Sony Prohibited Jonah Hill's 'Superbad' Character from Using PlayStation Due to 'Vile' Persona

Seth Rogen revealed that Sony deemed the character Seth, based on himself, too reprehensible to interact with their products on-screen.

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.
