing Tatum for taking that role, that was one of the most unexpected and hilarious camois ever.
What does changing Tatum do in it again
30:20
Jesus loves y’all! God bless y’all! “Jesus is the way, and the truth, and the life.” John 14:6.’”””
I like to call him Channing Tate YUM
My buddies and I have watched that movies so many times we always joke that we’ve never seen it. That movie is an absolute masterpiece 😂
Superbad is one of the gold standard teen comedies of the 21st century. It’s SO accurate to actual high school antics and problems. Amazing film and so quotable
I think booksmart and Napoleon dynamite are the better teen comedies
@@Lumber_jocksain't no way bruh
@@Lumber_jocks cap
@@Lumber_jocksbro said booksmart
People don't forget!
i love how Seth Rogan basically always plays his normal self but in different situations
Just like will Smith
Exactly. This Is The End where he plays himself is still the same in all his movies lol
So when you think about it he's really not a good actor.
Rogen
laboon 467 my bad
This man gave us Superbad. That’s more than enough to be remembered.
I just cant believe it's already 12 years old..
based on true events too . incredible
FearTheXI one of the funniest movies ever

eating sugar no papa nah it's an amazing movie
Seth has defined comedy for me growing up. Such an epic career already. Can’t wait for what the future holds.
Seth really deserves so much respect on his name. We wouldn’t have The Boys without him
his movies are my fav legit best genre “weed movies”😂
Well he's hosting a pottery competition tv show up here in Canada.
I’m disappointed they didn’t ask him about the controversy of releasing the interview in theaters, when North Korea threatened them and instead released it online. I would’ve love to hear his thoughts on that.
Dax Shepard has a podcast called Armchair Expert and one of the early episodes is with Seth. They talk more in depth about that situation and it's pretty interesting.
Seth Rogen literally saved the comedy genre in the 2000s
Carson Greene don’t forget Will Ferrell
Even Adam Sandler lol the longest yard was great
Will Ferrell, Seth Rogen, Adam sandler literally saved the 2000s
Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg saved the comedy genre in the 2000s
GTFO.
I love that Seth kept putting Jonah in his movies
It reminds me of Adam sandler always putting rob in the movies
Nat L fr
why wtf
We gone be alright if we put drake on every hook
Jonah may not be everyone’s favorite but we must admit he is a very resilient slightly cocky fluffy hipster punching bag for all of America and his friends. He also made mid 90s that was despite it’s flaws and crutch on nostalgia was enjoyable, brought a bit of spotlight to Indy old school style. Which we cannot deny he is far more creative than us apes here in the comments of a UA-cam video😂.
That idea he once mentioned of a This Is The End sequel, where the REAL apocalypse happens at that movie’s premiere, was so good. I hope they make that one day.
Might be very different now considering Seth has cut ties with James Franco.
@@TooCooFoYou why is that?
@@DavidLopez-tj7jl women were saying he was tryin to hook up with them at his acting school
@@mycelium1456 na it was worse than that. Much worse
@@christiangraff5236it really wasn’t
it's... amazing how much of seth's life experinces ended up in his comedy movies.... I am just amazed that these type of things happened in someone's real life lol.
Your role as B.O.B in Monsters vs. Aliens is overwhelmingly underrated
BlueJay 772 same with his role in Green Hornet
I've been haunted until this moment wondering who TF voiced B.O.B. my life is complete finally o..o

And now superbad and pineapple express are cult classics.... Good job sir

Not even cult classics, just classics
Nothing cult about it
@@bordercitykid Its Still in that Category
Sosa Montana Cult classic implies that there are a lot of people that don’t like it. Which is simply not true. These movies are classics. Period.
Freaks and geeks is one of the greatest shows of all time. So good at putting believable, human characters on screen
realll i was sad they didn’t continue
Pineapple Express could’ve been dropped in the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, 00’s and now and it still would be a classic.
I always feel that Pineapple Express was ahead of it's time.
I remeber when it came out rolling Stones called it the ultimate stoner movie, I was in high school, it was a pretty big deal then like probably one of the only movies I actually saw in theaters over pirating.
Yeah, that and Blade Runner and 2001: Space Odyssey.
It was made at the perfect time ..and its the best stoner movie ever, I used to love getting high and watching it, it was the best times ever looking back
Me too

