During a red carpet interview at SXSW, Seth Rogen shared an amusing anecdote about Sony's reaction to Jonah Hill's character in Superbad. Originally, Hill's character was supposed to play a PlayStation 2, but Sony objected, claiming the character was too vile to be associated with their products. This request, stemming from Hill's portrayal of Seth, surprised Rogen as he felt it was an insult since the character was based on him. Eventually, they revised the scene to avoid this stipulation, showcasing Cera's character engaged in gameplay instead.
"Jonah Hill's Character, Seth, was so reprehensible to the studio... they were like, 'We can't have him interact with our products as a character, because [he's] too vile a character.'"
"I was like, 'It's based on me! That's very insulting,' Rogen continued, still laughing. 'But we accommodated them, ultimately.'"
