Do you watch Entourage? Yeah, me neither. But apparently on Sunday night’s episode, a few of the no-doubt-compelling characters had a long-overdue discussion about Knocked Up, coming to the conclusion that nobody as fat and ugly as Seth Rogen could never really land someone like Katherine Heigl.
Putting aside the question of just how obtainable Katherine Heigl really is, here’s how Rogen responded to this insult, according to Movieline:
“Yeah, those guys are a**holes. I actually ran into Matt…Kevin Dillon in a Starbucks. And he’s like ‘you know, I’ve got to kind of apologize because apparently the guy who created our show doesn’t like you so much.’ And I said ‘well I have reason to believe because I think [showrunner] Doug Ellin is a moron from all I can understand so it makes sense he doesn’t like me.’ And I’ve kind of said some disparaging things about the show. Although in our defense, [producer] Mark Wahlberg called us misogynistic in an interview, so I think they kind of started that…It’s on. Luckily I never have and never plan on watching Entourage.”
It’s kind of hard to know who to side with. On the one hand: Marky Mark accusing somebody else of misogyny? Feel the vibrations… of my laughter!
But on the other hand: Seth Rogen, are you really the guy to be calling other people morons? We all saw Superbad, dude. We all saw Pineapple Express. We all saw heard about Zack and Miri. You’re not quite the second coming of Orson Welles.
Maybe he’s just touchy because The Green Hornet is looking crappier and crappier all the time.

Saw the beginning of the film. It’s proof that alcohol works. Not so hot chick, not so hot dude looking to bag a hot prospect? Feed ‘em alcohol and be mildly intriguing.
Besides pop culture family set ups are full of examples of the “lucky” guy and the hot chick.
Pineapple Express? Is that the one with the Turkish prison?
YAY! Two entities I could not possibly care less about, more or less in a cage match. I love it when I can just sit back and enjoy the clawing and crotch-kneeing, without having an emotional stake on either side.
i actually think seth is kinda cute and i’m totally on his side. everyone who works on entourage is a complete douche and they should all go jerk off to each other somewhere far, far away.
I can see what happened on Knocked Up to occur more likely than the idiots on Entourage actually portraying real life.
With that said, I really don’t care, but could watch the grudgematch for a few giggles.
I thought Seth Rogen was a comedy actor, and would thus understand that a conversation on an ostensibly comedic show would be intended as a joke. If anyone can prove to me that Entourage made the Seth Rogan comments without jest (but only after making me care about any of them), I’d understand why he’s taking it so personally.
And if he really wants to be “the hot guy” in the movie world, a shave and a haircut, and a nice suit, would help. Along with taking more non-stupid roles, of course.
Sorry – IMHO Rogan is absolutely NOT believable as The Green Hornet. No way.
I’D be more believable at forty-three years old and 248lbs, most of it around my middle.
I enjoyed the movie Knocked Up, but I have yet to see (or hear of) a Seth Rogen movie where he doesn’t play a moron. And, after reading his quoted response, I understand why.
I have never watched “Entourage”. I have been made to watch the Seth Rogen movies. I can honestly say I don not think Seth is acting. I think Seth is playing himself with a different name. All the “characters” are exactly the same. If he can “act” other than as himself then The Green Hornet should be interesting. However, if I am correct it will be Seth Rogen calls himself The Green Hornet.
I thought that Superbad was hilarious, and had the perfect dialogue to represent high school.
Please don’t pretend that you guys don’t watch his movies and laugh. It’s annoying how so many people act like they are above his movies, when I know damn well that most people watch and laugh. That’s why it’s called a comedy. Considering how most of us who post here are (or at least seem to be) conservatives, it’s ironic how smug some posters are about watching Seth’s movies. I am quite sure that most deceiver poster’s nights out don’t consist of going to the opera.
Why watch entourage when you can watch any reality show with celebs these days and see it in Real Life.
For that matter, why watch “Entourage” when you can be knifed and kneecapped in half the time–and it’s more fun.
I’m sorry but I think Seth Rogen is totally hot. And Daniel Craig doesn’t absolutely nothing for me. So what do I know?
Dave, I’m more believable as the Green Hornet and I’m a girl.
Rogan movies and Entourage are cotton candy. You either like a little silly fluff once in a while or you don’t. No big deal. But if you are expecting steak than the issue is with you and not the actors.
But as dumb as these movies/shows may be I’d rather watch them than 90% of what Hollywood or TV put out. At least they are not taking themselves seriously. CSI? Law & Order? Hawthorne? The Closer? Grey’s Anatomy? House? All the others? I’ll take Entourage any day over all that horribly written and over-acted crap.
But really, sitting around the computer complaing about tv shows? Turn the channel or go outside and get some sun and maybe burn the latest bon-bons from your thighs.
Much worse than sitting around the computer complaining about people complaining about TV shows.
H.
I would love to go outside and get some sun. However, global warming hasn’t hit Michigan this year and we are consistantly below normal July temperatures and sun…what sun.
As for the above mentioned shows, don’t watch them. Just because I am not fond of Seth does not mean I watch that kind of crap either. There are a lot of other options out there. I, personally, am more a History Channel (which by the way did a great job of celebrating the 40th of the moon landing), Science, Military, and DIY.
And impossible as it may seem to you, some people don’t think Seth Rogen is all that funny. I’m sorry to put it so bluntly, and I don’t mean to hurt your feelings, but that’s just how it is.
True Simon, true.
Just disappointed in the lack of interesting posts lately. My bad. I’ll keep my complaining of the complainers to myself. But those complaing of these shows most likely watch some pretty terrible stuff themselves which is why posts like these serve no real purpose.
Surely, with all the ObamaCare fiascos, sinking poll numbers, corruption and non-transparency coming from the party in charge there should be more enlightening posts to be had.