Is it just me who loves Seth's laughter?? So infectious!
I find that a lot of time I'm laughing at Seth Rogan's laugh rather than with it. Even if he didn't say anything funny, the moment I hear that "hyuh hyuh hyuh" I crack up.
I always love it when actors that are known for comedic parts can also nail serious parts.
Superbad is an honest-to-God classic. It captured being an idiot teenage boy in the 2000s just perfectly. I think it's going to be looked back on really well by history
It has a new type of comedy that just "got" the type of humor that has been missing in films. Put Superbad in my top 3 comedies EVER!!!
Its already a cult classic.
It will be, if is not already, up there with Life of Brian, Airplane!, A Fish CAlled Wanda, Young Frankenstein, Duck Soup, Anchorman, There's something about Mary, Dumb and Dumber, Groundhog's Day, etc.
Thank you! My boyfriend hates that movie, im like how?! I saw it in high school my junior year of high school. Iconic movie. Still makes me laugh
I didn't know it came out in 2007 nor did I know it was set in the early 2000s
I watched it cause I'd watched every other DVD in the house
I was told nothing about it my guardian just walked in the room said "You're watching superbad?" 🙂🤣and just laughed his head off while he walked out the room. Did not stop even after he left and still not one world. Now I totally get that. I rewatched it and rewatched it and I stopped counting after the 8th time that day. I can't stand fangirling but whenever Seth, Jonah or Michael Cera are around I very much enjoy fangirling and can't help it 😅THEYRE SO AWESOME!!! 👏👏👏
This is the End doesn’t get enough credit.
Amazing movie
Agreed. Maybe my favourite comedy of all time. Have probably seen it 8-10 times.
because it is one of his worst movies
And The Interview doesnt get enough love. It was "cool" to hate on the movie when it came out.
When Danny is eating their food and 5 mins after is one of my favorite movie scenes ever
I have literally loved Seth Rogen since Freaks and Geeks, he can do no wrong in my eyes! Pineapple Express and This is the End - 2 of my favorite movies of all time 😂😂😂
And now he's Donkey Kong. I'm sure that'll win him an Oscar
no it wont
@@ladygragra the sarcasm works better when you don't have to explain it

Hot Fuzz.
Watched it once. Horrible movie.
pineapple express???
Ijustwanttocommentfugoogle ur so edgy. epic comment!
The way he keeps the same crew throughout his movie years, is probably the single most thing I respect about the industry
Kinda like Adam Sandler
Sandler does the same thing genius
Heck yeah just like Adam sandler
Dont know why, but the universe told me to type in Adam Sandler.
it is actually quite common
This is one of the best interviews I’ve ever seen. Thank you for being you, seth
His a creative genius. “This is the end” would not be what it is without them actually playing actors, that’s the whole point of the movie. Absolute genius
Ikr so smart
“Jonah had a heatstroke”
(Jonah dancing the background)
Man I thought I was the only one who noticed
@Michael Kiely ?
@Michael Kiely ok grammar police who tf asked
I seen this comment right when the part came on😂

Seth Rogen is a perfect ambassador for stoners to normies. He’s the good kind of stoner
There are bad kind of stoners?
@@Dog10101 yes mate
@@Dog10101 have u never seen half baked? Go do some research an get back with us lol
Possibly the world's most productive stoner.
No such thing as bad stoners. Just bad people who get stoned.
I genuinely love Seth's laugh, it's way to precious.
Not going to lie....that whole Jay vs Seth's new life friends dynamic felt real in This Is The End and its also very relatable for alot people in Hollywood and life in general. To find out that it's like kind of a true dynamic that was based off real life problems and stuff that was actually going on between the group of friends probably made it that much more masterful of acting. That's awesome
Someone at gq is a serious fan of Seth, this video is way more of a full interview than usual and more in depth on other topics
I bet Seth just had lots to share so they were able to keep more material without editing out much boring stuff
TheKiss that very well could be the case but I wanna believe someone at GQ loves Seth as much as I do!
Who isnt a fan of seth rogan
Roslynn Lee not anybody I want to know
I love Seth's vibe. Hes genuinely happy, loves his job and got rich doing it. My life goal.
most rich god figures are genuinely sad and hate their job. or wait. no. they all love it. therefore he is not unique. one difference between rogain and other celebs, is, other celebs have talent.
LostinOC sour
That’s because he smiles a lot of weed. It’s impossible to not be happy when that high.

@@dakota.7617 I would rather hate talented hacks, vs worship them, like you. Call me whatever makes you happy, I couldn't care less. Cheers.
Seth is like your friend in high school that everyone loved but was kinda worried that he wasn't going to make it. He made it!!!
Honestly, the interview is underrated and super intelligently comedic gold
literally no one:
seth rogan: HUHAHUHGAG

I love that laugh.

