Sony Blocked Jonah Hill’s Character in 'Superbad' From Using PlayStation

Seth Rogen revealed that Sony deemed the character 'too vile' to interact with its gaming console in the 2007 comedy.

Seth Rogen shared that Sony, which co-financed 'Superbad,' prohibited Jonah Hill's character Seth from touching a PlayStation on-screen.
The decision stemmed from Sony's view that the character was too 'reprehensible' to be associated with its gaming products.
In the film, Michael Cera’s character Evan is seen playing the PlayStation 2 game 'The Getaway: Black Monday,' while Seth avoids interacting with the console.
Rogen, who co-wrote the film, found the studio's note both amusing and personally insulting, as the character Seth was based on him.
Released in 2007, 'Superbad' is a coming-of-age comedy that remains a cultural touchstone, though Rogen has dismissed the idea of a sequel.