True no matter who said it.

Doesn’t cover the fat part though…..
Ahh, the “band” exception.
Always valid, and I think Heigl would have Rogen if he played in a band.
F.S. – just not true. There are a lot of average looking people with stunning looking people. Not everyone is shallow.
No, I don’t need nor want to pretend that I watch Rogan or Entourage. Most nights our TV is off and we play board games. Scrabble does wonders for teenagers’ vocabulary and they loved to dispute whether a word truly exists that their parent comes up. I do not find Rogan funny, but I do understand his humor is geared/written towards the 20 somethings age demographic….which seems to find humor in things I personally think are tacky and tasteless. BUT….to each his own. I don’t complain about such things because as long as there is a market for writing like that, it will exist. Money talks.
I fully realize those shows/movies are written to certain age groups. I still do not have any interest in them.
“Please don’t pretend that you guys don’t watch his movies and laugh.”
Who’s pretending?
“And impossible as it may seem to you, some people don’t think Seth Rogen is all that funny. I’m sorry to put it so bluntly, and I don’t mean to hurt your feelings, but that’s just how it is.”
I know that this is your style, Simon, but there is no need to be so blunt with it. Not everyone likes his movies. Got it. However, just because I disagree with the tone of some people’s comments, doesn’t mean I hate the deceiver site, or you Simon. As a matter of fact, I love to check out this page daily, and you are my favorite poster without a doubt, as it takes a brave person these days to go out and criticize our president. Not to mention having anything considered close to a conservative opinion.
My point is that just because I disagree with you, you don’t have to portray me as an idiot for doing so.
No offense. I realize it’s tough to hear.
None taken. You’re still my favorite poster, even when you make me feel like a fool.
I just wish my comments were as hip/funny as Pastafarian, Jrod, or Fortunate_Son. Then I could sit at the cool kids table. But alas, it is not meant to be.
I can’t get past the brillo pad hairdo and beard oh, yeah and that wheatbelly
Never seen Entourage and I have only seen Rogen in Pineapple Express – A few funny bits but mostly it seemed self indulgent. I mean what was up with that bit where they wandered around in the forest? Maybe I am just too old. Plus I have a kid that got busted for possession – pot smoking is not terrible funny around here these days.
Yes, but the vast majority of the public is.
Present company always excepted. I myself could not even fill a wading pool.
Entourwhat??
Seth Who??
Don’t forget Keith Richards and Patty Hansen in the odd couples list.
a long-overdue discussion about Knocked Up, coming to the conclusion that nobody as fat and ugly as Seth Rogen could never really land someone like Katherine Heigl.
Of course, pairing hot babes with goofy, comic-looking guys is a traditional comic trope. It’s just inherently funnier than any other combination (both good-looking, both funny-looking, or good-looking guy with funny-looking woman). Think of vaudeville, the Marx brothers, Marilyn Monroe and Tom Ewell, any Jerry Lewis or Bob Hope movie, Jessica and Roger Rabbit, Playboy cartoons, etc. etc.
And maybe there’s some sexism and male wish-fulfillment in there, too (I had an ex who used to rail about that in cases like this). It could also be a dramatic choice: Rogen’s lack of movie-star looks makes him an Everyman, while casting a babe like Heigl adds dramatic tension and gives his character a tougher choice: if his girlfriend was unattractive, and especially if he were hotter than she was, the audience might think it unrealistic that he just doesn’t run when he hears her announcement. Would the movie would make dramatic sense if it had starred, say, Paul Walker and Rossy De Palma?
It’s like complaining that characters in action movies always get great parking spots and never need bathrooms: unrealistic, yes, but they’re unrealisms that serves the story.
Coupla things.. Stupid is funny, though not full-price-at-the-theater funny. Also, The whole point of _Green Hornet_ is that the actual white guy is incompetent and all the real heroic stuff is done by Bruce Lee. Sorta like Jack Burton in _Big Trouble in Little China_.
Now that that’s said, go back to your regularly scheduled snarking.