Ri Gemini auto correct. Didn’t check for proper spelling.
Robert Guevara I actually met him and that’s not his real laugh
@@emuemu-sun6997 oh, rly? How his laugh sounds irl?
Everytime I've ever seen Seth Rogen, all I could really see was his potential to play Donkey Kong. Now, after all these years, he finally got the role he was meant to play
I laughed so hard at the foot through the windshield scene. It's the kind of amazing moment of slapstick that you rarely see in contemporary movies. I agree with Seth that it's the funniest moment in any of his movies.
The way he broke down -why- that scene is funny was amazing to watch. Super inspiring.
That story of how Jonah Hill ended up in SuperBad is pretty incredible....
Meant to be
AtomicStoner77 7 they were on the same movie set there wasn’t any stalking
AtomicStoner77 7 of u actually listened they were talking abt the role he was going to play in the 40 yr old virgin in 2004 not Superbad. Superbad didn’t even come out till 2008 Jonah didn’t know abt it
I think my favorite part of the Franco and Rogan duo is how authentic their dialogue always sounds in their movies. It literally just sounds like their normal conversations were caught on camera.
literally yes
Too bad they're not friends anymore..
I grew up in the prime of Seth Rogen. So many good movies. Zack & Miri is my fav, so great
Freaks and geeks definitely one of those shows that holds up such a well exacuted show.
Seth Rogan seems like such a cool dude, I wish I knew him irl
rogen
In real life. Just spell it out.
@Mike Hunt Everyone does.
Move to LA and meet him
yew dew ☺️
That laugh is legendary.
Seth is a legend. Seems like the chillest dude
If you'd smoke half of the weed that Seth has smoked you'd be just as chill as him
Arthur heghegh
Legend huh? How old are you , 12? Doesn't take much to be a legend these days I guess.
Les Portelli He's a legend for creating and starring in comedies that can now be considered classics. Superbad, Pineapple Express, The 40-Year-Old Virgin...the list goes on. Certified legend.
You must be high if you think otherwise - unlike Seth, it seems like you can't handle weed
he's really just some guy with funny ideas and good connections. gotta respect that
“I was born with both male and female parts”
“Uhuh”
Axel Martinez that was the rumor about Jamie Lee Curtis
"Weed is tight, weed is tight." Favorite jonah hill line ever.
He ain’t wrong either lol
Give weed to the person that has psychical pain medical
"It's the people's weed"
“I smoked weed with Steve Jobs, and that’s when he came up with the iPad” has to be mine.

This is the End is one of my favorites, I rarely watch things more than once, but have watched it over and over and laugh so hard every time ❤😂
"lingerer" line in Pineapple Express is one of my faves, always go back to watch it
I’ve never been so excited to watch a 40 minute video on UA-cam
Same here!
I thought I was the only wierdo who got excited to see that it was 40 min long with seth Rogen!
Y’all better be stoned watching this video
I didn't even know it was a 40 minute video until i read this comment. I just saw seth rogen and was like, "click." Didn't realize how much of his movies i actually watched in my life.
Facts
Seth is low-key a genius.
high key
We can't wait to be back out playing live for you
@@vincentzimmerman9984 What?
Do they got out of chronological order on purpose? I feel like its so much better for the viewer and easier for the person to show progression and range. No way im the only person that feels that way
I often hear directors/producers talk about how finding the right people for roles and just trusting that they will bring the performances they want, often far beyond what they expected. While obviously movies are highly complex, casting seems like one of the cornerstones of good movies. Whether it's the start of an unbelievable career, or they are bringing on a veteran actor, if the movie is good it has to be the right actors for the role. Some actors are chameleons, like Heath Ledger where you can barely recognize them. You would never believe that he's the same actor in "A Knights Tale," "Brokeback Mountain," or when he plays, "The Joker." His voice, mannerisms, its all radically different.
Can't even imagine pineapple Express with Rogan and Franco's rolls reversed.. lol
Indiana Jones wow that would be amazing
Indiana Jones hey checkout my channel any feedback helps
Yeah man would be crazy
I feel you, i love bread rolls
*James Franco was the best for his roll.*
His laugh sounds like a car trying to start
Except more godly
Usually that’s pretty frustrating instead of hilarious. Life would be so much better if cars struggling to start sounded like Seth laughing

Think you need a new car 🤣
@@breetopkuschi9657 but then seths laugh would be frustrating
They rly needa do one of these with Danny McBride
It just dropped tonight. That’s how I ended up on this video.
Seth carries a great tradition in comedy working with the same gang on almost every movie like Sandler, Month Python, etc when a cast works so well and each member brings something to the table all u need is new scripts
"A cop, a lady, and a guy? That's a massacre!"
James Franco has RANGE.

Everyone forgets how unexpected it was for Franco to play the drug dealer in Pineapple Express. He was still a classic Hollywood leading man at that point. AFTER PE, he started taking all the stoner roles.
What do you mean with "taking all the stoner roles"? I cant really come too think about much stoner rolls that he played at all.
