Seth Rogen* (autocorrect lol) on ai writing “good tv”

[BonnieMcFarlaneMe2]

Its where I really learned what weed culture was. I knew what weed was and knew my oldest brother smoked it, but id never even seen it IRL before. My bro had a VHS copy of it and we were driving from up north to down south and my parents rented a conversion van with a tv in the back for us little shits. We didnt have shit to watch so we watched Half Baked like 5 or 6 times throughout the trip and by the last viewing, id made up my mind i was determined to try smoking weed. I have a feeling it would be a realllly cringy movie these days so im with you. Ill preserve the positive memories of it rather than ruining it. Same with How High. The bicycle scene was funny back in the day but id be willing to bet it doesnt hold up.

I haven’t seen them in a while but I bet both of those movies hold up pretty well for goofy stoner movies. Grandma’s Boy might be my favorite movie of all time. I know that’s not what you were talking about but it’s pot tawk Monday on a Saturday.

When I saw Funny People, I didn't hate it but it didn't age well with me. I appreciated how Rogan and Jonah Hill actually went out and did comedy sets to get their characters down, but now I think that comedy is a fool's game so their efforts mean nil to me.

Superbad has not aged well and I never understood the appeal of Pineapple Express. Maybe Freaks and Geeks.

Bizarrely Freaks and Geeks was a good show but was cancelled for much better shows like Reba

AI is the biggest threat to Jews because they can blame anti-semitism this time.

Cheech and Chong were the only ones who could pull off an entire movie based on stoners. Because if you make the sole theme of the movie about weed, it had better be funny.

That's exactly why I maintain that the best stoner movie is the hilarious laugh a minute Oliver Stone (more like Oliver Stoner) classic Savages

Rogan or Rogen?

In all seriousness, has he done anything funny besides Superbad and Pineapple Express?

I actually really enjoyed Pam & Tommy and completely didn't expect to, but I don't think he wrote it - just developed and starred in. I hate him in most stuff, but his performance in that is completely ego-free.

Rogan or Rogen?

If you had to type that out, then you know who I meant. The less bald one.

 

[RoTheHo69]

AHAHAHA weed! This guy sucks balls and so does television for the last 20 years.

 

[Nana Cumia]

I like the movie where he smoked a lot of weed maaaaaan.

If you're gonna write a comedy scene with A.I., you're gonna have some rat feces in there...(Mr. Show did this bit better with the child labor stuff)...

Freaks and Geeks was a terribly overrated "underrated" show that I turned off after the first episode (there were some talented actors involved who were wasted by the contrived joo writing). Superbad was such forced unfunny shit that spawned a whole bunch of other shitty movies. Rogen and Apatow have never created anything original or funny I will maintain. Even with Larry Sanders, Apatow only joined the show after its entire structure was already in place. Other producers like Tolan, Vitti, and Riggi were much better comedy writers and deserve far more praise for the success of that show than Apatow.

This Is 40 (minutes too long). Paul Feig has the same problem.

"You know how I know you're gay? You crocheted yourself a pair of jean shorts." is the apex point of his career. He should be happy with that, it's a funny line.
