Overview

• Seth Rogen shared that Sony, co-financier of 'Superbad,' banned Jonah Hill's character Seth from using a PlayStation in the film.
• The studio described the character as 'too vile' to be associated with their gaming console, despite the character being based on Rogen himself.
• This restriction led to Michael Cera's character, Evan, being the only one shown playing a PlayStation 2 game in the movie.
• Rogen described the studio's note as the funniest he'd ever received, though he admitted finding it personally insulting at the time.
• This anecdote was revealed during the SXSW premiere of Rogen's new Apple TV+ series, 'The Studio,' debuting March 26.
